Fascist Obama tactics.

Image is one I knew would come in handy and downloaded it some months ago. Unfortunately I can't remember from where, so my apologies to the originator.

HT Libertarian Republican.

I have always had the feeling that the Obama campaign tended to be based on the old time personality cult ideology, the sort of thing that Stalin, Hitler, Mussolini, Milosevic, Castro, Chavez, et al relied on, and Putin seems to be trying now.

This trend being brought into American politics is something I find very disturbing, as it is more the sort of thing we are used to seeing in Eastern Europe, and areas where tribal politics are still the order of the day.

Americans of all political colors should reject and vote against this phenomena before it entrenches itself into your culture.

The personal symbolism of the campaign is consistent with this, such as his use of Roman columns, the phony presidential seal, not to mention the stuff from his sycophants. I owe this one to Ben and Bawb’s Blog: -

According to the Washington Times, fanatical supporters of Presidential hopeful Barack Hussein Obama have decided that the Illinois Senator needs his own "salute". According to the article...

"Our goal is to see a crowd of 75,000 people at Obama's nomination speech holding their hands above their heads, fingers laced together in support of a new direction for this country, a renewed hope, and acceptance of responsibility for our future," says Rick Husong.

"We thought, 'Let's try and start a movement where even while walking down the street, people would hold up the O and you would know that they were for Obama,' "

More worrying is the extremism of his supporters, which is reminiscent of the above persons. Nothing seems to be too a level for them to sink to, from attacking the children of opposing candidates down to infants, hacking into private web sites and posting personal information from them, violent action as seen outside the Republican National Convention, and threats of legal action against donors, they do it all.

Now in true totalitarian style they are threatening to use the power of state law enforcement against opponents of their chosen one, as reported in a Gateway Pundit post, “Missouri Sheriffs & Top Prosecutors Form Obama "Truth Squads" & Threaten Libel Charges Against Obama Critics.” -

More Hope and Change for Missouri...

St. Louis and Missouri Democrat sheriffs and top prosecutors are planning to go after anyone who makes false statements against Obama during his campaign. This is so one sided I can't even begin to describe how wrong this agenda is. ….

St. Louis City Circuit Attorney Jennifer Joyce and St. Louis County Circuit Attorney Bob McCulloch are threatening to bring libel charges against those who speak out falsely against Barack Obama.

KMOV aired a story last night, that stated that 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.

This is more serious than just a couple of Dixiecrat good ol boys and their KKK mates using a bit of muscle to force submission. This is a matter of state officials using the power vested in them to intimidate political opponents, just like the ‘good old days of the Wermarcht’.

This has elicited a strong response from Governor Blunt a Republican with good libertarian credentials, and a strong supporter of first amendment rights: -

Gov. Blunt Statement on Obama Campaign’s Abusive Use of Missouri Law Enforcement.

JEFFERSON CITY - Gov. Matt Blunt today issued the following statement on news reports that have exposed plans by U.S. Senator Barack Obama to use Missouri law enforcement to threaten and intimidate his critics.

“St. Louis County Circuit Attorney Bob McCulloch, St. Louis City Circuit Attorney Jennifer Joyce, Jefferson County Sheriff Glenn Boyer, and Obama and the leader of his Missouri campaign Senator Claire McCaskill have attached the stench of police state tactics to the Obama-Biden campaign.

“What Senator Obama and his helpers are doing is scandalous beyond words, the party that claims to be the party of Thomas Jefferson is abusing the justice system and offices of public trust to silence political criticism with threats of prosecution and criminal punishment.

“This abuse of the law for intimidation insults the most sacred principles and ideals of Jefferson. I can think of nothing more offensive to Jefferson’s thinking than using the power of the state to deprive Americans of their civil rights.

The only conceivable purpose of Messrs. McCulloch, Obama and the others is to frighten people away from expressing themselves, to chill free and open debate, to suppress support and donations to conservative organizations targeted by this anti-civil rights, to strangle criticism of Mr. Obama, to suppress ads about his support of higher taxes, and to choke out criticism on television, radio, the Internet, blogs, e-mail and daily conversation about the election.

“Barack Obama needs to grow up. Leftist blogs and others in the press constantly say false things about me and my family. Usually, we ignore false and scurrilous accusations because the purveyors have no credibility. When necessary, we refute them. Enlisting Missouri law enforcement to intimidate people and kill free debate is reminiscent of the Sedition Acts - not a free society.”

Unfortunately this response is not strong enough, these nazis should be immediately stood down pending dismissal for abuse of their positions.
