Is this a respectable source?

Stein says that as mayor, Palin continued to inject religious beliefs into her policy at times. "She asked the library how she could go about banning books," he says, because some voters thought they had inappropriate language in them. "The librarian was aghast." That woman, Mary Ellen Baker, couldn't be reached for comment, but news reports from the time show that Palin had threatened to fire Baker for not giving "full support" to the mayor.

Censorship is pretty elitist, don't you think? Granted, she wasn't able to pull it off, so I guess that doesn't count... |
Minor quibble, but Palin did fire the librarian, but backtracked after there was a big outcry in Wasilla over it.
