Obama Campaign Threaten Legal Action Over NRA Ads
9/25/2008 - Read About It: Fairfax, VA-Sen. Barack Obama's presidential campaign has sent threatening letters to news agencies in Pennsylvania and Ohio to stop airing ads exposing his anti-gun record sponsored by the National Rifle Association Political Victory Fund (NRA-PVF). The kicker? NRA-PVF's Ohio’s ads have not yet begun running. “Barack Obama and his campaign are terrified of the truth,” declared Chris W. Cox, Chairman of NRA-PVF. “Sen. Obama's statements and support for restricting access to firearms, raising taxes on guns and ammunition and voting against the use of firearms for self-defense in the home are a matter of public record. NRA-PVF will make sure that everyone knows of Obama's abysmal record on guns and hunting.” The Obama campaign sent cease and desist letters to news outlets in Pennsylvania and Ohio, denouncing the ads and demanding their removal from the airwaves. All stations where NRA-PVF has purchased or plans to purchase ads have been provided with documented evidence of Sen. Obama's anti-gun record. Obama Campaign Cease and Desist Letter NRA-PVF Response to Washington Post “fact check” “Barack Obama would be the most anti-gun president in our nation's history. That's the truth,” concluded Cox. “NRA-PVF has the facts on our side. No amount of running from or lying about his record and then intimidating news outlets in the hope of deceiving American gun owners and hunters is going to work. Those strong arm tactics may work in Chicago, but not in Pennsylvania and Ohio, and not as long as NRA-PVF has anything to say about it.” --nra - pvf-- Established in 1871, the National Rifle Association is America’s oldest civil rights and sportsmen's group. Four million members strong, NRA continues to uphold the Second Amendment and advocates enforcement of existing laws against violent offenders to reduce crime. The Association remains the nation's leader in firearm education and training for law-abiding gun owners, law enforcement and the armed services. |

When we say “Free Speech”, we don’t mean for you!
-Your friends on the American left
Sieg Heil! Hail Obama!
To vote for the Liberal Messiah is to vote to repeal the First and Second Amendments.
Apparently, Freedom of Speech is only for Liberal traitors.
Like I posted on another thread like this:
From the NRA web site:
“Just because you have an individual right does not mean that the state or local government can’t constrain the exercise of that right.”

Maybe I'll have to write another check, but so be it.
If ya can’t answer ‘em, squelch ‘em.
Free for me, but not for thee.
The proper response from the NRA (besides flipping the bird) would be to send over a copy of the 1st amendment to the Obama campaign.
Fortunately, the NRA seems to have a spine, unlike the GOP.
Where are those staunch defenders of free speech, the ACLU? *crickets*
Terrific!
That there is damn right terrifying.
When is the civil war going to start?
Yes, I’m completely serious.
Me either, but it’s these media outlets that are being threatened. Question is, do they have what it takes to tell Obama’s thugs to go pound sand?
They lie flat out.
The sooner the better. It should be over quickly, since 1) liberals don't believe that anything is worth fighting for, and 2) we can easily outflank their positions while pretending to negotiate.
Also completely serious.

Let this man into office, and it would be smart to take out stock in Jack Boots and Brown Shirts
I have no problem with the Bush Administration's use of the new government powers for our security,,,,but,,,BUT,,,
once the 'faces change' in Washington--
imagine what a far-left, liberal EXTREMIST Hussein Administration would do with expanded government SURVEILLANCE POWERS!!!!
When it comes to intimidation, government control, government surveillance, government harassment,,,
YOU AIN'T SEEN NOTHING YET!!!
I've been calling it the Second American Revolution.
With the bailout and nObama's continued abrogation of our First Amendment rights, IMHO, the revolution is closer than you might think.
If Obama and his henchmen can do that when he's not even president, imagine what they could do to their critics, if he does become president and they've got the IRS, CIA, FBI, FCC, SEC, and the rest of the government alphabet soup at their disposal.
Scary, indeed.
“Just because you have an individual right does not mean that the state or local government can’t constrain the exercise of that right.”
— [Obama] 2008 Philadelphia Democratic Primary Debate”
An interesting concept for a supposed teacher of constitutional law. Whereas there is no such thing as a completely unrestrained power to exercise a right (even freedom of speech is subject to not shouting “fire” in a crowded theater) the selective incorporation doctrine has pretty much applied to states and subordinate local governments the federal constitutional rights. States and local governments cannot do that which Congress can’t do unless the constitution were to specifically say they could regarding rights and violations thereof.
Some rights, such as freedom of speech, are jealously guarded by the courts and only in extreme and rare cases is a restriction found constitutional.
Back to the topic: If the NRA has already entered into a contract with the TV stations then they should sue Obama’s campaign for tortious interference with contract. Or with prospective contract if they are just looking in the market, if the stations buckle.
I joined the NRA tonight, and recently renewed Jim’s dues:) I’m thinking about getting my daughters memberships too. This $H!+ has me fired up big time! (I’m Jim’s wife, BTW)
I’m joining too. I’m sending my check out tomorrow.
Thank you for reminding me that I need to send the NRA PVF a check.
“I’m joining too. I’m sending my check out tomorrow.”
Wonderful! I hope they get lots of new members to help fight this a$$ hat.

Excerpt:
“And here lies the seminal moment for state Senator Barack Obama. When Obama turned thumbs down on the bill, he voted against the most basic element of the Second Amendment— the right of defense of self and family— the reason that millions of Americans own firearms.
When the governor vetoed the bill, Obama once again voted against a citizen’s right to self-defense. Despite his vote, the veto override passed the Senate and the House by overwhelming majorities, thereby enacting this bill into law.”
The actual Illinois Senate records with his vote are also on record. Ir seems about the only things he bestirred himself about enough to vote was for gun control and killing newborns.
We need to all email Hannity hannity@foxnews.com this article and have him also get the senate records. I have seen them, they are available on line - I'm to tired tonight to stay up any longer....
Are you serious?? He actually said that????
Thanks for the links.
Nice to meet you Jim’s wife:) But I am starting to get SCARED big time. In previous elections I grumbled when I thought it may not turn out the way I wanted and I griped about the changes that may come, but this is very different. This is down in my gut making me sick and it is in my heart tearing it apart.
I love my country and our way of life and I feel like she is on her death bed.
I am even afraid if McCain wins. What is the reaction going to be? But above all, Obama is the scarriest thing I have ever encountered. Truth is however, he is NOTHING. He is simply a puppet with a big mouth, dutifully obedient to the strings attached to him. Who are those people and how do we expose them?
When I get done with this letter from the Obama campaign, they can send me a cease and desist letter, and I will tell them what they can do with it.
Nice to meet you too:) I lurk here a lot, and actually lurked here for awhile before Jim started posting. I post occasionally, usually w/out the “Jim’s wife” tag.
I agree that 0bama is very scary, I hope and pray that he won’t be elected, really despite the media spinning for him day and night, I don’t think it will happen. I have to admit, I’ll sleep a lot better when this election is over.
Mrs Jim:)
more for you to read
this guy is so thin-skinned
i bet it bothers the heck out of him that people will be voting against him in the millions and various states will reject him
and oh yeah the possibility more states than those he won will reject him (something most libs have to deal w/ in close victories)
Obama and company are planting the seeds for another bloody civil war.

“The Quiet Riots” - will make the Rodney King riots look like child’s play.
Free speech for me, but not for thee. Standard rat mantra.
If I had as many people guning for me as he has, I would want to get rid of the second amendment also.

Geez, how did they even know about the ads? Did they hack the NRA's e-mail system, too?
