"I need you to go out and talk to your friends and talk to your neighbors," Barack Obama told a crowd in Elko, Nev. "I want you to talk to them whether they are independent or whether they are Republican. I want you to argue with them and get in their face." (Beyond that) They seem determined to shut people up.
That's what Obama supporters, alerted by campaign e-mails, did when conservative Stanley Kurtz appeared on Milt Rosenberg's WGN radio program in Chicago. Mr. Kurtz had been researching Mr. Obama's relationship with unrepentant Weather Underground terrorist William Ayers in Chicago Annenberg Challenge papers in the Richard J. Daley Library in Chicago - papers that were closed off to him for some days, apparently at the behest of Obama supporters.
Other Obama supporters have threatened critics with criminal prosecution. In September, St. Louis County Circuit Attorney Bob McCulloch and St. Louis City Circuit Attorney Jennifer Joyce warned citizens that they would bring criminal libel prosecutions against anyone who made statements against Mr. Obama that were "false." I had been under the impression that the Alien and Sedition Acts had gone out of existence in 1801-'02. Not so, apparently, in metropolitan St. Louis. Similarly, the Obama campaign called for a criminal investigation of the American Issues Project when it ran ads highlighting Mr. Obama's ties to Mr. Ayers.
These attempts to shut down political speech have become routine for liberals. Congressional Democrats sought to reimpose the "fairness doctrine" on broadcasters, which until it was repealed in the 1980s required equal time for different points of view. The motive was plain: to shut down the one conservative-leaning communications medium, talk radio. Liberal talk-show hosts have mostly failed to draw audiences, and many liberals can't abide having citizens hear contrary views.

On a very small note, my McCain/Palin sign was stolen yesterday and replaced by a Obama/Biden sign. Irksome, to say the least, but will be replacing it later today.

This is exactly what is going to accompany an Obama regime. This is Chicago politics writ large.
Or if Obama gets in, Chicago style oppression will go national.
She will remove her pink “Women for McCain/Palin” bumper sticker prior. The town is a freak show of rats, radicals, muzzies and faggots.
I truly enjoy and look forward to upcoming stories of rat vandals getting the sh!t kicked out of them.
“...rats, radicals, muzzies, and faggots.”
Wow. Angry much?
Well as a former resident of Tampa please stay the hell out—and maybe if you treated that wife of yours a little nicer you wouldn’t have so much mis-directed hostility.
He’s mad at PC. Obviously you aren’t.
“He’s mad at PC.”
No he’s not. He’s made at being a failure.
Of course he could respond instead of his lickspittle.

Well, we better develop a code on free republic. I am sure it will be monitored, and probably squelched.

Liberal thugocracy? Look at the election violence in Kenya. Look at how Corsi was harassed, detained, and infected?
Red America, you ain’t seen nothing yet. When Bolshevik Obama and his ACRONies take power, we’re damned.
Oh, I forgot to mention the drag queens, a Tampa specialty. BTW, my wife is a Tampa native and only visits reluctantly. You can have the place. You apparently fit in.
