Uh, oh. Looks like those television stations need a little organizin’, and I know just the community organizer to do it. Wiping with the First Amendment trying to assure you’ll get the chance to wipe with the Second Amendment: That’s change we can believe in.
On the heels of threatening the tax-exempt status of a group against Iran getting nukes and shutting down the phone lines and email boxes of radio stations who dare to air information about Obama unapproved by his campaign, Barack Obama has returned to his old standby method of suppressing opposing viewpoints: Threatening the licenses of television stations that air commercials critical of the self-appointed Obamessiah.
This time he’s using the method against ads being run by the National Rifle Association that point out his horrible record on Second Amendment rights. I’m sure the request of a criminal investigation by the DOJ isn’t far behind.
The Obama campaign sent cease and desist letters to news outlets in Pennsylvania and Ohio, denouncing the ads and demanding their removal from the airwaves. All stations where NRA-PVF has purchased or plans to purchase ads have been provided with documented evidence of Sen. Obama’s anti-gun record.
As Bitter points out, the ultimate defense against libel charges is truth.
The only problem is that the ads are based on a real, proven record. If anyone hears of a local outlet turning NRA down, call and complain about how upset you are that they would be so biased.
Maybe the NRA should make that information public on their web site.
Anyway, I don’t know what everyone is so worried about. Even if he did want to stomp on your rights (and what about his behavior would give you that impression?), he doesn’t have the votes in Congress.
