More Obama gangland tactics: Signs banned at Virginia rally today

NOT ALL COUNTRIES guarantee their citizens the right to virtually unbridled freedom of speech. The United States does. Would someone please tell the campaign of Sen. Barack Obama? And the dozing guardians of liberty at the University of Mary Washington?

Mr. Obama, the Democratic nominee for president, is scheduled to speak at a rally at the university today. The public is invited to this forum, on property it, the public, owns. However, signs and banners will not be allowed, according to the organizers and compliant campus officials. Suddenly, UMW is a First Amendment-Free, or at least a First Amendment-Crippled, Zone, subject to the self-serving preferences of politicos. Why does an Obama rally–or a McCain rally or a Nader rally–justify taking a little off the top of Americans’ most fundamental rights?

A UMW spokeswoman says that the Obama campaign required the sign-and-banner ban. That campaign tells us that the ban is for “security” reasons. But a spokesman for the U.S. Secret Service, responsible for protecting presidential candidates, says that the service has no objection to signs at rallies, provided that no “part of the sign could be used as a weapon”–e.g., a heavy metal pole or a sharpened stick. Finally, the McCain campaign tells us, “We encourage people to make signs at our events.”

Combine this BS with Missouri Governor accuses Obama of "Police State Tactics" and Obama has just clinched the title of ABOMINATION. Even though we now know that even that title doesn't do the scumbag justice.

Malkin doesn't like Obama?

Imagine that.

The Missouri claim is simply false, as a simple perusal of the video the claim is based on would show. I link to it in the other thread.

And the sign outrage is simply stupid. It's a campaign rally. If the campaign wants to ban signs at its rallies, that's their business. Considering most such signs would be supportive of the candidate, it's hard to imagine a sinister motive here.

Lordy.

I am thrilled to hear this. I hope it is true. Finally somebody in the Obama camp getting a backbone.

The GOP must be getting really upset about how McCain's campaign is doing. The false accusations toward Obama are getting loonier and loonier.

Oh, so the Missouri governor is lying or the governors website is lying? What is the "false" that you allude to. It is completely factual that the Missouri governor accused the Obama campaign of "Police State Tactics". Now... quite your lying and distraction.

You aren't the only one thrilled, I am too! Campaign ads need to be cut on the Missouri governor statement.

It's a balancing act I'm sure. The GOP has to respond with the equal loonacy of their candidate.

Follow your own link, find my post, and watch the video that this entire outrage is based on.

Yes, it is. They're either being partisan or stupid. WATCH THE FRICKIN' VIDEO.

Meh. I'll provide the link here.

Please tell me where in the video you hear the Obama supporters talking about prosecuting anybody.
