More crying & free speech suppression by the Obama Campaign

Thursday, August 28th, 2008

This story out today from the Chicago Tibune. We talked about the Obama Campaign trying to use the Justice Department to go after TV stations, & Sinclair Broadcasting for airing an ad on Barack Obama’s relationship with unrepentant terrorist William Ayers.. Well now they are going after radio as well with reckless abandonment of the 1st amendment.

I’ve said it before & I’ll say it again. If this story wasn’t true, there’s no way they’ve be spending so much time trying to squelch the free speech of others to suppress it. Below is the text of an e-mail they sent out to reporters, asking them to contact the station to convince them to keep Stanley Kurtz off the air, & from talking about the Obama/Ayers relationship.

What’s interesting to me, is that they could choose to sue him for libel if what he’s saying isn’t true, or get some air time to talk about their side of the story. The problem is, they don’t want to talk about it, because it’s all true. They want to SILENCE people mafia style, through intimidation, insults, & personal attacks. It’s not going to work. Here is their e-mail to supporters (without their smear on Stanley Kurtz.) If you want to read that, it’s at the link above. I’m not putting it on my site, because much of it is completely untrue.

August 28, 2008
In the next few hours, we have a crucial opportunity to fight one of the most cynical and offensive smears ever launched against Barack.

Tonight, WGN radio is giving right-wing hatchet man Stanley Kurtz a forum to air his baseless, fear-mongering terrorist smears. He’s currently scheduled to spend a solid two-hour block from 9:00 to 11:00 p.m. pushing lies, distortions, and manipulations about Barack and University of Illinois professor William Ayers.

Tell WGN that by providing Kurtz with airtime, they are legitimizing baseless attacks from a smear-merchant and lowering the standards of political discourse.

Call into the “Extension 720″ show with Milt Rosenberg at (312) 591-7200

(Show airs from 9:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m. tonight)

Then report back on your call at http://my.barackobama.com/WGNstandards

Kurtz has been using his absurd TV appearances in an awkward and dishonest attempt to play the terrorism card. His current ploy is to embellish the relationship between Barack and Ayers.

Just last night on Fox News, Kurtz drastically exaggerated Barack’s connection with Ayers by claiming Ayers had recruited Barack to the board of the Annenberg Challenge. That is completely false and has been disproved in numerous press accounts.

It is absolutely unacceptable that WGN would give a slimy character assassin like Kurtz time for his divisive, destructive ranting on our public airwaves. At the very least, they should offer sane, honest rebuttal to every one of Kurtz’s lies.

Kurtz is scheduled to appear from 9:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m. in the Chicago market.

Calling will only take a minute, and it will make a huge difference if we nip this smear in the bud. Confront Kurtz tonight before this goes any further:

Please forward this email to everyone you know who can make a call tonight.

Keep fighting the good fight,

I guess in Obama’s mind, trying to suppress the speech of the opposition is “the good fight”. Well if he wants a “fight”, we’ll keep bringing it to him.

Boy are the Obama people terrified by the Ayers revelations. They are pulling out the gestapo tactics now..

Let’s put the keywords “Barack Obama” & “William Ayers” at the top of Google trends shall we?

Wednesday, August 27th, 2008

What could be better than watching how Google reacts to having their liberal leaning search engine used to bring out the truth about Barack Obama & William Ayers? Not Much!

They have a service called “Google Trends Labs“, which is being used by a lot of marketers & companies to find out what people are interested in. Also, many people check it just to see what the world is interested in. Imagine the powerful statement we could make as Conservatives if we put the keywords “Barack Obama”, & William Ayers on the top of the searched Keywords list?

Here, I’ll make it easier for you. Just click on this link once or twice a day, & you’ll have contributed to the stats, & will have already helped expose Obama’s friendly relationship with an unrepentant domestic terrorist! You can also enter the keywords into Google manually of course!

If you have a website or blog, please ad this method to it! Together bloggers will shed due light on the Ayers/Obama relationship, & then let the American people decide if they want to elect a man that shares ideas with a terrorist bomber, who’s group members went on to killed American policemen.

Please pass this method on grass root style!

Thanks, ~Dan Lee

Obama Campaign forgets first amendment, & becomes completely unhinged over Ayers ad

Tuesday, August 26th, 2008

Apparently the Obama campaign is so incensed about the effectiveness of the American Issues Project Ad on his relationship with admitted terrorist William Ayers, they are asking the DOJ to prosecute the groups leader, Harold Simmons.

Of course they don’t have a leg to stand on in their request. It’s all just a bunch of saber rattling & deflection, to distract people from the fact that Obama did indeed befriend & unrepentant domestic terrorist, & share ideas with him..

Now, the Obama campaign is engaged in actually telling people what they will or will not say, or else.

I will ask again. If none of this is true, then why don’t you sue for libel Mr. Obama!? He’s not going to do that, because that will attract more media to a story that he knows is both true, & damaging (as it should be when you befriend terrorists) to his presidential bid, plain & simple.. He would then also have to win in court on the merits of his complaint, which has absolutely no (you guessed it) MERITS!

Michelle Malkin has done a great job covering this story as usual, & has the rebuttal letters from the American Issues Project. Sounds like the AIP anticipated the Obama team’s antics, & have all they ducks in a row legally. Now it’s gonna be Biden/Obillary “08″? He’s gonna need a miracle as this story is beginning to gain traction in the media. They are coming along kicking & screaming, but they can’t deny the truth forever.

Barack Obama makes direct threats to the First Amendment rights of TV Stations to air William Ayers Ad

Tuesday, August 26th, 2008

The Obama Campaign sought to block stations from airing a commercial highlighting Barack Obama’s friendship with admitted terrorist William Ayers, by warning station managers and asking the Justice Department to intervene. (Jeepers Creepers Obama! Already trying to recruit secret police huh?) The campaign also planned to compel advertisers to pressure stations that continue to air the anti-Obama commercial.

Well if it were defamation, then why doesn’t he sue? It’s because the loss would be an embarrassment. Here’s the ad that has the Obama campaign running in circles screaming that the sky is falling. If it weren’t all true it wouldn’t upset them, & they would just ignore it. Wouldn’t they have better things to spend their time on if it weren’t?

Now here is Obama’s response to the Ayers relationship during the primaries. If you listen closely to what he says, you can see that he’s trying to dance around the relationship with Ayers. One notable statement by Obama was that “he doesn’t exchange ideas with Ayers, on a regular basis”. Hmmm…. On a regular basis. Who says what a “regular basis” is? So wouldn’t it have been more appropriate if he said unequivocally that “I never exchanged ideas with that man, because he’s an unrepentant terrorist? ” He doesn’t say that though, does he? Instead, he dances & plays with words to avoid being caught in a lie later. In the video Hillary Clinton points out that the relation was just a little deeper than what he’s letting on. She’s right..

Now Hillary would throw anyone under the bus to get elected, but that doesn’t mean what she said isn’t true. However, now that she has no chance to get elected, she’ll eventually fall in line & try to pretend that those things were never said. Liberals do that, because they are like “The Borg“, or “The Collective”. They are unable to think apart from each other for too long, or they get intellectually anemic.

“Strength is irrelevant, resistance is futile. We wish to improve ourselves. We will add your biological and technological distinctiveness to our own. Your culture will adapt to service ours.” -The Borg

They expect everyone else to fall in line with their ideologies too, which is why Barack Obama (Mr. Constitutional law professor) is trying to stop TV stations from airing the ad about Ayers. He doesn’t care about the first article of the Constitution (Free Speech), because in this case it’s inconvenient for him. He knows the truth is going to hurt here, & he wants to silence those who would put it forth with due diligence. No Presidential candidate we’ve ever elected has been so cruel to our core values, & the Constitutional values of our forefathers, as Barack Hussein Obama.

Out of Left Field… The story of a reporter who could channel Hitler like no other.

THOUGHT POLICE
THE LEFT VS. FREE SPEECH
Hitler: They won’t tell you that he came from the left.

AFTER a lecture to the Marine Memorial Association last week, a reporter thrust a mike toward me and asked if I thought I should be tried for war crimes for my columns in The Post supporting our military.

The reporter - who avoided revealing what outlet he was with - thought he was being wonderfully clever, but what fascinated me about the silly encounter (it was in San Francisco, after all) was how unintentionally revealing it was about the shameless hypocrisy of the left.

Do you ever wonder if most of the way far lefitst freaks in the Main Stream media are “reporters” because they are too uncreative to create news themselves? Maybe they have to wait for someone else to say something worth commenting on, before they become relevant themselves? Just food for thought..

Great article Ralph Peters! Thanks to Bob Parks for the hookups.

The Wussification of America

Tuesday, April 15th, 2008

When I was a kid, (Not really all that long ago), it was not unusual for us to get a little bored in class, & then draw a picture of a little stick figure holding a gun, & shooting the proverbial “bad guy”. Our teachers then, whether they agreed or not, respected our first amendment right to express ourselves in any way we wanted to, as long as it wasn’t physically violent or disruptive. Now, if a child draws a picture of even just a gun, or even a squirt gun, you have fascist liberal teachers dragging children down to the principles office to suspend them.
That is nothing short of indoctrination into someone else’s political & social views, & these days if YOUR child doesn’t comply, they face punishments & sanctions.

Of course sane people know that a drawing of a gun, or a depiction of a violent act is not necessarily a bad thing, but rather for some kids a way to express & process what goes on in the world around them. I was one of those creative kids. As I was growing up, I was eventually in possession of real guns, & still do have real guns & ammunition, yet I’ve never even come close to shooting anyone.. Guns are no different than cars. If you point them at a person, & either pull the trigger or run them over, they may die. It’s that simple. Yet liberals try to demonize the possession of guns as they drive around in their deadly little silver boxes. Well like for instance Al Gore’s son, who was arrested in his Toyota Prius doing 100 mph, with pot smoke billowing out the windows. Clue: Pot smoke is bad for the environment, & even a Prius will cause pollution at 100 mph, but I digress..

The point is, children are being taught in public schools that guns are bad. Yet liberals leave cars alone, (even though they are one of the true leading killers of people in America & beyond) because they drive those themselves & at least at this stage, know better than to go there with the public. They are selectively wussifying our children, in order to indoctrinate them into their way of twisted thinking. Many schools are dropping playground activities like tag, dodge ball, ect.. because well.. “children could be hurt”, & even getting rid of grades claiming that the grading system only serves to damage their self confidence.

Meanwhile these are the same liberals who pump Yo MTV at little girls all day, & poison them into thinking that their looks & how much thong they can show above their low rider jeans determines their value. It’s no wonder that they send nude pictures to prospective boyfriends these days. Notice that in this story about nude picture sharing, it wasn’t school officials that discovered it, but rather a responsible parent. Only then did the school get involved in this case I’ve linked. That’s because school officials are too busy pontificating over kids who draw pictures of guns, or chase each other in the schoolyard playing tag. Besides, since we know that most teachers these days are either liberal, or imprisoned by the education policies OF liberals, how can such a vile group question the morality of students? No, they’d rather chastise them for the issues that mean the most to the liberal teachers unions. Things like Gay rights, Gun Control, & keeping those gang banging religious freaks &/or any of their doctrine completely out of the school. Oh, & you for sure better not take a call from your father serving in Iraq, because a liberal school teacher won’t have any of that either, since they don’t feel that he should be there in the first place..

There’s a war INSIDE our country people, & it’s only going to get worse if we keep electing Democrats into office. That’s the bottom line. Democrat politics are flawed by always going with the flow of even the angriest & senseless whims of any mob of activists that happen to fall together.

That is why our forefathers gave us a Republican governmental system, & not a Democratic one, because they new what turmoil that would lead to.

“Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to have for lunch.”
“An empire is a despotism,” wrote Adams, “and an emperor is a despot, bound by no law or limitation but his own will.”

-John Adams

As you can see from things like Teachers Unions (for instance) Adams was right. They have no problem with imposing their own will on our children, & thus trying to cement their twisted form of government for our future into the minds of children. That’s why teacher’s unions hate homeschooling. They can’t get their grubby little ideologies into your kids heads if they can’t get to them. A Great Example Here. They do this by ensuring a liberal voting base through this devious form of systematic brainwashing. It’s vitally important for our survival as a nation, that you don’t let these people raise & wussify your children. After all, at some point these teachers actually have more time with them than YOU DO.

THAT fact, is some serious food for thought! ~Dan Lee

Intellectual & Media elitist Helen Thomas attacks the free speech & integrity of bloggers.

Sunday, January 6th, 2008

Helen Thomas quote:

“What I really worry about is that I think the bloggers and everyone, everyone with a laptop thinks they’re journalists,” Thomas said. “And, they certainly don’t have our standards. They don’t have our ethics, and so forth. There’s a deterioration,” she continued. “Reporters laid down on the job in the run up to this [the Iraq] war.”

Thomas made those remarks in a January 4 round-table discussion that followed the premiere of a documentary about the National Press Club 100th anniversary, “The National Press Club at 100: A Century of Headlines.”

Dan Lee Comments:

As a blogger who readily admits I’m not a part of the “Journalism” profession, I’m very glad I’m not. To be a part of that largely corrupt group of so called “Professionals” known as the Main Stream Media, would be to sell my soul to the devil, for a guaranteed opportunity to force my opinions into virtually every home in America, & call it “reporting the news.”

What I am is an American citizen with a voice, who is exercising my first amendment rights out of concern for my country. I know that frightens the status quo media folks who have turned the news into information brokering, a way of controlling, brainwashing, & ultimately fleecing the masses in our country by endorsing those with whom they are politically aligned. But like anyone with a conscience & a soul that still belongs to God & themselves, I want no part of that.

The difference between bloggers & the main stream media of course, is that no blogger I’ve ever read has ever claimed to be “Your only source for News & Events”. On the contrary, we tend to link to competitors who may have differing opinion, because we believe in a system of checks & balances, as well as actual free speech & information sharing, not the kind of “information sifting & filtering” that’s become the norm for the old guard that Helen Thomas helped to create.

Helen Thomas & her kind are afraid of bloggers, because we represent something her “profession” as a whole lost sight of many decades ago now, & that is the ultimate higher calling of the media. It is to serve their fellow man by providing the information needed to make life decisions, (often in reaction to the information provided) based on wisdom & knowledge that we are all taught in school, or acquire through spiritual wisdom & provenial grace.

We don’t need the media to make up our minds for us, or arbitrarily filter the information to us that they feel is relevant, or in their opinion “important”, but yet somehow the media has made themselves the gatekeepers of all common sense & relevance. The “news” they “allow” us to see or here is “the gospel according to their editors”, instead of a word for word, or pictured chronicle of events.

To Helen Thomas; The problem your industry has is that the general public is tired of your narrow opinions about “why” news happens, & would just like you to spend more time reporting it without always needing to have an analysis or opinion, as if without you, no man or woman could make up his or own mind, & would fail to understand it. You are gatherers & disseminators of information, you are not Gods, Kings, or Queens who issue their judgments & decrees upon the rest of us.

In short Helen Thomas, you may not see me as a “journalist” with your “ethics” & “standards”, but who in hell are you to pontificate at your very readers & customers what is a good product?

I bring my car to have the oil changed not because I can’t do it myself, but because I want to spend my time doing other things. However if I can’t find a shop to do it right? I’ll do it myself again. I’ll go find out what the right Oil filter part number is for my vehicle, & buy the parts myself, & do the work myself. Similarly, when YOUR customers Helen Thomas don’t think you’re doing a good or honest service for us, WE WILL get it done with or without you, & YOU WILL HAVE TO TAKE MY LAPTOP OUT OF MY COLD DEAD HANDS BEFORE YOU STOP ME from ideating (EITHER ALONE OR WITH OTHERS) on how to make or keep the country I Love a better place. If that goes against your “journalism standards”, then DON’T READ MY BLOG YOU OLD MINDED,UNPROGRESSIVE, SELF ABSORBED COOT! How ironic that those who have the most incentive to champion the first amendment, are using it to try & suppress the free speech of others selectively.
