More on the Palin vs Librarian SCANDAL

This is excerpted from a blog post I found. Here's the breadcrumb trail of blogs:
librarian.net linked to Librarians Against Palin (and Librarians for Palin) which linked to
http://jdrhoades.blogspot.com/2008/09/guest-blogger-tess-gerritsen.html, which is where I got this quote from the Frontiersman:

The Frontiersman, the Alaska newspaper covering Wasilla, has provided an article from its 1996 archives detailing the clash. And here's what Ms. Emmons said at the time:
"I'm not trying to suppress anyone's views," Emmons said. "But I told her (Palin clearly, I will fight anyone who tries to dictate what books can go on the library shelves."
Palin said Monday she had no particular books or other material in mind when she posed the questions to Emmons...
But on Monday, Oct. 28, Emmons said Palin asked her outright if she could live with censorship of library books. This was during a week when Palin was requesting resignations from all the city's department heads as a way of expressing loyalty...
Emmons recalled that (during) the Oct. 28 conversation she pulled no punches with her response to the mayor. "She asked me if I would object to censorship, and I replied 'Yup,'" Emmons recounted Saturday. "And I told her it would not be just me. This was a constitutional question, and the American Civil Liberties Union would get involved, too."

The author of the post I was reading this excerpt from also went to say:

This is more than a story about one librarian's heroism. It's also a story that should give every writer, every publisher, every reader, a chill up the spine. Since when do mayors dictate which books are in their town libraries? Since when do public officials in our America believe that banning books is a politician's prerogative? What sort of control freak even considers such a demand appropriate? What else would such a person choose to censor? Newspapers that disagree with her? Scientists whose studies don't align with her beliefs? Government officials whose facts and figures make her look bad? And if those government officials insist on doing their jobs and standing by the facts, will they too be fired?

Excellent questions. Excellent questions. And now that Palin has said she's go to war with Russia (um, you know they have nuclear weapons, right?) here's hoping more and more people notice the empress's missing clothes.
