Ho hum: Obama’s lawyer threatens TV stations that run NRA ad

I’m surprised. Usually in cases like this, Obama has his cult followers inundate the offending station with irate, semi-coherent phone calls, like they did recently to try to knock hatemongering smear merchant David Freddoso off the air for the crime of committing journalism critical of The One. For whatever reason they’ve decided that won’t work here, so they’re opting for Plan B. Straight out of the Democratic handbook Harry Reid used to threaten ABC’s broadcast license for showing the “Path to 9/11,” here’s Obama lawyer Robert Bauer warning station managers not to air the NRA’s new anti-Obama “Hunter” ad if they want to stay in the FCC’s good graces.

What else would one expect from Communists?

[cookcounty]

...on what grounds?

[TheWasteLand]

Trampling the 1st Amendment to cover up their trampling of the 2nd Amendment.

You know, I am getting really sick of these idiots in Congress. They don’t listen to the people. It’s time to get rid of all of them including Obama.

[NoobRep]

I would swear after reading they try to squelch free speech, that I was in a time warp back to communist Russia.

Hey Bauer, go suck your own ass pal. And take that Marxist fool client of yours and his butt buddy Bill Ayers with you.

I don’t think Obambi can out threaten the NRA on any TV station. The guy does not understand America.

Sounds like extortion to me . The NRA should take the guy to the woodshed and sue his a$$ to boot !

Obama is running an ad in our area. It starts with the “I approved this ad” line then a former NFL player says both O and Mac will make sure we keep our guns, but what about the rest, losing jobs, lobbyists, and O will give each family a 1000 dollar tax relief.

Pretty strong statement about guns, but he doesn't say it someone else does. Kind of the opposite of ‘bitter clingers’ I would say.

A knock on the door at 3:00 am and a bullet behind the ear.

I know . . . just give them time.

You just lost 0bie!!!!.....

BIG TIME !!!!!!!!..

[Proud2BeRight]

Impressive. Two Amendments in one assault. They are getting better at savaging our rights as the campaign goes on.

Agree totally! And if they sue it right off, it would make it easier for him to do as instructed by NoobRep:

Hey Bauer, go suck your own ass pal. And take that Marxist fool client of yours and his butt buddy Bill Ayers with you.

I read Bauer’s letter... I have to laugh when he says that people would have nothing to fear in regards to keeping their guns with an Obama Administration.

In Obama’s own words:

“I believe in keeping guns out of our inner cities, and that our leaders must say so in the face of the gun manfuacturer’s lobby.”

PANIC

[AmericanMade1776]

Obama doesn’t take honest criticism very well.

[MrBambaLaMamba]

Obama is the Mahdi!

[meyer]

Suing, or threatening to do so isn’t going to silence the NRA.

WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!! WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!
