Obama Campaign Threatens Jihad Against TV Stations That Air Weathermen Ad

The campaign of Democratic presidential nominee in waiting Barack Obama is threatening TV stations that dare to run a controversial ad that questions Obama's friendship with unrepentant Weather Underground terrorist Bill Ayers.

Politico quotes an Obama aide as saying this afternoon, "The Obama campaign plans to punish the stations that air the ad financially, organizing his supporters to target the stations that air it and their advertisers."

Politico has posted copies of letters the Obama campaign has sent to station managers and a letter the campaign has sent to the Department of Justice demanding a criminal investigation of the group that is running the ads, American Issues Project.

At the same time, the Obama campaign has released an ad respoonding to the Weathermen ad claiming Ayers' acts of terrorism happened when Obama was a child and that he has denounced the actions of Ayers.

The Obama campaign claims its supporters have sent 93,000 e-mails to the Sinclair Broadcast Group, which is airing the Weathermen ad. Sinclair faced similar threats in 2004 when it announced plans to air a critical documentary about John Kerry.

The Obama campaign is unleashing an unprecedented attack against First Amendment rights personally directed by a leading presidential candidate. Should he become president and actually have the power to carry out these threats, the Nation will be pushed to a perilous precipice.

I was one of the 93,000. I can promise you that what I wrote wasn’t what Obama’s campaign wanted me to write.

Typical of the left. Miscalculation of who needs whom more.

Stalinist’s

Sue for defamation, Mr. Obama. Then you’re not attacking free speech using government power. Like that is going to happen...

Hehehe...these idiots are creating a pent up DEMAND for the very ad they are trying to squelch.

Pretty soon stations will run it just because so many people want to know what the big fuss is all about.

THE AUDACITY OF TRUTH ABOUT BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA

[EagleUSA]

Oppressive little Muslim Marxist, ain’t he??

[LibertyRocks]

So much for “truth” and “tolerance” they claim... They are spinning their wheels trying to figure out how to keep quiet the fact that this whole campaign is filled with Communist/Maoist/Guevera-ite/Marxist Radicals (and of course, terrorists).

It really tees me off that his supporters can’t see the incredible hypocrisy these actions represent. You are right - should Obama become President and have any real power you can bet that this will be the MO of his administration. “You can’t print anything I don’t approve of or you’ll be kicked out of the White House Press Corp. etc... etc...” Not to mention the whole “Fairness Doctrine”. One can only imagine the utter destruction of the 1st Amendment if they get their way... Scary, indeed!

[Jeff Head]

All he has is the Stalinist, government power option. He can’t sue for defamation because it is all true.

So what’s the fascist going to do if every major network plays the ad - pull all TV advertising? Talk about cutting off your nose to spite your face....

[big'ol_freeper]

When are his campaign staffers going to begin wearing their brown shirts? Or is he saving that for his quasi-military organization?

OK, if you insist.

Sometimes I wonder about these Socialists. When you are stealing bread from the baker, it is probably not considered wise to ask the police to investigate the bakery.
