This is getting more ridiculous even as it gets easier to knock down
Posted on September 3, 2008
Governor Sarah Palin banned books! Didn’t you know that? The New York Times started this, and naturally people take it and run with it. More on the influence of the New York Times on the gullible and obedient at another post here. (Really, click on that last link. I like it).
So what books did she ban? Thanks to the leftist bloggers who have done so very much to advance research and journalism in the last several days, now we know. Click here. It seems that one Andrew Aucoin [edited here by the author to remove in irrelevant and unnecessary speculation], on librarian.net, has come up with the definitive list of the books that Governor Palin tried to get banned.
Now understand that this is already getting picked up around the web. Here’s the problem. If you combine some of the exact text of “the banned book list” into a search, you find something like this:
So, is this latest bit of leftist fantasy sufficiently smacked down? What the hell will they just make up next?

They’re just going to keep getting worse, the closer we get to election day; and when Obama is struck down by the Electoral College, pull out an umbrella and raincoat, cuz it’s gonna hit the fan. If he IS elected, throw out the umbrella and raincoat and pull out a full biohazard suit, cuz it’s gonna hit the fan sideways.
I’ve recently read posts by some black bloggers, many of them people I’ve always credited with great insight and intelligence, unfortunately caught up in the nonsense of Obamacracy, stating forthrightly or obliquely that they are voting for him based on nothing more than the color of his skin. It saddens me when rational, intelligent AMERICANS are reduced to this type of behavior, but I guess that’s where we are today: Sports stars valued over teachers, vapor over substance, illusions and delusions over reality and hopes and goals and dreams.
In many ways I understand this mentality, the first time in history a black candidate has been a viable candidate for the highest office in the country. BUT… having the opportunity, shouldn’t they want to back a candidate who might actually effect change, rather than just pay it lip service? Obama is no Dr. King, that’s for sure.
I have a lot of bad feelings stirring, thinking about an Obama presidency. I can’t help thinking how the pendulum could break loose and swing wildly in any number of directions: More open and direct hostility directed against whites or, if he bungles completely, more open and direct discrimination towards blacks–setting their movement back decades. Either way, if Obama sits in the Oval Office, one race or the other is going to suffer, I just know it.
Again, he is no Dr. King, a man who could have truly brought us together as Americans, not wedging himself in the crack and pushing hard to reopen the rift.
Angie….you are right on!!! I wish this was posted for many more Americans to read! I pray everyday that God will open the eyes and ears of Obamas followers to see what he really stands for. Which he doesnt even know. I watched Sarah Palin’s speech tonight and got the American pride running through my blood, not anger like when I watched Obama. Thank you for your post and I am telling everyone to please read it!!! Please try and post this as many places as you can. Would it be alright with you if I copied this and sent it out in an email? I will put your name on it and give you full credit. I just feel that you have a way with words and this could open alot of eyes! Thank you again for such a wonderful insight!!!
This only proves how many liars come from the left - I have never seen so much made-up stuff in my life and it just keeps coming and coming.
I’m really getting sick of the MSM and their lies about Palin. Every chance (people in a position to) get, they need to push this “the media has been lying all along, these are the lies, and this is the evidence”. Eventually enough people will have an opportunity to see the truth. It’s hard to get the media to account for their sins when all the leftists have each other’s back.
Angie,
You are SO RIGHT! How dare those “black bloggers…voting for him based on nothing more than the color of his skin”. That would be like putting a completely unqualified woman on the ticket and expecting Hillary supporters to vote for her simply because she has a vagina, too. Anyone who would do that must be a complete fool.
You people are out-of-touch and dangerous. Why do you hate the constitution SO MUCH! Step away from Fakes News and get a real education on our wonderful country, our brilliant forefathers, and what they did that makes our country the greatest on Earth.

Sorry Mike, but Angie has a valid point. Well, several really.
Obama as a candidate: the tacit admission, sometimes direct, that people are voting for Obama because he is black is undeniable. There was even an article that tried to state that black Republicans were even going to vote for him for that reason. And to be sure, Hillary did not really have any more experience than Obama, which indicates that many in fact did vote “for the vagina” rather than the candidate. This is just inappropriate by thinking individuals on both counts.
The real question is: is Obama the best black candidate, or more importantly, the best candidate, that the DNC could produce? We know it is not enough to be black alone, regardless of experienc (see Clarence Thomas), but rather, the preference is to be black and Democrat, and an ultraleft one at that.
Mike compares Obama to Palin, but that is an apples/oranges comparison. What the argument hinges on is the definition of the term “qualified.” Obama has titles, and few bills that he helped on (or were passed to him), but in reality, he is one vote out of a hundred in a big committee. And in many cases, avoided even that responsibility. Ask yourself: what has he run? What are his real accomplishments (review HOW he got elected as well as the fact he did).
Palin, on the other hand, as a mayor and governor of Alaska, is/was the final word in the executive chain. She bucked the system and her own party on many occasions. Obama never did. Like it or not, she does have more executive experience than Obama, at least by my definition. Running a campaign is not real executive experience, but if so, it is meager. Additionally, if it is, it benefits McCain, and now Palin, as well. Biden ran unsuccessful campaigns, so his experience as an executive can only be counted as ineffective.
The statement “The vice president has two duties. One is to inquire daily as to the health of the president, and the other is to attend the funerals of Third World dictators.
shows that the position of VP is an on the job training and grooming position for an eventual presidential run of their own. Taking over for an incapacitated or deceased president is less applicable but still a consideration. It is a nice handle for Dems to grab with respect to McCain’s age, irrespective of his actual health, and about as much a campaign topic as Obama’s race: both something neither can do anything about.
Similarly, Biden’s resume is one of longevity rather than accomplishments, and he is the real person who should be compared to Palin. It is Obama’s own thin resume that draws the comparisons to Palin.
“Out of touch?” “Hate the Constitution?” “Dangerous?” Easy statements to make, harder to back up in a nonpartisan way. Why don’t you try?
As for myself, I would rather vote for a war hero and a governor than two lawyers. Maybe it is just a lawyer thing for me, but I think they would “wreck havoc” (Obama the orator said that) on the economy and the rest of the country, and put us at considerably more risk on the world state, presuming Obama means what he says (I take some heart in the fact he does not).
“What the hell will they just make up next?”
My guest: Sarah Palin has been involved in an affair with Bristol Palin’s babydaddy Levi Johnston.
Or has this already been suggested by lovely folks at Daily Kos?
They’ve become a caricature, these liberals. A circus act.
“What the hell will they just make up next?”
Really good question.
I think once the McCain-Palin campaign has successfully answered the “big-spending Republican” smears, they’re going to really hit hard with the “slashed funds for teen mothers/disabled children/etc/etc/etc” lies.
Or they’ll do the hits in the opposite direction.
And then there’ll be a whole round of anchors talking about, “How can the Rethuglicans… I mean Republicans… possibly expect to convince the American people simultaneously that she slashed the budget with her line-item veto AND increased spending on these good things? I mean that just doesn’t pass the laugh test.”
Remember… they only have to keep the cloud of filth flying for 59 days…
It’s getting even crazier:

What is wrong with being conservative? I like Sarah Palin because she is not afraid to speak loud and clear. Besides, I haven’t listen anything radical on her speech. Letfists need to grow up and fight the debate of the ideas, not start spreading lies.
