Hey Obama truth squad,
Obama lies! You lie! You should be drawn and quartered if you try to use government powers to suppress free speech. Refer to the first amendment you fascist creeps!
Barak Hussein Obama is Marxist troll and he will raise our taxes as he destroys our republic (should he win the presidency, which he won’t)!
Yeeehaw!! Come and get me coppers! You’ll never take me alive!!
Missouri Bump
Here’s something for the leftist thought police to investigate. Obama has big ears and his wife is a marxist whore. Oh no, the Obama campaign is gonna get me, I’m sooo scared. /s
I’m pretty sure that this is against the ethics responsibility practice of lawyers (taking city/state funds and then activitely saying you are going to prosecute only things offensive against one party). I realize that’s an oxymoron in some cases, to have an honest attorney, but my spouse and I are both honest almost to a fault.
She and the other attorney should be reported to the ethics board because they are threatening prosecution if you say anything they don’t agree with about Obama. There are so many ethical and consititutional violations here that it ASTOUNDS me that they have the nerve to go on public television with this.
from her website:
Jennifer Joyce heads the Circuit Attorney’s Office for the City of St. Louis. The Circuit Attorney’s office aggressively prosecutes state-level office offenses that happen within the City of St. Louis. The Office’s mission is to pursue justice for all citizens within the highest standards of ethical behavior and professionalism.
Overview:
12th largest law firm in the Region
65 attorneys, 150 total staff
Prosecute misdemeanors and felonies occurring in the City of St. Louis
Approximately 5,000 felonies and 10,000 misdemeanors handled (issued or remaining) per year
Largest caseloads per attorney in the State of Missouri
Largest caseloads for a 500 mile radius
.............
basically - she’s saying if she doesn’t agree with the ad, you may be PROSECUTED if you run an ad anywhere around St Louis...
This isn’t Socialism....that is too kind of a word...much, much worse. This is perhaps Fascism or at the mimium, prosecutorial misconduct. She is threatening and scaring people with her position.
This is terrible...

Huckabee may not be ready for the WH
But he is not nasty and arrogant and pompous on TV like Bill O’Reilly is and he has a good sense of humor
O’Reilly on with Wolfson tonight - Bill did not know Wolfson never worked in the Bill Clinton administration! O’Reilly’s face looked odd and very puzzled - Wolfson said “I worked in Hillary’s campaihn in NY state!”
Huckabee may find it is wiser to focus on his TV show and career as it will likely last longer than 4 or 8 years and will give him a better platform and less ulcers
Bob Grant - radio talk show host on WABC 770am NYC - liked Huckabee during the primaries
Huckabee was not my choice - but he could be an entertaining TV host and political analyst on FNC
Just found this...
I agree with your comments. It’s very poor, and I wouldn’t be surprised to see her have to answer for these actions.
Try contacting the U.S. Attorney's for both the Eastern and Western district of Missouri.

Tell them these "Obama Truth Squad" prosecutors and police departments are violating the 1st amendment rights to freedom of speech and abusing their offices and you want the U.S. Attorney's office to put a stop to this. They may also be causing voter intimidation as well.
If you do contact the U.S. Attorney's Missouri offices, send along the link to the news story to the U.S. Attorney's office that exposed this shenanigans. Link below:
http://www.kmov.com/video/index.html?nvid=285793&shu=1
You could also try sending a crime tip to the FBI and also contact both the Missouri Governor's office and the Missouri state GOP offices as well and ask them to get involved in stopping this abuse of power as well. The links are below:
https://tips.fbi.gov/ - Send crime tips to the FBI
http://www.usdoj.gov/contact-us.html - U.S. Department of Justice Contact Page
http://governor.mo.gov/contacts.htm - Missouri Governor Matt Blunt contact page
http://www.mogop.org/wp/ - Missouri GOP web site.
It is time the Feds get involved in this and shut down this abuse of power and shut it decisively so other state's will not attempt to do what these Missouri rouges are doing.
Btw, what gives with this pandering to Obama? I thought Missouri was a solid red state?
civil war is coming....its coming....
Not at all. I'm in southwest Missouri, Springfield to be exact. Most of the state is red but metropolitan St Louis, metro Kansas City and Columbia are liberal. Were it up to St Louis and KC Missouri would be as blue as Vermont.

Comment:
Why are you threatening to use government resources to prosecute political enemies?
I saw a video tape on WMOV featuring you as a member of the so-called “Obama Truth Squad” saying you would officially “remind voters that Barack Obama is a Christian who wants to cut taxes for anyone making under $250,000 per year.”
Are you doing this on government time, using government money? How is this a part of the function of government for the city of St. Louis?
Your mission statement says: “To pursue justice for all citizens within the highest standards of ethical behavior and professionalism.”
Your quote:
“We want to keep this campaign focused on issues. We don’t want people to get distracted - Missourians don’t want to be distracted - by these divisive character attacks. So we’re here to respond to any character attacks, to set the record straight...” Your comments were cut off at that point.
“Missourians don’t want to be distracted” - so you’ve decided that you speak for all of Missouri? No one is allowed to counter the claims of Mr. Obama? I think you said it right the first time, “*WE* DON’T WANT PEOPLE TO GET DISTRACTED...” You, as a government official with police power behind you, will use your authority to track down dissent and put an end to it, with official authority, I assume.
If I were your supervisor I’d have your resignation on my desk first thing in the morning for making a statement like this to the press while in your official capacity. This and the actions of like-minded sheriffs and other members of law enforcement are completely outside the bounds of your duties and authority. It isn’t the job of attorneys or sheriffs to be concerned about what individuals say about a political candidate they favor, unless the First Amendment was overturned last night. And have you extinguished violent crime in St. Louis and now can use police powers to harass law-abiding citizens for exercising God-given rights our forefathers died to protect?
How do you justify participating in a so-called “Obama Truth Squad” in your capacity as an attorney for the City of St. Louis? Is it your opinion that your official duties include hunting down political opponents who dare to criticize Mr. Obama, using the power and resources of the City of St. Louis? May we please see that your job description so we can determine if this is part of what you are paid to do? Do your supervisors and constituents approve of your using government resources and time to go after political opponents? Is it now the policy of the City of St. Louis to intervene in civil matters (unless libel is now a criminal offense in Missouri, if so, all the more reason never to move there!) when your office represents CRIMINAL matters?
The video has put a deep fear of government into my heart. I thought we’d never have a police state, but I guess we are on the way to having one now. To think that a senator campaigning for president has the power to wield police power against his enemies. This isn’t the United States I was raised in.
I work for a company based in St. Louis. Thank heavens I do not live there. Hugo Chavez, you have some warm friends waiting your advice in the office of the City of St. Louis.
Are you going to prosecute me for writing to you? I am almost afraid to send this to you, for fear of government retribution. You have most of the guns and money, after all.

Quite simple, evil too. Sheriff scratches the big boy's back, the favor might get returned someday. You would be surprised at how your rights can be sold away for something as little as "a few new radios for the patrol cars". If you have a good sheriff, thank God and make sure he gets elected as much as he wants.
What’s really scary is that Missouri law enforcement is willing to go along with this.
And he wants to confiscate your guns. Wonder why?
