It is typical of leftists that they seek to contain speech they disapprove of. Notice I said leftists, not the typical, garden variety citizen who calls himself a liberal. I see a leftist as a person so extreme in their liberal agenda that they seek the downfall of capitalism through increasing socialization of the economy and culture, at the least, and/or actual violent overthrow of America, a country they think to be unfair, imperialistic and racist at the worst.

What they really seek is power. The story of Barack Obama and his approach to reasonable disagreement is a great illustration of how tightly the candidate and his people would like to control their critics and, ultimately, America.

Barack Obama seems way too cozy with leftists, perhaps because the “most liberal Senator in America” is one. Communists, terrorists and other shady characters seem to populate his BFF list.

Here is a lovely photo of unapologetic domestic terrorist Bill Ayers standing on an American flag. Obama says he barely knows Ayers. Facts seem to indicate otherwise and the Annnberg papers may prove embarrassing to both of them.

Since Stanley Kurtz wrote about the Annenberg challenge and appeared on my show, Obama’s people have ramped up their attempts to quash free speech and enquiry without taking the time to refute the charges or answer the questions being asked. Their position seems to be that of threatened legal challenges and the use of organized shouting matches to drown reasonable discussion.

This from the Editors of the National Review: “Obama fancies himself as “post-partisan.” He is that only in the sense that he apparently brooks no criticism. This episode could be an alarming preview of what life will be like for the media should the party of the Fairness Doctrine gain unified control of the federal government next year.”
