Obamavirus-Spreading Out of Control

You should start saying goodbye to the 1st Amendment. The man that helped give us FISA, wants to take away your freedom of speech. As the earlier post showed barky had started his “Truth Squads” they are in PA now and coming to a town near you.

The Obama campaign today announced they are rolling out the Pennsylvania Truth Squad – a group of elected and community leaders from around the state who they say will be proactive in letting Pennsylvanians know the truth in the face of the distortions by the McCain campaign.

The mission of the Truth Squad will be to respond to accusations the Obama campaign perceive as false.

UPDATE

barky is acting just like he’s in Germany banning signs at rallies.  Don’t want to see the protesters now do we barky?  The propaganda must be unsoiled.

This is a rally on a public campus, the home town newspaper, the Fredericksburg Free Lance Star is all over it, and none too happy.

NOT ALL COUNTRIES guarantee their citizens the right to virtually unbridled freedom of speech. The United States does. Would someone please tell the campaign of Sen. Barack Obama? And the dozing guardians of liberty at the University of Mary Washington?

Mr. Obama, the Democratic nominee for president, is scheduled to speak at a rally at the university today. The public is invited to this forum, on property it, the public, owns. However, signs and banners will not be allowed, according to the organizers and compliant campus officials. Suddenly, UMW is a First Amendment-Free, or at least a First Amendment-Crippled, Zone, subject to the self-serving preferences of politicos. Why does an Obama rally–or a McCain rally or a Nader rally–justify taking a little off the top of Americans’ most fundamental rights?

A UMW spokeswoman says that the Obama campaign required the sign-and-banner ban. That campaign tells us that the ban is for “security” reasons. But a spokesman for the U.S. Secret Service, responsible for protecting presidential candidates, says that the service has no objection to signs at rallies, provided that no “part of the sign could be used as a weapon”–e.g., a heavy metal pole or a sharpened stick. Finally, the McCain campaign tells us, “We encourage people to make signs at our events.”
