Obama speech police strikes again!

Barack Obama and his surrogates in Missouri have use the fact that some Democratic prosecutors are Obama supporters to threaten anyone who produces a campaign commercial that doesnt pass their truth test. That's funny since Obama just produced a Spanish language add filled with outright falsehoods. This is the second major time that the Obama team has attempted to silence critics.

Now in this response from the Governor of Missouri:

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.

Read the entire message. It is worth your time.

What is Obama's Free Speech Problem?

First Barack Obama reacted to a commercial sponsored by the American Issues Project who have attempted to put this commercial out there.



The Obama campaign responded by first threatening any station that would run this add and then second sending not one, but two letters to the justice department to have this group prosecuted. Interesting that I have not seen Obama have the same concern over the outright slander that moveon.org has put out there.

Then yesterday, Obama attacked National Review contributor Stanley Kurtz because he has been researching Obama's relationship with a known terrorist. His campaign went so far as to send its email list these instructions to call a local Chicago radio station to disrupt Kurtz appearance on WGN.

Even with the talking points provided, the Obama crowd didn't have much to say as they really haven't been armed with the facts. And the facts are that Obama has a relationship with a terrorist, is apparently friends with him and doesn't see anything wrong with that. I am okay with that and he should have to be judged on his personal relationships. But don't pretend they don't exist....again.
