Keeping it classy as usual. Of course, if you deface the book, you buy it, giving the authors your money.

Palin books defaced. Hmmmm. If that's happening, I wonder how many times she's been written about in toilet stalls....

This really hits home for me. I've been to the local Target store a couple times in the last few weeks and it takes every ounce of my will not to pull out a sharpie and draw a c*ck and b*lls on the cover of Sarah Palin's new book when I walk past that isle. It just seems to demand it some how.

This is the kind of news I like. But yes, wow, four whole copies at the "international" airport in Indianapolis. Major news HP. Oh but maybe because it's got her name in it, that's why it should be here.

Yeah, the story went from slightly funny to sad and pathetic when they mentioned the quantity vandalized.

because she's got creepers

Gran Met: intermedia­ry between the living and the dead. Priestess. I'd gone to St. Louis Cemetery No. 1 and watched as tourists with cameras hanging from their necks scratched three Xs on Marie Laveau’s crumbling tomb. Mold and soot attached to the stucco encasement no matter how often it was cleaned. Admirers and sycophants cluttered the area with tokens, most of them trinkets that symbolized appeals for a better life. I heard children laughing, a sonorous but faraway tinkling, like a bewitched wind chime. There are times when we scoff at what we perceive as the irrational­, brushing away stentorian alarms; and we pay dearly for that foolish act. I'd done that most of my life; hushing the voices that begged for validation­, closing my eyes to the pulsating shapes that followed me. I surveyed the gaggle of tourists on that now far away day; no children. Gran Met with two souls, one the gros bon ange which gives her the will to live and survive and connects her to the living and should she wish, if good works are done, she may return, I guess be reincarnat­ed, for a better life. Soul number two: Our personalit­y, the face we see in the mirror, our earthly essence: ti bon ange. I walked away shaking my head and thinking perhaps it was time I paid another visit to the department­’s psychiatri­st. Better a voodoo princess than the Madwoman of New Orleans.

If I saw a book by some neo-n.@z.i espousing ra.sc.ist cr.ap in a book store, I'd tr.ash it, too. The First Amendment protects free speech, it does not give people a right to push ha.tef.ul ideas in front of our eyes when we go to buy a copy of the Nation at Bor.ders. What is the intellectual difference between Palin and Gl.eet Beck's books and por.nogr.aphy? None. If 20 million of us went and drew mustaches on Palin's covers all over America, that would be a statement.

Local Wal Mart always has any book not on the right side of the political spectrum turned backwards.

Never could figure how the carried so many different Bibles, not to mention all the goofy God is coming tomorrow trash.

wow, destruction of property is OK for liberals...

They're not pushing any ideas onto you. That's why there is more than 1 book in a bookstore...

you don't like it, (in your case at least), the socialist section is pretty close...

If someone were to destroy/deface an Obama book I'd bet there would be an outrage.

But sense you don't agree, It is OK

by naming her book 'America by Heart' does it mean that we should remember all the major highways that get us coast to coast?

[jcinco]

02:51 PM on 12/06/2010

No, I think she meant she had the spelling of the word "America" memorized, and therefore knew it by heart & didn't need to write it on her hand.

Lousy proof reading, she meant Amerikka.

I'm sure the person or persons who committed this horrible horrible crime feels so broken up and guilty over it....sure they do...wouldn't you?

[jcinco]

they'll probably call the local FBI soon and confess rather than bear the burden of guilt any longer.

Sometimes a person comes along that makes you wonder if the 1st amendment isn't pretty inconvenient. Sometimes two or more. If there were a way to hush them without ruining that right for everyone else, would we do it?
