Obamas Truth Squad?

Missouri Sheriffs' and Prosecutors' Obama 'Truth Squad' Getting Old Media Silence


By Tom Blumer (Bio | Archive)

What if I told you that sheriffs and prosecutors in, say, Indiana, had formed "truth squads" and "subtly" threatened prosecutions of critics of John McCain?
Does anyone think that the New York Times, Washington Post and Old Media in general wouldn't be putting the news on the front page, even with the bailout-apalooza going on in Washington?
Well, there is a "truth squad." It's in Missouri. It includes prosecutors and sheriffs. Oh, and they have formed their truth squad to threaten and intimidate the critics of ..... Barack Obama.
Here is a transcript of a report from station KMOW in St. Louis (first 1:45 of vid; HT Gateway Pundit) that may leave you wondering whatever happened to the country we once knew:

St. Louis County Circuit Attorney Bob McCulloch and St. Louis City Circuit Attorney Jennifer Joyce, both Obama supporters, are threatening to bring criminal libel charges against anyone who levels what turns out to be false criticisms of their chosen candidate for President.
so these people get to decide what's true and not true?

that's pretty outrageous. I guess that's "change we can believe in" eh?

Re: Obamas Truth Squad?

I don't think it's fair to hold Obama liable for the actions of his supporters.

Re: Obamas Truth Squad?

How will democracy fall to communism?

With thunderous applause...

That is why people call Obama the anti-christ, because socialism ushers in communism, something most people hate the thought of.

Most people like communism because Obama is a sweet talker.

How does this have anything to do with economic policies?

True. But then there are the informed people who still hate it because of its principle belief that equality trumps freedom.

i'd normally agree, but according to the video obama's campaign condones this, or at least is quite aware of it.

Uh oh. Maybe the enormous amount of rumors about his America hating and his Allah worshiping (sidenote: it's really sad that muslim has become pejorative) that surfaced when he did just scared them into a state of panic. Or maybe this is not an accurate view of the story (consider the source of this story is newsbusters, and that Stoned Budda posted it ). I dunno. Maybe Obama's campaign is just being a little quick with the censorship. It's definitely possible.

Below are some links to this story that i found on google. When i first read this thread, i was like, "no way, even Obama aint that fucking arrogant, but after googling it i have found i underestimated him. I have a real problem with this, especially the terminology, "Truth Squad" sound like it something straight from Hitlers Gestapo. Another thing, if this was a Republican the dems and liberals would be all over it crying fascist, how come the dems have this double standard when it come to fascistic conduct? If he is elected i can see this as the precursor to the abolishment of talk radio, at least any that people would want to listen to. If hes elected bye bye freedom of speech. And you thought the patriot act was bad, lol.

Speaking of lib double standards.


Unlike Clinton, Biden gets pass for saying he was "shot" at in Iraq

I agree with this

Obama is arrogant, "Truth Squad" sounds kinda Hitler-douchy, democrat double standards, and with Obama being all that arrogant he just might shut down talk radio that talks shit about him. Maybe a swift kick to the nads will bring him down a notch or two.

PS: Where the hell do you american get that he is a "great speaker"?? Everytime I hear a speech of his I feel he doesn´t go all the way, just kinda gets half-way to making a great point or statement and then says "change" or "hope" or some other bullshit happy feelgood whatever that has no real backup.

Or maybe it´s just me
