McCain Camp Responds to Obama's DOJ Letter
Real Clear Politics ^ | 18 Oct 2008 | BLAKE DVORAK

Posted on 10/19/2008 12:42:05 AM PDT by XHogPilot

In response to the letter the Obama camp sent to the Justice Department, the McCain campaign has released this statement:

"After a week of shifting stories and clumsy corrections regarding Barack Obama's connections to ACORN, the Obama campaign resorted to their now-customary heavy handed tactic of attempting to criminalize political discourse. Today's outrageous letter to Attorney General Mukasey and Special Prosecutor Dannehy at the Justice Department asking for a special prosecutor to investigate Senator McCain and Governor Palin's public statements about ACORN's record of fraudulent voter registrations (including in this week's Presidential debate) is absurd. It is a typical time-worn Washington attempt to criminalize political differences. For someone who promises 'change,' it is certainly only more of the same.

"The letter's request that the Department of Justice investigate 'recent partisan Republican activities throughout the country' is almost a parody of the Obama campaign's attempt to intimidate their political opponents. In case Sen. Obama's lawyer did not notice, we are in the midst of a political campaign, not a coronation, and the alleged criminal activity he calls 'recent partisan Republican activities' are what the rest of us call campaign speeches and debates. All of this is unfortunately reminiscent of the Obama campaign's recent creation of a 'truth squad' of Missouri prosecutors and sheriffs to 'target' people who criticize Sen. Obama. Rest assured that, despite these threats, the McCain-Palin campaign will continue to address the serious issue of voter registration fraud by ACORN and other partisan groups, and compliance by states with the Help America Vote Act's requirement of matching new voter registrations with state data bases to preve nt voter fraud."

This seems so risky on Obama's part. Why would he so visibly become ACORN's legal lackey and government advocate, when he constantly claims he has no connections to ACORN? It seems odd to to this now, after the SCOTUS ruled in favor of the Ohio Secretary of State.

Obama's campaign has recently been acting like they are worried another shoe will drop. What that shoe is, only the Obama campaign knows. Maybe it is Ayers. Maybe it is Rezko. Maybe it is ACORN. Maybe it is Vera Baker.

Perhaps Obama's arrogance and Chicago political methods drive him to use his energy to tamp down on investigations when instead he could just be holding giant rallies, or to send his gestapo to sue over anti-Obama commercials instead of just spending his hundreds millions of dollars to drown out the messenger.

Maybe Obama is now trying to create coattails for the Democrat Senate, House, and state candidates. Maybe he is trying to ensure a mandate.

Mabye it is just the Democrat philosophy that it is not enough just to win, that you must destroy your enemies as well.

Maybe he knows he can pull it off, because it will never be questioned by the MSM. The MSM will never ask David Axlerod why the Obama campaign is in essence doing pro bono legal for ACORN as well as free government lobbying on their behalf.

Remember the Weather Underground, Black Panthers, and Symbionese Liberation Army? Same violent anarchists today, different names.

This is why WE need to learn to be self-sufficient. You can read online how to make a bow and arrows and how to make an atl-atl. You can practice using both in your yard or in a park (or get a hunting license and go out to some field to practice). Or maybe someone on FR will give an idea where to practice.

Learn Martial Arts and how to use the various (very quiet) tools of the trade.

We are not incapable of guerrilla warfare, you know. I'd tell you a trick I learned watching Martial Arts movies, but don't want the world to know about it. There are plenty of stealth ways to terminate the enemy that someone in close contact can use. Women, especially, if you get my drift. Or in case of Muslims, young boys.

“The letter’s request that the Department of Justice investigate ‘recent partisan Republican activities throughout the country’ is almost a parody of the Obama campaign’s attempt to intimidate their political opponents.”

Excellent.

In addition to exposing the socialist for what he is, they must also hit on his pattern of totalitarian tactics. The latter is scaring more moderates than does the former.

” armed public for the most part. “

*************************

We better arm up real good, in case.

You do know, of course, that he plans on setting up his own “Praetorian Guard?”

Surely you've all seen this video - it's been on all the media outlets and above-the-fold print. And EVERYone has been asking him just where he’ going to get the funding for his Brown Shirts. Oh, oh, I forgot. This pronouncement by the obamination has been relegated to the dust bin.

We need to email this one link (about his new police force) over and over again to hannity, Rush, Greta etc. (Or take out stock in Jack Boots and Brown Shirts and then head for the hills and dig in)

Hear it in is own words.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gwaAVJITx1Y Here's just 2 links that everyone should be able to understand (not time now to get into too many issues, valid as they are. Have to stick with a couple EVERYone can recognize the dangers of...

ACORN - he says he has no connection. We know he has, evidence is proven...and he still does and has PROMISED them just recently that he will not only bring them in to help set policy in his administration but they will have a part in policy making BEFORE the coronation, ah inauguration. (Will they all get Brown Shirts?)

BLESS Greta! She actually showed this on her special last night! go to her BLOG site and vote for seeing it again. http://gretawire.foxnews.com/ http://roadsassy.com/2008/10/11/caught-on-tapeobama-promising-acorn-that-they-will-help-shape-his-policies-in-the-white-house/

and why is NO ONE asking where he's going to get the funding for his “Praetorian Guard” - ah, National Police Force, that will have as many ‘troops’ as the military AND as much funding? (Not to mention the implications!)

His “Praetorian Guard”
(We have the military to protect us from foreign enemies, the Coast Guard for our shores, each state has it's National Guard and State Police, communities have their police and sheriff's = the obamination says his new NATIONAL police force will have AS MANY troops as our military and as well funded. (How funded?) Here's the number of military as of last year.
2007 (August) 1,380,082
Picture over a million new “NATIONAL POLICE” - OVER 26,500 THOUSAND PER STATE. I guess that would be enough to clamp down on any and all "Joe's" who dared raise their voice and too shut down FOX, Rush, et al,.

AGAIN - Hear it in his own words.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gwaAVJITx1Y

He cannot deny either of these - it's HIM saying it. He demands the AG stop the McC campaign or media from spreading “lies” - per the letter to the AG demanding the McC campaign, etc/. be stopped from telling lies about his ACORN connection!

the press is now parroting the newest line: Obama is Presidential because he doesn’t loose his cool.

He's cool, alright. Like a cobra. He doesn't jump up and down in public, he just attracts and destroys - even an average citizen who had the audacity to ask him a simple question.

This isn't the first such threat and intimidation letter that he has had sent out. They also go to TV stations, radio stations, etc., to ‘cease and desist” from airing anything, including ads, that is derogatory to him.

And instead of answering what he meant by spread the wealth, when he slipped up in talking to an ordinary citizen, he pulls the totally Marxist action of ‘destroy the citizen” - “Joe's” lucky he hasn't yet been sent to Siberia.

If those actions aren't enough to frighten the bejeebers out of you - answer this one: How does a Senator get the audacity or the right to demand the law enforcement of an individual state clamp down on, even to the point of arrest, anyone saying anything negative against him? Even more frightening - they are compling! They are pulling on the Jack Boots.

“Obama campaign has instructed all Missouri law enforcement to target, intimidate, potentially arrest and prosecute anyone who says anything negative about Barack Obama. “

WE don't have much time left, troops. Let's keep the keyboards hot.

In case any of you don't know “the FORMULA” for getting emails actually read by the head honchos, here's how to do it: copy/paste into you email box, Word or somewhere you can easily access for sending emails.

FOX is stepping up to the plate and really exposing the demRATS and ‘bambi. Let’s keep FREEPING them info.
Remember the formula of the networks: The office people that screen the emails only pass them on when they get X-amount on a given subject.
So this is OUR part - WE the PEOPLE - in protecting our freedoms.

Special@foxnews.com

ElRushbo@eibnet.com

and the McC/Sarah campaign at:

info@McCainPalinVictory2008.com

and deputy campaign manager

ecampaign@johnmccain.com

and copy/paste to Huck at:

http://www.mikehuckabee.com/index.cfm?FuseAction=SignUp.Home

(I have eliminated O’Reilly from my list. He carries a lot of weight at FOX and it seems, ever since his fluff interview with the obamination, he defends him at almost every turn. He seems to be motivated more by his personal gains and ratings - hedging his bet in case The One does become POTUS and then HE will be then one to get the interviews??? I'm sticking with the ones that are openly more concerned for our country over self promotion - and delighted to see Greta has joined that side!)

THE FORMULA for getting your email through: (AND Be sure to add your name and town and email - or they won't read them.)

IMPORTANT when emailing. they won’t read mass emails - SO,

put just one email add in the “to” line then click on BBC at the end of that line. a BCC line will open just above subject line. copy paste the rest of the addresses in there and each recipient will see ONLY their name - and in the subject line make reference to the subject at hand - short and to the point.

Let’s make it happen. This is our part in protecting our freedoms = WE THE PEOPLE - we act now or get ready for Jack Boots and Brown Shirts

THIS IS THE ONE TO DEMAND THE MEDIA GET OUT THERE NOW! Let America know about his ‘Praetorian Guard’ - he must be stopped.

No one can shoot more than one gun at a time.

We also just sold a couple in order to upgrade the deer rifle.
We have a .357 and a couple of .22 pistols, a replica Spencer, both blackpowder rifle and pistol and the afore mentioned deer rifle left. Some of the money from the gun sale has gone into ammo. Some will go to upgrade the reloading supplies.

We think we have all contingencies covered. Not all of the guns were/are registered. If some sort of grab goes into law, we have PVC pipe, protective coverings and a lot of land on which to build a cache. While suppliers are holding pre-Obama sales, our friends w/FFL and friends in ATF are not that worried. Even zerO knows there is no way to enforce a total grab, although we know there are ways to regulate everything to make it very difficult.

There were guns left in NAZI Germany and in Eastern Europe. There were still gunsmiths or people capable of repair or of taking several parts and putting together something new. There were partisans. There was no tradition, history or Constitutional right in those places beforehand.Too many others were sheep.

We are Americans. You will do fine with what you have left.

Fitzgerald has an open file on ACORN and it has now been bumped up to ACORN and Rudy has been in states where ACORN is active. Both the Fitzgerald and Rudy came out of the Southern District of NY where they took on the mob. My problem right now is who we have heading DOJ and the President who has not been on the side of Republicans for sometime. Never thought I would be saying that.

Makes me wonder if Fitzgerald didn’t have the open file if this would all be out there right now because he did not have to go back to DOJ and you can bet this is WHY the Obama camps wants to name the special prosecutor. It is so obvious he doesn’t not want Fitzgerald who tried Rezko.

ACORN’s record of fraudulent voter registrations is public knowledge in several states.

Hopefully someone can get to the bottom of ACORN/Obamao frauds
before he has a chance to get near the WH.

Can you imagine the dictating actions he would take if he tries this stuff now?

America will cease to exist as a democratic republic if Obama is President. The national institutions have been infiltrated by socialist activists including the leadership of the Democrat Party and the Supreme through Lesser Court System. It will be a long period of global cooling, nuclear winter, and national decline. Witness the fate of Venezuela under Chavez, Zimbabwe under Mugabe, or Cuba under Castro. Watch for the criminalization of political discourse, nationalization of industry, and theft of wealth. No economy , no political system, no nation can survive in an identifiable form under such circumstance. The barbarians are at the gates and Obama invites them to enter. Will America share the fate of Constantinople or the fate of Vienna?

Pray for help yes...

But recall God helps those who help themselves too.

If 0bama is elected recall he has already stated he won't be waiting until Jan. 20, 2009 to start setting his agenda in motion. This is the one time I believe him. His actions speak louder than his words in this regard. For now we call it Hubris before the election and I pray it is only hubris.

We need to be planning for the aftermath. Both immediate and long-term. Plan for the safety of our families and for the defense of our Constitution. And my one last thought, folks this is the election that brought to full-light the war for our country.

It is not an opening shot, nor the final battle; it is the turning point. This ideology that has infected our nation is not going to be subdued if McCain/Palin wins. It took decades of associated indoctrination to create this situation. Four years from now we will again face this battle, perhaps more ferociously.

BINGO and

BUMP

This ideology that has infected our nation is not going to be subdued if McCain/Palin wins.

Something it seems folks are forgetting. The obamination is only a puppet - a Pretty, Polished, Programmed Puppet.

Many of his puppeteers are the so-called democrats in DC. They long ago infiltrated and took over the democrat party. They are hard core Socialists.

No one is sounding the cry that we must, for once, vote straight ticket - or see reid/pelosi/barney/ et al on steroids...and if they get the 60% filibuster/veto proof majority, McCain's veto pen will be useless.

Are we going to sit back and let McCain and Sarah go to DC already hamstrung?

Beat the drums: "We want change NOW. We want a change in both Houses NOW. We want the gang that protected Fanny and Freddie OUT NOW.

Vote straight ticket.

Criminalizing freedom of speech, even prior to being elected, is just a hint of the tyranny and oppression planned by Socialist Obama Administration.

First will come the gun and owner registrations.
Then the banning.
When disarmed, then the tyranny.
The historically traditional course for oppressors of the people.

You say” “I don't know about that considering we have a armed public for the most part.”

And how do you think an armed public is going to defend us against over a MILLION that the obamination says he's going to put in place in a new NATIONAL POLICE FORCE?

His intention to create a “National Civilian” Police Force

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gwaAVJITx1Y

(We have the military to protect us from foreign enemies, the Coast Guard for our shores, each state has it's National Guard and State Police, communities have their police and sheriff's = the obamination says his new NATIONAL police force will have AS MANY troops as our military and as well funded. (How funded?)

Here's the number of military as of last year.

2007 (August) 1,380,082

Picture over a million new “NATIONAL POLICE” - OVER 26,500 THOUSAND PER STATE. I guess that would be enough to clamp down on anyone who dared raise their voice...or gun. Sounds more like a “Praetorian Guard”.

Add to this, the past few years, local law enforcement agencies have been quietly ‘buying’, at pennies on the dollar, tanks and other up-armored vehicles.

“Rescue” tank?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y8AujiWA81U&feature=related

read the first VERY good comment on this link

http://www.policemag.com/News/2008/03/06/S-C-Sheriffs-Department-Armored-Vehicle-with-Belt-Fed-Machine-Gun.aspx

These tanks are just “rescue” vehicles, should you get alarmed. The fact that every state has National Guard that can provide this when necc. shouldn't be brought up.

Second Amendment rights? Armed citizenry? No problem for the obamination and his Socialist/Marxist Puppeteers -
