Obama’s Missouri Goon Squad plays the victim
(Create your own Goon Squad Logobama here!)
On Friday, I pointed you to Missouri-based blogger Jim Hoft’s overview of how “St. Louis County Circuit Attorney Bob McCulloch and St. Louis City Circuit Attorney Jennifer Joyce, both Obama supporters, are threatening to bring criminal libel charges against anyone who levels what turns out to be false criticisms of their chosen candidate for President.”
Over the weekend, Missouri Gov. Matt Blunt blasted the Obama campaign’s abusive use of Missouri law enforcement.
Jim has a follow-up this morning on one of the Missouri Obama Goons who is now playing the victim card in the wake of the backlash.
Licking her wounds.
They thought they could get away with it.

The sunset of an “Empire”?
KMOV TV report about the “Obama Truth Squad”:

Thats right, Stormtroopers have rights too. Anyone who lies about Obama’s Truth Squad will be prosecuted now too.
Obama’s ears are small!!!!!
Can I get arrested for that lie? Come get me.
Gov. Blunt Statement on Obama Campaign’s Abusive Use of Missouri Law Enforcement

Michelle O Loves America.
Man, I’m getting hard time now for these lies. Come get me.
I’ll take the Governors word any day over some slimy prosecutor. Mike Nifong is so proud of these goons.
Protect against character attacks? Since when did lib-socialists care about that?
Oh wait. They’re protecting their guy. You can attack the opponent all you want.
Mike Nifong exactly.
The penalty for the abuse of the prosecutor’s office is disbarment.
Give the Goons the hammers of hell.
I obviously missed the new dictionary reference for the word ‘distract’.
Distract-facts that bring light to a subject. Welcome to Obama world, where up is down, right is left, etc.
I feel much better after time in the Obama re-education camp. I can clearly see now that 2 plus 2 does equal 5. Thank you my lord and savior Obama the god emporer (pbuh)
Obama never plays the race card.
Another whopper bound to get me in jail. I’m waiting.
No! 2+2 = whatever you want it to be. Don’t let the Man tell you otherwise! Hail Obama, Our Dear Organizer!
The Obama is, afterall, a National Socialist, so why should it be a surprise that he would have his own “Brown Shirts” to intimidate those who still believe in Freedom of Speech for ALL!
Interpret as, we don’t want you to think for yourselves. We can think for you. We certainly don’t want you to be distracted by information. Deviating from the Obama program is unacceptable.
Re: #4
Small ears? He looks like a Cadillac Eldorado with the doors open!
#4 may have come up with the best battle cry for those of us who refuse to live in the “USSA (United Socialist States of America)”
“Come and get me!”
As in:
You want to arrest me for telling the truth? Come and get me!
You want me to pay not only fr my mortgage but also for the mortgages of welfare frauds and illegal aliens? Come and get me!
You want my Form 1040 and federal income tax payment next year? Come and get me!
Etc.
I’ll go for that if they hold Obama to the same standard!
I went to her web page and e-mailed her and told her Heinrich Himmler would be proud of her attempts to force “Truth Squads” on the populace of Missouri.
I also told her she should quit her job, since she’s obviously unqualified for it, and in her upcoming free time she should maybe read the Constitution.

We must not bow down to this growing intimidation. Obama and his minions are gaining momentum on this while the MSM casts a blind eye. Write letters to the editor of your local paper citing specific examples of how the Obama campaign is violating our free speech rights and our voting rights. Get the word out!
In other 1st Amendment news:
33 Pastors Stand Up For 1st Amendment Rights With Political Sermons
The 1st Amendment prohibits Congress (and the IRS regulations created by them) from restricting religious speech.
The pastors are right. The IRS is wrong.
Lan Astaslem.
All my life these leftest fools have been trying by any means possible to mold my thoughts to be subservient to theirs. Apparently, they’ve finally decided to bring out the dogs to enforce their real desire to control me completely. George Orwell (Eric Blair) saw this in the Spanish Civil War. Use people then sacrifice them. Thankfully, today we can communicate and express ourselves–OOPS! We’re on the verge of losing that. Good luck my friends.
They never did think this stunt would work, it was merely a probe at the defenses of freedom. The defenses held for now…
Eternal vigilance.
redpill, re; The pastors are right. The IRS is wrong.
hope & change?
if ms joyce prosecuted voter fraud in the city of st louis just once, we might believe she is not just a left wing hack. st louis city has one of the highest crime rates in the country, and it’s voting is a continuous joke (2000 & 2004 were both so fraudulent the state had to pass a new law to require photo id’s to at least slow down the dead voter pool. it has just shifted from dead voters to live voters voting absentee and voting at the ballot. the chances of more people voting in the city of st louis than actually live there is huge. acorn has signed up the mentally ill in every nursing home, the prisoners in our jails and prisons, and illegal immigrants at every home depot in the are, but of course ms joyce can’t be bothered to prosecute real crime. she has to dispel truth like the swiftboaters put out about kerry, because of course barack’s mom said he was muslim when she put him in school in indonesia, his father said he was muslim to his other family, and his half family said he is muslim, but he now says he is christian because his wife is christian and dragged him to her racist church.
So it’s not fascism when they do it?
And since when is what they are doing even the function of a prosecutor? If they are doing this under color of authority they should BOTH be fired immediately.
Obama campaign’s silence on this is deafening isn’t it?
http://www.americanarmed.blogspot.com
Interesting how they only felt concerned over Obambi and not McCain or Palin.
These people have all sold their souls to the devil.
It’s ok when McCain hires prosecutors for his Truth (Goon) Squads tho, right?
http://blog.washingtonpost.com/the-trail/2008/01/08/mccain_ready_to_truth_squad.html
Obama needs a Truth Squad because people like the commentors here continue to push lies about Obama (He’s a Muslim, he’s a Marxist, he’s a baby killer).
Why not read a balanced report on this story and stop foaming at the mouth every time MM posts something inflammatory?
http://blogs.abcnews.com/politicalpunch/2008/09/attacking-obama.html
I’m not saying Obama is perfect. Far from it. But you guys push the most fringe, hardcore right-wing crap and you expect it to stick?
You’re a bunch of KOOKS, just like your nemeses at Daily Kos. ‘Cept the IQ at Kos is about 50 points higher.
It is good to know that some sheriffs and prosecutors in Missouri have appointed themselves the arbiter of “truth.” The good citizens of Missouri can sleep peacefully knowing that the government is protecting “truth” in the same way it is protecting their tax dollars in Washington, DC.
How come no one is asking if it is legal for employees of the state of Missouri and its counties, to be so blatantly in the bag for, and working for, one candidate? Are we supposed to believe that all of these people’s efforts are undertaken on their own time? They can’t claim they are performing offical duties under the title of the Missouri “Obama Truth Squad”. Is everyone afraid of being branded a racist if they object? One would think that red flags would be waving all over the place in the ’show-me’ state. I guess now it can be called the ’show-me only if you are an Obama supporter’ state.
Unfortunately, the more that the mainstream media reports that Obama is leading the polls, the more the strong-arm tactics will be manifest.
Congratulations Jennifer Joyce – welcome to the Gestapo.
As public servants, they might have had a better chance if they had said they were going to police all campaign ads for untruthfulness regardless of who they were for or against. To single out only the ads against Obama was dumb.
I wonder if they were going to include product endorsements and product advertisements as well – not that there are any whoppers told there
.
Obama! Inexperience we can count on!
I’ll give a $1000 to your favorite charity this morning if the average IQ at Kos is higher than mine. Seriously.
They will get away with it (i.e. getting Obama elected) unless the McCain campaign stands up and starts using this clear suppression of free speech in his own campaign ads.
McCain is throwing this election. Where the he** is he???!?!?!???!!!!!???
Barry Odopey is a baby killer, the ones that survived botched late-term abortions….sue me.
With all due respect, iamsaved, I must disagree. The “truth” is that it is perfectly legal to “lie”, unfortunately. It is the voter who is the arbiter of a statement’s veracity; it is not the role of the police to oversee and address the truthfulness of free speech.
This is a very serious abuse of power in Missouri. We should all be concerned.
No, it is not……..
No, he doesn’t……..
The beauty of the First Amendment is the right of people to correct things themselves. There’s no need 99.44% of the time for lawyers, sheriffs, prosectors, etc. etc. etc. etc. being the proctors of free speech.
As the Russians say at the ballet that’s a bunch of “Bolshoi.”
If any of these politicians feel they are libeled they have legal recourse. Personally, I think Obama is a wimp, whose never taken a political punch till now, throws tantrums when he gets hit, and is gutless hiding behind his surrogates. Lucky for him his opponent is not Richard Nxon. What a pansy!
Truth Squad = Ministry of Truth
…not as heinous but he also voted to raise taxes on anyone making more than $31,000ish a year, and now he’s claiming taxes will go down for everyone making under $250,000 while funding huge programs while the national debt continues to grow. He and his truth squads object to facts like that.
Your right tettes, those are lies and half truths…and we should fix them so no one will misunderstand.
Obama was a muslim and now be is a secularist black theologian that masquerades as a Christian.
Obama is not Neo-Marxism.
Obama is not a baby killer. He is one that believes its ok to stand by and whatch others kill babies because it is beneficial to him.
Obama is
notNeo-Marxism.tettes re:
Obama needs a Truth Squad because people like the commentors here continue to push lies about Obama (He’s a Muslim, he’s a Marxist, he’s a baby killer).
OK, so he is much too narcissistic to be a muslim, you may be right there… but he did attend a madras, no?
Marxist, baby killer? errrr, Socialized medicine providing late term abortions… kinda hard to explain away, no?
Spare us your self-righteous blather. Did you even bother to read the articles you linked to? One was from McCain’s efforts in Jan 2008 to protect himself during the primaries and plainly states that the goal is to inform the voters of truth in opposition to negative attack ads. The Palin ‘truth’ group is composed of people from different states to expose the negative, and for the most part untrue, attcks on her and her character. Notice no law enforcement officals to intimidate anyone.
http://www.johnmccain.com/Informing/News/PressReleases/e015318a-8439-468e-97a8-2e1c1e5039a0.htm
The ‘truth squad’ in Missouri is looking for lawsuits to file to suppress free speech. That was a stated intention of the group. Prosecutors and sherriffs could conceivably intimidate people into silence.
Obama has already used letters to the FEC and the FCC to try to suppress opposition to his candidacy.
There is a huge difference between the aims of the different groups. Yet it somehow escaped someone of your vast intellect.
A fairly high IQ is typical of the posters on this site. It shows in the substance and style of their writing, as opposed to the lunatic rants commonly presented at KOS. Even more importantly, common sense is in great abundance here. That is a trait that you and your KOS-buds don’t have to worry about, as it was not included in your genetic make-up. Hey, maybe we here at MM can contribute some stem-cells to you guys and after injecting them, they could possibly increase your IQ and your common sense levels!
Not at all, just get upset and state it’s not true and attack the source for mentioning it. The public’s 15 second attention span does the rest. Seems to be working like a charm for Obama so far.
I had to watch that video four times because I could not believe my eyes. How on earth as government employees are they getting away with politicking
while on the clock?
I’m a government employee. Every.single.election season in our jurisdiction, we receive a memo from on high warning us as to the evils which shall befall us if in the course of our duties we show partiality or favor to one candidate over another. It’s against the law, for God’s sake!
Unreal. Just unreal.
Here’s my Logobama.
Fascists, one and all.
travlinman, re: …Hey, maybe we here at MM can contribute some stem-cells to you guys…
But that would upset Darwin’s plan, no?
We can agree that Obama is no Good Samaritan, having no mercy on a baby born alive after a botched abortion.
Is “Baby Killer” a huge stretch?
Ironically, it was an “expert in the law” who needed Christ’s instruction on who to love in the story. Questioning Obama’s claim to Christianity is equally as understandable.
Guess I’ll be arrested, too.

I was just taking into consideration of how much the left pushes stem-cell research. If they took the cells from our butts and injected into the average liberal’s brain, it would probably increase their collective IQ’s by 15-20 points. I fully understand that the bell curve for liberals is a unilateral distribution skewing hard towards imbecile. Maybe our a$$ matter could introduce enough cells to get them past the moron stage. Maybe then we could advance the cause and and increase the IQ of our voters and thus, the number of conservatives in this country. That is change I could believe in.
Yep -you people are in big trouble, your right to tell lie is being challenged – what will people like you do?
There’s an option – tell the truth!
yohannbiimu,
I hadn’t looked at yours but followed suit.
http://evangelicalperspective.blogspot.com/2008/09/my-new-obama-logo.html
travlinman, uhhhh couldn’t we just let them die off cause they can’t figure out who to feed themselves???
how to…
Here’s another relivant Logobama.
“Ilovemycountry” now who is challenging THAT lie?
Here’s yet another.
There have been action after action that no matter how much he poses in the center, this totalitarian will never govern our country from the center.
Come and get me, truth squad.
Okay, Municode.com tells me the position of St. Louis County Prosecutor is an elected one.
That makes the partisanship a bit more understandable, albeit not excusable.
However! Municode.com also tells me this:
Any legal eagles in the house care to comment?
Only, if we can agree upon a method to accelerate the process. I am not a patient man. Hey! How about a war between all of the 2nd amendment types (that would be me) and those who do not believe in, or own guns?
That’s the point, Ilovemycountry. Who decides if it’s the truth? The government? That’s what is happening here! Government officials are saying, “Tell the truth or we’ll come after you!”
What if I do tell the truth, but these two government officials “determine” that it is a lie?
My father fought in WWII to stop this kind of government. Now YOU are happy to bring it back. How dare you and your liberal fascist storm troopers try to intimidate me into regurgitating your lies for you.
The Freedom of Speech exists to protect speech we don’t like! If everyone agreed with everything that everyone said, we wouldn’t need the protection for free speech. Do you get that? Idiot!
travlinman, NO! they will just hire shooters(eg: Rosie, & probably, foreign undocumented ones at that). Natural selection is the way to go. Let the stupid be their own demise.
Sorry redpill, I was undecided till I read this, from a McCain supporter nonetheless:
Johnson said he must connect the dots because he is not sure that all members of his congregation can do so on their own.
I expect talk like that from my betters, like Obamessiah and Clair “cancer survivors can screw themselves” McCaskill.
Alright. Dang it, I just can’t have any fun anymore!
Cockroaches, mice, molds and other vermin do prefer to hide in dark places–they do not do well in the light of day.

Just one more.
Thank you, TooMuchTime #66. You explained it beautifully.
ilovemycountry does not seem to understand that truth, by liberal standards, has always been relevant, shady, oh-how-we-love-our-gray-areas, etc. It is conservatives who have been far more clear about it.
It has never been the governments role to do get involved in defining truth, however.
Liberals don’t see the damage that they’re doing.
If you look closely there is a copywrite symbol next to the word “truthful”. Sort of like Real(c) Cheese…
vickisoup, (#74) you are welcome.
Understanding that simple fact is at the heart of all that is wrong with political correctness and “hate speech,” whatever that is.
Since liberals disagree with anything logical, scientific, or rational, whenever someone uses reason, logic, and common sense to point out the faults in liberals beliefs, it becomes “hate speech” because the liberals hate it.
Oh yeah. The all-inclusive liberals.
Go to the People’s Cube for The Current Truth(tm). You will notice that it is subject to change without notice.
The Truth is whatever Big Obrother says it is. Resistance is futile. You will be assimilated. Arbeit macht frei!
I’ve just read “Invasive Procedures” Orson Scott Card, this weekend. The antagonist of the story was surgically inserting DNA, memories, and personality to the protagonist to create little clones of himself.
Isn’t that thought process more liberal than conservative?
Yes, it would be nice if liberals had rudimentary reasoning skills, but alas, then conservatives would have not antagonist to defeat.
grrrr, “have not” should be “not have”
Well, Missourians, at least you know how to vote next time these goobers are up for election!
My Goon Squad logo is here:
Perhaps I’ll enhance it and kluge together some St Louis City & County logo art into it, and ring it all with something like “Obama Goon Squad – To Serve and Protect,” taken from St Louis County LE.
