I got an email from Americans for Limited Government today.

August 27th, 2008—Americans for Limited Government president Bill Wilson today strongly condemned Sen. Barack Obama for “attempting to censor free speech and creating a pathology of oppression that threatens to gut the First Amendment.”

Wilson’s comments came in response to efforts by the Obama campaign to ban a commercial critical of Obama from the airwaves. The commercial, which reveals the close relationship between Obama and unrepentant domestic terrorist Bill Ayers, is sponsored by an independent organization known as the American Issues Project. Obama has intimidated several major TV networks into refusing to air the ad and has pushed the Department of Justice to “investigate and prosecute” the organization.

“Mr. Obama has now established an undeniable, indelible image of himself as a thin-skinned, pathological authoritarian,” Wilson said. “Time and again since he first declared himself a candidate for the presidency, he has first denied charges against him and then, when the truth came out, viciously attacked those who dared to tell the truth. He has shown utter contempt both for the facts of the matter and freedom of speech.”

Wilson cited numerous examples of Obama’s “pathological authoritarian” behavior that, according to Wilson, “call into question his fitness to hold any position where he can suppress dissent and oppress those who dare to offer it”:

o When the story first broke of Jeremiah Wright’s racist attacks from the pulpit of Obama’s church, the Senator first denied such attacks occurred. Then, after the release of videos, the Senator, in his “racial reconciliation” speech, lashed out at the past racism of white Americans, including his own grandmother.

o When asked about abortion in the Saddleback Forum, Obama denied that he had ever supported the killing of babies who had survived the abortion procedure. After the debate, when questioned about his response by CNS reporters, Obama lashed out at his accusers, labeling them “liars.” Subsequently, the Obama campaign was forced to issue a statement confirming Obama’s support for post-birth abortion.

o When unflattering elements of his past record in both the Illinois state senate and U.S. Senate were exposed by independent groups supporting Democrat primary candidates Hillary Clinton and John Edwards, Obama first vehemently denied the accusations. When the groups stood by their charges, Obama called for criminal investigations and prosecutions of the groups’ donors.

o When Obama wrote his book Dreams from My Father, the senator conspicuously — and some have charged, deceptively — left out the full name of his acknowledged mentor, “Frank.” When Jerome Corsi exposed the mentor to be communist party member Frank Marshall Davis, Obama lashed out at Corsi with a 40-page screed attacking the journalist’s integrity. The Corsi revelation proved to be true.

o When Obama went to Iraq, and Gen. David Petraeus explained to him why the surge had been successful, Obama – despite being presented with the facts on the ground – continued to deny the success of the surge. Then, when pressed on the evidence presented, the Senator lashed out at Petraeus, telling Fox News, “My job is to make the decisions about the national security issues … Their job is just to get the job done.”

“And now,” Wilson said, “we have Obama is once again exhibiting the same chilling cycle of defraud and defame. Obama knows he has maintained a close friendship with Ayers, and he knows that Ayers remains proud of his terrorist attacks upon the people of the United States. So, instead of admitting his own frightening lack of good judgment, Obama once again viciously attacks those who dare to expose the truth.”

Wilson pointed out that according to those in attendence at the cocktail reception thrown by Ayers to launch Obama’s state senate bid in 2005, Ayers played a pivotal role in pushing the Obama candidacy. According to attendee Maria Warren, “They were launching him — introducing him to the Hyde Park community as the best thing since sliced bread.”

And Ayers, according to Wilson, didn’t merely sit on the board of the Woods Fund of Chicago with Obama, as the Senator has contended; it was Ayers who helped Obama secure the board position.

But it isn’t only in these instances that he has avoided the truth, lied about it, and attacked the people asking questions. And in quite a few instances, he has sent some very challenged individuals out to do his bidding and silence the opposition.

Too bad it hasn’t worked.

In Cuba, they’d just shoot you. And wasn’t it the Obama democrats who show Che’s image as an image of socialist revolution and change; as someone to be looked up to? A murdering sociopath who bound and and gagged his captives before he shot them in front of their relatives?

1. What I got out of listening to the first

   presidential debate between John McCain and

   Barack Obama this last Friday night.

   Summary= In regards to John McCain I saw

   and heard a very knowledgeable individual

   with years of experience in dealing with

   the affairs of the country.His arguments

   were precise and to the point,and his

   delivery and manor while not eloquent was

   down to earth and well based on the facts

   that he pointed out to support his

   position.On the other hand I saw and heard

   Barack Obama, an individual that seemed

   very nervous and in his actions reflected

   his lack of experience and knowledge of the

   subject of the debate, which was the

   economy and the national defense.His

   arguments were not precise and to the

   point, and he did not present the facts to

   support them in most cases but consistently

   relied on the strategy of cover everything

   but touch on nothing(like dancing around

   the mull berry bush or like the balloon

   shirts our grandmothers used to wear.) His

   delivery and manor was therefore somewhat

   confused . Specifics= On national defense:

   McCain had his opponent on the ropes time

   and time again forcing him to say the he,

   McCain was right,(Obama said that he agreed

   with McCain and that McCain was right so

   many times that I thought I was listening

   to a fresh recruit in boot camp answering

   his drill Sergent) getting him so nervous

   that he,Obama several times referring to

   McCain as Jim not John (confusing John.s

   first name , with Jim the moderator.)

   McCain was very precise in driving home to

   the audience three main points in regards

   to national defense, one: that while Obama

   states that he wants to enhance and restore

   this country’s image, that he maintains has

   been eroded, his very stands on wanting to

   set a timetable for the withdrawal of our

   troops from Iraq,will give Al Quida a great

   propaganda victory and allow them to state

   to the world that they forced us out of

   Iraq.Thus really hurting our image.also his

   stating to the world that he would sit down

   with dictators such as Kim Jong-il of North

   Korea and Ali Kharmenei of Iran without any

   pre.conditions would lend dignity to there

   movements and give them a venue to further

   spread their message of hate and terrorist

   threats. These stands of his are the same

   type of blunders that he claims he would

   prevent from happening when and if he was

   elected president. when John McCain pounded

   him on this, Obama tried to dance around

   this issue by parsing words and saying that

   pre-conditions was THE SAME AS

   PREPAREDNESS. As McCain said his opponent

   just does not understand it. Two: Obama’s

   refusal to admit that he was dead wrong in

   not supporting the surge in Iraq and his

   remarks that this tactic had no chance of

   succeeding reflected his lack of

   understanding regarding military tactics.

   Now his refusal to admit to this indicates

   a very insecure person,afraid to admit when

   he has makes a mistake. Three: On Russia’s

   recent invasion of Georgia, McCain again

   was very precise and had the facts to

   support his argument, plus the experience

   of being in the soviet blog time and time

   again, he pointed out that in the final

   analyse, oil was the reason behind Russia.s

   moves in this region, again forcing Obama

   to state that his opponent was right.On the

   economy: Obama again tried to cover

   everything while not committing himself to

   anything, but when his opponent nailed down

   the reason for our problems in the economy

   by stating that the cause was the run -away

   spending in the form of earmarks by both

   the republicans and the democrats in

   congress,that he has been fighting to do

   away with for years and that Obama was

   responsible for 18 million dollars of pork

   barrel spending in the form of earmarks

   during the time he spent in congress, Here

   once again Obama said that McCain was

   right, but tried to excuse his spending by

   saying that he had suspended his pork

   barrel requests, but was reminded by McCain

   that this happened only when he began to

   campaign for president.!!!( I expect this

   figure of 18 million would have been much

   higher if he had spent more time on the job

   that he is getting paid for( I do not know

   how many hours the Senate has been in

   session over the last four years, but he

   was only present for 153 hrs during that

   time as I understand it) the last two of

   which he has been absent due to running for

   president, but still getting his regular

   salary of over 180 thousand dollars per

   year from the taxpayers, Damn, talk about a

   rip off!!!!In summary: It appears to me

   that Obama while being a great communicator

   in the form of a public speech being able

   to arouse tremulous crowd emotions( like

   Bill Clinton and Adolf Hitler) he has very

   limited ability to engage in a one on one

   debate with an opponent.( unlike Bill

   Clinton, who did have this skill as well as

   being a great communicator, I have to give

   the devil his due. signed Zarc
