Obama Truth Squad ~ Obama Prosecutors will “prosecute you for “lies” about Obama”

Missouri pro-Obama prosecutors will prosecute you for “lies” about Obama
Obama campaign cracks down on misleading TV ads
The Barack Obama campaign is asking Missouri law enforcement to target anyone who lies or runs a misleading TV ad during the presidential campaign.
KMOV
This video should shake you to your core. Obama supporters in Missouri are blatantly announcing that law enforcement will be used to prosecute you if you are part of campaign ads that tell, in their opinion, “lies” about Barack Obama.
And we thought the Clinton machine was bad? This is frightening. When will the lies be prosecuted about Palin, McCain, and Limbaugh? The answer is, they won’t.

Is the Obama campaign sending the law after critics?
National Examiner
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.”
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.

It is not only in this one State of Missouri look at this………………..
Obama-Biden Campaign Rolls Out Pennsylvania Truth Squad
Obama-Biden Campaign Rolls Out Pennsylvania Truth Squad
Collection of leaders from around the state will give the facts in the face of McCain’s lies
Today the Obama-Biden campaign is putting the McCain campaign on notice by rolling out the Pennsylvania Truth Squad — a group of 19 elected and community leaders from around the state who will be proactive in letting Pennsylvanians know the truth in the face of the distortions by the McCain campaign.
In Philadelphia, Gov. Ed Rendell, Mayor Michael Nutter and other members of the Truth Squad will kick off their efforts today with a press conference on Independence Mall.
In Harrisburg, AFL-CIO President Bill George, SEIU Executive Director Eileen Connolly and Secretary of the Department of Environmental Protection Kate McGinty will hold a press conference on the steps of the Capitol building.
The mission of the Truth Squad will be to respond quickly, forcefully, and aggressively when John McCain or his allies launch inaccurate claims about Barack Obama, or when they distort John McCain’s record or plans.
Judging by how much the McCain campaign has lied and distorted over the past 2 months, the Truth Squad is expecting to be deployed regularly over these final 6 weeks. The full list of “Pennsylvania Truth Squad” members will be released today.

Wild Thing’s comment……….
Obama has big ears and an ugly bump on his face. next to his nose. LOL Take that you jerk! You can take that commie, Muslim Hussein Obama.
Back in July, the Obama campaign said it opposed the “Fairness Doctrine”.
They are trying to scare people into silence.
This is about intimidation and suppressing the truth about Obama. I don’t think they believe they can make it stick, but they are counting on people being intimidated into silence.
You can guarantee that they define a “lie about 0bama” as anything negative about him. I don’t see how they can even conceive of this, it is so illegal. If he wins our freedoms are gone. But right not he has NOT won the Presidency.
TV stations, radio stations and newspapers hear threats like this all the time. It will not intimidate them for one second. Some individuals might be afraid to write a letter to the editor, but the news will not stop.

Thomas Jefferson said……..
“When in the Course of human events it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.”
“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. — That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed,
That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security. ”
