Is Sarah Palin a book banner?

Go to this link and read the list and the article below:

If you still believe Sarah Palin is a book banner, then you can probably also be convinced that Barack Obama is a Muslim. The fact is that asking a question in a town meeting suggests the mayor was receiving pressure from somewhere else and wanted to clarify, publically, the library's position. Since nothing else was ever done and since the Alaska Library Association states that no books have been banned in Wasilia, I'd argue the list is nothing more than what it looks like. A fabrication meant to make people who don't do their research dislike the Republican VP pick. If you need more convincing, then pay attention to the books in the list and realize that the events described regarding Palin's supposed book banning occured in 1996. That being the case, the list could not possibly include several books, especially the Harry Potter series books, the first of which was published in 1997. So, I often use Snopes.com and similar sites to confirm or reject many emails and I recommend others do the same before passing along what is obviously nothing more than a smear campaign.
