McCain-Obama battle over Missouri "Truth Squad"
St. Louis Post-Dispatch ^ | September 27, 2008 | Jo Mannies

With the Missouri polls showing a dead heat between Republican John McCain and Democrat Barack Obama, every campaign move is igniting scrutiny.

That’s the backdrop over a two-day dust-up that is attracting local TV coverage, and has even ignited a Web fight between the Drudge Report and the Daily Kos.

At issue is a new Obama “Truth Squad” formed in the state.

Obama’s Missouri Truth Squad members include St. Louis Circuit Attorney Jennifer Joyce, Jefferson County Sheriff Glenn Boyer and St. Louis County Prosecuting Attorney Bob McCulloch, among others.

The inclusion of such officials has led to Gov. Matt Blunt, among other Republicans, to accuse the Obama camp of planning “to use Missouri law enforcement to threaten and intimidate his critics.”

< snip >

In a statement Saturday (issued from the governor’s office), Blunt went further and contended that the state Obama campaign and its allies, including U.S. Sen. Claire McCaskill “have attached the stench of police state tactics…”

For what it is worth, here is the email link for Jennifer Joyce;

I could not locate McCullochs from the same site. I sent here an email from her form and might suggest others do the same.

Hell, I live 15 minutes from downtown St. Louis (Illinois side).

This is absolutely unbelievable. I know some St Louis city cops and my uncle is a sheriff's deputy in St. Charles County. I'm going to have to get some intel on this.

Other than Drudge, I don’t think the national Obama media has mentioned anything about this.

Obama is giving us all a taste of how he means to govern. If he gets to remake the USSC then that will all be effective. Freedom of speech will have a rapidly increasing amount of exceptions and more and more things will be defined as “shouting FIRE! in a crowded theater.” The Fairness Doctrine will be resurrected even before he gets to make changes on the court. With control of the Executive and the Legislative this time around, especially if he gets sufficient senators I expect him to try to add a couple of Justices to the Court, put it up to 11 Justices or so. If he gets that then the Constitution will complete the transformation into a document with no meaning at all.

This cannot be happening....that original news report was so casual.

I thought it would be reported as some scandal, but the acted like it was nothing.

Do these officers of law have bosses????????????????

Was Drudge threatened also? Why did he remove it?

I did. Everybody here should ask. There’s a little box in the lower right hand corner of his site to submit comments. Go to it.
