Gov. Blunt Statement on Obama Campaign’s Abusive Use of Missouri Law Enforcement
JEFFERSON CITY - 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.
“What Senator Obama and his helpers are doing is scandalous beyond words, the party that claims to be the party of Thomas Jefferson is abusing the justice system and offices of public trust to silence political criticism with threats of prosecution and criminal punishment.
“This abuse of the law for intimidation insults the most sacred principles and ideals of Jefferson. I can think of nothing more offensive to Jefferson’s thinking than using the power of the state to deprive Americans of their civil rights. The only conceivable purpose of Messrs. McCulloch, Obama and the others is to frighten people away from expressing themselves, to chill free and open debate, to suppress support and donations to conservative organizations targeted by this anti-civil rights, to strangle criticism of Mr. Obama, to suppress ads about his support of higher taxes, and to choke out criticism on television, radio, the Internet, blogs, e-mail and daily conversation about the election.
“Barack Obama needs to grow up. Leftist blogs and others in the press constantly say false things about me and my family. Usually, we ignore false and scurrilous accusations because the purveyors have no credibility. When necessary, we refute them. Enlisting Missouri law enforcement to intimidate people and kill free debate is reminiscent of the Sedition Acts - not a free society.”
Ping to you , sir.
After consulting numerous legal documents, and conducting extensive research through lawyer friends, I have the answer. Democrat felon = no prosecution. Period. So, feggedabowdit. Won’t happen. Only repubs get prosecuted.
If McCain/Palin had tried this, Hollis French and his band of Obamanoids would be all over them like white on rice.
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. Best news I’ve heard all day.
MSM will have a hard time keeping this buried.
these needs to go public as this is not the first time obama and his cult have tried to silence people
also these people who were involved need to be fired they are getting paid to go after criminals paid by the tax payer, they should not use their position to help in a campaign
fed up of obama and his cult trying to silence people and the media cover this up
Nothing Nobama does shocks me. He is beneath contempt.

“Yo, Barack! We all up in yo face, bro!”
this just shows the danger of letting obama into the white house
I have said this before the biggest threat and danger to this country right now is not Iran nor bin laden it is obama
if this man gets in he will damage this country for 50 years
Do we have a name/s for the campaign operative/s behind the Gestapo tactics, anyone know?
Prosecute the sob!

The Rat Party (formerly the traditional, patriotic Democratic Party) recognizes that the original "Fairness Doctrine" permitted a full hour of conservative talk a week. Buckley's PBS program "Firing Line" was way too much. It's not going to happen again.
Every RW talk show host in America should be talking about this Monday morning.
“the party that claims to be the party of Thomas Jefferson”
Why does anyone still repeat this nonsense. Who the hell knows what party Jefferson would vote for these days. Both? Neither? The modern Democratic party comes from a mash-up of the progressive movement and the 60s generation (not that those two aren’t the same thing).
Another ping.
The Missouri GOP needs to run an ad asking for everyone that has had a run in with these gestapo goons line up for filing lawsuits against Odumbo and his campaign.
The controversy alone would sink his ship.
These people must be insane. I suspected they had totalitarianism in mind but I never thought they would try this before getting into office.
Maybe they figure the nation has already kissed off most of the Constitution so why not go for broke.
God bless you, Matt!!!
“...Obama needs to grow up.”
Too funny!!
I’m sending this out, pronto.
Obama is a Muslim Hitler.
If I were the MSM, I would give this any air time, either.
The problem is that most people are put off by what they perceive as crazy, reactionary hyperbole...
...so they might not believe it when the facts surrounding this Marxist buffoon come to light and blame Republicans for smearing this wonderful messiah.
But the truth his...he truly, truly is the most dangerous national political figure this country has ever seen and if he’s elected, we are done for as a nation.
I know that will be viewed as hyperbole...but the steady stream of information about Obama leaves no doubt that it’s the truth.
GREAT NEWS! I could NOT believe what I was hearing on the news video!
These Missouri “attorneys” haven’t said one bloody thing about all the lies against Sarah Palin! Not one word!
This is scary stuff. The libs are pushing the envelope farther than I could ever imagine. I have a feeling others are going to try it.
The libs in my State STOLE the last election for Governor IN BROAD DAYLIGHT, and they got away with it. We haven’t even voted yet, and they’re already trying to sue over the use of “GOP” under some candidates names! If you don’t know what “GOP” is, you shouldn’t be voting at all, but then, there’s no law against stupid!
I’m so far behind on all of the Obama scandals that all I can think of is to get some popcorn. This one is great because it has an official air to it, like Berg vs. Obama.

This may interest you folks.
Nobama, livin’ tha thug life.
The GOVERNOR of Missouri is warning Barack Hussein Obama and his campaign is threatening Our Freedoms, a highly Illegal Act(s) in Missouri. Since Barack Hussein Obama and his Democrat Associates may be perpetrating these dispicable acts in Missouri, all American Citizens MUST assume Obama and his Democrat Associates may be perpetrating or planning to perpetrate these acts against American Citizens in all States of Our Great America! This is the GOVERNOR of Missouri warning of these real threats against Our Freedoms by the Democratic Candidate for President and his campaign and Associates. These Threats are VERY Dangerous and Very SERIOUS!
BOOM
Gov. Blunt is a hero to stand up for free speech.
Just saw that Drudge is on it.
“Barack Obama needs to grow up”
No, he needs to be put in jail.
Barack: "Governor, that's a lie! Misleading and dishonest! Sieze him, men!"
Thank goodness somebody is standing up to this.
From the Governor’s website:
“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..."

If a tree falls in the middle of a forest who hears it?
Is it a scandal if only the blogs know?
If this is not on the lamestream or on cable news the facts won’t reach the people.
Bump & Ping
