OBAMA releases Gestapo thugs on NRA

Obama is an old-fashioned Stalinist.

In this letter, http://abcnews.go.com/images/Politics/Obama%20for%20America%20Letter%20re%20NRA%20Ad3.pdf sent to TV stations from Obama campaign general counsel Bob Bauer, the Obama campaign, once again, attempts to intimidate television station managers from airing a TV ad http://blogs.abcnews.com/politicalpunch/2008/09/nra-firing-away.html  by the National Rifle Association.

Bauer argues, "Unlike federal candidates, independent political organizations do not have a 'right to command the use of broadcast facilities.'  Moreover, you have a duty 'to protect the public from false, misleading or deceptive advertising.'  We request that you immediately cease airing this advertising."

The Obama campaign takes issue with an ad called "Hunter," pointing out that claims in the ad were called "false" by Factcheck.org, and were given three Pinocchios by the Washington Post's "Factchecker."

In response, Cleta Mitchell, Counsel to the NRA, fired back in a letter to station managers that the fact checkers in this case are wrong.

"We respectfully request that your station disregard the shamefully false assertions from the Obama campaign and its attorneys," Mitchell writes.  You can read more of Mitchell's letter at the blog http://www.politico.com/blogs/bensmith/0908/Obama_seeks_to_take_down_NRA_ad.html?showall of Ben Smith of Politico, who reprinted it in full.

Political speech is absolute.  This is another attempt by Obama's NKVD http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NKVD to deny Americans their 1st Amendment "free expression" rights.  As you read down the page you will see other instances of intimidation by Obama's NKVD.  This is obviously a formal tactic of his campaign.

Just imagine what these people would do with the full force of the Department of Justice behind them.

Obama's assault on free speech reminds me of how Islam deals with speech it does not like: "Behead Those Who Insult The Prophet."

As an aside, the "lawyer letter" is on Obama Campaign stationary.  Obama's name in the letterhead is quite large.  One can hardly read Biden's name.


 


This in addition to trying to establish a police state in Missouri:


Gov. Matt Blunt today issued http://governor.mo.gov/cgi-bin/coranto/viewnews.cgi?id=EkkkVFulkpOzXqGMaj&style=Default+News+Style&tmpl=newsitemthe following statement on news reports that have exposed plans by U.S. Senator Barack Obama to use Missouri law enforcement to threaten and intimidate his critics.

"St. Louis County Circuit Attorney Bob McCulloch, St. Louis City Circuit Attorney Jennifer Joyce, Jefferson County Sheriff Glenn Boyer, and Obama and the leader of his Missouri campaign Senator Claire McCaskill have attached the stench of police state tactics to the Obama-Biden campaign."

"What Senator Obama and his helpers are doing is scandalous beyond words, the party that claims to be the party of Thomas Jefferson is abusing the justice system and offices of public trust to silence political criticism with threats of prosecution and criminal punishment.

"This abuse of the law for intimidation insults the most sacred principles and ideals of Jefferson.  I can think of nothing more offensive to Jefferson’s thinking than using the power of the state to deprive Americans of their civil rights.  The only conceivable purpose of Messrs. McCulloch, Obama and the others is to frighten people away from expressing themselves, to chill free and open debate, to suppress support and donations to conservative organizations targeted by this anti-civil rights, to strangle criticism of Mr. Obama, to suppress ads about his support of higher taxes, and to choke out criticism on television, radio, the Internet, blogs, e-mail and daily conversation about the election.

"Barack Obama needs to grow up.  Leftist blogs and others in the press constantly say false things about me and my family.  Usually, we ignore false and scurrilous accusations because the purveyors have no credibility.  When necessary, we refute them. Enlisting Missouri law enforcement to intimidate people and kill free debate is reminiscent of the Sedition Acts -- not a free society."

One of the most blatant lies ever to come from a politician's mouth," is how the Illinois State Rifle Association (ISRA) is characterizing

Lemme give the Cliff's Notes version of this, here:

  1. NRA releases lie-filled ad, which misstates facts to make anti-Obama points

  2. Obama campaign sends letters to TV stations reminding them that, unlike actual candidates for office, the stations' duty as caretaker of a portion of the public airwaves does not extend to allowing any airtime to private organizations with agendas - especially when their messages are demonstrably false, as demonstrated by more than one independent fact-checking organization

  3. NRA begins collective whining rivaling a day-care center at naptime, flatulently bloviating that the stations should be ashamed for even ENTERTAINING the letter from the Obama campaign, with all its "facts" and "independent verification" and "weight of precedent," and concludes by dredging up the ghost of Stalin to impugn the Obama campaign with the specter of a man who utilized millions of the very product which is the sole reason for the NRA's existence, to enforce its thuggish totalitarianism.


Irony. It's what's for dinner.



Riot act - you can read me the riot act

You can make me a matter of fact

Or a villain in a million

A slip of the tongue is gonna keep me civilian



Why do you talk such stupid nonsense

When my mind could rest much easier

Instead of all this dumb, dumb insolence

I would be happier with amnesia

You're very welcome. Glad you got a smile out of it.



Ma, whenever ya see a cop beatin' a guy

Wherever a hungry new born baby cries

Wherever there's a fight against the blood and hatred in the air

Look for me ma'

I'll be there

Wherever somebody's strugglin' for a place to stand

For a decent job or a helpin' hand

Wherever somebody is strugglin' to be free

Look in their eyes ma,

You'll see me!

That's funny as heck, a politician and his staff complaining that a group which doesn't look upon them favorably shouldn't be allowed to air information which
