COUNTRY FIRST!!!

McCain/Palin more than ever.

Update 9/28/08 10:12 AM ET: Watch the video carefully. Notice that the public prosecutor states that Missouri officials will be joining Obama’s Truth Squad to remind Missourians that Barack Obama is a “Christian.”Does that mean that Missouri police will threaten and possibly arrest anyone who questions Obama’s religion? If Missouri public officials are SO concerned about truth-in-advertising, why don’t they open a non-partisan Truth Squad to review ALL ads?
ALSO, be aware that the Obama campaign has sicced its legal team on stations in Pennsylvania and Ohio, urging them to refuse to broadcast NRA ads attacking Obama’s anti-gun positions. I’d like to see the results of Obama’s efforts thus far to intimidate media outlets; have any refused the ads? Public officials running for elected office are fair game when it comes to speech, the normal definition of libel does not apply. The Obama campaign knows that they have no legal basis to challenge critical speech and they don’t care; their actions are designed to get results via intimidation. The Missouri officials should be fired.

UPDATE 2: How ironic that Obama supporters tell me how fearful I should be of Supreme Court appointments under a McCain adminsitration, when Obama himself has ZERO respect for the First Amendment.

During the ‘roaring twenties’ Germans ignored this vicious little man with his programme of hatred. But when the Great Depression ruined their lives, they voted for him in increasing numbers. Needing support, and thinking he could control Hitler, President Hindenburg made the mistake in January 1933 of giving Hitler the post of Chancellor.

Friends Bush is an idiot noted, but our nation is that gleaming city on the hill and always has been. We mush hold to our Constitution. We must defeat the hate monger who will attmept to take what is ours and give it to others. Let us stand with our soldiers who swear allegiance to the Constitution not the Commander in Chief as Obama stated in the debate. Come on People.

Why would anyone want to be part of either either of those groups?

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.

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.

I see lawsuits on the horizon but I don’t know if they will have any effect because of the timing.

Is the Obama campaign sending the law after critics?
Discuss

Have I gone insane, or is KMOV in St. Louis, Missouri, actually reporting that “Senator Barack Obama’s presidential campaign is asking Missouri law enforcement to target anyone who lies or runs a misleading television ad during the presidential campaign”?

The report goes on to say that “prosecutors and sheriffs from across Missouri are joining something called the Barack Obama truth squad.”

A video of the news broadcast can be found here.

Look, politicians are all about lies. It may be annoying (I find it entertaining), but that’s for their opponents and good-government groups to counter — not law enforcement. That’s especially true since whether or not criticism is “misleading” is open to debate. What’s being said may be simply a different interpretation, a bit of spin — or a better version of the truth than candidates and their friends like.

Even if the officeholders joining the “truth squad” are nominally stepping out of their official roles in order to put on their (political) party hats and play politics, it’s inappropriate. They wield too much power to use it to wag their fingers at people who say un-nice things about political hopefuls. Prosecutors and sheriffs are, after all, normally thought of as people with the clout to put their targets behind bars.

Somebody, please drop me a note to tell me that the station has it all wrong.

By the way, if the report is accurate, it fits all too well with the legal threats the Democratic candidate’s campaign is leveling against TV stations that run NRA ads critical of Barack Obama. John Lott, a noted economist and firearms scholar, has copies of the Obama campaign’s cease-and-desist letters on his Website. He also defends the content of the ads (emphasizing the debatable nature of “misleading.”)
