Obama's Censorship Attempt

When David Freddosso, author of "The Case Against Barack Obama," a well-researched book that, if enough people read it will SINK the Obama campaign was engaging in a taped debate on a popular Chicago radio show, "Extension 720," Obama sent out a mass e-mail to supporters telling them to call in and demand the show be canceled because Freddosso "has made a career out of dishonest (sic), hate-mongering (sic), even calling legislation to protect people from hate crimes 'thought police.' " That last might be true, but not under Obama's wording. "Thought police" legislation just adds one more layer of "enforcement" to crimes that already have a punishment, and represents "double punishment" for what a person is THINKING. Since when do we lhave laws against THINKING? So ANY right-thinking person would be against it. In any case, they wanted the show summarily canceled (pure censorship of ideas he doesn't agree with), not knowing it was on tape. Obama particularly disliked the sentence telling people he wanted to "raise taxes on the rich," the "rich" being described as anyone making more than $32,500 a year. Obama is well known to wish to "tax the rich," but over $32,000 a year (he actually voted FOR a bill that did just that)? I used to make more than $40,000 a year, and I wasn't anything LIKE rich--and that was in a time when $40,000 a year was real money. Rich? Not on your life! Obama is a socialist and a "rich-hater," even though he, himself, is rich. He just hates those who make THEMSELVES rich through hard work and good ideas. Not the "coupon-clippers" like Teddy Kennedy and his ilk who INHERITED all their money and haven't needed to do a day's work their whole life). Do you want that kind of man in the White House where has REAL power? (Timothy Carney/Human Events)
