Do you mean that the suppression of free speech itself is the "surprise," or that the suppression of free speech is being used to cover up something that will end O's candidacy?
This campaign is convincing me that America is ripe for a dictatorship. It's so much like early 1930s Germany it's scary.
I’m getting a little fed up with his inability to sound strong as well. He just appears to be blowing in the wind. Palin was a great pick, and I think he will be a good, strong decision maker, but his heart just doesn’t seem to be in this. Maybe it’s me.
It’s on Drudge.
According to the article at Drudge...

Members of law enforcement never said anyone would be prosecuted, indicted or punished for saying anything, only that they were prepared to tell the public the truth.
By Saturday afternoon, outgoing Missouri Gov. Matt Blunt, a McCain supporter, was also outraged and accused Obama of “police state tactics” that would “intimidate people and kill free debate.”
In a written statement on the governor’s official Web site, Blunt said the basis for his statement was prompted by “news reports.”
“The only conceivable purpose of Messrs. McCulloch, Obama and the others is to frighten people away from expressing themselves, to chill open debate,” Blunt said in the statement.
Prosecutor Jennifer Joyce said: “We’re here to respond to any character attacks, to set the record straight.”
“Barack Obama needs to grow up,” Blunt continued. “Usually, we ignore false and scurrilous accusations, because the purveyors have no credibility. When necessary, we refute them.”
Here is where things get complicated.
President Bush, and VP Chaney, if they have not broken the law in the discharge of their duties, are immune from prosecution for the results of their official duties.
This is also true of Barney Frank and Chris Dodd.
So, Biden is opening a can of worms if they decide to prosecute Bush and Chaney for the perceived illegality of their official conduct. Means we can go after Frank, and Dodd, and Kennedy, and Biden himself. This is a double edged sword that cuts both ways.
Governor Blunt needs to make it crystal clear that the Missouri Attorney General will begin an investigation of any public official using their office to threaten or intimidate citizens in the exercise of their First Amendment rights.

“.let see the last time that was tried they also supported slavery..”
This statement shows the ignorance of quite a few liberals.
It was the Republican Party that fought to do away with slavery and the Democrats who produced the KKK.
It was the Republicans who advanced Civil Rights and the Democrats who fought to keep schools segrated. Too many are unaware of the truth.
The news video of the Missouri TV newscast came out on Drudge on Friday. The statement from Missouri Governor Blunt came out on Saturday.
I have been (along with others) spreading it around FR and also sent it to everyone on my email list. Also sent the two links below to all the FOX news shows, Rush,Sean,and Glenn Beck. I did forget to send it to the great one, Mark Levin. I was sure it would get reported on, but it has not been mentioned anywhere on TV that I know of. Actually with the bailout on the front burner, it may not at all. Who knows! I just hope folks keep sending it out to everyone on their mailing list....even Obama supporters!
