Those wishing to see former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin during her visit to Norman on Thursday will need to follow specific procedures.
Palin will visit Hastings Books, 2300 W. Main St., Thursday afternoon as part of her “Going Rogue” book signing tour.
There are 10 rules people must abide by if they want to have a signed copy of Palin’s latest book “Going Rogue,” Hastings shift manager Keith Watkins said.
“All copies of ‘Going Rogue’ are limited to Gov. Palin’s signature only,” a message sent by Hastings stated.
There will be no personalizations of the book, and only two signed copies are permitted per person per wristband, the message stated.
The message stated no memorabilia or additional items will be signed, and only copies of “Going Rogue” that were purchased at Hastings will be signed; they will be checking receipts.
“Cameras are allowed but not in close proximity to the signing area. No photos while at [the] signing table,” the message stated. “No ‘carry items’ other than copies of ‘Going Rogue’ will be permitted in the signing area. Please leave any bags, purses, etc. in your car, or be prepared to check them in the Hastings bag-check area inside the store.”
The message stated only attendees with authorized books will be permitted in line to see Palin, and those in line must have a wristband.
“Wristbands will be given at the beginning of the Hastings business day at 6:30 a.m.,” the message stated. “The first 1,000 wristbands will be guaranteed a signature.”
Anyone wishing to leave gifts for Palin should give them to the Hastings staff to be delivered to Palin at the end of the event, the message stated.

HAHA, oh, Sarah. It's good to know that I can bring a gift for her!

It is emblematic of the incivility, anger and bitterness of Palin’s liberal detractors. If allowed to simply walk up to her, too many left-wingers, would try to harm her physically, even here. Liberal icons, such as Allen Ginsburg, Michael Moore, and Angelia Davis, can make public visits to Norman at complete ease. But the potential for violence is too great from even the relatively small number of liberals in this state. Despite liberal's claims of tolerance and open mindedness, security experts know better.

Sarah Palin is really living up to her reputation. She is mastering the art of quitting, even before she begins. Though the first 1000 worshippers with wristbands were promised signatures, thousands waited in the bitter cold. Wristbands were not given out at 6:30, the elderly, children, and even service members were turned away, as only 500 wristbands were given out. The store manager said this was coming from Sarah, at the last minute.
It seems Sarah is so exciting, so unpredictable, even she doesn't know what she is going to do, on the day she is supposed to do it. We are the only state that carried Palin, after a lapse of reason after voting for Hillary in the primary. Why couldn't Palin keep her word in the state that believes she is "down to earth", "real" and even saint-like.
Hell, it's not like she has a job that is preventing her from signing her laughable memoir. Sarah, as usual, is in this for Sarah, and damned be her publis. A lot of Brash, a lot of Trash, and very, very little substance. Bristol quit high-school, Sarah quit Alaska, Todd quit BP, and Levi "pulled out" of frontal nudity for Playgirl.
How in the world are these people role models? The most compelling argument I have heard for supporting Sarah can be paraphrased as "We like her, she's dumb like us."
Go Sarah!
Remember, this show is completely Sarah's and if she disregards her sea of white evangelical fanatics on one of her fan days, imagine how unavailable she would be to all Americans in a leadership role....

'If allowed to simply walk up to her, too many left-wingers, would try to harm her physically'
Yes, because liberals carry knives and guns everywhere they go to hunt, harm and kill right-wingers. The liberals killed George W. Bush, Dick Cheney and Sally Kern. and now they are coming for Palin.
'Liberal icons, such as Allen Ginsburg, Michael Moore, and Angelia Davis, can make public visits to Norman at complete ease.'
You forgot to add Richard Dawkins, who could make a visit to OU without the right-wingers trying to ban him and whose visit wasn't 'investigated' at all.
Dumbass!
