Gloves off: Now, Obama calls for prosecuting GOP donor

By Michelle Malkin  •  August 26, 2008 04:41 PM

I noted this morning that the Obama campaign’s Chicago-style thug effort to shut down the independent ad on Bill Ayers is part of the larger effort to intimidate conservative donors and curtail the free speech of The One’s critics.

It’s getting uglier, people.

Obama’s lawyer has sent a second letter to the Justice Department calling for the head of Dallas billionare Harold Simmons, who funded the Ayers ad that the Obama campaign doesn’t want the public to see.

Feel the chill:

Obama general counsel Bob Bauer today sent a second, sharper letter to the Justice Department, directly attacking the Dallas billionaire funding a harsh attack ad, Harold Simmons.

“We reiterate our request that the Department of Justice fulfill its commitment to take prompt action to investigate and to prosecute the American issues Project, and we further request that the Department of Justice investigate and prosecute Howard (sic) Simmons for a knowing and willful violation of the individual aggregate contribution limits,” he wrote.

He called the group’s activities “patently illegal.”

Bauer made the case that Simmons’ group [is not] fulfilling its [...] nonprofit charter because it hasn’t spent any money on anything other than attacking Obama. Simmons’ spokesman, Christian Pinkston, told me yesterday that plans to, and dismissed the complaints as an effort to lawyer away charges the campaign can’t rebut.

Compared to Obama, Hillary is a shining white light! I'm beginning to believe that Obama IS the Greater Evil.

As for Ayers, why, at the very least, he is not locked up in a high security prison for the rest of his life is beyond my understanding.

Technicality.

What exactly that technicality was, I don't know. Why the school which continues to pay him continues to pay him, I have no idea!!

No real surprises here.

When Obama was first starting to get effectively criticized, his campaign put out the warning that "This candidate would NOT be Swift-boated". A vigorous response was promised to all who would dare. They are doing exactly what they said they would.

Obama might be trying to act like middle America this week in public, but in private he remains a red-diaper baby, mentored by Frank Marshall Davis (CPUSA), tutored in the tactics of Saul AAulisnky (CPUSA). when push comes to shove, kinsman of Raila Odinga the Kenyan tribe loyalist communist and Islamist ally, who having lost and election started a small scale civil war, until the position of Prime Minister was created for him.

I guess it remains to be seen what Bambi does if (when) he loses - will he attempt to start a small war?

A coup d'état?

Thanks. There seems to be two versions out there (at least). One with about 18,000 views and another with 79,486. I wonder how many people have watched MSNBC in the past two days.

BHO’s attempt to censor the ad have given in millions in free publicity and increased the prominence of the American Issues Project which has no doubt been good for their fundraising efforts.

More importantly it has increased the perception that Obama is thin skinned, arrogant and insecure.

It is very important that we get wide distribution of the YouTube version of this video. Here is a link that shows all of the YouTube postings of the video:

"Know Enough" Video on YouTube

After 5 days we are well over 160,000 views if you add up the various postings of the video. This needs to get into the millions and should.

E-mail the link to everyone you know - particularly your Democrat friends.

WOW!

That ad is devastating! And it’s all true. This is why I told people to focus on real issues like this one instead of the birth certificate fiasco. Not because I love Obama, but because there are plenty of 100% accurate things to attack him on.

How many stations is it airing on?

The ramifications of no eligibility is a torpedo.
The fraudulent documents and representation is a 20mm shell.
The Ayers connection is a 50BMG.
It pays to go in with overwhelming force from all directions.

If I can get a copy of the ad, I’ll post it on my Web site as an act of intentional disrespect and contempt for this lying two-bit fraud.
