Threats to Missourians who dare to oppose Obama

Posted by David Hardy · 26 September 2008 10:59 AM

Video here.

Gist is that an "Obama Truth Squad" (using that title) is being organized, specifically composed of prosecutors and sheriffs, to respond immediately to any ads or "statements" that might violate Missouri ethics laws.

I can see nothing wrong with a squad that rebuts the other side or lays out its version of the truth. But word that an organization of police and prosecutors is going to go after opponents of a candidate, and see if they can nail them under state law (when they haven't spoken yet) is simply and crudely an attempt to chill free speech.

Constitution? What Constitution. Obama will shred your rights -- Starting with the Second Amendment and then the First Amendment and then ...

Who made those people the arbitrators of political speech and why do they sound like a campaign ad for Obama?

Obama Truth Squad = Obama Goon Squad

It's the 'Chicago Way' of politics

If this is about the Truth being told(and nothing more), can't imagine why anyone would get upset about it. With today's negative campaigning, this looks like a good idea.... Just wish Obama would come out and tell the truth about his real intentions on OUR second amendment.
