Obama Threatens Free Speech

How's this for hope and change?

"Barack Obama is striking back fiercely and swiftly to stamp out an ad that links him to a 1960s radical......

Obama not only aired a response ad to the spot linking him to William Ayers, but he sought to block stations the commercial by warning station managers and asking the Justice Department to intervene. The campaign also planned to compel advertisers to pressure stations that continue to air the anti-Obama commercial.

Obama's target is an ad by the conservative American Issues Project, a nonprofit group that questions Obama's ties to Ayers, a founder of the Weather Underground organization that took credit for a series of bombings, including nonfatal explosions at the Pentagon and U.S. Capitol four decades ago."

Typical of a leftist to try and shut up any voice that brings to light their failings.

You watch the ad. Tell me what is not factual.

"Obama spokesman Tommy Vietor said Obama supporters have inundated stations that are airing the ad, many of them owned by Sinclair Communications, with 93,000 e-mails. He called the ad false, despicable and outrageous.

"Other stations that follow Sinclair's lead should expect a similar response from people who don't want the political discourse cheapened with these false, negative attacks," Vietor said."

False? No Tommy you little piece of pond scum....not a false thing about the ad, but Obama? HE'S false. And outrageous, as well as despicable.
