You can expect hardball in a presidential campaign, especially one in a country as divided as ours seems to be. But the kind of hardballs being pitched is an indication of the people and policies that an incoming administration will be employing.
That is why its particularly troubling that the Obama campaign has filed a criminal complaint against the people behind an ad being run that links Obama to avowed terrorist William Ayers.
Per Ben Smith's Blog at Politico:
It's worth noting that this isn't the first time Bauer has called for criminal investigations and prosecutions into the donors to independent groups critical of Obama, including one supporting John Edwards and another supporting Hillary Rodham Clinton. His words did have the effect of scaring their donors and consultants, but haven't yet appeared to result in any prosecution.
So it appears to be a standard strategy of the Obama team to threaten their political enemies with prison for being disrespectful of Obama. This is a tactic that is reminiscent of third world countries like the ones the Obama relatives are involved with in Africa.

Whinners don’t win.
I would expect that a President Obama would find new uses for laws enacted under the patriot act, RICO statutes, banking “know your customer” laws, and internet “net neutrality” regulations.
The Messiah is capable of do this.
Remember also Obama’s waffling around on the issue of war crimes trials once he pulls out of Iraq. He was unclear as to who would be put on trial.
I see a pattern emerging.
Young Pioneers.
Hitlerjungen.
Obamakorps.
Communists act like communists.
I think he’s using Ronnie Earle as a role model - except taken to this level Ronnie Earle will seem like a piker.
Notice that they aren’t disputing the allegation.
Paging Claire Wolfe: It’s time.
An excellent point.
