Missouri Prosecutors, Sheriffs 'Target Anyone Who Lies' About Barack Obama
National Review ^ | 9/26/2008 | Jim Geraghy

Posted on 09/26/2008 5:52:10 PM PDT by markomalley

A St. Louis television station reports — their words — "The Barack Obama campaign is asking Missouri law enforcement to target anyone who lies or runs a misleading TV ad during the presidential campaign."

Prosecutors and sheriffs from across Missouri are joining "The Barack Obama Truth Squad."

They mention Jennifer Joyce, St. Louis Circuit Attorney and Bob McCullough, prosecutor for  St. Louis County in Missouri.

The reporter says, "They will be reminding voters that Barack Obama is a Christian who wants to cut taxes for anyone making less than $250,000 a year."

While the report never quite comes out and says that anyone running an ad saying those things would be subject to prosecution, that certainly is the message implied. 

Not all things that are wrong are illegal. Saying that Barack Obama is a Muslim is wrong, but it does not warrant prosecution by the state.

I would cite Jonah Goldberg's Liberal Fascism, but an angry mob just took my copy to their book-burning...

Why is it so “wrong” to suggest Obama is a Muslim? His father was a Muslim. His step-father was a Muslim. The Christian “church” of convenience Obama joined preached a message of hatred and intolerance of the “other” that more resembled Islam than Christianity. Radical Black Muslim preachers spoke at the church, published articles in the church bulletin. Farrakhan was given award by the church. In the wake of the 911 attacks the only thing Obama appeared to be worried about was whether Muslims in the USA would be hassled. Finally polls suggest Obama is the overwhelming choice of American and foreign Muslims. I'd say the suspicion is warranted.

This is good news. Run an ad claiming Obama is not a natural born American which is proved because he won't provide a legitimate birth certificate. He has to prove the advertiser a liar in order to win a court case. So we get to see experts pawing over his birth certificate. Ought to be great October news. Or he does an about face and doesn't press charges. He loses either way.

The VP debate is in St. Louis, I think.

Headline?

Obama campaign asks police to monitor VP debate
Palin is Subject to Arrest at Debate
"We'll nail her for racism, too," says Obama supporter

“So, do the members of the Obama Truth Squad get to wear spiffy uniforms? They already have an Obama Salute...”

They have been issued designer label, environmentally friendly, German made brown shirts.

I am beginning to think there are two Constitutions. One has the right to assemble, freedom of speech, right to gun ownership, freedom of religion, among others, while the only thing in the other Constitution is the freedom to kill your unborn baby.

Is there any suggestion about what law would be violated by such ads? Also, would people who put out false or misleading ads or news reports about McCain also be subject to prosecution? I find it hard to believe that these people are serious. On second thought, maybe I can believe it.

Bizarre. And again, here go the RATS unleashing teams of rabid agitating lawyers.

Here in WA, the democrat party waited until the overseas ballots to troops were sent, then filed a petition to have them all declared illegal because the RAT Governor's opponent listed himself at GOP, rather than R.

A judge dismissed it today. But it is unbelievable that they would have the gall. Of Course the papers say nothing. 4 years ago the election was stolen from Dino Rossi by this same RAT woman and her D party auditors in Seattle. It is a grudge match now and it appears the RATs are running scared. And our voter rolls were finally cleaned up a bit. There won't be so much political action after death, this year /s

What Obama and some of his supporters in Missouri are doing is an outrage. All the policemen in Missouri who are in on this should be fired and stripped of their badges, uniforms, police cars, pay, health insurance, paid vacations, sick leave, and retirement benefits. In other words, send them home with nothing. As for the prosecutors in Missouri who are part of this “truth squad,” they should be thrown out on their ears come election time. Sue them for libel and slander against any conservative who dares to tell the truth about Obama.

Good, lets take it to court, and have Obama present evidence under oath, that he was NEVER a muslim, even when he went by the name, “Barry Soetoro”. Lets make him prove how he travelled to Pakistan in 1981, when there was a travel ban, and no one but Muslims were allowed into the country!

This is beautiful!! LETS GET ARRESTED!! LET’S CHALLENGE THIS LAW....How do I go about it? Stand on the corner with a sign, or pass out flyers? This can only help Mcain, folks! We all must do an operation chaos and go get arrested in Missori, fill up their courts, and shine the light on Obama’s facist ways! GET ARRESTED FOR FREE SPEECH!! YES! THIS IS HOW OUR COUNTRY WAS MADE! LETS’S SHINE THE LIGHT ON AMERICAN’S FUTURE WITH OBAMA AS LEADER!

We HAVE to go and get arrested! We must. I tell you what, I would organise it, but I am out of the country at the moment, and won’t be back until the election is over....I will try to get my son to head down there....arrest an army man....Rush should go get arrested...Hannity should get arrested....we need to clog the courts with this to shine the light on obama and the demcrats killing free speech.

Yeah, and those “greedy corporations” that are called family farms!

My dad owned a logging business, and he made more than that. We definately were not rich! Obama wants my inheritance so that he can give it to drug addicts that will not work, and spend their day partying.
