FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Saturday, September 27, 2008 Contact: Jessica Robinson, 573-751-0290 Gov. Blunt Statement on Obama Campaign’s Abusive Use of Missouri Law Enforcement
JEFFERSON CITY - Gov. Matt Blunt today issued the following statement on news reports that have exposed plans by U.S. Senator Barack Obama to use Missouri law enforcement to threaten and intimidate his critics.
“St. Louis County Circuit Attorney Bob McCulloch, St. Louis City Circuit Attorney Jennifer Joyce, Jefferson County Sheriff Glenn Boyer, and Obama and the leader of his Missouri campaign Senator Claire McCaskill have attached the stench of police state tactics to the Obama-Biden campaign.
“What Senator Obama and his helpers are doing is scandalous beyond words, the party that claims to be the party of Thomas Jefferson is abusing the justice system and offices of public trust to silence political criticism with threats of prosecution and criminal punishment.
“This abuse of the law for intimidation insults the most sacred principles and ideals of Jefferson. I can think of nothing more offensive to Jefferson’s thinking than using the power of the state to deprive Americans of their civil rights. The only conceivable purpose of Messrs. McCulloch, Obama and the others is to frighten people away from expressing themselves, to chill free and open debate, to suppress support and donations to conservative organizations targeted by this anti-civil rights, to strangle criticism of Mr. Obama, to suppress ads about his support of higher taxes, and to choke out criticism on television, radio, the Internet, blogs, e-mail and daily conversation about the election.
“Barack Obama needs to grow up. Leftist blogs and others in the press constantly say false things about me and my family. Usually, we ignore false and scurrilous accusations because the purveyors have no credibility. When necessary, we refute them. Enlisting Missouri law enforcement to intimidate people and kill free debate is reminiscent of the Sedition Acts - not a free society.”
I’m very pleased to hear this as I planned to call Gov. Blunt’s office on Monday . . . and I still will.
And also The Missouri Bar.
BTTT
They were devious, OK.
Now stop asking questions. We have ways of dealing with people like you. (zot)
Reading the posts it doesn’t look like he can. I’d like to think he could at least initiate a state investigation and maybe the pressure will force them to resign.
Exactly, as one of their own from Missouri said: can't take the heat get out of the kitchen.
Amen to that.
Though 'Rats ought to be condemning Barry's Gestapo tactics as well. Their silence speaks volumes.
TO ALL:
This is VERY SERIOUS and needs to be nipped in the bud NOW by ANY and ALL LEGAL means at our disposal!
The nasty little fascist and his brawn shirts must be stopped!
Perhaps the United States Department of Justice can be encouraged to look into this.

Does this mean that reporters from CBS, CNN, NBC, MSNB et al can be arrested for they have been distorting the truth this whole election ?
Obama and his lemmings are absolute pigs. This is SO telling about who they really are.
I hope Rush, Gallagher, et al raise Holy Hell about this. Spread the word.
These people are truly dangerous and have no concern for anyone but themselves.
Yeah well Blunt is a racist, sexist, homophobic fascist!
(/sarcasm)
And if Obama gets his million man brown shirts, the other 299 million of us will fight them to the death if necessary.

I feel so sick right now after having read this. This “man” would be a menace. He would bring about atrocities that we have never imagined happening in our Country.
This is not his nature.
This is affirmative action on steroids.
That’s it on the head my friend.Obama is a communist is I’ve ever seen one. Are you listening all you Freepers who want to sit this one out because your man isn’t in the race. We HAVE to beat Obama at ALL COST.I never though I’d live to see the day .
That was my next though as well. What is he going to DO about it now ?
I’ve sent this as a tinyurl http://tinyurl.com/4aqvao

Around to my group. I’m sure the die-hards won’t believe it’s true.
But . . . the lie that McCain is another Bush is so ingrained in their DNA, it’ll be hard for them to accept the truth about Obama.
