Stein says that as mayor, Palin continued to inject religious beliefs into her policy at times. "She asked the library how she could go about banning books," he says, because some voters thought they had inappropriate language in them. "The librarian was aghast." That woman, Mary Ellen Baker, couldn't be reached for comment, but news reports from the time show that Palin had threatened to fire Baker for not giving "full support" to the mayor.

Shortly after becoming mayor, former city officials and Wasilla residents said, Ms. Palin approached the town librarian about the possibility of banning some books, though she never followed through and it was unclear which books or passages were in question.
Anne Kilkenny, a Democrat who said she attended every City Council meeting in Ms. Palin's first year in office, said Ms. Palin brought up the idea of banning some books at one meeting. "They were somehow morally or socially objectionable to her," Ms. Kilkenny said.
The librarian, Mary Ellen Emmons, pledged to "resist all efforts at censorship," Ms. Kilkenny recalled.

I see she is continuing the proud church tradition of book <s>burning</s> banning.
Yes, yes, I remember Hillary and Hot Coffee. Fuck her too.

Sorry. As much as I want to believe Time magazine and the NY Times (That's New York Times for hipsters) I just can't fathom why the librarian "couldn't be reached for comment".
A librarian? Unable to be reached for comment? That is some staunch egalitarian doctrine for a librarian. Of course, librarians must hold master's degrees. I'll bet most of you didn't know that.
Fuck you mudwhistle.

What the fuck are you going on about? Are you disputing the fact that she actually requested for books to be banned? No matter how biased a news source is, it's quite hard to create facts entirely out of thin air. You can google "Palin book banning" if you want your own sources. What's a mudwhistle? Some new cuttig edge insult?

Is she a god damn Nazi? Book burning? This whore preaches oppression.
Uber, this bitch is dangerous. I'm not even kidding anymore. I'm literally afraid of what might happen if she were to ever make it to office. We should amend the constitution to make it unconstitutional for people this extreme to hold a public office.

we should amend the constitution to say that sandmantate should be shot on sight.

Agreed. Book banning is ridiculous in a country that cherishes free speech.
Unless the books are about homos. And homo sex. I wouldn't want MY kid reading that perverted shit.

Do not fool yourself into believing that supression of information is a single party thing. All of them do it to serve their ends. Don't believe the hype.

Sad but true. Simple fact is that much information would be unpleasant, if not outright offensive, to certain sections of the population at any one time. The test for censorship should be nothing less than danger, not merely offence. "Niggers, kikes and fags are evil" should be allowed. "How to kill all niggers, kikes and fags" (assuming it contains serious information) should not.
