1. I'm pretty sure this is fake

Palin never mentioned any specific book. We don't need to spread false rumors, when the truth is just as damaging.

2. Yes

It is fake. But who gives a shit. They make up stuff like BO is a Muslim. I don't care anymore. Do whatever it takes to win.

8. That's a big list

Doesn't matter what their ideology is, if they are book banners, they are un-american and shouldn't be allowed to hold any office.

11. What part of that list is a fake don't people understand?

Some of the books on the list weren't even published at the time Palin purportedly wanted to ban them.

Is DU stuck on stupid?

9. Debunked already

No need to spread disinformation. There is plenty of real dirt on Mrs P

took place. FAKE
