Obama Campaign Threatens Jihad Against TV Stations That Air Weathermen Ad
Monday, August 25, 2008 | Kristinn

Posted on 08/25/2008 3:22:21 PM PDT by kristinn

The campaign of Democratic presidential nominee in waiting Barack Obama is threatening TV stations that dare to run a controversial ad that questions Obama's friendship with unrepentant Weather Underground terrorist Bill Ayers.

Politico quotes an Obama aide as saying this afternoon, "The Obama campaign plans to punish the stations that air the ad financially, organizing his supporters to target the stations that air it and their advertisers."

Politico has posted copies of letters the Obama campaign has sent to station managers and a letter the campaign has sent to the Department of Justice demanding a criminal investigation of the group that is running the ads, American Issues Project.

At the same time, the Obama campaign has released an ad respoonding to the Weathermen ad claiming Ayers' acts of terrorism happened when Obama was a child and that he has denounced the actions of Ayers.

The Obama campaign claims its supporters have sent 93,000 e-mails to the Sinclair Broadcast Group, which is airing the Weathermen ad. Sinclair faced similar threats in 2004 when it announced plans to air a critical documentary about John Kerry.

The Obama campaign is unleashing an unprecedented attack against First Amendment rights personally directed by a leading presidential candidate. Should he become president and actually have the power to carry out these threats, the Nation will be pushed to a perilous precipice.

Obama is part crybaby, part blustering Chicago thug, and 100% marxist.

Does this fool think that he is already president?

By what means could he punish them? Say bad things about their mother?

Conclusion of the Politico.com article:

McCain’s camp, meanwhile, appears to welcome the controversy.

“The fact that [Obama] is launching his own convention by defending his long association with a man who says he didn't bomb enough U.S. targets tells us more about Barack Obama than any of tonight's speeches will,” said McCain spokesman Brian Rogers.

Liking John McCain more and more lately.

As always...Obama's reaction to something he does not like is worse that what he wanted stopped. He doesn't like the ad...awww...so he wants to blackmail the stations if they show them. Keep letting us see your weaknesses, Obama, and just how you are going to control the people in this country by taking away their Constitutional rights. There are many Americans, mostly your supporters, who do not understand the implications of your Marxist/Communist like ruling style. You have adopted the worst of those governing types.

Many younger people in this country are unaware of history and maybe don't have a clear comprehension of who Marx or Lenin, or Stalin, or Hitler were - or even understand Castro and Saddam Hussein's mentalities and manipulative, power-hungry type of leadership. Some have little knowledge of how they dictated and controlled their people, and what happened to their countries. You are obviously counting on their ignorance as you swoop up your unknowing admirers with platitudes of "change" and "hope." But, when the change becomes that they are told they cannot say or read or write something because you do not permit it, that is the first clue that you are not going to let them have the America they want, with the freedoms they have enjoyed. And they will not stand for that. You will have a "change" on your hands, alright...it will be a revolution!

You were an unknown when you were hiding inside your Pandora's box - now all the bad demons you possess are coming out. Just as with all dictators, your first target is to do away with anyone's right to criticize you, your family, your associates - or to question your past and present actions and affiliations. Sounds pretty scary to most people.

What next...will we see huge Barack Huessein statues all over, posters on every building, flyers all over with your pictures? You are really living up to your namesake - Saddam Huessein. Well your antics will not serve you well. You are continuing to expose yourself as the dictating, bully and weakling you are, and we see all the insecurities you have. We are seeing the manipulative BHO who wants to lead the most important country in the world, and says he wants to be a "uniter" but who can't take a little criticism himself.

Obama, if you cannot even handle political campaign advertising that is not favorable how in the world are you going to handle threats and protect us from other countries who want to run us over? They don't talk nicely when they want to attack us! Will you tell them you will shut them down if they aren't nice to you?

Barack Huessein - you don't deserve a chair in the Oval Office...you need a couch in the psychiatrist's office to help you deal with what is obviously an overwhelming problem of low self-esteem covered up with thick narcissistic behavior. Obviously this stems from your dysfunctional and confused family heritage and being abandoned first by your father, then your mother, and left to try to find an identity for yourself. Get yourself well, man, then talk about running this country before you prepare to try and ruin it!

Just saw this. Is Barry Barack Hussein Osama Obama, by issuing a Jihad directive, threatening to saw heads off of those who raise opposition against his deity?

Wasn't it already determined this BASTA#D was not a radical Islamist terrorist? Or was that missed? I WANT TO SEE THIS PIECE OF CRAT's GENUINE BIRTH CERTIFICATE.
