Obama Is a Serious and Dangerous Threat

Few people today know or recall how Obama first won election to public office. He did it by using valid but hyper technical legal arguments to get all of his opponents removed from the ballot, leaving him as the only candidate. He obviously isn't proud of what he did as he has avoided mentioning it in his writings.

Now, his dictatorial instincts are taking a more dangerous turn as he is methodically stifling dissent and seeking to silence criticism of him and his record, and he is using governmental threats and powers to do so.

The examples of the Obama camp harnessing government to extinguish its critics are accumulating at a disturbing pace. If twice is a coincidence and three times a trend, then four times and more is megalomania. Obama has set his lawyers on TV stations airing NRA ads critical of his Second Amendment record, he's called on the Justice Department to shut down the American Issues Project for airing ads highlighting his relationship with Bill Ayers, his ACORN-styled "action wire" regularly calls on its foot soldiers to bombard any radio station brazen enough to invite on Obama-skeptics like David Freddosso and Stanley Kurtz, his "truth squads" have recruited government prosecutors in states like Missouri . . . . And now the latest: the campaign's general counsel Robert Bauer is demanding that the Justice Department punish McCain and certain surrogates for raising objections to ACORN's flagrant and wide-scale voter fraud. Of course, by sticking up for ACORN Obama explicitly rejects his previous and patently false assertion that his relations with the group are limited to some mid-90s legal work.

Even more worrying is what this whole pattern portends. It strongly suggests than in an Obama administration there would be no hesitation to, or limitation on using the forces of government to suppress speech and thus solidify Obama's power.

The media have used enormous resources in an effort to ferret out any and all details about Sarah Palin that they could use to discredit her yet they have never vetted Obama or made any significant effort to do so.
