Shut up about Barack’s Gun Banning History…or We’ll Break Out Chicago-Style Politics
Barack Obama is used to having his way. Interestingly, he is not a fan of people pointing out when he’s lying about things like civil rights, especially that pesky Second Amendment.
That’s why Obama has a team of hired goons – some call them lawyers – to threaten legal action against those who air his record.
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.
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.
Obama – Anti-First & Second Amendments
UPDATE: The letter from Obama’s lawyer.
Also, note the comment from the apparent Obama supporter:
shut down the stations carrying the ads
Yet they can provide no evidence that anything in the ad is false.
UPDATE II: Xrlq has an excellent response to the letter from Obama’s attorney.
No obviously related posts.
[...] bit of what NRA claimed is true. It’s the Obama campaign and the news media that’s lying. UPDATE: Bitter has more. 17 page cease and desist letter from the Obama campaign. [...]
Actually, that’s not the only problem. Another is that even if the ads were not true, they’d still be protected by the First Amendment.
How about threatening stations that run Obama campaign ads. I’m sure a few lies may be found in those.
Great idea, but only if the McCain campaign is the one to deliver the threats. After all, non-candidates “do not have a ‘right to command the use of broadcast facilities,’” only federal candidates do. I’m not kidding; that argument is actually in the letter.

NRA lies
shut down the stations carrying the ads
nlcatter definitely shows how Dems “think”. Like fascist government? Vote Democrat.
Next thing you know, they will be doing goose steps and hailing Hussien.
Check out gateway pundit for the story on how some state prosecutors are abusing their power for Hussein.
It is almost like these scum know their candidate is bent….
NRA LIARS
are EVIL people
nlcatter,
You got any proof that NRA is lying? Their response is very well documented.
You know, somehow calling people evil for not supporting Obama threatening licenses over political disagreements isn’t the way to win many votes. My site is read by mostly independents…
I’m afraid that most people truly won’t recognize the Stalinist tactics that are being routinely used by the Nutty Left in general and the Obama campaign specifically.

IF OBAMA WINS, THE DEMOCRATS WILL HAVE CONTROL OF THE:

THAT’S A NIGHTMARE FOR THE UNITED STATES! NO PARTY SHOULD HAVE THAT MUCH CONTROL!
Shouting gets you moderated on this site until you prove like you can act like you’re older than three.
So, are you willing to operate as a clearing house on what stations have been threatened, and which, if any, have given in to the threats?
I’m certainly willing to contact any that give in.
Greg
Yes, if I find out that information, I’d be happy to serve as the resource. So far I understand that the only ones threatened are in OH and PA.
What Xrig wrote.
Doesn’t matter whether the ads are true — getting bogged down in the “You’re lying!”–”No, you are!!” fight is beside the point.
This is pure, thuggish censorship.
Threatening to shut down the television station if they air these ads? Are you kidding me??
Can’t wait to hear the 1st-amendment absolutists in the MSM try to defend this position.
“shut down the stations carrying the ads”
- – - -
Yeah, right.
We’ve got all the guns. Just try it.
(See? The Second Amendment is an important part of a Complete Constitutional program, giving us the power to enforce the rights.)
the real trouble is the chilling effect from “lawfare” like this. Will they actually sue more than one station? Probably not. How many stations will pull the ad because they don’t want to get in a legal fight with lawyers?
That is the real goal.
The only way to win at this is to somehow figure out how to escalate the battle. Maybe Bar sanctions can be requested against these lawyers for filing or threatening frivolous lawsuits. In other words, start lawfare against the Obama campaign and everyone associated with it.
Obama = Stalin
The NRA should go nuclear and run them in as many states as possible, with an outline of the efforts of Obama’s KGB (NKVD during Stalin) to supress them.

The NRA ads are 100% factual.

Gee, where’s the ACLU?
I just sent another check to the NRA-PVF. They and the NRA-ILF are very good at what they do. That’s how I’ll be fighting back.
If you’re not a member, whether you own guns or not, join. It’s only $25. I know of no other organization solely dedicated to the protection of a Constitutional amendment. The first amendment groups seem to be all about ‘free speech for me, but not for thee’.
If the ads are false, why is Obama threatening TV stations that run them instead of going after the NRA?
If the NRA is lying sue them for libel. But of course, he isn’t because they aren’t.

How did you get the letter? If the Obama camp actually sent that letter, it’s a big deal. Did someone email it to you in PDF format? Did you find a link to it somewhere else? Please explain. That’s why blogs are good, it allows the reader to get to the bottom of a story. If you just post the pdf of the letter without explaining how you came by it, it’s not good blogging and the credibility of the post can be called in to question. I believe the letter came from Obama’s camp, based on their other behavior. But you should make this clear.
Jesus, stop your panic. It came from a station letting NRA know what they were facing by running the ads. The original material is all over the NRA website.
hitler was a leftist, obama is a leftist. both are mass movements, both use propaganda when they see fit, both lied, both went after youth and feminine vote, both were on a platform of change, both had a lot of leftist friends, both share the same policies… (and both are associated with nazis, hitler with the white kind, obama with the black kind (black national socialists), like wright).
everyone wonders how the germans had such a leader… well they got him the same way we are getting the post turtle obama. he was put up by others, he was a mass movement, others funded him, and out of no where, captured the vote and took the state on a wild ride….
of course the left today is exactly the same as the left then, both will put a despot in place claiming that he will bring utopia.
