The Odd Lies Of Sarah Palin XXII: "Harry Potter", Ctd.

Alaska blog Mudflats has been digging into Palin's latest interview with ADN. Here is part of a post on Palin banning books:

The reference to Palin wanting to ban Harry Potter came from an anonymous email.  I got this email 3 or 4 times.  There was no source cited, just a long list of “controversial” books that Palin supposedly wanted banned, including not only the first five Harry Potter books (two of which weren’t even written at the time), but Lady Chatterly’s Lover, James and the Giant Peach, and everything by Judy Blume.  Not one serious news organization printed this.  So when Sarah Palin whines about bad journalism, and the media not living up to their responsibility, and when she says “it was reported,” the reporters she’s talking about are simply people who forward controversial emails without knowing if they’re true.

So what books did she want removed from shelves?  One that we know about is the book Pastor, I’m Gay by the Rev. Howard Bess.  I had the pleasure of meeting Rev. Bess, and heard the story from his own mouth.
