[...] Obama tried pushing a claim that Palin tried to ban a while bunch of books when she was mayor of Wasilla. Problem is that the claim is a hoax, it’s a list that’s been circulating the internet for years only recently attributed to Palin, and even worse the list includes books that handed even been written yet when Palin was mayor. So much for Palin being the queen of dirty smear tactics. [...]

As Jason said “You realize that anyone could have left that list. Even you”

Cool! We can start posting pro McCain/Palin content on Obama’s website.

That list was posted on a blog contained within the Obama website, not “official” website content. Like if I post on my blogger.com blog it’s Google’s “official” position? As Jason said “You realize that anyone could have left that list. Even you”

Sad Richard… Last I check Ollie North still runs around with McCain and et al and he was a conficted subverter of the Constitution of the United States. How more traitorious can you be – then lying and going around the laws of the land. We could make this real interesting.

To reiterate what others are saying, this is a blog, comments by members of the site. The list, which I immediately knew was fake, has been put up there by an individual. The problem with your article is that you purport this list to be somehow something official from the campaign itself. Now considering that I also received a copy of this list via email this morning, immediately knew it was probably not correct, checked around using google, realized it was not..would indicate to me that you also probably realized the same thing. Next, when I read your post, I also realized that this was most likely a member at the open group on Obama’s website and certianly not an official statement from the Obama campaign. Thus, either you realized that same thing, and are creating a smear or you are just ignorant.
I would guess that the McCain/Palin campaign also has a website with members and posting privileges – which leaves to door open for all types of posts that their campaign does not support…or maybe not?

What’s important is that she asked about banning books and then fired the librarian.

Web 2.0 gives us the ability to express opinions, inaccuracies and ideas with a collective voice (the wisdom of crowds) – the best tool yet for intellectual freedom. Anyone who questions the need for intellectual freedom in a democracy does not need to be near the White House.

Oh Richard,
Obama donated the Rezco $$ to charity. FYI
