Homes raided, subpoenas issued targeting conservative groups and allies of Scott Walker

In Wisconsin, dozens of conservative groups and allies of Gov. Scott Walker are undergoing political intimidation from the left at the hands of a special prosecutor.

Subpoenas have been issued demanding correspondence and donor information of right-leaning organizations and individuals and raids have been conducted resulting in law enforcement officers taking computers and files in a secret investigation, according to reports.

“In recent weeks, special prosecutor Francis Schmitz has hit dozens of conservative groups with subpoenas demanding documents related to the 2011 and 2012 campaigns to recall Governor Walker and state legislative leaders,” the Wall Street Journal writes.

It continues, “Copies of two subpoenas we’ve seen demand ‘all memoranda, email . . . correspondence, and communications’ both internally and between the subpoena target and some 29 conservative groups, including Wisconsin and national nonprofits, political vendors and party committees. The groups include the League of American Voters, Wisconsin Family Action, Wisconsin Manufacturers & Commerce, Americans for Prosperity—Wisconsin, American Crossroads, the Republican Governors Association, Friends of Scott Walker and the Republican Party of Wisconsin.”

The WSJ says the latest actions are taking place under Wisconsin’s John Doe law, which makes it difficult for the groups involved to defend themselves publicly.

Folks, this is fascism in America. A special prosecutor targeting political and social conservatives has run amuck.

Wisconsin today, we KNOW the Clown in D.C. was doing it via the IRS and DOJ.

Can we stop it?

This only the tip of the iceberg. Expect a lot more to come as Obama’s ratings go further in the toilet and democrats, as a whole, are see as they really are...NAZIS!

On what grounds do they do this? what laws have been broken? what conspiracy is there but two political forces at logger heads? The difference is one force has been operating with impunity to silence and criminalize the other... The Obama police state against common God fearing Americans. Had enough yet?

The fact is that Obama and his running dog community worker/union net work are indeed nationalist socialists ( fascists). Obama passes any historical test showing he is fascists. Youare absolutely correct:

I was wondering recently (actually thinking of the guillotine after reading that Islamists wanted to behead their victims kindly) how France made the turn toward the Reign of Terror and whether it could happen here. It’s easy to see that Dean Nickel is Robespierre with a transparent disguise.

We are living the same tactics that were used by Hitler. The mob raids that are organized on Obamaphones are patterned after Hitler’s Youth. Also, the nation wide Knock-Out attacks are executed by Obama worshippers.

Between 2001-2009 dissent was patriotic according to democrats and the democratic media.From 2009-present dissent is racist,illegitimate,criminal,and treasonous. The right people with the right ideas are finally in charge and anyone stopping the forward progress of socialism is committing a crime against history.
First go after the conservative groups denying them any tax status,then levy massive fines and seize their assets, turning those over to the right people of course.If that doesn’t eliminate dissent then we can imprison the members for tax law violations until we can build a case with the masses that some speech should be considered “out of bounds” and those people who don’t get with the program need to be isolated from society for the good of the social order.

Smells like one of Valerie Jarrett’s “paybacks” is in motion.

Since the pigs have found the welfare trough, nothing short of a “watering the tree of freedom with the blood of patriots” can turn them around.

Sad but true.
