Obama's "Truth Police" in Missouri takin' care of business

[myrockfight]

I was wondering what you guys thought of this. It really reeks of the scary tactics used by God knows how many dictators. It raised my eyebrows a little bit. It would be interesting to see a follow up and see what actually has occured.

Just saw that through Drudge.  That is the most frightening thing I have heard this year.   What will he do in office?

So, those officials are siding with Obama and are using their offices to insure that the "truth" about his campaign gets out?

That's one of the more disgusting things I've heard.

Shades of the Clinton shenanigans with FBI files?  But I thought he was a new kind of politician.

Preview of an Obama administration.

If you know much about Chicago politics, that's just business as usual. Level II is unfortunate...accidents.

And the economic corollary is gangstanomics.

Since these "Law enforcement officials" are obviously Democrats, It'll be ok for them or Obama's campaign to lie about McCain, no?

Gov. Blunt Statement on Obama Campaigns 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 Jeffersons 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.

Thylacine. Good post. That is exactly what I was looking for. I hope Obama doesn't have a serious chance at this election. But my word. You will never see this stuff on the general news. I would love to hear it there though. Hopefully it turns out to be too big of a story to keep quiet with. I'll cross my fingers!

How unfortunate is it that we have to hear this crap.

Hard to believe anyone would vote for him, this needs to get out far and wide!

LETS SAY, someone gets shot resisting arrest, any predictions?
