Gov. Matt Blunt(R) of Missouri is furious at Obama for using prosecutors on campaign “truth squad”
Hot Air Blog ^ | Sept.27/08 | Hot Air

Posted on 09/27/2008 7:38:30 PM PDT by canucky

Quote from Gov.Blunt "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."

This thread moves pretty fast for me, so if this has already been posted, please excuse me. Hope you all find it interesting. I was wondering when someone from the State would speak up and I'm very glad it turned out to be the Governor himself. This looks like a tactic Obama's gang are testing out in Missouri, and if it works, they'll do it everywhere. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS MAN!

I sent the following links to everyone on my email list without a comment. The video and Governor Blunt’s statement speak for themselves. In the subject line I put:

This is abuse of power. Palin is not allowed to do stuff like this but it’s okay for the Commie ‘RATS like Obama. They are above the law.

We all know how search can work sometimes.

Anyway, canucky, you can often find important things posted on the sidebar, or do a keyword search of names or states.

Welcome to FR.

Hopefully this kind of blatant activity will finally open some people’s eyes.

This action ranks right up there with Police “Checks” in front of polling stations in 60’s...in Los Angeles!

I second that emotion. And not only did he speak up, he spoke eloquently and in the stark terms that must be used in any meaningful response to this outrage.

Matt Blunt is a politician, you should NEVER adore politicians! It's OK to respect them once in a while but never adore career a politician.

This goes along with his agitator tactics which he learned from the Marxist manual.

Thanks, canucky, for posting this. I guess because of how fast the threads are moving, whether it was posted several times before or not - I MISSED IT! And I check the site several times a day (and night).

So thanks again for the post. It looks like a “history repeating itself” lesson, back to the late 1930’s when Hitler was on the rise.

Very, very frightening.

I've posted on one of the other threads on this subject the following:

Other than Drudge, I don’t think the national Obama media has mentioned anything about this.

We need more than a statement from the governor. We need an investigation by the state Attorney General and the local US Attorney. These wannabe commissars need to be stepped on fast and hard.

Damnit! This is America, not some soviet peoples republic or african dictatorship.

This is the kind of thing, if allowed to promugate, that could lead to an honest to god excercise of the second amendment.
