Republican candidate George W. Bush said that he would support the bill if it were amended to regulate traditionally pro-Democratic sources (labor and government unions) as well as traditionally pro-Republican sources (businesses).

well this seems fair......

Here’s a great article by Michelle Malkin! Barack “The Silencer” Obama’s Gangland Assault on Free Speech

By Michelle Malkin • August 29, 2008 08:57 AM

Quote:
Where are all the free speech absolutists when you need them? Over the past month, left-wing partisans and Democratic lawyers have waged a brass-knuckled intimidation campaign against GOP donors, TV and radio stations, and even an investigative journalist because they have all dared to question the radical cult of Barack Obama. A chill wind blows, but where the valiant protectors of political dissent are, nobody knows.
Isn’t it odd that our crack investigative big media has yet to lend it talents in exposing the real Barack Obama?

BTW, I’m still interested in knowing Joe Biden‘s views on Obama’s strong arm tactics used against WGN which amounts to an assault on political speech. Does he, or does he not support Obama’s spinelessness actions?

If we can make 51 percent of America’s population dependent upon a federal government check, we can then bribe them for their vote, keep ourselves in power and keep the remaining portion of America’s population enslaved to pay the bills ____ our Marxist Democrat Party’s game plan, a plan to establish an iron fisted federal plantation.

Default Obama's latest attack on [WGN] political speech!

Here is the e-mail Obama sent to supporters attempting to have WGN cancel Kurtz appearing on the show.



Quote:
August 28, 2008

In the next few hours, we have a crucial opportunity to fight one of the most cynical and offensive smears ever launched against Barack.

Tonight, WGN radio is giving right-wing hatchet man Stanley Kurtz a forum to air his baseless, fear-mongering terrorist smears. He's currently scheduled to spend a solid two-hour block from 9:00 to 11:00 p.m. pushing lies, distortions, and manipulations about Barack and University of Illinois professor William Ayers.

Tell WGN that by providing Kurtz with airtime, they are legitimizing baseless attacks from a smear-merchant and lowering the standards of political discourse.

Call into the "Extension 720" show with Milt Rosenberg at (312) 591-7200

(Show airs from 9:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m. tonight)

Then report back on your call at http://my.barackobama.com/WGNstandards

Kurtz has been using his absurd TV appearances in an awkward and dishonest attempt to play the terrorism card. His current ploy is to embellish the relationship between Barack and Ayers.
Just last night on Fox News, Kurtz drastically exaggerated Barack's connection with Ayers by claiming Ayers had recruited Barack to the board of the Annenberg Challenge. That is completely false and has been disproved in numerous press accounts.

It is absolutely unacceptable that WGN would give a slimy character assassin like Kurtz time for his divisive, destructive ranting on our public airwaves. At the very least, they should offer sane, honest rebuttal to every one of Kurtz's lies.

Kurtz is scheduled to appear from 9:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m. in the Chicago market.

Calling will only take a minute, and it will make a huge difference if we nip this smear in the bud. Confront Kurtz tonight before this goes any further:

http://my.barackobama.com/WGNstandards

Please forward this email to everyone you know who can make a call tonight.

Keep fighting the good fight,

Obama Action Wire
In fact, the station did offer Obama or a surrogate an opportunity to appear on the show to back up the smearing of Kurtz engaged in by Obama in the email he sent out. But just as Obama avoids going head to head with McCain in town hall meetings, or appear on the Bill O’Reilly show or Sean Hannity’s show, Obama chickens out when his request was agreed to by WGN.

Seems to me that Obama is great at making accusations, calling other people names, engaging in character assassinations, and other adolescent name calling conduct, but when given the opportunity to back up his claims, he runs and hides and changes the subject.

As I have correctly stated, the scary thing about this whole thing is, if it wasn't for the internet and talk radio, hardly anyone would know anything about Obama's attack on political speech! You can bet your bottom dollar if Obama ever gets elected he will use the IRS, the Department of Justice, and any other government tool at his disposal to attack every media source and every individual, which exposes his doings, and would especially attack conservative talk show hosts such as Ann Coulter, Rush Limbaugh, Laura Ingraham, Glenn Beck, Bill O’Reilly, Sean Hannity, Michelle Malkin, Bill Bennet, Mark Levin, Chuck Baldwin and others.

This attack on political speech by Obama, as opposed to Obama’s connections to William Ayers, is the real story and needs to be front page news across the country.

Do we really want this kind of person as the leader of the free world? We are being attacked from within …. Wake up America. Do not allow these kinds of scoundrels to seize control over your government!

Why has the big media not reported Obama’s latest attempt to silence those who work to expose the real Obama?

JWK


Hey Joey tight lips Biden, how do you feel about your running mate trying to shut down a talk radio show? Do you approve of Obama’s un-American strong arm tactics?

Obama had best let this all air out now....BEFORE he might become president. Do Democrats want an Obama presidency to be bogged down with investigations IF there is MORE to this connection that comes out later? Wouldn't you all rather have it aired out now???

But Obama was not eight years old when Billy left-wing Ayers and his wife hosted meetings in their home to introduce Obama to neighbors during Obama’s first run for the Illinois Senate.

Default Fair and Balanced Fox News reports Obama’s attack on WGN

SEE:

Monday, September 01, 2008
By Brit Hume
Fox News

Quote:
Intimidation Tactics?
The Obama campaign had its supporters confront WGN Radio in Chicago last week for having a critic of the Democratic presidential nominee on its air.

The Chicago Tribune reports Obama supporters besieged the station with thousands of phone calls and e-mails in an effort to force the cancellation of an interview with columnist Stanley Kurtz. The campaign e-mailed supporters saying: "WGN Radio is giving right-wing hatchet man Stanley Kurtz a forum to air his baseless, fear-mongering terrorist fears... pushing lies, distortions and manipulations about Barack and University of Illinois professor William Ayers."

A producer at WGN Radio said, "I got the feeling they were trying to intimidate us." It didn't work. The interview aired.

Kurtz — a Harvard PhD who is now a fellow at the Hoover Institution at Stanford — has written for The Wall Street Journal and The Weekly Standard. A recent article he wrote for The National Review drew the ire of the Obama campaign because it examined Obama's ties to Ayers, a 1960s and '70s terrorist leader whose followers — among other things — tried to blow up the U.S. Capitol.

So what this boils down to is that a bunch of Obama supporters called the station to voice their opinion about a radio interview? And somehow this represents an attack on free speech by Obama? Boy, you guys really are digging at the bottom of the barrel for some smear news aren't you. Have fun playing with yourselves boys, the rest of us are going out for a beer.

An organized protest BY the Obama campaign to silence someone from speaking about the connections between Barack and Weather Underground member William Ayers.
