The latest Palin smear is a bogus allegation that she tried to ban a long list of books. Some of the books she supposedly tried to ban weren’t even published yet when the supposed banning took place.
It is also being said that the allegation is being circulated by the Obama campaign. That’s not quite fair. The allegation was merely being circulated on the Obama campaign website. For some reason, the Obama campaign decided to make their website into a miniature Daily Kos and let anyone post there. Predictably, their lack of control has resulted in Kos-style smear material appearing there. So it’s fair to say that the Obama campaign paid for the smear and gave it a home, but didn’t actually authorize it.
