Obama's Missouri version of the C.I.O.

Update!: Missouri Governor Matt Blunt calls out Obama's C.I.O thug squad.

Politics:The secret police comes to America.

You have prosecutors and various law enforcement officials running around as Obama's "truth squad" and no one has a problem with this abuse of power? Some third party should run an ad just to see their response.

The KMOV report said the Obama campaign asked members of Missouri's law enforcement to target anyone who "lies" or issues misleading television ads. Formation of the Obama "Truth Squad" was the result, the report said. McCulloch declined to return a call from WND seeking comment. The KMOV report said the campaign was being conducted by McCulloch and another prosecutor, Jennifer Joyce, along with a number of sheriffs throughout the state. "They will be reminding voters that Barack Obama is a Christian who wants to cut taxes for anyone who makes less than $250,000 a year. They also say they plan to respond immediately to any ads and statements that violate Missouri's ethics laws," the report said. "We want to keep this campaign focused on issues," Joyce told the station. "We don't want people to get distracted. Missourians don't want to be distracted by the divisive character attacks." The campaign was assembled to "set the record straight," they said. Officials with the Missouri Sheriff's Association declined to talk about any sheriffs who might be involved in the campaign.

This sort of action fits in with other attempts by the Obama campaign to silence critics and chill any attempt at a debate that are not on his terms. In the real world if they want to enforce the law, it should be for both sides.

Keep an eye for this ad featuring Rep. Roy Blunt if it plays in Missouri and demand action. It was so blatant even Tapper is kinda shocked.

Update 1: Missouri Gov slams this thug squad who are abusing the power of the office they are in for everyone to just protect their own candidate of choice.

"“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."
