Where are all the free-speech absolutists when you need them?
Over the past month, left-wing partisans and Democrat lawyers have waged a brass-knuckled intimidation campaign against GOP donors, TV and radio stations, and even an investigative journalist because they have all dared to question the radical cult of Barack Obama. A chilly wind blows, but where the valiant protectors of political dissent are, nobody knows.
On Aug. 11, I called the American Civil Liberties Union national headquarters in New York for comment about the Chicago gangland tactics of one of these groups -- a nonprofit called Accountable America that is spearheaded by a former operative of the Obama-endorsing MoveOn outfit.
Accountable America is trolling campaign finance databases and targeting conservative donors with "warning" letters in a thuggish attempt to depress Republican fundraising.
The ACLU press office failed to respond to my initial call. On Aug. 13, I followed up through e-mail:
"I called on Monday requesting a statement from the ACLU about Accountable America's intimidation campaign against GOP donors. What is the ACLU's position with regard to such efforts? Waiting for your statement ... ."
ACLU press officer Pamela Bradshaw e-mailed back: "Michelle, My apologies that I cannot be of more assistance, but we don't have anyone available. Thanks, Pam."

Free speech is not a priority for the ACLU.
Send her back an email saying you heard someone from the Obama campaign praying--a stretch, sure, but you're sure to get a quick response!
No bigger assault on Free Speech this year than obambi’s attacks against Larry Sinclair, his alleged cocaine and sex partner in 1999.
But

The faux Marxist front group...the ACLU.
Indeed...
and while we’re on the subject of B. Hussein Obama destroying freedoms - please forgive me , I SHOULD know the answer to this:
WTH is the deal with his middle name? Why is everyone, even Rush, not willing to say his middle name aloud? What powers have come to bear to create this silence?
He is not even yet elected and already critics dare not speak his name.
Well, his middle name is Hussein...but I do think it's a poor avenue to go after him. The guy is a flaming Marxist, liar, racist hypocrite. The dems seem to have found a candidate that is entirely devoid of positive attribute. How they could find someone so unsuited and undesirable to represent their party is breathtakingly stunning.
