The Obama truth squads will


The Obama truth squads will get their uniforms sent out next week. They have leather straps which run over their shoulders, cute little caps, dark gabardine slacks and patent leather shoes, and brown shirts with a swastika emblem embroidered on the left upper arm.

They will also have their own newspaper. It will be called Obama Beobachter.

Obamination


Obama turning your home into a Police State!

While half of Americans are regurgitating Obama campaign slogans Obama is systematically destroying our Constitution and stealing our freedom. Every vote for Obama tears a small piece off our constitutions. How long before these Obama truth squads turn into Obama death squads. There has never been a candidate as dirty or dangerous in the country. You would have to look into European history to find his evil equal. Wake up America.

Let me ask them three questions: a- Logan Act; b- Nafta and c- birth certificate.

No Obama Has Global Ambitions


A bold maneuver, unprecedented in American politics, has pitted the Obama campaign against freedom of speech. Missouri authorities will pursue criminal charges against those who speak “falsely” against Barack Obama.

"Enlisting Missouri law enforcement to intimidate people and kill free debate is reminiscent of the Sedition Acts - not a free society.” (From a statement issued by Governor Matt Blunt on Sept. 24) . . .

The so-called "Truth Squad" is itself is a smear


The very establishment of this so-called "Truth Squad" is a smear against the McCain campaign, in that it suggests that McCain is putting out nothing but lies and smears about Obama.

Truth Squad Goon Squad


The First Amendment, and the rest of the constitution matter little to people who believe that the ends justify the means. For the Obamatons and their fellow travelers on the left, Winning is worth trashing everything. They have threatened us with unrest and riots, and now they threaten us with Lawyers and Prosecutors.

There is no bound they would not break.

For them, the ends justify the means.

We have to ask, "If they would do this now, what else will they do later?"

Liars as "Truth Squad" Members?


Rendell (the budget is fine, but now raise the gas tax please), Murtha (our Marines are murderers), Onorato (Drink tax is the only option Harrisburg gave me) and Ravenstahl (I'll pay the former head of the URA $100,000 to shut up about the corruption) as members of a "truth" squad? Please. Shows zerObama is in bed with liars and thieves of PA just like he is in Chicago.

Hope I don't get arrested for saying this.

Truth Squads


Perhaps the truth squads should tell the truth--about Obama.

St. Louis TV covered it.


The Barack Obama campaign is asking Missouri law enforcement to target anyone who lies or runs a misleading TV ad during the presidential campaign.

Obama has been selling ads


Obama has been selling ads with lies. I am surprised that the man is not arrested for this lies. The truth would be what should be supported.

truth squad


It seems to me the first to be arrested is the Obama people..I have not heard anything even remotely resembling the truth comming from them.....If Americans don't wake up soon they will be suffering from the largest case of buyers remorse they have ever had....I do not wish to be uhhhed to death...For those of those of you who do you have my pity...

There is more!


Apparently, these same tactics hearken back to complaints by the HRC campaign about caucus abuses in the beginning of the year. This article http://www.israpundit.com/2008/?p=3262
links these complaints by Senator Clinton's campaign with Governor Blunt's similar complaint about Obama's campaign tactics.

Add to this the events transpiring in your own state of PA, and we have an unfolding story that is... SCARY AS HELL!

This is terrifying. And remember...this man could be President. What horrors would he inflict on the Bill of Rights then?

I am horrified that this goes all the way up to the Governor. Gov. Blunt was the one that blew the whistle in MI, but this Governor is in on it!

The first patriots died in defense of Freedom of Speech


Thank God my congressman Joe Sestak is not on this list. I'm going to write to him to thank him and also to ask if the Dem party has lost its collective mind.

Burlington Vt Man Jailed for 36 Hours


A Burlington Vermont man was arrested and thrown in jail for 36 hours because some middle aged ladies working at a campaign table in the town square did not like the idea that he asked them about Obama's connection to Zbigniew Brzezinski. They called the cops who then followed this guy who was an engineer.  The guy could not believe that the cops were serious. But they were. This is what will happen under an Obama presidency. Freedom of speech will be gone unless it's politically correct. This man is the next Hitler. http://www.rense.com/general83/over.htm

The Truth Squad Mullahs of Pennsylvannia have joined with the Enlightened ones of the states of Missouri and Vermont in issuing a Fatwah against those infidels that cast the shadow of lies against the Great Ayatollah Obama. Persecution awaits the infidels who speak against the great one.
