“The Obama campaign has sent letters to radio stations in Ohio and Pennsylvania discouraging them from running ads by the National Rifle Association critical of Barack Obama.”

The Volokh Conspiracy - Obama Campaign Challenges NRA Ad:

This is rather despicable. The Obama team acts in a very thuggish manner to suppress dissent. If you’re a liberal and you’re not troubled by this, you’re not actually a liberal.

For those who care, the ads are actually accurate. Factcheck.org usually does a good job, but not here. But regardless of Obama’s stance on the Second Amendment, we should be worried about his stance on the First. Threatening stations that run ads against him is worrisome, particularly since, if Obama wins, he could actually take retribution against media outlets. And don’t think he wouldn’t do it … he’s basically told us he would.

Do you ever see Obama take a stand on issues of personal liberty? No. He’s not that kind of liberal. He’s not, actually, any kind of liberal. He’s a statist.
