Gloves off: Now, Obama calls for prosecuting GOP donor
michellemalkin.com ^ | Michelle Malkin

By Michelle Malkin  •  August 26, 2008 04:41 PM

I noted this morning that the Obama campaign’s Chicago-style thug effort to shut down the independent ad on Bill Ayers is part of the larger effort to intimidate conservative donors and curtail the free speech of The One’s critics.

It’s getting uglier, people.

Obama’s lawyer has sent a second letter to the Justice Department calling for the head of Dallas billionare Harold Simmons, who funded the Ayers ad that the Obama campaign doesn’t want the public to see.

Feel the chill:

Obama general counsel Bob Bauer today sent a second, sharper letter to the Justice Department, directly attacking the Dallas billionaire funding a harsh attack ad, Harold Simmons.

“We reiterate our request that the Department of Justice fulfill its commitment to take prompt action to investigate and to prosecute the American issues Project, and we further request that the Department of Justice investigate and prosecute Howard (sic) Simmons for a knowing and willful violation of the individual aggregate contribution limits,” he wrote.

He called the group’s activities “patently illegal.”

Bauer made the case that Simmons’ group [is not] fulfilling its [...] nonprofit charter because it hasn’t spent any money on anything other than attacking Obama. Simmons’ spokesman, Christian Pinkston, told me yesterday that plans to, and dismissed the complaints as an effort to lawyer away charges the campaign can’t rebut.

I posted AIP’s rebuttal here yesterday. And as I’ve noted today and will note again: Obama has some nerve whining about campaign finance integrity after getting caught hiding $800,000 in ACORN payments.

What’s going on? Simple: The Left has its George Soros sugar daddy and can’t stand that conservatives have their own committed benefactors. They’ve got a massive non-profit infrastructure funded with taxpayers and operating flagrantly in an illegal, partisan manner (hello, ACORN Watch!). They want the playing field all to themselves. And they are fighting for that turf by any means necessary.

Can they do it?

No, they can’t. Not if you don’t let them.

Yes, they can do it. I fully expect dead bodies, those opposing Obama, to start appearing.

The man who exposed the Obama COLB on the “Fight the Smears” website as a forgery had mutilated dead animals left on his front door and his family experienced a constant barrage of harrassment and death threats. Because of that his wife made him stop doing research and withdraw all his proofs.

Chicago thuggery combined with Black Liberation gangstsa’s makes for a vicious combination. I believe they won’t hesitate to kill for Obama. Let’s welcome the new Fascists!

It would be the election of the devil’s handmaid. The only way Obama could win is that the rapture takes all the Christians out of the US. At that point, Obama would declare that God had ordained him to the president of the world. Unopposed, the lunatic left would be giddy with delight as they passed laws promoting every sort of debauchery, the Constitution would die as they passed more laws prohibiting any opposition to any liberal cause.

Not gonna happen.

Not now, not ever.

The most vile, angry and nasty creatures now control the democrat party, and I will never be fooled by their countless deceptions.

They are evil and hatred personified.

there’s an increasing belief that opposing views to theirs should not be aired.

The real problem is that the fact that he’s connected to him doesn’t seem to bother them, just the fact that the fact is being told.
