Obama Pressures Stations to Drop NRA Spot Tuesday, September 30, 2008 By Fred Lucas, Staff Writer

(CNSNews.com) - The Obama campaign’s effort to pressure TV stations in Pennsylvania and Ohio to stop airing a National Rifle Association ad is “frightening” and “dangerous,” a campaign finance expert said.

“When a candidate threatens a broadcaster with government sanction over the content of an ad, it is very worrisome to the First Amendment and the guarantee of free political debate,” said Sean Parnell, president of the Center for Competitive Campaigns, an organization that focuses on money in politics.

The controversy began last week after the NRA, a defender of the Second Amendment, began airing political ads accusing Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama of wanting to ban certain guns and put a tax on others.

Mommy they're picking on me again!

[Reaganwuzthebest]

Welcome to the politics of chains.

[Tzimisce]

When we said “free speech”, we didn’t mean for those who disagree.

Dear God, he’s not even in office and already he’s demanding stuff? That people do as their told? After practically ordering a subphoena agaisnt some government officials I think someone needs to take Obama behind a woodshed.

This country’s principles are based on not doing as we are told by authority figures.

[Dustbunny]

Oh darn, they are out their telling the truth about me, this must be stopped. /sarc

[devere]

The Democratic candidate does not support the bill of rights, period.

If you have not seen the info on the links below, be sure to look and send them on to EVERYONE in you email list! This needs to get out. I have sent it to everyong I know and also major news outlets!

[Reaganwuzthebest]

It’s Chicago/Tammany Hall politics. We not only get Obama if he wins but the other Chicago thug Daly as a bonus.

[GnuHere]

“They’re gonna try to scare you...”, but don’t worry, my goons will stop it!

[WellyP]

Keep playing the ad but start it with “Everyone can understand why the Barak Hussein Obama campaign does not want to hear this ad.”

[Niuhuru]

Oh dear God.

More public officals to tar and feather.

[Myrddin]

Obama doesn't win by persuading more people to vote for him. He attacks those who vote for his opponent to improve his margins. Look at how he was elected to prior offices. Disqualifying black voters who voted for his opponent. Opening sealed divorce records to smear his opponent.

[padre35]

Obama wants his hands in every Gun Cabinet and on every wallet.

That point should be hammered home time after time.

Today 9/30, 4.06pm Central Time -- Streamed live on http://www.wyll.com - WYLL 1160AM, Chicago, IL

Hear James Simpson interviewed by Sandy Rios.

James Simpson is the former White House economist who has just published "Barack Obama & the Strategy of Manufactured Crisis" on AmericanThinker.com.
http://www.americanthinker.com/2008/09/barack_obama_and_the_strategy.html

Simpson lays out the positioning of Barack Obama relative to the neo-Marxist plans of Saul Alinsky and Obama's implied relationship to the "Cloward-Piven Strategy" of generating national crisis and financial collapse, in order to turn the nation toward socialism.

He also connects the dots of what this has to do with the "community organizers" of ACORN and Marxist power players, Frank Marshall Davis, William Ayers, Bernardine Dohrn, etc. Simpson documents his research in his article using Web links and provides a rough flow chart.

At this point, I have not determined whether a recording of the interview will be available. Please do what you can truly do with this information, so McCain-Palin goes to the White House, not the Marxist Messiah.

End the commercial with...

“The NRA approves of this message. The Obama campaign wants to ban it.”

[A_Former_Democrat]

Hit this and the Missouri extortion attempts.

Over and over and over. These people are totalitarians, they must be defeated.

[mak5]

In the Socialist Paradise under the Great Leader, all will agree that everything is perfect (or else).

[conservativemusician]

Surprise, surprise.

Stalinist tactics from the left.

Whoda thunk it.

[just me]

We need to tell Obama our “Bill of Rights” are not subject to negotiation.

[Blood of Tyrants]

THIS is what Obama thinks of free speech. You can say anything you like, as long as he approves it first.

[nclaurel]

Sounds like Nazi tactics to me. Guess that is why the left tried so hard to change history related to the Holocaust so no one would recognize this!

[Convert from ECUSA]

New Snobama-messiah slogan: Seig Heil, Seig Heil, Seig Heil!

[Spok]

Obama repeatedly tries to shut down free speech and the MSM continues to ignore it.

[American in Israel]

Obama is such a little Nazi.

[Darren McCarty]

These people are fascists, and I’m someone who believes in Godwin’s Law. They must be defeated by any means necessary. Election if possible, impeachment otherwise.

[pallis]

The PCNazi, herr Obama, is a fascist wuss.

[Poincare]

The NRA, our Second Amendment guardian, should run some ads about protecting the First Amendment, pronto!

[Niuhuru]

This guy is sounding worse than the Clintons.

[Myrddin]

This guy is sounding worse than the Clintons.

I suspect the Clintons made their academic achievements via actual merit and scholarship...their politics aside. I suspect Obama was pushed through with lots of "affirmative action" allowances and money from foreign fat cats. He's an empty suit puppet running as a proxy candidate for foreign interests. The ignorance that spews from his mouth when the teleprompter is absent attests to his inherent ignorance.

[Lady GOP]

When all else fails send the "truth squad" after them..

Again civil rights, First Amendment...INSANE. Desparate attempt to secure PA and OH.

[Niuhuru]

“I suspect the Clintons made their academic achievements via actual merit and scholarship”

To be fair to the Clintons, that’s quite true. I don’t agree with their politics and actions, but they did work hard to get where they were and are.
