Intimidation you can believe in!
Part-time Senator and full-time Messiah Barack Obama doesn’t like criticism, especially if it’s remotely true or legit. Recall billionaire Harold Simmons who recently paid for an ad which (accurately) connected Senator Infanticide to 1960s terrorist Bill Ayers. Well, Obama doesn’t really like the connection being made despite the fact that Ayers was instrumental in the launching of Obama’s political career. When you can’t get what you want by asking, try intimidation. First Amendment wha?
Obama general counsel Bob Bauer today sent a second, sharper letter to the Justice Department, directly attacking the Dallas billionaire funding a harsh attack ad, Harold Simmons.
“We reiterate our request that the Department of Justice fulfill its commitment to take prompt action to investigate and to prosecute the American issues Project, and we further request that the Department of Justice investigate and prosecute Howard (sic) Simmons for a knowing and willful violation of the individual aggregate contribution limits,” he wrote.
Um, Counsel, his name is Harold, not Howard. If you’re going to urinate on the First Amendment, atleast get the name of your victim correct.
He called the group’s activities “patently illegal.”
Bauer made the case that Simmons’ group fulfilling its a real nonprofit charter because it hasn’t spent any money on anything other than attacking Obama.
The American Issues Project released a statement responding to the letter.
“Having failed in its attempts to get our legal, factual and fully-supported ad off the air, Barack Obama’s campaign now wants to put our donors in prison for exercising their right to free speech,” said Ed Martin, the group’s president. “These over-the-top bullying tactics are reminiscent of the kind of censorship one would see in a Stalinist dictatorship, with the only difference being that those guys generally had to wait until they were in power to throw people who disagreed with them into jail.”
Ha, when you’re The Messiah, there’s no need to wait for power before you officially exercise it.
A profile of terrorist/hypocrite/asshole Bill Ayers
And the ad that Obama wants shut down:
Speaking of shutting down, Stanley Kurtz, a Harvard-educated social anthropologist and a writer for the National Review, recently tried to get the University of Illinois at Chicago to release records pertaining to Obama and unrepentant terrorist/thug Bill Ayers. (Ayers is a professor at the U of I. He should be in prison for life with his terrorist/thug wife, but surveillance violations got them both of the hook. I guess America isn’t so bad after all, eh, Bill?) Ayers and Obama worked on the Chicago Annenberg Challenge (CAC). National Review describes CAC as:
“a major education reform project, proposed by Ayers, which was underwritten by a $49.2 million grant from the Annenberg Foundation, complemented by another $100 million in private and public funding. The project ran for about five years, beginning in 1995.”
The CAC records, said to comprise 70 linear feet of files, have long been maintained at the library of the UIC, the public university where Ayers teaches. This summer, Kurtz made an appointment to review them and, after being assured access, was blocked from seeing them by library administrators, who stammered about needing permission from the “donor” — whom they declined to identify. Kurtz energetically raised public awareness to the stonewalling, and the library finally relented this week.
UIC’s release of the records did not sit well with Obama supporters.
The Messiah is not to be questioned, so Kurtz’s audacity to dig deeper into Obama’s past got him the the Stalinist treatment.
As for terrorist/thug Bill Ayers, these are some of the violent activities he and his Weather Underground committed.
