[From Larry Johnson--This is outrageous. I've moved Uppity's story back up in the queue. Just imagine how outraged the so-called fucking progressives would be in George Bush tried a stunt like this. Wrong is wrong regardless of party.]
No kidding folks. This is happening right here in what is left of Democracy in America. It seems that Barack I Love FISA Obama is practicing for his Planned borderline Communist government in Missouri–or so he thinks.
I was nearly speechless when I saw the video below. What a freaking thug Barack Obama truly is. We are worried about his Marxist Socialist pals? This is down righta Communist behavior! No wonder Putin and N. Korea’s “Dear Leader” think he’s swell. No wonder every whackjob failed fringe anti-democracy, anti-capitalism party from the 60s loves him.
The threat?: If somebody in Missouri does an Ad that Barack Obama deems “A Lie,” then the sheriff and the State Prosecutor are coming for you. And as we all know, when it comes to Barack Obama, EVERYTHING ANYBODY says is “A Lie,” even if it’s true.
See the Video first and let your jaw drop. Then see Governor Blunt’s horrified and disgusted press release.
This is happening right here in the United States of America, compliments of Obama and his goon squad. Be afraid. Be very afraid.
THE TRUTH SQUAD COMETH FOR YOU!
Simply. Amazing. Isn’t it? Well the Governor of Missouri thought so too. He issued this totally pissed-off press release, exposing Barack Obama and his sycophants for the childish, malicious Neo Liberal Radical Communist thugs they are.
This is one brutal press release for one brutal, deserving Chicago-Thug candidate. Bravo, Governor Blunt. You just said what we all think:
Gov. Blunt Statement on Obama Campaign’s Abusive Use of Missouri Law Enforcement
JEFFERSON CITY – Gov. Matt Blunt today issued the 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.”
I’m telling you folks. Take Heed. Barack Obama has VERY little interest in Democracy. If he is pulling this kind of thing now, imagine a Presidency under this gangster.
If there was any doubt that Obama and his minions are Anti-American Marxists check this out

Ladies & gentlemen Pleade let this go viral.
This video made good use of the video footage above. It’s a shame that only people on the internet know what’s going on.
Obama threatens news organizations, now public (non-partisan) officials are carrying the water and few people know.
Thanks, Jeremiah.
I originally learned about this from a bottom-of-the-screen scroll on Fox News on Saturday but I didn’t hear them actually report in on their newscasts. Will the MSM even cover this? We should all e-mail all cable and major news outlets to make suer that they do.

They also said something about how these truth squads were in effect during the Primary to counteract Hillary’s lies about BO.
been to office training camp?
Welcome Back Jeremiah GD Wright.
There is nothing about this that surprises me. Absolutely nothing. This is nothing short of a communist Putsch, and they will indeed want to be locking all of us up. North Korea Soviet Union and China is what is on the Horizon for us.
Hi everyone at 10:15 am on Fox, they are doing another report on voter fraud. Every weekend Eric Shaw is reporting on voter fraud in this election and ACORN. At 10:15 this morning he is going to do another report and read e-mails from witnesses of the fraud.
e-mail your stories to voterfraud@foxnews.com
Fox is covering voter fraud/ACORN right now too.
Fox exposing BILL AYERS soon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And they want to give 20% of the $700 billion to Acorn; Give me a break.
http://governor.mo.gov/constituentform.htm
I have gone to this site and thank the Missouri Governor for standing up for our First Amendment rights. Please do so as well.
Snickers,
Thank you for putting up the address to write to Blunt. I just did it. I will always remember him for this, and will happily contribute to any of his campaigns in the future.
I sent him a message and thanked him for standing up for America she needs all support she can get right now..
Please turn off the caps key and tone down the hysteria. No one has you on a hit list and no one is even remotely interested in dragging you off to a concentration camp.
I’m no fan of Obama, but this wild overkill is ridiculous.
Give your grey cells & typing fingers a holiday.
I’ve already asked this same thing, to no avail.
This is vital information about the Obama mindset, but the hysteria is distracting.
I think the Jeremiah character thinks he’s “cute” and that BREAKING BREAKING BREAKING !!!!!! crap is some kind of signature look for him.
Incidentally, his post was not breaking, since I’d seen it elsewhere first.
I do applaud NoQuarter for keeping this topic front and center, but the all caps hysteria from some posters could be toned down a notch.
The governor should launch a probe and ask anyone involved with this outrageous assault on civil liberties to resign.
I agree 100%. This is plainly illegal! A campaign cannot use local law enforcment as intimidators.
All should resign (they broke the public trust) or be fired, demoted, and punished.
I do here that Obama has launched this in afew other states.
From the Fox scroll yesterday it indicated that he began this against Hillary but I don’t know if it involved law enforcement.
Obama has picked the wrong battle by picking on the NRA. He is not going to win this one.
I WROTE TO GOV. BLUNT THANKING HIM FOR PAYING ATTENTION TO THIS NAZI-STYLE INIMIDATION…I SURE HOPE HE TAKES IT TO THE NEXT LEVEL AND PROSECUTES THOSE WHO THOUGHT THEY WERE GOIN GTO DO THE PROSECUTING AND ARRESTING!!
He might if he knows America is watching and supports him..and I pray he does.
Great screen name! Wish I’d thouht of that. Who were you here before?

TRUTH SQUADS moving into NC, OH, PA, VA, MI
The governor’s statement is fine but will be dismissed as a partisan attack. We need the Missouri AG to open an investigation, get subpoena power and depose Obama. Then there is a story the msm can’t ignore
You want to bet? The MSM can ignore ANY negative Obama story and has many times! Nothing would surprise me now.
You know, I thought I was moving beyond surprise, but this startling video made my jaw drop. Oh God, the Messiah’s versions of the Gestapo and the Hitlerjugend are already taking shape, getting warmed up for action. And to think that the last person between The Precious and The Presidency is a 72 year old man who has been tortured so badly he cannot raise his arms above his shoulders.
It couldn’t happen here? But it is. This is truly unreal.
“And to think that the last person between The Precious and The Presidency is a 72 year old man who has been tortured so badly he cannot raise his arms above his shoulders.”
I’m glad it’s him – the guy is one tough SOB.
I do fear for his safety though – Obama’s rise seems “Macbethian” to me – he likes to do away with competition.
Object: ACORN
Sign: Talk of a civilian national security force as strong, powerful, and well-funded as the military.
Interpretation: Eventual equation.
I think big ears needs a little painted mustache… …
Agreed. There should be an official investigation ordered by the state so this story can go nationwide.
Fox had it, I think, today.
It is spreading to OH, PA, VA and NC
Call Governors and DEMAND these organizations be prosecuted under Federal Statutes!
From Iron Man, Previous Thread:
f this allegation is true, Barack Obama needs to do more than grow up. Governor Blunt said explicitly that “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 U.S. Code (Title 18, Crimes) has a specific name for this.
TITLE 18 > PART I > CHAPTER 13 > § 241
§ 241. Conspiracy against rights
If two or more persons conspire to injure, oppress, threaten, or intimidate any person in any State, Territory, Commonwealth, Possession, or District in the free exercise or enjoyment of any right or privilege secured to him by the Constitution or laws of the United States, or because of his having so exercised the same; or
If two or more persons go in disguise on the highway, or on the premises of another, with intent to prevent or hinder his free exercise or enjoyment of any right or privilege so secured—
They shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than ten years, or both; and if death results from the acts committed in violation of this section or if such acts include kidnapping or an attempt to kidnap, aggravated sexual abuse or an attempt to commit aggravated sexual abuse, or an attempt to kill, they shall be fined under this title or imprisoned for any term of years or for life, or both, or may be sentenced to death.
The “going in disguise on the highway” part probably refers to two or more night riders in sheets and hoods threatening Black people–the same constituency whom the Anointed One claims to represent–with repercussions for voting, exercising their right to free speech, and so on. In fact, a related section of the U.S. Code is known as the Ku Klux Klan Act for this exact reason.
In addition,
TITLE 42 > CHAPTER 21 > SUBCHAPTER I > § 1985
§ 1985. Conspiracy to interfere with civil rights
(3) Depriving persons of rights or privileges
If two or more persons in any State or Territory conspire or go in disguise on the highway or on the premises of another, for the purpose of depriving, either directly or indirectly, any person or class of persons of the equal protection of the laws, or of equal privileges and immunities under the laws; or for the purpose of preventing or hindering the constituted authorities of any State or Territory from giving or securing to all persons within such State or Territory the equal protection of the laws; or if two or more persons conspire to prevent by force, intimidation, or threat, any citizen who is lawfully entitled to vote, from giving his support or advocacy in a legal manner, toward or in favor of the election of any lawfully qualified person as an elector for President or Vice President, or as a Member of Congress of the United States; or to injure any citizen in person or property on account of such support or advocacy; in any case of conspiracy set forth in this section, if one or more persons engaged therein do, or cause to be done, any act in furtherance of the object of such conspiracy, whereby another is injured in his person or property, or deprived of having and exercising any right or privilege of a citizen of the United States, the party so injured or deprived may have an action for the recovery of damages occasioned by such injury or deprivation, against any one or more of the conspirators.
Governor Blunt’s press release uses the specific words “using the power of the state to deprive Americans of their civil rights,” “intimidation,” and “silence political criticism with threats of prosecution and criminal punishment.”
Any attorneys who read this, could you weigh in on whether, assuming that Governor Blunt’s allegations are proven, this constitutes a violation of the U.S. Code as shown above?
Meanwhile, if these allegations are indeed true, then Barack Obama can be compared legitimately to Adolf Hitler. Godwin’s Law applies only when a comparison of a political opponent to Hitler or Nazis is a gross exaggeration, and “using the power of the state to deprive Americans of their civil rights” is exactly what Hitler and real Nazis once did to Germans.
I called KMOV yesterday and was rudely told by the reporter he knew nothing about this and said why not prove it in an amail.
“The Barack Obama campaign is asking Missouri law enforcement to target anyone who lies or runs a misleading TV ad during the presidential campaign.”
desk@kmov.com
http://www.kmov.com/video/index.html?nvid=285793&shu=1
This sounds like someone is close to skirting the offense of violation of civil rights.
Libel is a civil matter. Are you saying MO has a criminal libel law?
Are these to be Obama’s first political prisoners?
Is KMOV aware of and supportive of these Orwellian Marxist tactics?
If so, are they publicizing the same air of threat in equal directions?
Are law enforcement using truth serum or wearing brown shirts perhaps?

Those two prosecutors and any sheriff or judge who agreed with them to take part in this nutty endeavor could probably be charged with a violation of 18 USC 241 for violation of the person’s First Amendment right to petition his government and to free speech. That is the federal statute that federal prosecutors used to prosecute Koon and other police officers for beating up Rodney King.
But you need the US Attorney in Missouri or the Dept of Justice, Civil Rights Division to go before a grand jury, obtain an indicment and choose to prosecute.
If those two yahoos actually went out and arrested someone, I think they would be liable for monetary damages if the individual chose to sue them in a civil suit; the state or county also might be liable for money damages since the prosecutors have now publicly announced what they plan to do, using the authority granted to them either by the state, the city, the county or whatever governmental body is involved.
i wonder what law school those two prosecutors graduated from and whether they are appointed or elected to office. i assume that they are in a district that is overwhelmingly pro-Obama or they would be voted out of office or recalled in any sane locality.
I have another legal question: is it a crime to create a counterfeit birth certificate?
I haven’t heard of this in OHIO, but rest assured there are plenty of Ohioans I have seen on here that seem to be an action type group. Myself included.
Obama launches Pa. Truth Squad
By Wally Edge
The Obama campaign today announced they are rolling out the Pennsylvania Truth Squad – a group of elected and community leaders from around the state who they say will be proactive in letting Pennsylvanians know the truth in the face of the distortions by the McCain campaign.
The mission of the Truth Squad will be to respond to accusations the Obama campaign perceive as false.
Truth Squad
Governor Edward Rendell
Senator Bob Casey
Mayor Michael Nutter, Philadelphia
Congressman Robert Brady
Congressman Chaka Fattah
Congresswoman Allyson Schwartz
Congressman Patrick Murphy
Commissioner Michael Washo, Lackawanna County
Commissioner Corey O’Brien, Lackawanna County
Senator Robert Mellow
Mayor John Brenner, York
Mayor Rick Gray, Lancaster
Mayor Tom McMahon, Reading
Mayor Luke Ravenstahl, Pittsburgh
Mayor John Fetterman, Braddock
Allegheny County Executive Dan Onorato
Senator Sean Logan
Lehigh County Executive Don Cunningham
Auditor General Jack Wagner
Kathleen McGinty, Former Secretary of Department of
Environmental Protection
Eileen Connelly, Executive Director, SEIU Pennsylvania State Council
Bill George, President, Pennsylvania AFL-CIO
Commissioner Joseph Hoeffel, Montgomery County
State Representative Joshua Shapiro
Congressman John Murtha
Philadelphia District Attorney Lynne Abraham
wow. this is really something.
well let them try. we’ll go underground. he will still lose.
intimidation and manipulation, pure and simple
I am very disappointed by reading Mayor Nutter’s name there. I guess they are all just politicians.
Why doesn’t his campaign establish a “Censorship Center” in each state and any campaign ads from non-Obama campaign must first be reviewed by the Center and can be on air only if the Center issues a permit.
Yes, someone has to go into the ACLU in that state and demand a suit be filed. Get a case open ASAP.
Defend Free Speech, Defend Democracy, you may well be defending us here too.
The MO AG (Nixon) is a Dem as well and has been warring with the Governor over disclosing his (Blunt’s) e-mails.
Nixon is likely in favor of this.
Blunt is the son of Roy Blunt.
I agree Shiloh. This is just the way Hitler started. I can’t believe this is happening in the USA. The city officials attempting to carry this out should be fired. Immediately for conflict of interest in carrying out their job. Wonder if they are elected or appointed?
Annie,
Responding to your comment of Hitler, I have a similar observation. The extreme supporters of Obama are just like Chairman Mao’s Red Guards.
During the Culture Revolution in China, who said anything that was “anti-revolution” would be thrown in a jail.
During the election in Missouri, who said anything that is “anti-Obama” would be thrown in a jail???
Obama keeps saying that he is going to make CHANGES. I am really wondering what the changes are? Changing himself to a Chairman Mao? Depriving our first amendment right? Enforcing censorship? Providing us guideline in the determination of truth?
Like the thugs who surrounded the Irish Pub in Philly last night because Gov. Palin was there.
WTF??? Do you have a link for this story???!!!???
The second video is of the BO’s sweeties.
http://hotair.com/archives/2008/09/27/video-palins-pre-debate-pub-party/
Every time the little monsters do this, they turn another undecided into a McCain supporter. No one wants to see these rabid animals any where near power.
Apparently this has been going on for quite some time:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HU_zp9LmujE
Are you suggesting that this ENDS with Obama melting trainloads of Jews and the attempted occupation of Europe? Is that really what you are trying to convey here?
Slippery slope.
It could never happen…right? That’s what the Jews in Germany thought too.
That’s exactly what German nationals (Aryans) thought as well.
hell…what’s more, that’s what the germans thought as well…
It’s called an analogy. Look it up.
But threatening anyone with prosecutors and law enforcement has a chilling effect.
Look at any dictatorship.
It starts with what is and isn’t allowed to be aired, spoken, written about.
The Obama campaign is trying to keep 527 ads from being aired in several states. Agree or disagree with the groups views – what happened to freedom of speech?
You can dispute the truth of any matter. But not allowing people who disagree to have their say is a sign of dictatorship and oppression. Pick up a a history book. It’s not as though it’s never happened before.
BTW Germany was a democracy too. Hitler used the democratic process to take over. By the time the opposition figured out what Hitler’s real goal was it was too late.
It can happen anywhere and to anyone.
Think VENEZUELA
No dip shit, the message being conveyed is that Obama will eventually marry his longtime companion Eva Braun.
Similarly, the comparison made between Obama and Lincoln was really a suggestion that Obama would lead us into the next civil war.
Yes, I realize that you actually did understand what was meant but, lacking an intelligent or thoughtful reply, you resorted to getting all literal in an attempt to disqualify the analogy by tossing out that stupid straw man. Europe? Really? An argument based on the shared similarities between two things is not invalidated because those two things are not identical. Your response would have been just as stupid, but funnier if you had argued that the analogy was false because Hitler was white.
What stuns me about the video is the way the media handled it. No surprise, no questioning, no suggestion that there might be another point of view. Especially the part where they say these prosecutors and sheriffs will be “telling people Obama is for cutting taxes for people making less than 250,000 a year.” And the one prosecutor has an Obama sticker clearly visible on the door behind her.
I saw that Obama logo, too. Sitting right over her right shoulder. It sure looked like the sun going down over America.
Such happy fascists. So self satisfied.
No Obama. Not ever.
What is happening to this beloved country, I keep asking myself daily when I am seeing and hearing all that I am with this election, I cant believe that people are just watching and going along with all this, and I ask myself why.
Don’t get me wrong–I think this is absolutely horrifying.
I’m a Democrat–NOT voting O. When I was teaching in a suburban high school, we all were lectured during the last Presidential election by our Administration. We were not to display campaign material or lecture in any way to influence students to our political opinion. It was unethical. I agreed wholeheartedly. A police officer displaying on police vehicles campaign materials should have action taken against him/her.
Now, how did we get here? Karl Rove. Sorry Republicans. I am with you on this election, but you do bear some of the blame. Rove’s, Cheney’s, and their 527 group friends’ dirty, lying politics now makes some Democrats unable to think anything coming from a Republican is not dirty, They think ALL Republicans are liars. And they are unable to see the Democrats, whom they see as victims, as being liars and dirty politicians themselves.
We truly do need some change in leadership in BOTH parties.
Well since McCain hired Rove’s protegee he has picked up in the polls and aired lies about Obama’s positions so I wouldn’t worry. The Repubs and Rove are back in business again.
PS McCain folks, there is enough about Obama to air you don’t need to do the Obama wants to teach sex ed to 6 year olds. It only turns off undecided voters.
Joy – Karl Rove is an equal opportunity sort of guy. Don’t forget he is all palsy walsy with Donna Brazile. Of course, he may just be cosying up to her to extract info. After all, he was chatting up BO when he used to visit his pal, Ken Mehlman, in the White House.
Authoritarian Goon Squads… this is going to be ugly and bloody if what we are seeing and think cannot be possibly true in our Country, is actually Reality which we are all experiencing. It is not a nightmare yet.
i’m a democrat too but please let’s realize that we’ve all had a hand in this. the willie horton issue was first raised by Al Gore against Michale Dukakis during the primaries. The republicans just made their point more persuasively. and in the 2004 primary, robert gibbs (who now works on obama’s campaign) was with an outfit that ran an ad against gov dean, which shouwed dean’s face morphing into osama bin laden. and then we (DEMS)ran the mushroom cloud ad against Goldwater in 1964.
That doesn’t make any damn difference. You cannot use public officials to enforce suppression of free speech!!! This is OUTRAGEOUS. Beyond anything Obama has done so far. This guy is so far over the line. Don’t forget, he already instructed his “troops” to encircle and harass a radio station for airing a segment questioning his associations with Ayers. This guy is a danger to democracy. Unbelievable.
Do you have a link to this story???
Where’s Homeland Security when you need them?
This is definitely domestic terrorism when a group of public servants use their positions to threatened, intimidate, coerce and take hostage those who do not share their politics.
Most of us have faced the threat of nuclear warfare from enemies outside of our country, but this is the first time in our history that we have faced an enemy of democracy from within our country.
This man known as Barack Hussein Obama has crossed the line. This is not two political parties with small differences fighting for an election. This chasm, this Grand Canyon that divides the Obama ideology from the rest of the nation with fear and oppression threatens our democracy in a way that the hijackers on 9/11 did not. They came, they killed, they died. Obama’s reign of terror is here to stay. If he condones this without the power of the executive office, once given that power what will stop him? The members of Congress that helped create him?
This is our Concord, our Bunker Hill, our Valley Forge moment when things look the darkest. But it is also the moment that we decide to go to war or to give up. “I know not what course others may take, but as for me, give me liberty or give me death.” Patrick Henry
That’s a lie. Al Gore didn’t say squat about Willie Horton. Read all about it at the Daily Howler:
Link at http://www.dailyhowler.com/dh110102.shtml
i stand corrected in part. gore first raised it and presumably the republicans would have raised it even if gore had not brought it up. and the republicans certainly ran the ad with a racial overtone.
but i definitely recall sen bradley calling gore a liar during the primaries, which of course was the theme the press ran with later in the campaign when they took everything gore said and called it a lie or exageration.
Gore raised the furloughs as an issue. The Republicans added the racial poison.
My link above links to other Somerby posts which treat at length Bradley’s lies about Gore’s “lies.”
Diana you are unfortunately correct.
You are exactly right. I’ve been arguing with several people on my blog that we should get above all this crap– that two wrongs will never might a right and if you win using these tactics, you lose because the side you’re on is just as evil as the side you opposed. Sorry. That is confusing.
SJ,
I am wondering about this everyday during the election. It seems to me that fairness, justice, doing the right thing,… all of these fundamental principles no longer exist. Some people (like the editors of NY Times or Obama’s supports) work so hard to harm other people (like Palin), in a manner that is completely false, unfair, injustice, ugly, obnoxious and cruel. I do not know WHY!!!!!!
Nobody is trying to ‘harm’ Palin. We’re trying to find out who the hell she is. 38 days until we decide who will be our next President and Vice-President. She’s given three interviews, only one of which gave any insight into her policy stances.
Kyle,
New York Times used 3 full pages to report the pregnancy of Palin’s daughter. This is intend to harm, nothing to do with Palin’s credentials.
Saturday Night Live suggested that Palin’s daughter was pregnant due to her father’s crime of incest. This is to harm Palin, nothing to do with Palin’s policy.
ABC distorted the interview with Palin. I was shocked after I read the complete interview transcripts and see which part was on air and which part was edited out. The distortion was intend to harm.
Do you need any more examples?
The left wing media not only harm conservative political figures. Kyle, do you remember the NY Times’ coverage of the 4 Duke students who were falsely charged with rape? The coverage was disgusting.
And the Dukes shit was even deeper on places like Shakesville and TPM.
Let us not forget the now ‘holier than thou’ NY Times support of Judith Miller and her lies about the WMD’s. Miller was still insisting that WMD’s were there months after the invasion. Miller stood by her story even after two inspection teams handpicked by GWB found nothing.
If the NY Times does reporting like that in support of Bush, why are they pushing so hard for Obama?
Remember, this media is the same group that savaged Al Gore as a serial liar.
Liberals/progressives have called the MSM/Corporate media liars for years. Now that they support Obama they are all telling the truth.
GWB was selected and supported by the media. Look how well that turned out.
Oh, please. Obama is running the dirtiest campaign, lies, smears, and distortions, through numb nuts like you and your dimwitted friends in the media.
We have eyes, ears and noses. We can see, hear and smell what’s happening. The only thing is, ’cause Bambi’s so good at doing the dirt, he has the natural fear that someone’s going to do it right back to him. And I hope they do.
I think it was Milton who said in defense of free speech, “Let truth and falsehood grapple.” He believed that people should be allowed to figure it out for themselves. Bambi wants to spoon feed us his drivel and stifle competing voices. That autocratic view of control is what our Founding Fathers fought against. If it was good enough for them, it’s good enough for me. And Obambi can take his change and put it where the sun never shines.
So there’s a team of lawyers and investigators combing through Palin’s life in AK, with an eager and willing press reporting things like Todd Palin’s 20 year old DWI, but NO ONE looks into Obama’s ties with flaming bigots such as Meeks, Pfleger, Wright & Farrakhan; convicts like the IL Gov. & Rezko, and proud terrorists like Ayers? The disproportionate vetting of Palin (VP) vs. Obama (who has been running for president for 19 months) is plain for anyone to see.
11 months into this there is still not a deep background story on Obama.
You need to worry about who Obama is and why no one is trying to find out where and what he’s been doing all these years and who he’s been hanging out with. You know, all those anti-American friends of his. Why he went to that church for 20 years that taught Black Liberation Theology – anti-white, anti-semetic, anti-American doctrine and all of a sudden, right when he decides to run for President, he disavows it and doesn’t believe in it anymore – just up and stops believing that stuff! Why won’t he release any of his school records? Where are his legislative records from Illinois? Poof, all gone! Poof, records closed!
All he has to do is tell you to “look over here at the smoke and shiny mirror! I will heal the planet and take away your pain. Trust me! Hope and change is coming!”
How young and/or naive you are. You really are to be pitied because none are so blind as those who will not see.
Shouldn’t we try to find out who Obama is first? After all he is the one who won’t answer questions about past and he is a presidential candidate.
What purpose is served exactly by reporting on details of Sarah Palin’s pregnancy and labor, or her daughter’s pregnancy? What purpose is served by suggesting Sarah Palin be gang-raped by Sandra Bernhard’s “big, black brothers”? What purpose is served by calling Palin “trailer trash”, mocking her accent, hair style and glasses?
Perhaps this is an attempt to intimidate Palin and any other woman who might choose to run for public office? Because it is all completely irrelevant as far as Palin’s ability to perform as vice-president.
Our government is FEDZILLA. A monster. At this very moment only 26 percent of Americans agree with this trillion dollar deal. The People no longer have ANY say.
My husband and I talked about buying guns soon. We are truly scared of what will happen if 0bama is (s)elected.
don’t forget to buy the gun safe.
Un-bee-lieveable
and that dumb reporter just moves right along to the next story!
Isn’t this what Biden did to Larry Sinclair? Took away his civil rights and had him arrested without a charge by hie son the Attorney General of Delaware? WTF is the DOJ? Is anybody there?
I’m thinking the GOP thinks they have enough to destroy Opampers in October which would explain why the GOP controlled DOJ need not get involved.
That’s the problem. The DOJ should work for the citizens not the Dems or the Repubs. After Bush will the DOJ ever recover?
The DOJ is an ardent enemy of the Bush Administration. Don’t expect any help from them.
Until the GOP comes through, I am me of little faith.
very sad story
these prosecutors are modern day Weathermen
Are they also planning to prosecute people who show false or misleading ads about John McCain and Sarah Palin?
Good point and one the reporter should have asked.
I agree.
Taxpayer money should not be used to pay these clearly partisan people.
nope!
Compare this with what’s being done to Palin.
Do they not have crime in Missouri? Is there nothing better for the local District Attorney’s to be doing than shilling for a political campaign.
Jesus, what the HELL has happened to the Democratic party?
They don’t want the missouri voters to be distracted. That’s an amazing line, don’t ya think?
I’m sure I could find a line almost exactly like that one if I were to peruse my copy of 1984.
Hope, change?
Hitler, Orwell, Stalin?
Good question. I wonder what happened to my friends that were Hillary supporter and cried foul. Now the tout Barry as the KING of the DEMS> It truly is sickening.
Since both parties have completely collapsed from rot within, It looks like we would do best to refuse to be aligned with any party. To say “I’m a democrat” today makes one as foolish as anyone saying, “I’m a republican” 8 years ago.
Why would anyone want to be part of either either of those groups?
Yes, I want my party back…fighting for freedoms was a corner stone of our party and now I don’t know what they are up to. I truly don’t, after seeing them not count Hillary’s votes on May 31st my heart just sank and I cried. I really did as did so many others on that day. In many ways Democracy in America was ‘attacked’, it surely was and it was done with our media watching!
WE ARE TURNING IN TO PREWWII GERMANY
ONLY THERE’S NO AMERICA TO SAVE US FROM OURSELVES
One of the first things Hitler did in Germany was to take away everyone’s guns.
Rescuing ACORN

Election ‘08: Democrats want to use profits from the bailout as a slush fund for liberal activist groups, even those involved in vote fraud to help elect Barack Obama.
Sen. Lindsey Graham told Greta Van Susteren of Fox News that Democrats had other priorities than just solving this crisis: “And this deal that’s on the table now is not a very good deal. Twenty percent of the money that should go to retire debt that will be created to solve this problem winds up in a housing organization called ACORN that is an absolute ill-run enterprise, and I can’t believe we would take money away from debt retirement to put it in a housing program that doesn’t work.”
http://canadafreepress.com/index.php/article/5229
So what are Hillary’s views on this ACORN stuff, I cant believe that every democrat is in favor of this Hillary needs to stand up and talk out now
I don’t think there’s anything Hillary can do. It would be like standing in front of a train, trying to stop it. This thing has to be derailed by ordinary people.
by the way, i was thinking early that we need to stop talking in terms of 20%. if this plays out as they hope it does,it could be as much as 20% of $70 billion that comes out to $14,000,000,000. that’s $14 billion. this isn’t chump change.
or more appropriately, this isn’t change we need or can believe in.
This is truly frightening. It reminds me of the clues that my husband’s parents picked up in Poland shortly before the Nazis killed that family.
Well Tricia I suggest if you are truly that frightened you start looking at Canada or Mexico or maybe the UK for your new home if Obama wins.
Say “Joy” sounds like you’ve gone to the “Obama School for Compassion and Empathy”…..What happened to hope? What happened to “A New Kind of Politics”……What happened to all of the Love and Flowers and Peace and Bambi eating food right out of our hands with the butterflies fluttering around whispering sweet songs in our ears?
*sigh*…sadly, Words, just words…..
Protest Person, I didn’t buy that pig in a poke and I’m not into sunshine and lolipops. I heard the same crap when Bush was elected. How many folks said if Bush was elected they were afraid of what he would do to the country. So if folks were that frightened of Bush or Obama if elected then consider living else where until they are out of office.
Or……consider not voting for them and working to keep them out of office and stay in the country you love.
then you and all the other BOBOweenies lied when you were rubbing it in our faces. Change we can believe in you said. But it’s change for the worse….not the better.
I didn’t vote for Bush because I thought he was ignorant and arrogant. I feel the same way about Oblockhead. He is Bush III. You’re just deluded.
And as for living somewhere else–I served my country and will stay. It is the likes of you who should leave, you little snip.
Terd McTerfle, I ain’t the one saying how scared and frightened I am and talking about Nazis killing people and how this reminds them of Obama. Well if someone is truly that afraid then the prudent thing to do is campaign against that person while looking for other countries to live in the event that person is elected.
fear? in your terrible tale if the precious isn’t elected …. it’s the end of the world. So I guess that means you won’t have any other countries to emigrate to. LOL Now there’s some bad luck.
the precious-LMAO.
It is becoming my favorite
lets hope and pray The Precious does not morph into Dear Leader.
Ad hominems have always been your weakness, toodles. You need to find another job, since you’re not helping your master, Oblockhead here at all. And you still need to leave.
Well said Ferd.
I guess Joy is ok with Obama being just like Bush – doesn’t care that Bush was bad for the country – doesn’t care that Obama will be bad for the country. But damnit, it’s the Democrat’s turn to destroy the country!
PJ, no I’m just tired of the Hitler, brown shirt, Nazi retoric some post on this blog. If you really beleive Obama if elected is gonna be a Hitler then the prudent thing is to get the hell out of Dodge.
If the brownshirt fits (and it does), wear it.
Terd McTerfle, Tricia posted
This is truly frightening. It reminds me of the clues that my husband’s parents picked up in Poland shortly before the Nazis killed that family.
______________________________________
So yeah if she thinks Obama is out to kill her then she sure the hell needs to get the hell out of the USA or some medical help for her irrational fear.
where do you run when the guy you’re running from has nukes?
…or as you might put it: Compact portable crematorium.
Try Iran.
that’s not a good Idea. The US military on three sides. Host nation agreements with the countries on the forth. Nope, thats not going to do. LOL unless that’s where you planned on stoking the fires of the oven…
But wait, we all know Obama is a Muslim and if elected their is no way in hell, he’ll bomb Iran so ole Tricia is safe there.
that’s depends. Did the Iranians say something about the precious that made him look bad. LOL and besides, Indonesia is sunni.
Iran…. not
Well ole Tricia will have to decide where she feels the safest if Obama is elected.
but we were asking you. LOL and apparently…you’re clueless.
not a big shocker
Got to you didn’t it. Sorry but is just so easy.
what got to me?
Joy needs to be reprogrammed….her talking points are stuck. Back to the Obamaland repair shop for you sweetie.
Your illogic knows no bounds–your argument is the false dilemma, an informal logical fallacy. You really need to stop posting before anyone else finds out you’re not only a bot, but a poorly programmed one.
Stand and fight no O-Hitler.
No. The prudent thing to do is keep him from being elected.
Joy, why aren’t you concerned? Did Obama promise you a position of being in charge? Do you think you’re safe? Maybe until you sneeze while he’s speaking.
Germans wanted change and were going to be saved by Hitler. Obama will save everyone by taking from the rich and giving to the poor, until the rich are poor than he goes down the line to the next richest group.
You are young and do not believe our lives can change in a heartbeat. When it happens, it’s too late to stop it.
Rocky, I wouldn’t call 58 young.
First Donna Brazile tells us stay home and don’t vote if we are opposed to Obummer. Now Joy tells us to leave the country.
Hello, PJ. Joy was a bushbot in her previous operating system configuration.
Hi Ferd. Yes, sadly, you’re right.
We thought Bush would screw up royally, and he did. He never did anything like what this post is about!
Check out C-Span Judicial Committee hearings for what Bush did.
Bush’s time is running out….check out the subject of this diary for what Obama is doing, right now!
yup
Can you imagine the fiasco of Obama wining the elections just to get implicated in accusations from Rezco? Yuk
If Obama’s elected he will replace every judge, prosecutor, military general, admiral…
Well so did Bush. And how did that turn out?
I think a big part of Obama’s reason for running for president is to stop the Rezko investigations. If he is elected, all federal prosecutors will be replaced. That is the way it is always done. Patrick Fitzgerald will be fired, and Tony Rezko might meet with an unfortunate accident, commit “suicide” or have a sudden heart attack (a more modern version of sleeping with the fishes.)
If he is elected, there will be no investigations into the man. None. You will never know what our Government is doing. We will get what news the administration wants you to know, basically how great our leader is, and nothing else. Welcome to Saddam Hussein’s Iraq, not liberated, brought home to America.
I thought it sounded like the USA under Bush.
Fact is, this country has been sliding down that slippery slope since the supremes placed Bush in office in 2000. Wonder just how low we can go?
PUMA!
I am not a big defender of Bush and don’t agree with a lot of what I “think” he’s done. However, seeing the complete left wing bias of the media, I have begun to wonder in the last few weeks how accurate of a picture we have gotten about Bush in the last few years. He is the one man scape goat for everything now. After seeing what is being done by the MSM on behalf of Obama, I have no idea the accuracy of what has been reported about Bush. I have had a pretty bad opinion of Bush just like 80%+ of the U.S. population. However, this whole Obama thing has REALLY made me wonder what kind of propaganda I have been fed. Guess we’ll never know.
Jules, try wathcing C-Span. Watch Bush’s Attorney General Alberto Gonzalez being questioned by Republican Arlen Spector or try watching Doug Feith and the torture memos. Both are gone now but there are plenty left. Think Hariett Myers.
I was considering McCain until his VP choice of Palin. Think Hariett Myers. Obama is no picnic either. I’d vote for a McCain/Biden ticket or a Clinton/Obama ticket, hell I’d even consider a McCain/Huckabee ticket, but I don’t have those choices.
The choice is simple – vote Obama and kiss your free speech good-bye.
You’d be okay with Huckabee but not Palin? Hmmmm………..
I hear you Street – Huckabee over Palin???
Wow!
I think the poster above was right, who said this is a former bushbot. Apparently they reuse them, and then program the talking points and send them out to work. This one clearly had a partition on its main drive and they did not clear the Far Right programming out of it.
Alabet Person dgr, No I watched Huckabee in the Republican Primary debates and on TV and was impressed with him. I don’t agree with him on most social issues but I think he is capable of leading this country and I support some of his ideas. I examine candiates not just whether there is a D, R, or I after their name.
I’m not convinced of that Joy (as far as examining candidates not based on the letter beside their name), but I don’t know you so I’ll accept what you say. I think Huckabee is great on Fox and I’m really happy he’s getting his own show. I really like Hollywood actors too.
I’m sure I’d love Obama if he was in the movies…
I just don’t want these people in government.
Well, he’ll for sure be making more $ than as VP. And he’ll have interesting guests on his show.
Joy is bo and mo,secret hoe,wanna see pictures
Sure Turdo 383 post them pictures. I want to see them.
very interesting you say that. former British Prime Minister Tony Blair, a really smart articulate politician was on with Jon Stewart the other day and when Jon started challenging him on the invasion of Iraq, Blair defended the invasion and disagreed with Stewart in ways that really stunned him. When I saw the show, I thought that if W had been a little more articulate, he might not have been so unpopular.
http://www.thedailyshow.com/full-episodes/index.jhtml?episodeId=185182
The problem was not Bush’s ability to explain the war.
Thank you, Jules! You make a great point. Media bias is no longer disguised, and it absolutely makes one question what we accepted as truth in the past.
That’s a good point.
I am not a defender of Bush either, however, on more than one occasion I have thought that Bush hasn’t ALWAYS been wrong.
Claire McCaskell should be impeached.
Something’s rotten in my homestate of Missouri. I hope this criminal act is exposed. We don’t need a Putin in our White House. If this news continues to get press, McCaskill will have some ’splainin’ to do.
She is a disgrace. She couldn’t make it on her own and has found some coat tails to hang on to for her claim to fame.
by the way, i’m not sure whether you caught it but i thought i heard the reporter say that it was also going on in Kansas. mccaskill and sebelius. i just love it.
The reporter said “Kansas City” and that IS a town in Missouri as well as Kansas. Kansas City (KCMO) is the largest city in the State of Missouri.
I’m pretty certain the reporter was referring to Kansas City, Missouri (not KC, Kansas or the state of Kansas).

Allahpundit reminds us of these other Obama campaign attempts to suppress speech:

This things are the ones the next debate should be all about.
Claire McCaskil has got to be voted out. There are so many people on our list of people who need to find another line of work.
Nov 4th is coming wake up America.
Freedom of Speech is SACRED. Vive la resistance.
Vive la resistance!!!
Vive la resistance!
Listen again to the video and what is being said 47 seconds in. They say prosecutors and Sheriffs are “joining” (joining?!) the Obama Truth Squad. And they will be “reminding people” that Obama is a Christian who is in favor of cutting taxes for those making under 250k. I’m speechless. I wonder if they will be at polling places “reminding people” as well?
Obama’s ad is misleading because 40% do not pay taxes. I hope some Republican Missouri resident takes them on.
Maybe they’ll place cameras over the voting booths. Yeah. What a great idea. When you vote make sure the sheriff can see exactly who you are voting for. And don’t vote too quickly or cross over to another party from the one you are register with, or you will get a ticket in the mail for speeding in the voting booth and crossing a red light.
PUMAS have been warned.
I laugh in the face of internet danger!
so what happens when they prosecute someone for saying that obama is a muslim and the person in his defense presents a copy of the school record showing that obama’s religion was “muslim” or the video of his interview with stephephonopalus where obama says that he knows that mccain has not attacked him on “his muslim faith.” i also think one of his african half-brothers has been quoted as saying that he thinks obama will be good to israel even inspite of his muslim background.
http://web.israelinsider.com/Articles/Politics/12918.htm
what fun.
I know that there will be many fixed and fraudulent tactics playing out come election day. Just heard via an email from someone working for the Obama campaign that they will be registering prisoners in PA tomorrow. The joke here is that they have to go in as non-partisan. The Obama camp is using every outlet, every resource, every tactic to win this. I am honestly ready to take to the streets.
That was my first thought. What does it mean “They are reminding people?” Reminding them where?
We now know the central theme of this election – FREEDOM.
BRAVEHEART is our MASCOT
So good of you Uppity to catch your typos and strike them out!
Good move by Blunt. Hey Blunt! You’re beautiful, you’re beautiful!
At a rally at a NC university this weekend, Obama’s campaign banned all signs, claiming security concerns. I believe that some university officials objected, saying that Obama was trashing their free speech rights. I know the Obama campaign pulled this same Gestapo tactic in Germany at the One’s big rally, but now he’s trying to get away with this in the USA? Does anyone have the link?
I have a provocative question:
There’s half the country at least who will NEVER follow this bozo—how’s OBama going to make us do his will? We won’t pay his taxes. We will not give up our guns.
Civil wars have been fought over lesser circumstances.
It may come to that. Can’t believe I had to say that.
it won’t
Why do you think Obama wants a civilian national security force?
On July 2, 2008, Obama said he wants to create a “civilian national security force.”
Obama: “We cannot continue to rely on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives we’ve set. We’ve got to have a civilian national security force that’s just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded.”
In the pre-Dubya USA, that security force was called the National Guard, but Dubya ruined that. Now Plastic Jesus wants a civilian force under his command, because governors control the National Guards, so they wouldn’t do for his purposes.
Obama and the Obamacrats are duplicating the pathologies of Dubya and the Bushbots.
Obama is Bush 3. The obama-nuts don’t know, or don’t care, that they are extending Bush’s term if Obama is elected.
Amd that makes me very paranoid. It says that he already knows that the military won’t do his bidding, so he has to create a force larger than that in order to subdue the country.
Think about it.
Does he want to exterminate? I ASK because, well listen to Kamau Kambon, his friend and colleague and co-alum of Wright, he overtly calls fr the extermination of all white people…
WHY ELSE does obama need such a drastic controlling threatening huge force??
I just went back to an email I got about a week ago from Hillary and unsubscribed from her email list. That was hard for me to do, but I have no idea who these people are anymore. None.
I’ve been a Democrat since I first voted for Carter in 1980. I have NEVER voted for a Republican. I’m a liberal Democrat who has no home with these thugs.
Who sent them?
You are not alone. Many of us feel just like you.
I did too after she sent me a recent email asking me to support Obama against McCain.
Can you tell me how they took over your Democratic Party? I often read here how it isn’t your party any more and these netroot, KOS kids or what ever you call them took over your party. Why did you give it to them? I hear lots of whining here. Why not man/woman up and take it back?
You say you don’t post on Daily Kos or HuffPost anymore because they were mean to you. Well toughen up. You sure don’t seem to be afraid to pile on Obama supporters who post here.
So how are you going to get your party back? I live in a Red State and County so I have little choice in my representatives but I do let my representatives know how I feel on issues and that I vote.
Joy, you’re responding to my post but quoting things I never said. I did not describe them as ‘my’ party I simply stated the way I have voted, in the past (past being the operative word).
I have never posted on KOS or any other political blog – this is my first, so I don’t really give a shit what happens there.
And how did they take it over? MONEY, how else?
Street you are correct. I should not have said it as I did. My bad. I’ve read on this blog people taking about KOS, netroots, etc. taking over the Democratic Party and I wanted some discussion on this. Hillary had the $. How did it move to Obama and why? I’m just trying to understand the switch and how deep it really is. Sorry.
thats all euphemisms for saying this is a big screaming pack of Authoritarian Communists.
You weren’t in that war, Joy, so your advice is worth about what we paid for it.
Huh Doggy?
In that case Obama can be accused of lying numerous times and prosecuted.
Now those action would put Castro to shame. Prosecuting people for lying was never in Castro’s repertory. He had to prosecute for actions, such as speaking against the regime. But not for lying. Prosecuting for lying is much better. And child can take their parents to court and imprison them for promising ice cream before bed and later denying it to them.
And who determines what is a lie? Why Obama of course.
Where do we go when the Truth Squad lies?????
That could be an infinite regression in an Oblockhead Administration.
When Obama started requesting that you turn in your family, friend, neighbor via e-mail I knew it had all gone to pot. When they started posting the names, addresses and phone numbers of PUMAs I knew it was going to be a dark road and more trouble to come. NOW they are target the ‘average’ JOE PUBLIC VOTER! OMG! It is getting scary…if he is elected they are coming to collect us, I am not joking!
Give Me Liberty or Give Me Death!!!
If Obama gets in, the Truth Squad will be trying to put some of us in the Truth Camps.
Bingo
Probably a good thing. You belong in an asylum. You are seeing things that don’t really exist.
Are you high on something Kyle? Your posts make no sense.
In order to keep them that way.
Thaddeus McCotter kicks ass. He’s telling the Dems in Congress to go to hell with their stupid Bailout.
Tune to CSPAN
I do not believe that the polls are outright wrong. I think they are skewed in Obama’s direction but they are not an out right fraud. For the polls to be even this close is unbelievable. How could anybody after looking at this guys history think that he is in anyway ready for primetime. Once again the electorate is being tricked into voting for an other Bush.
I did not believe that GW could get elected in 2004 and people voted for him anyway. In 2000 Bush was given the presidency and what did we see in response from the voters. NOTHING They just bitterly excepted it and moved on. This must have turned a lots of heads as they realized that the electorate has become to fat and lazy and will not fight for their rights. They also realized that they can manipulated through the MSM into doing what ever they wanted.
Now, 8 years later, with a war that should have never been fought, a non existent energy policy, the economy in shambles and 10 trillion in the hole (soon to be 11 trillion) we find our self with a man that could be even a bigger disaster then Bush.
I truly believe that Obama is backed by Wall Street who want the US government to bail them out. Back in 2004 Bush did not make strong moves to avoid this disaster when it should have been apparent as to what was going on. He voted present on the economy much like Obama did last week with his infamous statement “They will call if they need me”. The Bush administration did not want to upset the apple cart that was keeping the economy from slipping into a recession and in the process made a lots of his so called friends extremely rich. However, the powers to be could see the financial meltdown coming a 100 miles away. Fannie Mae and Freddy Mac hired every lobbyist they could find so that any true oversight would be crushed. They were well aware that the house of cards was about to come crashing down. I don’t think even they expected for this to happen before 2009. They made a deal with the DNC to install Obama as President to do their bidding. You might ask if I have any proof for this. Well the proof is in the money trail. Wall Street has been giving large amounts of money to the democrats and especially to Obama at the same time they reduced their contribution to the republicans. They knew who they wanted in the White House. After all the Democrats have no problem with social programs and that is what this 700 billion bail out is. Obama is clueless and will do what ever he is told much like Bush is now. It was strange that the Democrats would agree to something that the Bush administration was pushing so willingly. The only reason they have not voted on it is because they want protection from the voters by forcing the republicans to vote for the bill as well.
So if the electorate does not wake up another President will be installed and not elected. The news media has been bought and paid for and the anger from the left directed at Bush is used to keep the Democrats in line even though Obama went back on everything that he promised. He even said that he does not think any of the programs he wants to implement can be accomplished with the current financial situation. Further more he slaped the gay community in the face by campaigning with McClurkin. Plus his talk of tax cut for the middle class is just a ploy. Even if he pushes it through it will only mean at the most an extra $2000 pre family pre year and absolutely nothing for the bottom 40% of the population since they don’t pay income tax. Yes Wall Street might pay more in taxes but they rather do that and get a hold of $700 billion. After all they will be paying taxes with the money the government is giving them so for them it’s a win win. Health insurance program that Obama wants to implement will be a cash cow for the insurance companies by forcing every business to provide insurance for their employees.
So here we are with 2000 all over again only now the Democrats are on the top and the Republicans are on the bottom but the game has not changed. We have a guy who has no experience and has no accomplishments except for getting elected to office. In 2000 it was much the same. The media was giving Bush a pass on everything. Did not ask him any difficult questions. Did not look into his DUI. Ignored everything from his past. Does that not sound so familiar. The only thing that has really changed is that they have gotten a lot better at it. That is why they could pass some one like Obama off to the public and have him be so close or ahead in the Polls.
I really hope the McCain camp will be able to pull this off and flush the people who are behind this out. I am not a devoted McCain fan but the alternative is very frightening where you have the MSM and their backers determining who we will be voting for. At that point Democracy will seas to exist and going to the polls will be no different then sheep being led to the slaughter.
Yes, that’s what concerns me. H is W but worse (hard to believe).
But… W DID get elected TWICE.
If they keep the polls tight, it won’t look so obvious when they cheat with the voting machines.
The way they are going there will be thousands of people voting 10 times.
I hope to god someone do some checking up on ssc#s and photo id. Specially big cities and diverse pop, it is easier to pull it off there
this is what fidel castro did when he took over in cuba. he had people in each block to snitch on citizens who dared express criticism of him. they would then be kicked out of their homes or thrown in jail, depending on how critical of Fidel they were.
unbelievable.
i wonder if michael moore is going to make a big deal of this. or george clooney. or the ACLU. can you imagine if a republican did that.
Michael Moore will be appointed to head the committee to resolve all health care problems and George Clooney will be in charge of Obama’s Hollywood wardrope.
And Rufus T. Firefly will be Secretary of Defense.
Rufus T. Firefly: “You’re a brave man. Go and break through the lines. And remember, while you’re out there risking your life and limb through shot and shell, we’ll be in be in here thinking what a sucker you are.”
There was much more brutality to the take over of Cuba by Fidel than has ever been published. I was in boarding school just after and we had two sets of sisters that had been sent out of the country by their parents before the collapse. The parents didn’t make it out but had arranged a code to communicate in that instance. The Ursline Academy there was signed over to Castro after the torture of all the nuns and Mother Superior was forced to sign the deed. I can only imagine how extensive the cruelty was all over the island!!!!
jrterrier,
I’ve been saying that for weeks. Castro, garnered support from young people and the poor promising pretty much the same things as Obama, free health care, taking from the rich and giving to the poor. Once he took control he gave them everything he promised but he took away their freedom.
I said this before but I am going to say it again…This is the kind of story the NYT used to cover. I said a bit more but I was upset so anyway…
My parents and well my whole family lives in Missouri…I was raised there…If you have never been there it is full of small towns..very rural…I mean small towns with populations of 1200, some less some a bit bigger…Yes they have larger towns and a few big cities.. but there are Amish, small German towns…it is very middle America…and yes they feel they got took by Clair McObama…
When I first read about this the other day I cried…yes my eyes teared up…to think Obama and his thugs were just taking over what little news these rural people got…yes you can get a dish but if you are outside city limits no cable television if the city even has cable..internet is like making a long distance phone call in most of the small towns…
If you go to a church in the next town over chances are someone from even the next town over has internet and you meet up in the middle…sounds silly I know but I am telling you that is how hard it is to get information in these small communities. They get the alphabet soup channels but we all know how much they tell the whole story…right?
Thanks for putting this up Uppity…I was hoping you would cover it…I was glad to see today that the Gov. had spoken out…I wonder how many other states this is happening in and they don’t have a TV station like the one in St.Louis who exposed them…how could we find out?
Whether he wins or loses this will end badly!
The moon will turn to BLOOD!
No Kyle, but you will have to go to work, sorry to inform you.
LOL!
Actually that’s happened already.
We are an election victory for Obambi away from state controlled media. If Obambi is elected the media will be (with the exception of Fox) happy to comply with state control of the content and context of all news broadcast in this country. Or news will be just like that of all communist/marxist/facist countries.
Do you live under a rock? Or is it because your head is so far up your ass that you don’t realize the irony and the complete stupidity of what you are saying. Mindboggling.
Kyle, you make one more personal attack here and I guarantee you it will be your last.
That sure is a nasty piece of work. My guess is ‘first time voter’.
i actually don’t believe that. i think the pendulum would swing.
Does anyone doubt me now why I’ve been calling him the second coming of Hitler?
Some of us begged the GOP to share the damaging goods they had on Ohitler to help prevent his nomination. We told them they were rolling the dice and there was no guarantee they could beat him in the GE. Fucking idiots! PUMAs have put country over party. Seems like we are the only true patriots left. The Dems let us down. The GOP let us down. Now we have to help fight to save everyone from their own selves.
That sense of isolation may stem from the fact that you are a moron. PUMAs aren’t Patriots, they are cynical old bitches with an axe to grind. Get over yourself.
Lookie here. One of the Leaders fascist bots has showed up. Are you going to report the PUMAs?
Kyle,
This response shows you to be uninformed and callow.
I bet Kyle has an “Official Truth Squad” badge and everything!
I’m not cynical, old or a bitch. I have a brain, and if Obama supporters would pull their heads out of his ass for 2 seconds they might get a whiff of clean air and realize they aren’t smelling roses. It’s bull shit! Obama is a criminal awaiting an indictment. I just hope after it comes out and all you Obamatons realize what complete jackasses you have been made to look and act like, you all line up for sterilization and lobotomies!
POdVet–they’ve already been lobotomized; why do you think they’re following Plastic Jesus?
You just may have gotten yourself a collective libel suit, litlle obothead. But that would only be if any of your horseshit posts were true–and they aren’t. As far as getting over things, I believe we’re all over you, in more ways than one.
Where can we sign on to sue the obothead for libel?
LMAO. The moniker is just too appropriate!
Well, I’m an optimistic old male veteran. Broad brush, sonny boy.
Sharpening my axe. Oh, Kyle, you sweet talker, you. Bet your candidate’s proud to have you on his side. Why, it almost makes me want to vote for the inept, corrupt Chicago thug. Tell us more.
Wow – Kyle is working himself up into a sweat! This is the most he’s worked his whole life! He’s jabbing left, he’s jabbing right, he’s ducking, he’s on the ropes! Oops! sorry – down for the count, big boy.
Don’t try to play with the girls, Kyle – we’re vicious, nasty, and heartless AND WE NEVER GIVE UP! This is a fight you’re gonna lose!
No how, no way, Nobama!
He’s working on that pay raise BO promised them for laying it on thicker.
Kyle,
This is your mother. If you do not turn off your computer and go to bed NOW, you will be grounded for a week.
I’ll count to ten: 1,2,…
What is really make me sad is that Obama is the first serious black candidate. And turned out to be this unqualified,fraud and a liar. Not to mention a faciest. So who is benefiting from this fiasco? Racists. Plain amd simple those who are pushing him to the front line and promoting and covering his tracks all the way till it is no longer possible to cover, are the real racist. They want to stunt the growth of minorty’s power. Obama is just the one to do it.
You said it ownaa. He is going to set back the hope of a legitimate black candidate for a long, long time. I really hate him for that.
Dear Ownaa,
I respectfully disagreed with you that Obama is a “black” candidate because I think he is a faked one.
In my definition, a real “black” American has the connection to the American history of slavery, segregation and the civil right movement. Obama has no such connections. His father-side ancestors are all in Africa. He was raised by his white grandparents.
Jessy Jackson is a black, indeed. If you compare Obama and Jackson, I hope you can understand why I say that Obama is not a black. His black is only his skin color, and only skin shallow.
The real racist player is Obama himself. He developed a victory formula when he ran IL state senator: black as the base, plus white liberals and Latinos. He used this victory formula in the primary and even Hillary was defeated. However, when the blacks voted for him with a loving heart, I sadly believe that he does not return with his heart. The black to him is merely voters who can help him to grasp more and more power.
Ownna, I know you might be unhappy about what I said. I just sincerely told you what I honestly believe.
And that is the shame of his candidacy. He only cares about himself.
Amen Ferd. He only cares about himself. Whether he’s black, white or other is irrelevant to that basic problem.
Where are the people of MO in asking their Attorney General about this? Not to mention US Attorney General, in regard to equal protection under the 14th, I would think. IT sure smells like intimidation. I would love to hear what people in MO think of this.
Someone should provide some phone numbers.

Uppity,
Thank you for this eye opening article. This is beyond scary. This is like watching a horror movie played out in slow motion. Imagine if Obama and gang had tried this is a state that had a governor who supported Obama. I doubt if the civil rights of anyone opposing Obama would have been protected. He is wanting people to be arrested and sent to jail for exercising their constitutional rights. Whoo! This is serious and no one in the MSM will cover it. How did our country come to this?
Defamation is not a right protected by the Constitution. It’s not a horror movie. You sound like a paranoid person.
Kyle??? Free speech??? Ever hear of it??
He only believes in free positive speech about Obama. That’s all. Just ignore Kyle the moron. He is completely insignificant.
Yeah. I’m the biased one. Sarcasm noted.
unfortunately you’re strongly biased to sending out the fuzz to deal with them and those that don’t make the precious look so good. That’s a bad bias to have.
Passive aggressive doesn’t suit you Kyle, I see you as more overtly aggressive. Nice try though.
Read a few posts down, dink. Your bs, even though so finely sliced and well-presented, is still bullshit. Someone who knows the law just spanked your bot backside.
Kyle,
Obama’s campaign hires hundreds of guys to go to proMcCain or proHillary websites to fight. Are you one of them? Hope my curiosity will not offend you.
Who’s being defamed? Oblockhead? Politcal speech is protected by the First Amendment. This has been ruled on by SCOTUS more than once. He’s a damn politician and we can curse his name if we so desire. You bots can have my free speech when you pry it off my cold, dead lips. And that’s where the Second Amendment comes in quite handy. Take your Maoist philosophy somewhere else, Dickweed.
they can crush my typing fingers, but I will still have a voice!
defamation is not a criminal act subject to prosecution or arrest. it is a civil wrong. and obama is a public figure. he would have to prove intentional lie or a reckless disregard for the truth.
more to the point, do you know what got alger hiss thrown in jail — the defamation suit he brought against chambers. when you file a civil suit, you can be deposed under oath, your friends and family can be deposed under oath, your papers can be subpoenaed. oh, the joy.
beware the legal system. it can come back to haunt you.
from wikipedia, here is more about “Alger Hiss (November 11, 1904 – November 15, 1996) was a U.S. State Department official involved in the establishment of the United Nations. He was accused of being a Soviet spy in 1948 and convicted of perjury in connection with this charge in 1950.
On August 3, 1948, Whittaker Chambers, a former Communist Party member, testified under subpoena before the House Committee on Un-American Activities (HUAC) that Hiss had secretly been a Communist while in federal service, despite the fact that Chambers had previously testified under oath that Hiss had never been a Communist. Called before HUAC, Hiss categorically denied the charge. When Chambers repeated his claim in a radio interview, Hiss filed a defamation lawsuit against him.
During the pretrial discovery process, Chambers produced new evidence indicating that he and Hiss had been involved in espionage, which each had denied under oath to HUAC. A federal grand jury indicted Hiss on two counts of perjury; Chambers admitted to the same offense, but as a cooperating government witness he was never charged. Although Hiss’s indictment stemmed from the alleged espionage, he could not be tried for that crime because the statute of limitations had expired.
After a mistrial due to a hung jury, Hiss was tried a second time. In January 1950, he was found guilty on both counts of perjury and received two concurrent five-year sentences, of which he eventually served 44 months. Arguments about the case and the validity of the verdict took center stage in broader debates about the Cold War, McCarthyism, and the extent of Soviet espionage in the United States.[1] Although a variety of evidence has been added to the debate since his conviction, the question of Hiss’s guilt or innocence remains controversial.[2] Some reliable sources have suggested that those who believe in Hiss’s innocence are in the minority of scholarly opinion.[3]
If it is true it cannot be libel or slander or defamation.
Kyle,
Consult with some constitutional law specialists or read some case law by yourself. Please!
Why don’t they tell who started the financial crisis that we are in now, (Jimmy Carter ring a bell), then in 1995 Clinton and his Democrats forced the banks to give a Trillion dollars worth of loans, that had no chance of being repaid. THANK YOU DEMOCRATS !! Democrats are also responsible for the mess Social Security is in, Big ears Johnson took monies for student loans in the 60’s, and the Democrats haven’t quit raiding the Social Security coffers since. Party of change, right, none of the changes are good for the country.
Poppycock.
Republicans always screw everything up, then blame the Democrats.
It’s called The Republican Moonwalk.
Tell me if you think this clip is too strange:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-GCNfc4tsug
Who defines THE “truth”? Obama and his thought police?
If Obama becomes POTUS, we need a Paul Revere riding through towns yelling, “The Marxist are coming, the Marxist are coming.”
I laughed when I read your comment then I thought of home….anyone here have a horse?
I could use a horse to go to the grocery instead of waiting in gas lines for 5 hours
30YearDem-not any more;
Will wild ones do?
No, but Oblockhead has promised his little Oblockheads forty acres and a mule if he wins.
The person I bought my home was an 90 year old gentleman from the state of Texas and told me of his childhood being the son sharecroppers who had lived as slaves themselves as children.
We have come a longway since then…or have we?
OT: Harry Ried was on C-SPAN books hawkin his wares, saying he loves history…
I ask myself “Self?, Then why is he repeating it?”
At one time I thought we had. I’m not so sure anymore. My world was completely turned upside down and inside-out when my former party of 32 years went off the ciff on the far left.
Because he sees something in it for him, I suppose. He really isn’t too bright, either.
There is no up or down anymore. No left. No right. The old names no longer apply. The pot has been stirred. The only handhold left is America.
Fight for it.
Amen to that.
Are they going to charge people who call them little suckups? Do these authoritarians think they will get an appointment in the Obama Stasi so they can terrorize people. If no one can call the great O a Muslim, will we be hauled off if we call him a Methodist?
Of the two mentioned “hey you can’t say that” no-nos. The one I find most amazing is you can’t disagree with “he’s gonna reduce taxes for people making less than 250k.”
WTF?
I can almost (if I bend my mind around a tree three or four times) get the bizarre logic of defending his religion. But the second item is one purely of policy. How in the world can that be slander or libel? It’s just fucking bizarre.
Defending his faith is as much of a joke as anything. I don’t care how you sugar coat it, black liberation theology calls for killing any god that doesnt put advancement for blacks ahead of everyone else. That is NOT no matter how twisted you try to look at it…a Christian based faith! Satanism is a Christian based faith. Black Liberation Theology is not even up to it’s level.
You’re right. Substitute “white” for “black” in everything they say and you can see that it’s the same old racist rant.
It’s astonishing how dense you people are. Please educate yourselves on the word ‘libel’ before you start equating Obama to Hitler. Prosecuting people or campaigns who make false statements is not a police state tactic. I’m dumbfounded by the lack of intelligence by some of the extreme right wing, which many of you seem to be a part of. Please educate yourselves. Please. You can’t call yourself an educated and responsible person when you allow chain e-mails to influence your vote. That is just dumb. It’s lazy. It’s scary.
I don’t get chain e-mails for one and did you listen to the news reporter on how the police were involved in this?
It goes some what likes this. They took my opponents and I said nothing. They took my neighbor and I said nothing. When they came for me there was nobody to help me.
I recommend a new talking point for you. Perhaps you go visit Obamaland and see if they have any fresh ones. Just calling people uneducated really isn’t an argument and it does nothing to further your cause. By the way, Obama claims to be “educated” and it doesn’t seem to do him much good…..just saying.
Did you just libeled me? I don’t know. Let me ask the sheriff in my community.
Lark,
I do believe you HAVE just been libeled. Obama’s sweetie Kyle better lawyer up cause he’s going to jail…or the concentration camp. Whichever he prefers.
The legal definition of libel is an untruthful statement about a person, published in writing or through broadcast media that injures the person’s reputation or standing in the community.
Libel is a tort and the injured person, or persons, can bring a lawsuit against the person, or persons, who made the false statement.
Libel is a form of defamation, as is slander, which is an untruthful statement that is spoken, but not published in writing or broadcast through the media.
Note that public officials or public figures suing for libel will often have to prove a higher level of fault than an ordinary person.
The Supreme Court has said that a public official is one who, at the very least, has or appears to the public to have, a substantial responsibility for or control over governmental affairs.
Say, isn’t this what happened to Bill Clinton? Didn’t Michelle 0bama slander him when she accused him of saying Barack 0bama’s candidacy was “fairy tale,” when in reality Bill was referring to her husband’s stance on the Iraq War.
Take Michelle to court Bill. Sue her!!!!
The obot is libeling us. Quick, someone report him to the police.
UppityWoman; I give you Exhibit A.
You sound like Gomer Pyle–”Citizen’s arrest”.
and it is a police state tactic. The police are involved. Libel and slander aren’t criminal offenses. They are civil matters.
Fan-fucking-tastic, Kyle. I guess Sarah Palin can now have any Republican Prosecutor or Sheriff she can enlist in NY State arrest Andrew Sullivan and the entire staff of The Atlantic who have made some of the most outrageous claims EVAH in a Presidential campaign. Or maybe she’ll go after Saturday Night Live who, ’satirically’ of course, said her husband raped his daughters.
Since this is still America, she won’t of course – she’ll just refute their outrageous claims, or ignore them for what they are – shite.
BO calls the cops of course. Most likely because he has an awful lot to be scared of.
so while obama is busy stabbing the life and guts out of the people of american, we aren’t allowed to call him mean? Why does that sound familiar?

_______________________________________________
Huh? I saw the Hillary/Sarah. There was another skit that implied this?
Sadly, Joyfulness, there was one that did more than “imply” this. Yes, Obamamania is such a hopeful, wonderful thing.
they seem to hope for the worst in others
Not imply, flat out stated it – ’satirically’, of course.
I went and viewed part of the skit on youtube. I know SNL cutting edge but that was wrong on many levels. It wasn’t funny and it was in poor taste.
Really, Kyle. Can you remember a time or refer us to a case where a political campaign was prosecuted for lying?
Oh, yes, there was the famouse case of John Peter Zenger who was jailed and prosecuted for being critical of the governor. do you think that Obama the constitutional law “professor” as his supporters like to refer to him has ever heard of this case. Or that perhaps those two prosecutors who must have gotten their law degree from the internet ever studied it?
again from wikipedia, astounding similarities:
John Peter Zenger was born in 1697 in Germany, and migrated to New York as a child in 1710. His father died during the journey and his mother raised the child alone. He was accepted as an apprentice to New York’s only printer, William Bradford, until 1718. . . .
Zenger and Bradford became partners in 1725 until Zenger started his own shop the next year. In 1733, former New York Attorney General, James Alexander, gave Zenger the opportunity to print America’s first party newspaper, the New York Weekly Journal.
Zenger’s paper had been successful until he criticized William Cosby, Governor of New York, and the governor had him arrested and jailed. Zenger claimed in his apology that even though he was in jail without supplies, he could still publish his paper through a hole in the door with the help of his wife and servants. It is unclear just how seriously Zenger personally took the material published in the Weekly Journal. It was almost certainly financed by one of the opposition factions in New York politics, possibly by James Alexander, who along with William Smith was disbarred for objecting to the two-man court that Cosby had hand-picked. Zenger was most likely a convenient target to use in an attempt to end criticism. His defense attorney, Andrew Hamilton, was from Philadelphia, and won a case most local attorneys were confident would be unwinnable, and over which prior attorneys had been disbarred. His success may have resulted in the addition of the expression “Philadelphia lawyer” to the language.
A notable aspect of the case is that Hamilton challenged the legality of the crimes for which his client was being prosecuted. It was one of the first times in American history in which a lawyer challenged the laws rather than the innocence of his clients. The jurors were stunned and didn’t know how to, or even if they were allowed to, address whether the law itself was “legal.”
At the end of the trial on August 5, 1735, the twelve New York jurors returned a verdict of “not guilty” on the charge of publishing “seditious libels,” despite the Governor’s hand-picked judges presiding. Hamilton had successfully argued that Zenger’s articles were not libelous because they were based on fact. Zenger published a verbatim account of the trial as A Brief Narrative of the Case and Trial of John Peter Zenger (1736).
“No nation, ancient or modern, ever lost the liberty of speaking freely, writing, or publishing their sentiments, but forthwith lost their liberty in general and became slaves” stated Zenger.
Hamilton had served for free. In gratitude for what he had done, the Common Council of New York City awarded him the freedom of that city, and a group of prominent residents contributed to the production of a 5½-ounce gold box that was presented to him as a lasting mark of their gratitude. The box was preserved as a family heirloom for many years and is now in the possession of the Atwater Kent Museum near Independence Hall, Philadelphia.
Each year the Philadelphia Bar Association presents a replica of the box to the outgoing Chancellor of the Association. A Latin motto inscribed on the box, identical to the original, is translated as “Acquired not by money, but by character.”
Zenger died in 1746 at 48 years of age.
“Acquired not by money, but by character.”
President John McCain.
Anyone remember when he was campaignging by himself, carrying a lone suitcase and flying Southwest?
Shut your dumb, boring ass up “Kyle.”
Go tell Hitl- er, Obama that his ass is toast in less than two months.
I’ve got a $100 that says I have more degrees than you. Lay out your pedigree.
Remember when Obama advocated for the creation of a civilian national security force. I wonder if this is the kind of stuff his security force would handle. Sounds a lot like the Stasi to me.
You hit the nail on its head.
what the H*ll is this?
aren’t these law enforcement supposed to be working on BEHALF OF THE MO citizens??
this “truth squad” will turn into “truth camp”, then replace the “truth” with “critical-of-BO”
meaning next you will have “anti-BO camps”, where essentially you will be arrested for saying anything negative agn that fraud.
why did I become a citizen here? I could have stayed in the country I was born in, I would seen this same gestapo crap there.
If he is pulling this kind of thing now, imagine a Presidency under this gangster.
Yes, exactly. Think about the concept of an Executive Order issued by President Oblahblah.
How much does McCain campaign pay you?
How much does Axelrod pay YOU?
The House Republicans are the only hope we have left. Mccain’s campaign is a pathetic joke. He had so many openings last night to knock barry’s ass on the floor. Jim Lehrer gave Mccain the opening to destroy Obama on the first question and what does Mccain do?? He says he hopes to vote for the Bailout. What?? Why on earth would he give such a spineless answer? Why didn’t he look America in the eye and tell them that he went to Washington to look out for their best interest on this bill? Why didn’t he tell America that this democratic bailout is full of earmarks for Barry’s corrupt friends? He culd have easily won the economic debate last night and totally changed the direction of this election. What ended up happening is Barry came across as ” good enough”. I am a Republcan and I am disgusted with how weak the Mccain campaign has been. I sometimes wonder if they are trying to lose this election on purpose. America is dying before our eyes and it eating up my heart. This whole process feels like a Twilight Zone episode.
P.S President Bush is an absolute disgrace. He’s no Republican in my eyes. He sold out this country
here is what McCain said..
“This package has transparency in it. It has to have accountability and oversight. It has to have options for loans to failing businesses, rather than the government taking over those loans. We have to — it has to have a package with a number of other essential elements to it.”
There is more but that is the short of it.
The problem is that Mc Cain wants to be the gentleman in politics but politics is a dirty game, if he does not want to do what it takes to win then he will not, and he will have to sit back and look at Barry for the next 8 years.
As a matter of fact all the Repugs seems to be playing the gentlemen game now, and the do what is right BS, that attitude sank Hillary and its going to sink the Republicans also, if that is how Mc Cain is playing this game he may as well stay home with his wife and call this entire exercise off
Good point – McCain was the recipient of this shit from Bush in 2000 so you would think he would have learned.
On the other hand… I don’t really want him being turned into that (nor Hillary – my fav).
It’s people who vote for these assholes who are to blame.
I think it showed McCain’s amazing restraint and subtlety in action. He chose not to slam Obama on the bailout eventhough he clearly could – he chose restraint because I think he would rather win in the Senate getting the right bailout legislation (ie without the ACORN earmark) than win on this point here at the debate.
I think his restraint here was admirable, remarkable.
Anyway he slammed Obama good on the other points like “no preconditions and what Henry Kissinger said…” and Obama’s $1 billion earmark requests etc.
I’m so angry and in disbelief that people can find this acceptable. The end does not justify the means when thuggery and intimidation is in play!! Everyday, I find it incredibly defeating watching the media spew propaganda for this guy. McCain’s campaign has to hit and hit hard.
We should know shortly how hard they are going to hit.
I’m just wondering. What propaganda are you speaking of? Some examples please.
I would be happy to do the leg work and answer you if I thought you had any significance whatsoever. Go do your own work, slug.
Uppity Woman thank you for defending our liberty so forcefully and forthrightly.
That’s what I thought.
Kyle, the right to free speech is a constitutional right. You sound like a lawyer student. And these events reads like Orwell’s novel. I can see why you are not concerned because you will apparently approve of this.
Again, defamation is not protected. You’ve got to pick your arguments. There isn’t an argument here. The Obama campaign is protecting itself from libel. They’re nipping lies in the bud before they have a chance to spread. If there’s one thing the Republicans are good at, it’s getting people to believe lies.
Does it surprise anyone that an obot would be opposed to free speech?
Of course not. They’re just like the Hitlerjugend.
Notice how the obot doesn’t care if anyone libels Palin. That makes him fundamentally dishonest. He is not standing on any principle. He is just a thug who supports other thugs in trying to police what others think and say.
Exactly. His selective indignation is telling, isn’t it?
Politicians can’t be libeled or slandered. Politics is dirty and your master is the dirtiest.
What lies? That he was went to a Muslim school in Indonesia where he learned the morning call to prayer? Or that he was adopted by his Indonesian stepfather and probably has dual citizenship and went to Pakistan in 1981 with his Indonesian passport.? I’d like to see Barry Soetoro sue someone on these grounds.
He of course would have to prove all of this isn’t true, and I think he would have a hard time doing such.
Public figures are fair game. Unless you are a thin skinned pussy, which is exactly what Obama is. Name we one pubic figure who has not withstood attacks. Only they don’t whine like a baby and send the Truth Squad after everybody, even when they are telling the truth. If you can’t stand the heat you don’t belong in the public eye. Frankly, I can’t wait to kick his pussy ass back to chicago thug land. How’s that?
Maaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!!!! he touched me! Stop touching me!!! Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa. Call me an Waaaaaaambulanceeeeeeee.
exactly. It ain’t about BOBO’s skin color. It’s about how thin is his skin.
His skin color is all he has going for him.
What irks me about Plastic Jesus is not his ethnic heritage, but his Marxist ties.
It ain’t the black, it’s the Red!
ROFLMAO!
Well said Uppity Woman!!!
You can’t protect yourself from libel in”advance”; sure hope you aren’t studying law, if so you better get off this blog and go hit the books.
kyle, you are advocating intimidation. what you are describing is prior restraint. let’s scare people so they don’t even try to write anything even closely unfavorable because they’ll know that they may be prosecuted. do you really want to live in a world like that?
what if the person in power were someone you disagreed with. what if Bush were to hold such power.
it’s not what our founders thought. that’s why the first amendment protects the freedom of speech. it’s founded on the theory that the truth will come out in the marketplace of ideas. if we are able to freely discuss things, then the bad ideas will die.
If kyle is a law student, I would like to know which law school (and law professor) is giving that type of instruction.
Oblowme?
Had Colin Powell’s wife not nixed the idea he would have been the first serious candidate as VP for AA’s. Again I believe that the Republicans have the Dems beat. There is an article that shows that a majority of Republican voters would have voted for Powell. And I truly believe that they would have voted for the package (his beliefs and policies and the whole man) opposed to the Dems voting for Obambi for reasons that totally escape me other than his being “the first black” or just because he has a D by his name. Also in that poll 2 women, Rice and Dole had 18% each. Beginning to believe that Republicans have certain stances such as no gay marriage, but that they hold no ill will against people on an individual basis. Example Cheney’s daughter. He and Lynn do not believe in gay marriage but support and love their daugher, her life partner and their child. Palin made the Choice to have her other than perfect child but has not forced anyone else to bear a child they do not want. Palin may not believe in gay marriage but vetoed a bill that would have denied benefits and rights to gay partners. I think Obambi is a homophobe as he is a mysogonist and would deny gay rights as well as equal rights to women. McCain has never made a big deal about his campaign staff and their wages, but he has more women who make more than their male counterparts opposed to Obambi having fewer women in leading positions and paying all women less then men in those same positions.
Obama is a homophobe and a misogynist? You are really just grasping for anything now, aren’t you? You’ve become so desperate that you’re now pulling things from your ass.
donny mcclurkin, meeks, kmiec
Why don’t you go talk to the mayor of San Francisco who is for gay marriage and Obarfbag refuses to have his picture taken with the mayor. If you wanted to educate yourself you could probably find all this info on your own.
Ah go fuck yourself twit. Nobody cares what you think. So why don’t you run along before somebody helps you do it?
Waaaaaaaaaaaaa! They’re picking on my Plastic Jesus!
99 problems, but a bitch ain’t one of them.
Pays female staffers 83 cents for each dollar paid to male staffers.
His iPod with the genius that is Ludicris.
Wait a minute, sweetie.
Obama girl.
I rest my case.
You are right. He is a homophobe and is afraid of women in power. Don’t listen to or feed the troll.
Actually I consider it a “gold star” when I get a troll pouncing on me for my opinion. It would seem that it hits close to home for them to pounce.
Does anybody have the email address of the news station.
website@kmov.com

Astonishing and shocking.
This isn’t the suppressor of free speech I thought I knew.
Sorry for the rant, but I have been seeing things that are rattling my belief in the DNC to the core.
join the crowd…I can’t believe how I have been fooled by the dems…
Talk2ThePaw! I love your name!
Me too!
I LOVE IT.
We now know why Obama voted for the FISA bill.
It is my sign now. If anyone even starts a word with O I put my hand up, curl the fingers just a little and say, “Talk 2 The Paw”.
lol
May I use it?
Me too! I have to ask Freedom Fairy to make a little logo. Talk To The Paw.
All are welcome to “hold up your hand and curl your fingers at the mention of the “O” word” lol.
Let there be justice and may it be heard and read for all americans to see !
As others have mentioned up-thread, McCain’s campaign must strike hard with this story as the MSM will not otherwise touch it.
has anyone sent this to Fox news? I’m thinking they would love this.
Earlier this evening I misread the opening statement in Missouri Governor Blunt’s press release. I came away thinking Claire McCaskill was part of the public outcry against “The Obama Truth Squad.” All evening long I kept thinking, this can’t be right–this isn’t the Claire McCaskill I know. Well, now that I know the truth, this is more like the fawning Claire McCaskill from the primaries whose schoolgirl crush on Barack Obama made me cringe to watch. The citizens of Missouri should petition to have McCaskill’s Senate seat yanked out from under her.
What the hell is coming down in this country? How could those news anchors have kept a straight face when offering up such neo-Nazi drivel to their viewers? If the MSM doesn’t jump all over this, they deserve to wake up on Nov 4 to find themselves muzzled by the neo-fascist Chicago thug candidate they’ve crammed down our throats 24/7 since Barack Obama became the media’s prized pet. The public should demand that all network and cable news channels launch a full investigation of “The Obama Truth Squad.” Govenor Blunt should prosecute if charges can be brought against these Obama thugs who plotted to take away the right to freedom of speech from the citizens of Missouri.
Claire reminds me of ROZ in that old movie 9 to 5. I could just SEE her all scrunched up on a toilet in a stall in the ladies room, making sure her feet don’t show under the stall while she listens and takes notes.
Uppity, I wish there were more 9 to 5 fans who could truly appreciate just how funny that is.
I remember hoping for her to get elected. Vomit!
Memories of 9 to 5 and the corporate misogyny it mocked.

Thank you, Uppity!
As for me and mine, we’re joining the resistance.
This is related to the NRA ad released on Sept 23, 2008; Obama’s campaign attorney sent letters to stations implying they would be in legal trouble for airing the ad.

I want to see Obama go after the NRA. I can’t wait.
OHitler is on his way to become chancellor of america.
I tried to find this video over at You Tube, but couldn’t so I sent the link to this page at No Quarter using the tip line for Greta van Susterns On the Record. Somebody needs to address this and we need to get the word out here. I cannot believe this is legal. Using the law this way is not ethical and I just don’t beleive this is happening. Good Lord, John McCain doesn’t have to look at Putin to see KGB, he just needs to look at Obama.

Where is ACLU?
Where is ACLU?
Hello, Hello, where is ACLU?
If anti-McCain speech will be prosecuted, ACLU will file a law suit the first thing in next business day.
EARTH TO VOTERS:
OBAMA IS A MUSLIM AND PRO BLACK NATIONAIST – HIS VIEWS ON LIVE BIRTH ABORTION COMPLETELY WIPES OUT HIS LIE ABOUT BEING A “CHRISTIAN,” PERIOD, END OF STORY.
OBAMA IS GOING TO INCREASE TAXES FOR MIDDLE AMERICA – HE WANTS TO TAX SMALL BUSINESSES BUT HE CALLS THEM “THE RICH.”
WHAT OBAMA DOESN’T SAY IS HE INCLUDES SMALL BUSINESSES AS “THE RICH.”
I HAD A SMALL SECRETARIAL SERVICE THAT MADE THE $250,000 PER YEAR – YET I RENTED IN A SMALL ONE-BEDROOM HOME, DROVE A USED CAR AND JUST BARELY MET MY BILLS (ADVERTISING COSTS, EMPLOYEE COSTS, INSURANCE, AND OFFICE SPACE RENT) TO KEEP RUNNING MY BUSINESS EACH MONTH).
IF YOU TAX THE SMALL BUSINESSES – THERE GOES JOBS.
WAKE UP AMERICA.
If you tax the middle class, there goes the small businesses. People don’t add employees simply because they have the money to employ them. They add employees because their goods and services are being used and they need more employees to make those goods and services more accessible and convenient to the buyer. Nobody is going to lose their job. There will be more jobs because the quality of life for many Americans will increase and they will use goods and services that they previously didn’t have the means to purchase.
If you’re a family making less than $250k, you’ll receive more money under an Obama administration. Personally, and call me Hitler if it makes you feel more dramatic and relevant, I feel that if we’re going to tax someone, shouldn’t we tax people struggling to pay for a bigger yacht rather than a single mother struggling to pay for groceries. I guess that makes me STALIN!
As far as that Muslim crap, please stick your head in an oven.
No, it just makes you a clueless little obamabot who needs to pull his head out of his little arse.
The obot actually believes the middle class is going to get a tax cut. If your Leader succeeds in stealing the election, remember my words obot – Your Leader will not offer any tax cuts to the middle class and he’ll come up with an excuse to throw that promise under the bus. Maybe, just maybe, for the smallest of moments, then you’ll realize you’ve been deceived. But I’d bet you will be first in line defending your Leader’s decision to cut taxes. Because deep down, you know it’s a lie, don’t you?
“As far as that Muslim crap, please stick your head in an oven.”
Kyle is teaching tolerance through hate.
I would think with Obama being compared to Hitler sticking body parts in ovens would be the last thing to remind people of.
Kyle had better to disappear ASAP as he has become a public enemy of this site.
not to belabor the point with this fuckwit…but hitler had a fondness for ovens…didnt he Kyle.

The writer says ‘take heed’, I say carpe diem and the sooner the better. Force the oppressor and bully to act on their threats and then cut them off at the ankles. I am unimpressed by Blount’s
statement because it t
