Michigan Democrat Rep. Gary Peters threatens TV station licenses over Obamacare ad
Washington Examiner ^ | 2/22/14 | Charles Hoskinson

Posted on 02/23/2014 4:41:10 AM PST by Libloather

While Julie Boonstra of Dexter, Mich., struggles to survive leukemia, she now also has to cope with being called a liar by the Democrat who wants to be her next senator.

And the campaign of Rep. Gary Peters is also going after television stations airing ads in which her story is featured, threatening their licenses.

The ad by Americans for Prosperity features Boonstra talking about how her insurance was canceled under Obamacare and saying that Peters' decision to vote for the law "jeopardized my health." The ads are airing in Michigan as Peters seeks the Democratic nomination to replace Sen. Carl Levin, D-Mich., who is not seeking re-election.

JUST A FRIENDLY SUGGESTION: Gary Peters should get
professional help---he appears to be having bouts of schizophrenia.

BACKSTORY Democrat Peters was once all gaga over Obamacare---dripping w/ pride b/c he had voted in lockstep with fellow Democrats to enact the "Big Effin' Deal" (as Joe Biden called it).

GO FIGURE Now Peters is toying with the First Amendment---
threatening TV station licenses over an Obamacare ad.

Peters is so unappreciative---heck, Joe Biden came to Detroit---Raising Money for Cong Gary Peters’ Senate Race. (Jonathan Oosting, “VP Joe Biden To Do Fundraiser For Gary Peters,” MLive, 1/15/14)

Peters Is A Loyal Lock-stepping Democrat---he Voted With Obama 90 Percent Of The Time. (Democrat Rep. Gary Peters, Congressional Quarterly, Accessed 1/15/14)

WHILE LOCK-STEPPING PETERS PROBABLY APPRECIATES THE BIDEN CASH, HE LIKELY ISN’T A FAN OF WHAT THE OBAMA-BIDEN AGENDA HAS DONE TO HIS POLLING NUMBERS---b/c Michiganders Opposition To ObamaCare Is Driving Down Peters’ Poll Numbers.

Imagine what threats and paybacks that SOB will indulge in if elected.

I am not one for clogging up the courts with frivolous lawsuits, but if there is some way to personally drain his finances because of his threats, do it.

PETERS IS JUST ANOTHER VOTE-CRAZED
DEMOCRAT LAB SPECIMEN GOING BALLISTIC

I am not one for clogging up the courts with frivolous lawsuits, but there must be some way to personally drain Peters' finances because of his threats....bigtime payback should happen to the SOB if Repubs takeover.

Amen.

“Is it still racist to say banana Republic?”

It’s still “racist” to say anything at all.

IMHO

If you really want to see Peters fall apart---reduced to a dribbling blithering idiot.......

....... have his debate opponent ask Gary when Obama is coming to Michigan to campaign for him and the Democrat team.

ROTFLOL.
