Tom, thanks for the back-up. Gary, I hadn't read Saundra's post correcting my post. So, my guess is that I got it wrong, at least partially, and that I shouldn't have forwarded an email without verifying it. <br><br>My bad. For which I apologize. <br><br>Keely<br>http://keely-prevailingwinds.blogspot.com/<br><br><br><hr>From: jampot@roadrunner.com<br>To: idahotom@hotmail.com; kjajmix1@msn.com; vision2020@moscow.com<br>Subject: Re: [Vision2020] Palin and book banning<br>Date: Mon, 8 Sep 2008 07:08:15 -0700<br><br>

<div><font face="Arial">Why is it not surprising that you would find a rumor that
somebody's husband's cousin heard somewhere to be more authoritative then a blog
that expresses skepticism and the use of common sense and actually cites the
original article on the subject from the Wasilla paper? Mrs. Lund has
already pointed out how at least a portion of the husband's cousin's rumor is in
error by noting that at least three of the books on the list hadn't been
published when Palin was the mayor and the newspaper article makes it clear that
no books what so ever were specifically discussed. Is it easier to run
with pre-conceived notions than it is to entertain pesky facts?</font></div>

<div><br></div>Keely stated:<br> <br>"I would not knowingly pass along
false information, and if this is not a true story -- if it's not an accurate
account of any attempts, if there are any, of Palin's attempts to take certain
titles off the shelves -- then I shouldn't have posted it. Dale Courtney
says it's false. I don't know. But if someone out there can
demonstrate to me that what I passed along was, in fact, false, then I
apologize now and will again.<br> <br>The authority cited by Dale
Courtney, in repudiating Keely's claim, is a blog (that's right, a blog)
