Banned Book - Bunny Suicides

 The book is f-ing hilarious in that glorious way black humor is. The fact that one parent thinks she can decide for a community what will be on its library shelf is maddening.

Because We Don't Need It...
monstersmom
by monstersmom  10-9-2008    1
 We don’t need more debts. Palin spent 15 million on a new sports center in the valley, leaving the small town of Wasilla, Alaska in debt to the amount of 22 million. (That’s 22 million more than the debt she took on when taking on this lovely playtime as mayor.) We don’t need family feuds interfering with duties. I know you feel your ex-brother-in-law was a dick… but trying to get him fired...Sarah? We don’t need another vote against gay marriage. This is just standard every day equal rights being overlooked. Sarah Palin disagrees. We don’t need to overlook global warming. Science can now tell us "Yup. That is happening.” Not my words, that is science speak. Sarah Palin disagrees.

Intolerance on the Left
sillysam
by sillysam  9-17-2008    6
 If book banning is such a life-and-death issue to these celebrity foot soldiers for free speech, where were they four years ago when John Kerry and his rabid minions were pressuring Regnery Publishing to withdraw Unfit for Command from bookstores? Where were they when members of the Borders Books Employee Union were openly advocating sabotaging book sales? A message on the union’s members-only website urged: You guys don’t actually HAVE to sell the thing! Just “carelessly” hide the boxes, “accidentally” drop them off pallets, “forget” to stock the ones you have, and then suggest a nice Al Franken or Michael Moore book as a substitute . . . I don’t care if these Neandertals (sic) in fancy suits get mad at me, they aren’t regular customers anyway. Other than “Left Behind” books, they don’t read. Anything you can do to make them feel unwelcome is only fair. They are the people pushing retailers to cut costs, don’t forget. And they would censor your speech, your books,

 Dems and Repubs and Indies can agree that these allegations are neither true nor helpful. Further, McCain and campaign conflate the false charges of kooks with the serious questions about Palin's qualifications, and declare them all out of bounds. Not so fast ...

False Internet Claims And Rumors Debunked: FactCheck.org
merrie
by merrie  9-9-2008    1
 A few of these claims were included in a chain e-mail by a woman named Anne Kilkenny. We'll be looking into other charges in that e-mail for a future story. For more explanation of the bullet points above, please read the Analysis. CNN's Soledad O'Brien made the claim on Sept. 4 Palin slashed the special education budget: She tripled the funding per-pupil. One false rumor accuses then-Mayor Palin of threatening to fire Wasilla’s librarian for refusing to ban books from the town library. Some versions of the rumor come complete with a list of the books that Palin allegedly attempted to ban. The story is false on several fronts: Palin was never a member of the Alaskan Independence Party – which calls for a vote on whether Alaska should secede from the union or remain a state – despite mistaken reports to the contrary. But her husband was a member for years, and she attended at least one party convention, as mayor of the town in which it was held.

Democrat Attacks on Palin Proven False
hlimjr
by hlimjr  9-8-2008    4
 Virtually every one of these lies was reported by a major news organization without being properly verified. Meanwhile, no mainstream news organization has assigned investigative resources to uncovering Hussein Obama's radical activities in Hawaii and Chicago. The American people have less than sixty days to find out the truth about the kind of man the liberal media is trying to sneak into the White House.

 I am a big fan of Rick Riordan's books and I started reading his blog. But with the upcoming release of the Golden Compass movie and reading a lot of list-serv and articles on how people should boycott the movie and also because of banned books week that passed a few months ago and because I'm a librarian, I thought Riordan summed it up nicely. Ten years after the fact & now people are boycotting it?

 I'm amazed that this hasn't raised more stink in regards to freedom of speech. Yes, current Justice department policy is to not prosecute, but that is the flimsiest of protections available. Most likely, should it go to the Supreme Court, it would be thrown out, but how many years of untold legal expenses would that be? It certainly retains its power to harass.

 Remember, this book was published 12 years ago. In all that time the Catholic Church, wonder upon wonders, has managed to survive this grave risk to complete and utter destruction. And as far as I know there have been no reported cases of anyone being corrupted by this evil tome of Satan. Once the movie based on the book was announced the religious whinnying began. Their claims seem to indicate that the movie will be the end of civilization as we know it. Welcome to the "Hyperbole Zone". I for one am not surprised.

Patron Removes Kids' Sex Book From Library--PW, 9/07
readforpleasure
by readforpleasure  9-22-2007   
 Karkos could have challenged the book through a formal process within the library and its board--and thus allowed the community to participate in deciding the fate of the book. Instead, she took it into her own hands to decide for everyone what is moral and what books should be available. By holding every copy of the book, she prevents anyone else from reading it and forming their own opinions. Regardless of the content of the book, Karkos' actions fly in the face of civil society and its crucial community aspects.
