Palin fires librarian in attempt to ban books
http://www.nytimes.com/2008/09/03/us...03wasilla.html
Quote:
And for some, Ms. Palin’s first months in office here were so jarring — and so alienating — that an effort was made to force a recall. About 100 people attended a meeting to discuss the effort, which was covered in the local press, but the idea was dropped.
Shortly after becoming mayor, former city officials and Wasilla residents said, Ms. Palin approached the town librarian about the possibility of banning some books, though she never followed through and it was unclear which books or passages were in question.
Ann Kilkenny, a Democrat who said she attended every City Council meeting in Ms. Palin’s first year in office, said Ms. Palin brought up the idea of banning some books at one meeting. “They were somehow morally or socially objectionable to her,” Ms. Kilkenny said.
The librarian, Mary Ellen Emmons, pledged to “resist all efforts at censorship,” Ms. Kilkenny recalled. Ms. Palin fired Ms. Emmons shortly after taking office but changed course after residents made a strong show of support. Ms. Emmons, who left her job and Wasilla a couple of years later, declined to comment for this article.

Palin is evil, right?
Weird.. like Trooper Wooten..IF Emmons was Fired, she still had her job two years later. Wooten Still has his.
It seems as if Palin is acceptable to compromise, and that is a good thing.

Could there have been a more predictable reply? LMAO... Did you really think Fox would pick this up? Moron...
It's been fact checked, it happened, and it's just another piece of shit on the growing pile illustrating her inability to govern in the interest of the People. We don't need another tard cramming their morals down our throats.
