For all the entirely false rumors about Mayor Palin banning books from the Wasilla library, the only candidate using agencies of the state to suppress views with which he disagrees remains Barack Obama. In Missouri, the Senator has managed to enlist various county officials to threaten TV stations running "untrue" anti-Obama ads. The Governor, Matt Blunt, responds:
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... Enlisting Missouri law enforcement to intimidate people and kill free debate is reminiscent of the Sedition Acts - not a free society.
As Stanley Kurtz, Milt Rosenberg and David Freddoso can tell you, this pattern is well established: The Obama campaign's response to uncongenial allegations is not to rebut them but to use its muscle to squash the authors. This is especially true when it comes to attempts to lift the curtain however briefly on the Senator's mysterious past. The New York Times' general line on the Obama candidacy may approximate that of Bagehot on the British monarchy ("we must not let daylight in upon magic"), but the last time I checked that was not yet constitutionally enshrined.
Throughout my travails this last year with Canada's capricious, totalitarian "human rights" commissions, I have expressed my appreciation for America's First Amendment. Free societies do not criminalize opinion. What Obama is doing via pliable Missouri public officials is disgusting - and a revealng portent of what his Administration would do to its [political] enemies.
Obama is simply exercising his Muslim right to censor opponents. Remember the Muslim cartoon hysterics? Remember Muslims using our own freedoms against us? This is just more Muslim intimidation.
The Obamabot loons have hijacked the two threads on this subject at the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. Please help out to refute their disgusting bile.
another dirty little secret....McCarthy had it RIGHT....those people were working against the govt....I know this for two reasons....my mom said it was true, and she lived thru that time....and a few years ago some of these commies were on the radio and basically said they were communist sympathizers...
its here folks.....
Hence the popularity of Obama with Canadian intelligentsia. I heard a CBC radio program this morning hosted by a Michael Enright. His guest was American author, Susan Jacoby (The Age of American Unreason- Knopf). Any conservative would not seek to hide this woman's book, nor indulge in futile threats. She spewed a cynical, elistist number on American "rightist intellectuals". Canadian professorial types, also on with Enright and Jacoby spewing out their elitist views. Threw in a smack at McCain an then Stephen Harper. As Rush Limbaugh urges- defeat 'em in the war of ideas.
By the by, I learn that old Random House publishing people, in refusing to publish the book on Mohammed and his pedophilia, are safe. The North London, England publishers of it, has just been fire bombed.
In his(Obama) soul, does a little of Islamic intolerance lurk? I wonder.

Molotov cocktail type bomb pushed through letter box of Publisher's home cum workplace.Islington, (My birthplace exactly today many moons ago). No one hurt apparently. Three men quickly arrested. No names as yet. Muslim clerics in London warn of more to come.
What?
In MY opinion:
Then you can....
Come And Get Me Coppers!
Do you suppose this effort has anything to do with the fact that the veep debate is in St. Louis?
Go back to your mom’s basement.
We better work VERY hard so that Obama is not elected POTUS or it could be the end of our country as we know it.
And the Venona Files, from the Soviet Union, largely corroborated both McCarthy and your mother.
Obama will take our guns too!
Thanks to Anti-Bubba182 for pinging me.
Now be realistic. Obama wouldn’t want to emulate Bush in any way, or he would be an evil extension of Bush doctrines.
We know Commies and Conservatives disagree!
Obama Says A Baby Is A Punishment Obama: If they make a mistake, I dont want them punished with a baby.
I just came back and saw skoal bandits reply.
He should be zotted, just as quickly as his leftist buddies would zot us if we went to DUmmies unlimited and posted something ignorant like his left brain struggled to type.
McCain should not have allowed him to call him a Liar, and should have plainly and forcefully told Obama that his statements are a part of public record and in the proper context, and not to call him a liar again!
The time for civility with such callous liars as Democrats has ended, and McCain has to pull of the gloves on this crap, or either walk off and let Obama have the presidency!
Hey John: do you really want to be President or not?
Don't let this light weight commie lib call you a liar again!
