Turning the tables again on Obama’s speech-squelching thugs

Turning the tables again on Obama’s speech-squelching thugs – at Michelle Malkin

The complains that Obama and his blognots have a double standard about political opponents versus themselves once again presents itself in that Obama’s people are “investigating” and threatening republican donors, while the elitists who’ve thrown obscene amounts of money into the Obama campaign is long. If the rules Obama’s people are using against republicans are to apply evenly to both sides, then an investigation into the rich donors to Obama’s campaign must be conducted.

What they’re trying to do is silence the Ayers ad produced by the American Issues Project, so the lawyer representing the American Issues Project fired a letter off to the Attorney General’s office. The entire text of the letter can be found at Malkin’s, but this excerpt from it was particularly interesting and really demonstrates very old communist/socialist tradition of attacking political opponents, regardless as to the actions they themselves take.

The Obama campaign dislikes the content of AIP’s advertising – but is unable to contradict the facts contained in the ad. That is precisely why the ad is presently being broadcast by numerous television stations. It is accurate, documented, and truthful.

They can’t handle the truth!

The Obama Campaign has specifically called on the Department of Justice to prosecute a donor to AIP, whose contribution was disclosed publicly in accordance with federal law. See 11 C.F.R. §109.10.
Information contained in AIP’s FEC Form 5, filed on August 19, 2006 was attached to the Obama Campaign’s Second Letter to DOJ and information contained in the filing forms the basis for the Obama Campaign’s latest demands of you and the Department.

The Obama Campaign’s request gives rise to a significant legal and constitutional question: that is, whether the Department of Justice would seriously undertake the prosecution of a citizen under pressure from a prominent government official / political candidate, relying on information contained in truthful and accurate government filing, disclosed in accordance with federal law. There are serious Fifth Amendment self-incrimination issues involved in a situation whereby a criminal prosecution could be ordered at will by political pressure on your Department based solely on a timely and accurate federal government disclosure.

We already know the answer to this; the Delaware case against Sinclair is completely due to the “pressure from prominent government official/political candidate” – and in Delaware, the pressure was applied to Sinclair through Joe Biden’s son and after a packet of BS was sent to them from Obama bloggers. It would seem to me that these dirty tactics should backfire, as this letter suggests.

AIP has sought and received the voluntary after-tax contributions of donor(s) to support its policy objectives, which happen to differ from those of the Obama Campaign. Rather than addressing the facts contained in the AIP advertisement, it has instead set about to “deal” with AIP through your Department.

They’re not interested in “facts”, which is why they attempt to turn this into a personal attack on donors and supporters of a different political point of view. As one Obama supporter said in comments here, accusing me of blaspheming Obama, which is against their new religion and must be stopped!

This is, however, only the latest in a series of brazen public statements and efforts by liberal Democratic operatives and agents of the Obama Campaign to silence their critics and organizations with whom they disagree, by initiating what they acknowledge is a concerted national effort announced in recent weeks to intimidate, harass and otherwise bully conservative donors.

That is so true; this is all about silencing Obama’s critics. What they seem to be worried about is the facts would come out which demonstrate that Obama is a dirty politician connected to the democrat machine in Chicago and through Rezko and Auchi -Saddam’s Iraq; that his Chicago ‘friends” Ayers and Dohrn are unrepentent terrorists who want to destroy America; that his veep pic-Joe Biden has a less than honorable 30-year history in politics that includes a role in dismissing instead of prosecuting the agents that murdered innocents at Ruby Ridge and Waco; that Biden is a pro abortionist candidate who claims to be a catholic despite the Catholic church’s long held position against it; that he’s funneled money meant for reform in the educational system (Annenberg Challenge) to ACORN; that he’s received money from any number of Islamic terrorists such as the brothers in Gaza; that he not only is a supporter of the political agenda of the gay community, he’s been having extramarital homosexual affairs for years AND had a relationship with the murdered gay choir director of Reverend Wright’s Trinity United Church of Christ, Donald Young. (Which seems hauntingly similar to Hitler’s murder of Ernst Roehm) And all of that pales in comparison to his claiming he’s no longer a muslim but a Christian while he’s on record publicly mocking passages in the Bible and his extreme position on the Born Alive Infant Proection Act which shows he thinks it should be okay to kill babies after they’re born – if those little babies manage to survive the attempt to kill them in the womb.

That’s an awful lot of dirt to sweep under the rug and away from the American people in the hopes that they will chose this ‘candidate for change’ – who represents the worst of politics as usual.

I think the worst thing about Obama is his ineligibility for the presidency to begin with; as the lawsuit filed in Pennsylvania by Phil Berg charges.

But of course our watchdog media and the clueless sychophants think he -but not his critics-should be above the law.
