Obama's Protestors Threathen TV Stations Over McCain Ad "Know Enough"
Obama Campaign Threatens Jihad Against TV Stations That Air Weathermen Ad
Obama Campaign is threatening TV stations that dare to run a controversial ad that questions Obama's friendship with unrepentant Weather Underground terrorist Bill Ayers.
The campaign of Democratic presidential nominee in waiting Barack Obama is threatening TV stations that dare to run a controversial ad that questions Obama's friendship with unrepentant Weather Underground terrorist Bill Ayers.
Politico quotes an Obama aide as saying this afternoon, "The Obama campaign plans to punish the stations that air the ad financially, organizing his supporters to target the stations that air it and their advertisers."
Politico has posted copies of letters the Obama campaign has sent to station managers and a letter the campaign has sent to the Department of Justice demanding a criminal investigation of the group that is running the ads, American Issues Project.
At the same time, the Obama campaign has released an ad respoonding to the Weathermen ad claiming Ayers' acts of terrorism happened when Obama was a child and that he has denounced the actions of Ayers.
The Obama campaign claims its supporters have sent 93,000 e-mails to the Sinclair Broadcast Group, which is airing the Weathermen ad. Sinclair faced similar threats in 2004 when it announced plans to air a critical documentary about John Kerry.
The Obama campaign is unleashing an unprecedented attack against First Amendment rights personally directed by a leading presidential candidate. Should he become president and actually have the power to carry out these threats, the Nation will be pushed to a perilous precipice.

Wild Thing's comment.............
These idiots are creating a pent up DEMAND for the very ad they are trying to squelch. Pretty soon stations will run it just because so many people want to know what the big fuss is all about.
So much for “truth” and “tolerance” they claim... They are spinning their wheels trying to figure out how to keep quiet the fact that this whole campaign is filled with Communist/Maoist/Guevera-ite/Marxist Radicals (and of course, terrorists).
Obama’s letter says the ad makes a false link between ‘The One’ and acts of terrorism. The ad does no such thing. It simply asks why does he think such terrorists are ‘mainstream’ and what does this say about his judgment
Obama's letter states there is no American Issues Project and that is also a LIE. I posted it before in my olther post introducing this video.
http://www.americanissuesproject.org/
The American Issues Project is a 501(c)4 organization representing a coalition of conservative activists committed to raising important issues that deserve deeper examination given their impact on policy. In accordance with federal law, the American Issues Project only solicits and accepts contributions from individuals and not from any business corporation.
It really tees me off that his supporters can’t see the incredible hypocrisy these actions represent. Should Obama become President and have any real power you can bet that this will be the MO of his administration. “You can’t print anything I don’t approve of or you’ll be kicked out of the White House Press Corp. etc... etc...” Not to mention the whole “Fairness Doctrine”. One can only imagine the utter destruction of the 1st Amendment if they get their way... Scary, indeed!

So now Ho-bama threatens a TV stations if it runs a McCain ad ? Hmmmm...sounds like an attempt at Illegal censorship to me. I thought Ho-bama was different not your everyday, garden variety, snake politician from Washington. Whatever happened to freedom of speech 'Barry'. Censorship or a look into the near future as to what an Ho-bama presidency would look like. What happened to fairness ?
Like it or not 'Ho-barry, your association with these anti-American dirtbags will bite you in the ass.
HO-bama is a really the POS we always thought he was and Biden just re-enforces the socialist fecal nonsense.

Next will:
The library police want a list of what books I have in the house.
The TV police put a box on my TV to see what I watch.
Might not matter if books, TV etc. are cajoled into being Obama correct.
Mark, right on.

Obama-bin-Biden denounces what Ayers did but socializes with him. Isn't that like deouncing what Charles Manson did but then taking him out to dinner?

BobF, exactly!
This is merely a First Amendment issue and we know that Obama and his bunch really consider The Constitution to be mostly an annoyance getting in the way of good socialist government. To BHO, associating with a known communist and terrorist is a much lesser deal than associating with guns and bibles, or "typical" White Persons.

Conservatives and Republicans just don't get it. The First Amendment applies to everyone else but them. Barack Hussein Obama is becoming Der Fuehrer Obama and if the Democrats get a filibuster proof majority they will impose the unfair Fairness Doctrine stifling free speech.
Ben Stein compares Obama to 'the Fuehrer'

Look no further than Venezuela to see our future under this Marxist. Make that either Marxist, BHO or HRC.

Mark,he sure is a POS. Obama sure likes to use censorship. He has done it from the beginning starting with his ears, then he didn't like being called a liberal LOL then his middle name and the list is growing. GRRRR

Bob, yes Obama would love to have those things done in our homes.
Posted by: Wild Thing at August 26, 2008 05:40 PM
BobF, good comparison I agree.

Tom, your so right, the left could care less about The Constitution.
Posted by: Wild Thing at August 26, 2008 05:45 PM
Jack, yes very smiliar. All I keep hearing from the dems when out and about is how they want change. It is like some sick mantra and I am so tired of it and they never ever can say why or what changes they want. They just repeat what they hear like brainless wonders. Or not such wonders actually.

As the X-Files said, "The Truth is out There."
The dummys turn a blind eye to the truth. They'd rather hear a lie.
Too bad, is this video the truth? Are you all chickens? Bock-bock-bock! This is an election year, let the ads run.
Somehow it makes us republicans think that you only want your ads run, so we forget who our candidate is.
