“Liberals don’t believe in the First Amendment”. Some do, but they have been put on the Endangered Species List.

We are now dealing with hardcore communists, marxists, socialists, psychopaths, and delusional masses who would feel right at home with Hitler at the 1936 Olympics or Stalin at Yalta.

Instead of a black-jackboot on free speech, we are getting a red-jackboot, led by Obama’s lawyer Bauer.

If Obama wins, the last movie a conservative film-maker will make before they take him off to the PC gulag will be entitled “Chicago Radio - A Taste of Things to Come”

The fear is understandable but I remember in reading Whittaker Chambers’ autobiograpy Witness a similar situation. Similar in that he was a target. He he had to be in hiding for awhile. He knew at one point that he had to “get visible” to be safe, especially for the sake of his wife and children. Kurtz is visible now and anything that “happens” will now be noticed by a LOT of people. Me, being a nobody, won’t be missed if I “disappear”. Okay...my dog might miss me ‘cause I feed him.

Good point.However, just as you alluded to, the ‘nobody’ researchers and bloggers working on this stuff may not be as ‘safe’ and Kurtz should not feel ‘safe’ just because it is ‘out there’ now.

Here we have a candidate for President sending out emails to his millions of supporters calling on them to ‘stop’ the people spreading ‘smears’. That is unprecedented in the history of our country and very very scary imho.

It is one thing for a Move On type activist group to organize email campaigns etc. and quite another for a Presidential campaign to do it.

We know from the past 8 years (and longer) that the people who support democrats are angry, seething and often unhinged.

There is a chill in the air of free speech and if the democrats sweep all 3 branches...the race will be on to shut down conservative voices all together.

Agree!

There’s no guarantee of safety for anyone (especially for the “nobodies”). The “Friends” of Bill list came to mind (F.O.B.) and wondered if a new list will be made....The Foes of Barry.

Obama`s brown shirts attack WGN to silence political speech

Has anyone seen THIS

SHUT UP, THEY EXPLAINED (AGAIN)
By Charlie Sykes
Story Created: Aug 28, 2008
Story Updated: Aug 28, 2008

Truly extraordinary story about the Obama campaign's attempt to intimidate and bully WGN into not airing a segment with writer Stanley Kurtz, who has been documenting Obama's ties to the unrepentant Weather Underground terrorist William Ayers.”

Question is, is Obama’s Intimidation Tactics used to silence talk radio not a very good indication that if he were to get elected he will use the IRS, the Department of Justice, and any other government tool at his disposal to attack every media source and every individual which exposes his doings, and would especially use the force of government to mount a chilling attack on conservative talk show hosts such as Larry Elder, Ken Hamblin, Ann Coulter, Rush Limbaugh, Laura Ingraham, Glenn Beck, Bill O’Reilly, Sean Hannity, Michelle Malkin, Bill Bennet, Mark Levin, Chuck Baldwin and others?

I believe it’s quite clear that Obama has shown us he has something very much in common with book burners of the past. Do we really want this kind of person as the leader of the free world, one who has proven he will use resources which are at his disposal to silence political speech?

Obama’s orchestrated attempt to silence talk radio, as distinguished from Obama’s association with Billy the-bomb-maker Ayers, is a very big story in and of itself and needs to be front page news across the country!

Hey Joey tight-lips 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?

Thank you for the ping to this article. I went on a mini-vacation and am trying to catch up now.

There is no doubt that an ‘Obama Administration’, along with a Democrat run Congress, will do grave damage to this country......it’s freedoms and it’s economic and national security.

Hopefully, the American people are waking up and will not let the greatest country on earth full into these people’s hands!

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

Mark Hyman

Wednesday, September 3, 2008

__________________

"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,
