Nevada’s Democrat secretary of state says he’ll do all in his power to crush a conservative organization that ran ads against him in his campaign to become the state’s attorney general.

Sound familiar?

It’s part of a “disturbing trend,” said Matthew Walter, executive director of the State Government Leadership Foundation, the conservative nonprofit behind the ads that earned the ire of Nevada Secretary of State Ross Miller.

“This is all about freedom of speech,” Walter said. “Whether it’s President Obama’s Internal Revenue Service and their unbalanced scrutiny into conservative organizations, or whether it’s Ross Miller with his threats and blustering in Nevada, what we see far too often are liberal groups defending the right to free speech until they don’t personally agree with the content. At that point, they throw up every roadblock they can to hinder the individual’s right to free speech.”

Miller, who as secretary of state is Nevada’s chief elections official, last month threatened to pursue “every legal option”...

When the law becomes a political weapon, the only antidote will be actual weapons.

The political targeting that the left claims they aren’t doing yet are doing in plain sight.

This is what Valerie Jarret is doing from the White House. When the Big Cahuna is showing the way, it’s not surprising that the wannabes are jumping on board.

As long as the Democrat Crime Machine is allowed to get away with this it will continue and grow.

The Nazis like Miller are feeling their oats. They know that their is no law in this country anymore. It’s every man for himself. It’s time to take revenge on your opponents.

url only, article about the ad blitz:

http://www.reviewjournal.com/politics/attorney-general-candidate-ross-miller-target-ad-blitz

something interesting off wiki-wacky:

[snip] As Secretary of State and Nevada’s Chief Election Officer in 2008, Miller led a voter registration investigation into the prominent anti-poverty organization, Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN). The investigation led to a search warrant being executed at ACORN’s Las Vegas headquarters and eventually led to the filing of thirty-nine (39) criminal counts against ACORN, its Las Vegas field director Christopher Edwards and its former Deputy Regional Field Director Amy Busefink. In August 2009, Christopher Edwards pled guilty to reduced charges and agreed to testify against ACORN and Busefink. In 2008, Miller issued challenges to twenty-one (21) term-limited incumbents who had filed for office in Nevada. They had been in office for at least 12 years, the limit specified in a 1996 state referendum. Miller’s decision was the subject of a legal challenge which was ultimately unanimously upheld by the Nevada Supreme Court. [/snip]
