While the Obamatrons are weeping for joy in Denver, The One has initiated another attack on free speech. Howard Kurtz, who has been researching the facts of the Ayers-Obama connection, is scheduled to be on WGN Radio for 2 hours this evening. Kurtz wrote the incredibly detailed piece on Obama's past connections in the Weekly Standard a few weeks ago, has been digging through the just released Annenberg Challenge files. Well you can guess what happens next....
Yes - the Obama hit squad sent out an email blast calling for supporters of The One to call the station and complain. Now just forget that the Station Manager invited a rep for Obama to be on the show at the same time but the Obama camp said "nope".... that's just not good enough. You can't speak ill of The One. Here's a snip from the email courtesy of Politico...
"Tell WGN that by providing Kurtz with airtime, they are legitimizing baseless attacks from a smear-merchant and lowering the standards of political discourse," says the email, which picks up a form of pressure on the press pioneered by conservative talk radio hosts and activists in the 1990s, and since adopted by Media Matters and other liberal groups.
"It is absolutely unacceptable that WGN would give a slimy character assassin like Kurtz time for his divisive, destructive ranting on our public airwaves. At the very least, they should offer sane, honest rebuttal to every one of Kurtz's lies," it continues.
The new campaign slogan for The One - "Free Speech for Me but Not for Thee"...
If he doesn't like the Kurtz interview, imagine how he's going to feel about Glenn Beck's Obama theme to the tune of the Russian National Anthem.
Enjoy the fun while you can cause if The One is elected, we'll be governed by the Fairness Doctrine....
