Washington Times reports Obama’s attack against WGN and political speech

Great News! The Washington Times reports on Obama’s attempt to silence political speech being aired on WGN! See: First Amendment targeted

"When the heavy hand of the state is imposed on the press, all of us lose," Barack Obama told a group of Kenyan journalists during an August 2006 trip to Africa.

Snip……..

Mr. Obama's remarks implied he supports the First Amendment. His comment that "Democracy can't function properly without a free press," suggested he understood the importance of robust scrutiny of elected officials. Yet, when given the opportunity, Mr. Obama's recent actions have contradicted his own statements.

Snip…..

Another Obama target is Chicago radio station WGN. The source of Mr. Obama's ire is talk-show host Stanley Kurtz who is no Friend of Barry. The Obama campaign has urged supporters to attack WGN for permitting Mr. Kurtz to practice his profession.

________________

NOTE: Milt Rosenberg was the host and Kurtz the guest.

Give your support to the Washington Times and Fox News for pointing a just finger at Obama’s attempt to silence political speech.

It’s sad to say that our establishment big media [NBC, CBS, ABC CNN, MSNBC , The New York Times, The Washington Post, etc., ] have ignored this story, which ought to be front page news across the nation as it exposes the real Barack the-silencer-of-political-speech Obama,

Hey Joey tight-lipped Biden, how do you feel about your running mate trying to shut down a talk radio show? Do you approve of Obama’s un-American strong arm tactics?
