she's bad enough without bending the truth

The library thing is bad enough in the way it is stated to have taken place. (Hypothetical? loyalty test? give me a fucking break.)

This doesn't address how Palin explains not taking food groceries out of a local sales tax she wanted to hike, or her attitudes on sex ed or funding for pregnant teens (which are certainly fair targets. You can target her policies without going tabloid on her personal life).

This site also debunks some tarring of Obama.

Even if she didn't outright try to ban books, it still smells of something suspicious.

yeah, that's my feel, someone who even asks that question about withdrawing materials for 'inappropriate language' isn't well-intentioned. libraries have selection policies and you need to carry materials that interest all your patrons, not none that offend any of them.
