Where's your proof on the books?

An idiot with a snide view of the rest of the readers. *You insinuate
Palin banned those books and then say they have all been banned at one
time or the other in the USA. *Maybe it was Obama that banned them.


If you chose to infer from Cliff's post that he was insinuating
something, that was up to you. He merely posted a list of books which
have been banned in the US, in the past, many of which may well be on
Palin's own personal list of books to ban. Incidentally, I've read (and
own) a bunch of them.



Seriously though, banned by "who"? No one has the right to ban any
book.
the American Library Association, will not carry some books, but
usually for political correct material. "Blubber" was challanged, (or
"banned" as the OP would like you to think) because it contained
racial slur's

A lot of modern classics are challenged ( or "banned" as the OP would
like you to believe) because they have sexual connotations, violence
etc.and are classified as inappropriate "for certain age groups".

there's nothing on that list that a person couldn't read at any time
since they were published. That is, unless you looked for it in a
local public library, and even then that is questionable.


BTW, I don't think that "righties" control the American Library Assn.
