McCain-Obama battle over Missouri "Truth Squad"

St. Louis Post-Dispatch ^ | September 27, 2008 | Jo Mannies

[NOBAMA in 08]

yep! I asked Drudge what happened and is he “afraid” of bambi?

[Waco]

Get a sticker, go to Mo., get a ticket, sue the hell out of them. Hey gang, they’re giving money away in Mo.

[Jagdgewehr]

Seriously? At the very least, I suspect he may have been contacted and "encouraged" to remove the story. I can only speculate on what was done or said to persuade him. Most likely, someone may have convinced him that it was a non-story...groundless accusations. At the very least, he probably convinced himself it was nothing.

Intimidation or fear? That may seem a little paranoiac but, look at the tactics used by the 0bama campaign. Not much of a stretch.

To those who completely dismiss the likelihood of the 0bama campaign from using these kind of tactics...? In the words of Senator McCain..."Oh, please!"

[GWMcClintock]

The encouraging part (if there IS one) is that no one defended what the O-boy campaign did in the comments section under the article. If anything, several folks pointed out the truth about O-boy’s associates and his childhood as a Muslim, and those facts may get to someone who hasn’t seen them before now. (I’m trying to be positive here, no flames, please.)

“The Commissar's in town, oh no....”

[Irish Eyes]

It is under recent headlines. He took it off the front page.

....this should get real good come Monday when Rush gets a hold of it

[VOA]

The Post-Dispatch finally is covering this story, and then
only a little bit.

They're only covering it because:
1. Give The Obama goon squad spin of the issues
2. Buy "martyr" status for Obama so vote fraud will be an even
more fevered enterprise in the St. Louis area that ever
AND
3. Hope to get someone, anyone to buy their paper.

The last Post-Dispatch I bought was on a Saturday in the spring.
The Saturday edition on the stands here in Columbia, MO
is just a tabloid-format.
With less interesting and much less informing articles than
The National Enquirer or The Onion.

I hope Sarah brings up the Truth Squads in her debate with Biden.

[LegalEagle61]

This is the kind of stupid assed crap Obama spends money on, he is such an amateur and a loser and is unfit to lead! Whining crybaby who is so afraid we will all find out the truth about HIM that is why it is the Truth Squad and even that name is so cartoonish and lame!

[BobbyT]

As someone who lives outside St. Louis for several years before finding myself in Illinois, I have this to say to the good people of Missouri:

Welcome to Chicago.

Surrender your defenses, your wallets, your children, and your minds.

[tuckrdout]

Bob McCulloch and Jennifer Joyce better look for some charges coming their way. It is illegal for public servants to endorse candidates.

[impeachedrapist]

With the Missouri polls showing a dead heat

LOL! I quit reading here.

[keats5]

Believe me, I wasn’t doubting you. I’m just trying to digest the idea that Obama operatives could intimidate Matt Drudge. If even Drudge will not stand his ground, then where is our hope?

[Doogle]

I hope the good people of Missouri realize where their tax dollars are going

[Doogle]

... then where is our hope?

..listen to Rush coming Monday, he took on Dingy harry and made him look like a fool

[Paul Heinzman]

Go for it, Charles.

[Lexinom]

It’s mysteriously MISSING from Drudge now.

[Mercat]

feeling more and more like a coup. About a month ago they were talking about an October surprise. This financial crisis smells like Soros.
