Did raunchydog say that was a smear? I don't believe so. I'd guess she's talking about smears like the list of books that Palin allegedly banned when she was mayor of Wasilla. Actually it's a list of all the books that have been banned in the U.S. at one time or another, a number of them published well after Palin was mayor. I received that one from my best friend, who got it from a minister of her acquaintance, who got it from someone at UCLA, all of whom accepted it without question as accurate. (Palin didn't ban any books; she merely asked the librarian how she would react if she were asked to remove books. Nor did Palin threaten to fire the librarian for not being willing to do so.)
