Banning Books Is Very Anti-American

Palin's attempt to bann books is a chilling fact about how she views the world. On top of that she tried to destroy someone's career over banning books. She is a bad person

Assuming that you mean "liar"... Juice was expressing an opinion, which can't be a lie anymore than it can be considered the truth. It is an opinion.

We all still get to have those, yes?

She tried to fire the librarian because she didn't have her full support. What the hell does than mean? A librarian has to give her full support to the Mayor?

That smacks of a petty little tyrant in this case in a skirt.

no she stated two "facts": 1) Palin tried to ban books and 2) she tried to ruin someone's career. I am saying that both of those statements are lies. She never tried to ban a book. She asked about the procedure to ban books. If you can provide me with the title of a specific book she tried to have banned, kindly do so.

as to trying to ruin someone's career, I guess you could take the view that firing someone is doing that, but I think that's really pushing it-in my opinion which, yes, we still get to have.

Who asks about the procedure to ban books? That's a pretty fucking weird question, and seems to indicate she was at least thinking about banning books. Who thinks about banning books? That's a bizarre thing to be thinking.

I suppose if one asks the procedure for lynching a black man, it means they didn't actually do the lynching. But just thinking and asking about the procedure is pretty damn bizarre.

I'll put that down as a "no" on naming a book Palin tried to ban
thanks

My bad for assuming again... I figured you were referring to the "she's a bad person" statement because the other statements are easy enough to prove or disprove, which you did not attempt to do.

Yes. Including del.

And no, OJ is not just stating an opinion. He is stating an opinion based on a lie.

Because you hire employees who do not support your business/administration?

R-i-g-h-t.

Remember who and what you are dealing with. I said the same in another thread so the reasoned response was to create a new one.

Dude ... get real. Do you respond to homosexual threads? Does your considering the topic of homosexuality mean you are considering being a homosexual?

Your math is lame.

...Or you can judge your opinion on whether she is a good choice as a leader based on this from the internet...

Mayor Palin: A Rough Record - TIME

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.

It is an interesting read... apparently, at least according to Time Magazine, she asked after the procedure on how to ban books...

I won't be voting for her. Ever. (This part is my opinion)

I have no idea if Palin did this or not, but it is highly disturbing that anyone purporting to believe in "freedom" and "liberty" would ban books outside of societal norms such as banning porn in a library.
