Go Ask Alice? That smacks of completely missing the book's point. Did she also want to ban "Just Say No" posters?

klingerbgoode beaten: yeah seriously. Beatrice Sparks was a right-wing Christian nutjob, a lot like Palin.

It appears to be an outrageous piece of media sensationalism.

Those were just hypothetical questions and that firing the next week was entirely unconnected people.
STOP THE WITCH HUNT!

waxeater It's worth noting that they completely misued the word "rhetorical." Rhetorical and hypothetical mean two completely different things.
"Palin characterized the exchange differently, initially volunteering the episode as an example of discussions with city employees about following her administration's agenda. Palin described her questions to Emmons as 'rhetorical,' noting that her questions 'were asked in the context of professionalism regarding the library policy that is in place in our city.'"

But that had nothing to do with her being fired. Obviously she WAS a witch!

I'm not even sure if this hurts Sarah Palin's image amongst the right wing.

Glad to live in Canada where our conservative government only takes away funding for artists!

Goethe and ernie Oh, but we don't say "PC liberals" here we say "THE PC BRIGADE", who are of course a subdivision of the "HEALTHY AND SAFETY NAZIS", whose funding is provided by the "EU GRAVY TRAIN". It's like a Bizarro land version of ill-informed right wing polemic!

Cleaner82 She's not mixing up anything, our political ideologies are already well-blended into a strange, troubling soup.

Quoting a pastor of a church after Palin changed churches it is a little like the Obama/Wright guilt by association thing.
Still, book banning is classical harbinger of evil.

"They can have my books when they pry them from my cold, dead fingers."
Etc.

Five stars for reminding me how doomed we are.

The very lest you could say about Palin is that she got every one interested in Alaskan politics for a brief moment in time.
