In a surprising attempt to stifle broadcast criticism of its candidate, the presidential campaign of freshman Illinois senator Barack Obama is organizing supporters to confront Chicago's WGN radio station for having a critic of the Illinois Democrat on its main evening discussion program.

"WGN radio is giving right-wing hatchet man Stanley Kurtz a forum to air his baseless, fear-mongering terrorist smears," Obama's campaign wrote in an e-mail sent to supporters. "He's currently scheduled to spend a solid two-hour block from 9:00 to 11:00 p.m. (Wednesday night) pushing lies, distortions, and manipulations about Barack and University of Illinois professor William Ayers."

A small sample of whit this evil Communist will do if he's elected.

"WGN radio is giving right-wing hatchet man Stanley Kurtz a forum to air his baseless, fear-mongering terrorist smears,"

As opposed to the MSM which gives 24/7 airing of left-wing fear-mongering and smears.

there was a steady stream of oba mao supporters e-mailing and calling into the wgn show last night.

Whenever I think “Right Wing Hate Machine”, I’m thinking WGN Radio.

[Psycho_Bunny]

The liberal Hypocrats are out in full force.

[KeyLargo]

WGN owned by Tribune (Big lib media)does whatever the Dims demand.

All of Chicago media is in the tank for Obama.

the school later reserved its position and opened the records Tuesday

I think the writer meant reversed. I know, I know -- it happens. It's just that the meaning is rather askew.

As an observer of the American scene for many years, I am not at all surprised. The Left always attempts to silence people who disagree with them. They were doing it when I was in college forty years ago. They’ve been doing it in every institution they’ve been in. It’s what they do.

I wonder if the Annenberg Foundation has any bundled donations from the $1.6 million in cash stolen from the 1981 Brinks heist.

Below is a link to the podcast show last night. It’s long, but if you get a chance, at least listen to some of the Obama callers. The calls start around the 52 minute mark (then off and on for rest of show). Trust me, you’ll be entertained.

‘All of Chicago media is in the tank for Obama.”

As Mike Murphy said on MSNBC last night, “This broadcast is far in the tank (for Obama), we should be doing it in a submarine.”

“there was a steady stream of oba mao supporters e-mailing and calling into the wgn show last night.”

It was hilarious. See my links to show podcast in post #11. I had to listen to those callers again.

Drip...Drip...drip...

WSJ and now LATIMES hinting at what’s coming folks. Obama’s Temple is about to come crashing down around his head.

[ReleaseTheHounds]

Good for WGN radio for attempting to air some of this information. This is a great example of the LEFT trying to squelch and manipulate information vital to an informed electorate and to keep citizens ignorant (as my tagline notes, and I consider Democrats to be the perfect definition of “demagogues”). WGN stands for “World Greatest Newspaper” back when the Trib was conservative and it was a great newspaper. It will never make a comeback but glad to see old WGN radio holding up in the whithering attacks of the lousy libs lefties and commie sympathizers.

thank you.

Barack Obama's historic Democratic convention speech on Thursday night is to give yourself up to profound emotion and to join others in common passion and release, then guzzle some hopium and enjoy. Or you can enrich the experience by reading "The Case Against Barack Obama: The Unlikely Rise and Unexamined Agenda of the Media's Favorite Candidate" by David Freddoso. Freddoso's book, on the best-seller lists, is the anti-hopium. It is the pin of reason to the Obama balloon. "It tells us that in contrast with the image that his campaign is spending millions of dollars to put forth, that the idea of Sen. Obama as a reformer, as an agent of positive change, is a great lie," Freddoso told me of his book. "And the veneer of ideological reasonableness about him is misleading because he is reflexively a liberal." It examines Obama's tacit acceptance of the corrupt politics of Chicago and Illinois, his endorsements of unqualified Democratic machine creatures to secure the machine's blessing, his use of technicalities in state ethics legislation to bury potential conflicts of interest, and his dealings with Tony Rezko, now convicted, and with City Hall-friendly developer Allison Davis.....

Let it hereby be known among all men:

"The people of tolerance will not tolerate any ill word spoken against them. Be it further known that any such personal proclamations are forbidden by the state and will be punished. Punishment could result in being sentenced to the gas chambers for reeducation."
