Thread Name: BS: Alaska gov. Palin and banned books
Subject: RE: BS: Palin did have a meeting about book ban
"The very fact that she, as a person of authority, is asking the librarian the question amounts to an abuse of power, and a use of intimidation, under any reasonable interpretation currently being used."

If a reporter asks the same question, is it also an abuse of power?    While I do not condone her questions, this is nothing unusual - a question that you would hear on a job interview.

I'm not defending her actions, but I do think if we are going to question her motives, we need to question our own. Are we looking for an easy reason to attack her?
