- sullivanst, on 09/10/2008, -0/+10FTA: Palin's church at the time, the Assembly of God, had been pushing for the removal a book called "Pastor I Am Gay" from local bookstores, according to the book's author Pastor Howard Bess, of the Church of the Covenant in nearby Palmer, Alaska.
"And she was one of them," said Bess, "this whole thing of controlling information, censorship, that's part of the scene," said Bess. - JenniferInMO, on 09/10/2008, -0/+6This is probably the most up-to-date, comprehensive and accurate report. It is consistent with what snopes.com and factcheck.org have determined. This is pretty dark ages stuff, not the actions of someone who says she can lead us forward. That being said, this is just another bit of evidence which supports the fact that McCain would rather win an election than put his country first. He has exercised bad judgment on this pick and the poor management after the fact, e.g. hiding her from the press, accusing the press of beating up on this poor little girl, and turning her into a lie factory.
I have had ENOUGH! This is about McCain and Obama.
ALL OF US NEED TO PITCH IN NOW:
Check your voter registration now. Some people are falling off the rolls for various reasons: https://www.voteforchange.com/ Make sure your friends and family are registered too.
Donate what you can as often as you can. Help me to meet my grassroots fundraising goal: http://my.barackobama.com/page/outreach/view/main/ ... Donate to the Senators fighting tough, well funded battles: http://www.dscc.org/ Go to the action center and help by making calls (you can even do it from home!), canvass, help with voter registration, or do any of the many other things you can help: http://my.barackobama.com/page/content/actioncente ... Just do something every day, even if it's something little. We are running out of time to help change the direction of this country.
NOT 4 MORE OF THE LAST 8 YEARS!
Digg this story up to get the truth out, but let's move on to fixing our very broken country. - MadMeninc, on 09/10/2008, -0/+6Even the fact she asked some one how she can ban books shoulod keep her out of the White House.
- psy333che, on 09/10/2008, -0/+5Oh Yes she did.. I read that a while ago about her and I also believe she either fired or tried to fore the Liberian
Such an honest woman and a great VP she would be denyi ng us our rights and placing us within her religious fears to control us.... - xChrisK, on 09/11/2008, -0/+2We can not allow our libraries to be censored. It is a huge step towards fascism.
People should be very wary of Palin she has proven in just a week that she is full of lies. It's pretty sad when you have to fact check anything that comes out of a presidential and vice presidents mouth because they lie so frequently.
What is even worse is that people are falling for it. - littlequeenie, on 09/11/2008, -0/+1I am starting to fear that a McCain/Palin presidency could even be worse than the previous 8 years. I NEVER thought that would be possible.
