Headlines for Obama

Barack What First Amendment Obama has sent threatening letters to new agencies in Pennsylvania and Ohio demanding they not run NRA advertisements. This act should be immediate disqualification of him as a candidate on at least two different levels. One is the obvious disrespect he has for the First Amendment (as well as the Second). The other is the crass stupidity. In addition to this being the Internet age where everyone can upload or download almost any video they want in a manner that is virtually impossible to block outside of a hard core police state this makes a news story out of the NRA ads. Which means TV stations are likely to start showing the ads for free!


As Dave Hardy said people will want to see what they are forbidden to see. A psychology prof lecturing about advertising once did a quick survey in his class about signs that were effective in getting the students to spend their money on a product. He was somewhat surprised to find one of the most compelling signs was “Under 17 not admitted without parent or guardian.” Has Obama never learned that people buy and read banned books (get your button here) because they are banned? The same thing applies with guns, ammo, and accessories.


Just think of the headlines (the following are copyright exempt) this act of stupidity will enable:



  • Obama Campaign Running Scared (NRA web page headline)
  • What Obama doesn’t want you to know
  • See the video Obama wants censored!
  • Obama attempts to ban free speech!
  • Obama jumps the gun and goes for the First first
  • Obama imposing “reasonable restrictions” on human rights
  • What’s next? Restrictions on the right to trial by jury?

Someone this out of touch with human nature and the Bill of Rights has no place in American politics.


Update: Barack Enlightened Leader Obama also has local law enforcement pledged to come down on certain anti-Obama ads. This reminds me a lot of the early days of Adolf Hitler. Only here we have these rights specifically enumerated and Obama is, in essence, saying, “Bill of Rights? We don’t need no stinking Bill of Rights!”


Update2: It’s not just Obama! The Democratic Party is trying to suppress free speech. But that is to be expected I guess. It was one of the most liberal Republications and a liberal that brought us McCain-Feingold. Repression of economic and political freedom–it’s what liberals do.

  1. Well, Obama is a product of Illinois politics.

    Lets not forget Harry Reid’s letter, from the Senate, to Limbaugh’s syndication partner, urging him to tell Limbaugh to shut up. That Reid wasn’t immediately impeached is a disgrace.

    Then there’s the “Fairness Doctrine” of yesteryear, which we can expect will be resurrected if Obama wins. None of this is new, of course. Suppression of rights through intimidation is as old as the hills.

    And that reminds me; I don’t how many times I’ve been told, by family or friends, “You better watch what you say…” but it’s been a lot. We’re already in a situation (have been for years) wherein people are hesitant to speak their minds, fearing official retribution.

    Whether we’re becoming a nation of thugs or a nation of cowards is a matter for some speculation. Certainly, cowardice emboldens the thug. They need each other, don’t they?

  2. I remember distinctly reading on your site Joe what you listed as the greatest tripwire that we must watch for. Guess I’ll be stocking up tomorrow at the show more so than planned.

  3. Obama has gotten so used to the main stream media defending him for so long, Obama responds to any opposition by trying to stifle free speech. Obama is trying to weaken America, by taking away our rights to bear arms, by weakening our military, by getting rid of our nuclear weapons, by blocking offshore drilling, by making nice with our enemies, and by proposing an economic policy which will bring us to our knees. If Obama gets elected, within four years, America will be a third world country, at the mercy of tyrants around the world.
