Is there nothing that Obama can't do?
Obama campaign lawyer Robert Bauer has warned station managers, suggesting their broadcast license might be at risk: "Your station is committed to operating in the public interest, an objective that cannot be satisfied by accepting for compensation material of such malicious falsity."
And I thought my contempt for the MSM couldn't get any bigger. Ignore this issue but cover Bristol's pregnancy 24/7.
Posted by: Boudicae at September 3, 2008 2:17 PMObama the mighty tele-prompter reader,
with the support of his mighty brown-shirts,
working hard to censor all negative facts about him,
looking forward to leading the "Obama Youth Corps".
But you are racist if you attack him, with facts.
I worry about what his 'final solution' will be.
Posted by: Marvin at September 3, 2008 2:34 PMIf the public media was smart they would recognize the restrictive nature of the airways if the 'fairness' doctrine is passed.
It will be the CHRC of the USA.
They should move to McCain full force to protect even the freedoms of the leftist media.
Posted by: John V at September 3, 2008 2:42 PMThis is so common, the left wants free speech only for their views and ideas, any other view point is heresy.
Posted by: Trent at September 3, 2008 2:53 PMProve it, Mr. Bauer.
Posted by: mark peters at September 3, 2008 3:31 PMObama is so close to the oval office he can literally smell the leather of its over sized stuffed chairs..
There is now nothing he will not say, do or have done in order to secure his place there.
If he has to resort to fascist tactics whilst masquerading as a democrat, so be it.

Posted by: Hard Right at September 3, 2008 4:12 PMThe most common sense response to Obama's campaign intimidation is for that media to broadcast this threat immediately and repeatedly, using that media they have threatened.
Unbelievable.
Posted by: Jim R at September 3, 2008 4:21 PMI heard the entire 80 minute show from a link at LGF. In it, I made several shocking discoveries:
1. The show is highly-respected and decades old. It did not have one scintilla of the kind of incendiary tone we expect from talk shows like Rush.
2. The host is a retired prof; you could not imagine a more calm, measured and fair host.
3. Stanley Kurtz, who has a PhD in Anthopology (and post doctoral work) was also extremely calm, measured and fair; and he provided a perfectly valid basis for his excellent work on the Allenberg Challenge.
4. How utterly mindless the pro-BHO callers were, who could not answer even the simplest question from the host, but who could only really say, "stop this, stop this now, it's not fair". etc.
5. The unconsionable disaster that is the 100+ million dollar Allenberg Challenge programme which Obama was chairman of, and which funnelled quite a bit of dough to unrepentant terrorist Ayers. The kinds of projects that got funded (the quintessential hard left sex and ethnic ID nonsense) and the kinds of projects that got denied, like programmes to improve maths skills.
6. The compleat corruption of MSM in not digging into Allenberg, the only thing Obama could claim as evidencing quasi-executive experience.
It is not partisan hyperbole to characterize Obama as a hard left punk communist and America-hater. If he wins it will be a MSM putsch.
Posted by: Me No Dhimmi at September 3, 2008 4:21 PM"malicious falsity" -- a much better description for all the BS flying around re Palin. There is nothing false about the Ayers association. Really makes you want to vote for this guy.
Posted by: Hank at September 3, 2008 4:22 PMIf the Dumbocrats are that keen on keeping that file under wraps, it must be explosive, nuclear.
Where is the MSM when we need them - oh ya they are busy going through the garbage bins of every OBGYN in Alaska.
Posted by: Fred at September 3, 2008 4:28 PMWake up America - before it is too late. This has been the constant thump of the msm on both sides of the NA border for so long that people like Kate (and I) have tuned them out and turned to blogs for our news. The blogs dish out the real news - msm....not so much, mostly vicious gossip and innuendos. Their days, as anything but comic relief, a numbered.
They played people for fools for too long, they belittled our beliefs, our patriotism, our families (if 'family meant Mom, Dad, and the kids), they preached abandonment of our morals and tried to jamb hate for our fellow citizens and our police forces and our military forces down our throats, they informed us that if you liked Conservative values and people, you were a racist, a bigot, a greedy capitalist pig and you hated everyone but yourself.
They have cooked their own dinner and this latest vicious attack on Governor Palin's daughter, husband and baby son (and ignoring the evil buddies of the big O) will cook them all, IMO.
Glenn Beck, Angry and Kate will smile - and so will all people who value Justice and Freedom for ALL.
Posted by: Jema 54 at September 3, 2008 4:46 PMI haven't read the link yet. Is it about Obama threatening MSM sources over viciously attacking 17-year-old girls?
Posted by: andycanuck at September 3, 2008 4:53 PMObama's Islamic education is serving him well.
Posted by: irwin daisy at September 3, 2008 5:19 PMSomething else Obama cannot control is his own Party or supporters. Yesterday Mr. Obama came down from the mountain and told the world that attacks against family members are off limits and must stop.
The reaction to this command seems to be an exponential increase in the family smears agains Gov. Palins family.
How can this be so?
Posted by: ward at September 3, 2008 5:33 PMjema54-While I agree wholeheartedly with your comments, I must disagree with your tuning out of the MSM. I read copious amounts af newspapers on a daily basis and am being trashed by my compatriots for doing so, especially for reading the Red Star and the Mop & Pail. The NY Slimes comes in a good second. My point to them is that if you want to understand your enemy, one must study them and get to know their tactics and points of view, no matter how dispicable that may be.
Keep your friends close, and your enemies closer.
who's going to fight that civil war? the left libs won't. they would have to get others to do it.
Posted by: old white guy at September 3, 2008 5:36 PM"Is there nothing that Obama can't do?"
Yeah. Say or do anything that will get the "neo-cons" to offer anything but the most gentle, milquetoast criticisms of him. After all, he's black, and only Nazis criticize black people, at least in "neo-con" land.
The contrast between the ferocity with which "neo-cons" support war and the light hearted, good natured jabs they throw at this affirmative action case who is a few weeks from becoming president is astonishing.
Like most conservatives I oppose the warmongering of the Bush administration. And yet I have no qualms about supporting McCain. Why? Because ultimately I care *a lot* more about America than Iraq and Afghanistan. You should too.
Posted by: Unimpressed at September 3, 2008 5:48 PMObama has been lauded, even from the right, for coming down form the mountain to order an end to the malicious attacks on Palin's daughter.
Some credit him for his statement and for personalizing it by mentioning that his own mother had him when she was 18.
I saw it differently -- as just another example of his narcissim, his strong tendency to be self-referential.
Posted by: Me No Dhimmi at September 3, 2008 5:57 PMfrom B. Hussein Obama II's birthday August 4 ,1961 it looks like she celebrated her 18 th birthday with a boink.
Stanley Ann Dunham Soetoro (November 29, 1942 – November 7, 1995), known as Ann Dunham, and later as Ann Sutoro[1] was the mother of United States Senator and presidential candidate Barack Obama.[2] Dunham was an anthropologist who specialized in rural development. Born in Kansas, Dunham attended high school near Seattle, Washington and spent most of her adult life in Hawaii.
The great messianic mover for change's will sue to stop freedom of speech. Well at least we know what he now means by change. All must bow before Obama. As he commands , so shall it be done! All Obama , all the time.
Posted by: Revnant Dream at September 3, 2008 8:35 PMI like to follow some of the election stuff just for the jokes and expressions that people come up with. The one I found early in this article is...
Obamatons
Posted by: GreyOne40 at September 3, 2008 8:36 PMMr Obama, I suggest you prove your worth as a leader, sir...I don't see you being able to accomplish my request in the near future!
Posted by: Orlin at September 3, 2008 10:13 PM- Legislating free speech and "tolerance"
- Using lawyers to intimidate the opposition.
- Government departments filing lawsuits to stop the publication of negative stories about themselves under the guise of the "public interest"
Liberals everywhere are the same. I think all Canadians are familiar with this kind of story and we don't like it...
Posted by: Ace at September 4, 2008 12:20 AMGood one, Jema! You make some important points.
