Obama Using Full Range Of Federal And State Power To Silence Dissent, Intimidate Voters
The thing I like about Obama's legal thuggery is that it's never boring. It's not just the same federal agencies attacking the same US citizens over and over again. He changes it up. Sometimes it's the Secret Service that gets sicked on you...
The caller was a female Obama volunteer who asked if Jessica would support Obama for president. Jessica replied, "No, I don't support him. Your guy is a socialist who voted four times in the state Senate to let little babies die in hospital closets; I think you should find something better to do with your time." Then Jessica hung up... The next day, a man and a woman in suits showed up at the door of her home, identifying themselves as members of the Secret Service.... The male agent then displayed a file with Jessica's full name prominently printed on it and asked her how she felt about Obama.
... sometimes it's the Justice Dept...
Oct. 17 (Bloomberg) -- Barack Obama's campaign asked the U.S. Justice Department to expand a special prosecutor's investigation to include possible improprieties surrounding reports the FBI is looking into voter fraud in the presidential race. Obama's campaign attorney said the investigation should look into a leak to the news media that the FBI is probing allegations of voter registration fraud by a grassroots organization called ACORN. The group's activities were denounced by Republican nominee John McCain in the Oct. 15 presidential debate.
... and sometimes it's just out and out legal persecution:
"State and local officials are investigating if state and law-enforcement computer systems were illegally accessed when they were tapped for personal information about "Joe the Plumber."... Public records requested by The Dispatch disclose that information on Wurzelbacher's driver's license or his sport-utility vehicle was pulled from the Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles database three times shortly after the debate. Information on Wurzelbacher was accessed by accounts assigned to the office of Ohio Attorney General Nancy H. Rogers, the Cuyahoga County Child Support Enforcement Agency and the Toledo Police Department.
I mean - the campaign does seem to have something of a preference for the Secret Service. Maybe it makes them feel like they're already in the White House, a fantasy that they've been indulging in for the entire campaign and which they've now elevated to new hubrisitic heights with a pre-election inaugural speech. But you have to appreciate how they don't get into a rut, and how they're willing to use the full breadth of federal and state power to intimidate voters and silence dissent.
