Workers at a Tennessee library said someone has been using blue ink to completely scratch out curse words from books in the collection.
Maury County Library director Elizabeth Potts said dozens of books have been discovered with blue ink marks where profanities used to be, including what she referred to as an “f-word” in the “9/11 Commission Report,” The Daily Herald, Columbia, Tenn., reported Tuesday.
[...]
“This person is evidently offended by these words,” she said. “I’m more offended by (the suspect).”Potts said the library doesn’t have the money to replace the books, so patrons will “have to guess what the word was.” She said workers have also put up signs asking people not to cross out curse words in the library’s books.
18. There is every reason to believe that ACORN, at the behest of the Barack Hussein Obama administration is responsible for the vandalism. Here’s how it works: First, a few innocuous swear words disappear, then any negative references to Obama start disappearing, then any negative references to Obama’s buddies start disappearing, and soon enough we live in North Korea.
#19, lol, sure.
When I was a boy, I used to go into Sears and tear the lingerie pages out of the catalogs. Just so other boys would not be tempted, you understand. I’m sure this library incident is just a similar protective measure…
NOW we have to be searched BEFORE we enter libraries..for Non-metallic devices..
I hope the person searching me is Female and LIKES searching me…I will be returning ALLOT.
25. Under the Barack Hussein Obama regime, only regular white people will subject to search. You can expect the TSA agent doing the searches to be a morbidly obese minority with the manners of a 2-year old.
The entire idea of a public library is a socialist construct, anyway. This is just another stunning example of the failure of leftist principles.
#26, StoopidAlphie,

Why does that conjure up an image of you doing the searching?
Gee, let me guess which political party this goon belonged to that would go out and vandalize because they were offended with seeing profanity?

“The entire idea of a public library is a socialist construct, anyway. This is just another stunning example of the failure of leftist principles.”
So I guess you think Benjamin Franklin was a socialist? Or are you just a troll?
Ahhh, Christians, they just can’t stand knowing that others don’t need Jesus to be happy.
#29 – I need cheeses to be happy!
#28 TJ. I vote yes, that StoopidFlanders is a troll. Perhaps it is also a construct (to use its own word) to make the “Alfie” entity look like a moderate.
Everything we know is wrong.
Found one of my own papers had been similarly marked, someone decided to write a literary criticism in ink, editing the punctuation and leaving a grade at the end of each section.
I can’t believe there are several
dickheadspeople in here that think it is OK to cross out words!For me the funniest thing about this is the end result is the opposite of what censors might wish to achieve. The US practices a lot of censorship based on moral reasons, and yet is among the most amoral nations to exist. Until I started travelling I thought everywhere was more or less the same. Then I moved to europe, wow talk about culture shock. The beaches are full of topless teenage girls, the billboards and TV commercials have full frontal nudity, the local TV stations emit uncoded hardcore porn at night. Foul language? I use it regularly on an FM radio program I’ve been doing for 15 years.
So what have we learned? If you don’t want something to be a big deal don’t make a big deal of it. DUH!
What’s not clear is exactly why these people waste so much time on such ridiculous issues…
