   I’ve read 90% of the books on this list. I don’t understand why Scary Stories 3 gets the ban, but not the clearly inferior Scary Stories 2. I have the box set of all three volumes. Banning vol 3 makes no sense.

   I expect a Kos diarist to point out that Palin failed to ban Mein Kampf and the The White Man’s Bible. Certainly this is a diabolical indication of support of these views.

   These people really are, well, believable. Oprah has BHO and Wifeypoo on but sez she doesnt want to politicize her show so Sarah Palin is out. The same people will tell you that black hole is a racist term, they advocate the fairness doctrine, etc, etc. Try that on the subject of Nazism and see what a monstrosity that becomes. They have made words phrases unspeakable, most of the pre 1970’s comedy must be tossed out, a roast, not any more. I learned long ago that if you take what they say and twist it around 180 degrees that will be closer to the truth. They are the censors pretending to be offended by who they portray as censors. Conservatives are not afraid of the pen it may be mightier than the sword but only if there is steel (truth) in that ink.

    This has GOT to get out on the mainstream media – it is on Obama’s own website, and is definitive proof that they are intentionally making libelous statements about Palin. I say intentional because there has already been comments made on the post advising them of the issue, and I have myself clicked on the ‘report objectionable content’ link and advised them of the untruthfulness of their article twice, with specific examples such as the Harry Potter book. I have demanded a retraction. Failure for them to act proves their complicity.

    I believe conservative just want the truth to be told, and not lied to. Censorship doesn’t fit well with fewer taxes less government control, smaller government and more personal freedom. It does however, fit with the Marxist ideology, and the Hugo Chavez playbook. Communist, and libbs are always the ones who censure the ideas they don’t want everybody to hear. An example: If you have a crucifix standing in urine, it’s artwork, but if you want to film a commercial featuring US Marines in San Francisco then that needs to be censured. It’s the moonbats who want to censure everybody else, not conservatives.

    McCain/Palin in a landslide.

    Considering the high favorability pts that Palin is getting, and the high ratings from McCain’s speech, you’d better hope so. At the very least, it’s about time for McCain to take a small lead in the polls. Things have never gone better for him this summer, than they have every day since 8/29/08. The polls next Tuesday should tell the whole state of things. If McCain isn’t at least going into a slight lead, everything is at the pre-convention status(a tie), or Obama has gained.
    We’ll see what’s up next week. If I were a McCain supporter, I’d be worried if he doesn’t take a slight lead by next week.

    The idea of this bogus list is to discredit any effort by elected officials or senior management to exercise supervisory authority over a local functionary. That is a standard and long term part of the government employees union culture. The fact that this is a library setting and that the entire episode is probably faked is besides the point. All civilian government employees, school teachers, law enforcement officers, air traffic controllers, etc. are constantly working to make themselves unaccountable. Many work harder on that than on their jobs.

    The fun part here is that they drew up a list of acknowledged classics from the western literary canon and then slipped in a few examples of recent mediocrity. Resources are limited so why should the local library have to pay for Heather and her Mommies or the blatherings of Maya Angelou? If the bien pesants of San Francisco or New York, places I being really rather sophisticated like, do not want the vast unwashen masses crashing their parties then they need to show a little tolerance in leaving rural democracy alone.

    mistressjustice – I wouldn’t worry about the polls that much. There are several things working in our favor even if the polls are tied. There is the Bradley effect (Obama consistently polled better then he did in Primaries (not Caucasus, but primaries). Also, a lot of conservatives don’t trust the MSM or polling organizations. Some just hang up on them out of spite for their bias. Also a large part of Obama’s base was the youth vote, they will answer poll questions, but if Obama isn’t the Rock Star on election day, they won’t bother going to vote for him. His star if fading fast.

    You’d better stick with misquoting the law. You know very little about polling, and apparently nothing about the history of presidential polling. Normally, this far out from the election, the Democrat candidate is far in front of the Republican, for a variety of reasons, not the least due to the fact that most of the pollsters are Democrats and want to make it appear that their candidate is doing well. They routinely oversample Democrats and undersample Republicans. At this time, as I recall, even Carter was leading Reagan by around 10-15 points, and probably Dukakis did as well during the 1984 race.

Of course BHO and Biden don’t come close to the credentials and good old boy spirit ( how stupid we were back then) that Carter brought to the table. Do the math and I challenge you, on your honor, w/o goggling it, name Carters VP.

    I see what you’re saying, but when McCain closes in the polls or takes a rare lead, many conservatives are quick to gloat on this blog. I’m certainly not saying you are one of those people.
    I am saying, a person who quotes polls can’t have it both ways.
    The people who gloat when McCain has done well in the polls, would have to honestly feel highly disappointed if McCain doesn’t take a small lead next week. He’s had his best two weeks of the campaign by far.
    Of course a lot could happen in 2 months, and the debates could change a lot of things. Lastly, I think Obama can escape the relevance of the Bradley effect. There’s never been a minority candidate with his mass appeal. I would hope that this country is beyond the Bradley effect, period. Any person who loves their country and wants a colorblind society would feel the same way.

    I understand the worthiness of bringing to light the dishonest reports concerning Gov. Palin, but I do ask, when will her political philosophy and public policy stances be discussed? Yes, expose the groups who are slandering her, but also, shouldn’t we, as responsible citizens, demand from Gov. Palin her stance on border security/illegal immigration, church vs. state, role of government, state vs. federal powers, foreign policy…?
    Sure, Fred Thompson didn’t have the same pizzazz as Gov. Palin, but he at least laid out his positions on such things. I’m beginning to believe that moreover the substance people want the “drama” and “excitement.” How else could one explain the rise of people like Sen. Obama and Gov. Palin who were virtually unknown to us just a short time ago, and, in many ways, still are unknown to us?

    Keep hoping, missy. But there will be no change to the existence of the Bradley Effect as long as some people feel they will be branded a racist if they don’t say they are voting for the black guy.

    I couldn’t care less if someone calls me a racist. That term has been so overused in the last 30 years as to render it meaningless.

    Lynching back in the day? That was racist. Not voting for someone of a different skin color because you oppose their positions? Not racist.

    This one is annoying because there’s a slight grain of truth to it. This may be the lefts first and only foray near the truth.

    Yes, Palin did ask the librarian if books could be banned because some voters had told her they were going to get some books banned and Sarah asked the Librarian if it were possible.

    And yes, Sarah did try to fire the librarian, later over different circumstances. (I know it’s shocking – Sarah is the first small town mayor that tried to relieve a substandard employee of it’s job… /sarc)

    Had these same people reported on WWII it would have gone something like:

    The US warned Japan to stay away from the Dutch East Indies oil fields. When Japan refused to do so, the US responded by nuking Nagasaki and Hiroshima, then threatened to do the same to the USSR.

    I just can’t wait to see what these imbeciles have to spring on us for their quadrennial October Surprise failure. My guess:

    SHOCKING LACK OF EVIDENCE PROVES THAT SARAH PALIN IS BIGFOOT!!!

    No it’s total BS. She didn’t try to get the books banned, she was inquiring about it because OTHER people were trying to get the books banned.

    When I drive over a bridge, I personally prefer intelligent design as opposed to unintelligent design (or especially random chance). And when there are holes in a theory about why a particular piece of metal has a certain strength after some “event” (such as heating it or bending it), as an engineer, I’d like to know about the hole in the theory so I can account for it in my use of metal. Evolution is merely a theory and it as a theory has many holes. Not teaching that there are alternative possibilities, is negligent and irresponsible. I’m sure you of all people as a student of law would argue very forecefully that if a drug company didn’t list all of the known side effects (and probably a whole host of non-known side effects too), that they would be negligent. I only ask for the same consideration.

    I’m sorry to inform you of this but AP (or was it Al Jezerra) has previously reported that an un-named source has stated that President Bush caused the accident taking Dale Earnhardt’s life. Of course the article did leave open the possibility that Bush was only the fall guy for Rove actually doing it. Cheney was in all the meetings and enlisted Newt Gingrich to help. Jesse Helms was the one to actually contact NASCAR to arrange for it. Sadly, Sarah Palin was at a snowmobile race with her husband on that day so is absolved of all guilt (although, she may have been one of the communication channels to get the message to the track).
