Librarians Against Palin Blog Emerges, Plus a Response from WasillaSeptember 5, 2008
A new blog set up by anonymous sponsors, Librarians Against Palin, is set up by a Sarah Palin opponent who asserts that the vice-presidential candidate, when Mayor of Wasilla, AK, attempted to fire the library director when she "would not ban books without going through the formal book challenging process." I haven't seen any solid evidence of that, so it's unclear whether Palin was having a "theoretical" discussion, as she was reported to have said, or was putting undue pressure on library director Mary Ellen Emmons.

In response to: Librarians Against Palin Blog Emerges, Plus a Response from Wasilla Mary commented: Its amazing to me that this sort of thing can be used now to smear a candidate. Not a single book was banned. Is it wrong for someone now to 'ask' about the book challenging/banning procedure? Palin has been convicted by internet nonsense--by librarians? Wow-- Free Speech eh?

In response to: Librarians Against Palin Blog Emerges, Plus a Response from Wasilla Jen commented: Hmm. . . Mary, it is not wrong for someone to ask about book banning policies (in fact, it was the responsible thing to do as the mayor), however it is wrong to push for the resignation of an information professional who is against book banning. Because of the librarian's professional beliefs she was harassed by Palin to resign.
