I'm allowed to use my judgment and to state forcefully that something is offensive, horrible, and unworthy of ever seeing the light of day. And if that persuades other people to avoid it, so much the better.

Here is the thing. I understand this is just your opinion but let me tell you how I interpreted your post.
Your first paragraph would totally make me want to buy that book, because you are trying to dictate what everyone else should read.. You sound like those people that tried to kidnap me because my mother had read a book.
On the second paragraph, the more forcefully you state something, the more likely it is to backfire.
Here are 3 examples: The Exorcist, 50 shades of grey and the Da Vinci Code.
All had very loud distractors. All were best sellers.
It is better to state quietly. I can't say I have ever found a book I thought shouldn't be published. I take that back, I did find one. It was self-published. It is also no longer for sale because the author did take it down. It did fit your description in more ways than one.
As far as main stream books, I can't say I have found any.
