Pravda Squads
Via Uncle, it seems that bullying TV stations over NRA ads unfavorable to the Dear Leader is not an aberration, but part of a greater strategy of winning through intimidation. Now the disciples are forming Orwellian-named “Truth Squads” made up of sheriffs and prosecutors in Missouri to intimidate anyone who “lies” (says stuff adverse to Obama’s electoral interests).
Make no mistake about it: these fascist scum are no more interested in The Truth than that infamous Russian newspaper called The Truth (Pravda). If The One wins and at least one non-liberal Supreme Court Justice retires during the next four years, the Pravda Party will have total unchecked power. Think long and hard about that before pulling the lever for Mr. Pravda himself, or before throwing away your vote (either by not voting at all, or by voting for Mickey Mouse, Bob Barr, the Tooth Fairy, Ralph Nader, Bob the Builder, or anyone else who doesn’t have a chance of winning).
UPDATE: Two cheers for Missouri’s non-fascist governor, who bluntly condemns these tactics. The third will have to wait until the day when such vile tactics are so far beyond the pale that no major party ever considers employing them again.

One would hope that those interested in the real truth and freedom of the press, no matter what party, would give BHO’s campaign ads a carefully going over for accuracy, and keep them busy defending theirs. Based on the ones I have seen, there is a lot to defend.

It is totally unproven that Jennifer Joyce and Bob McCullough engage in sex with a goat and a donkey, as a foursome, nightly, but unverified that they do not.
