It doesn't get any more Orwellian than this. | |

| #19 I have lived in St. Louis my whole life, I served our country, I am a veteran (first Gulf War.) This has to stop. These two clowns, at the very least needs to have their offices flooded with phone calls from listeners from Rush, Glenn Beck, Hannity, Oreilly, Levin, Doyle, Crowley, etc. The Mrs. and I have had several conversations about putting a sign in our yard to support McCain-Palin. We are nervous about the fact that we have several neighbors that have Obama-Biden signs, are we going to have our house vandalized? Are our children going to be harrassed because we are expressing OUR FIRST AMENDMENT RIGHTS? We have had to discuss this and this makes my f***ing blood boil. The left is picking a fight with the wrong bull and they are too freaking stupid to know that the bull is not the least bit happy about being prodded. The left wants a war, to quote Gen. William T. Sherman, "if war is the remedy our enemies have chosen, let us give them all they want." I apologize for the rant but this story really, REALLY pushed me right over the edge. |

| #18 Well. let me one of those who critique Obama. Obama was considered a Moslem by the childhood friends he went to school with. He studied/memorized the Koran. He is considered a Moslem by many in the middle-east, including Khadafi. Obama's real name was Barry. He considered himself a complete failure during his community organizing days and went to Africa to try to find himself. He worked with domestic terrorist and agitator Bill Ayers. The community group he worked with, ACORN, has been in trouble for registering illegal immigrants and dead people for the vote. He attended a church preaching racist ideologies, which he has not disavowed--only has used political double-speak saying "that's not what I heard when I went there" similar to I did not have sex with that woman. He is in favor of redistributing wealth. He has said that he is a blank slate upon which people write their own hopes and aspirations. So sue me. |

| #17 Ali Sina's latest essay WRT Obama and extreme narcissistic personality disorder seems an appropriate follow-up to this... he's calling for psych tests on the candidates. (and having lived through Khomeini, he would know!) www.faithfreedom.org, it's called "Understanding Obama" |

| #16 In the news report no one raised the question whether these people are acting in their capacity as government officials or as members of the Obama campaign. That's a lot more serious than an alleged mix-up of private and official email. The threat is not so much actual prosecution of a critic but the chilling effect. They're putting the Criticize the One and you will draw the attention of prosecutors and law enforcement (*) to yourself... (*) "law enforcement" = Obama campaign operating under the color of law. |

| #15 The odds that this is really going to happen... especially in the last weeks before the election when the national-reach blogs are on top of things as soon as they happen? Not likely, guys. Candidate McCain has already spoken sharply to the mainstream media reporters; I'm sure there'd be a commercial the next day if these clever little county circuit attorneys tried to actually act on their dreams. |

| #13 Ah. "Thought crimes". I think I read a book about that once. |

| #12 Sorry but I thought that 1) This is against Constitution 2) This constitutes a gross example of tax payer's money misuse in order to reach private goals. In other ords: they should be forced to refund ten times the cost and spend the rest of their lives breaking big stones into little stones. 3) This comes dangerously close to the point where citizens are legitimate in exerting their right to "resistance to oppression" (French version) or use their Second Amendemnt rights (American version). |

| #11 The Chicago democratic machine shares the same constituent venu as the St. Louis, Atlanta, and Detroit democratic machines. Next question please. |

| #10 Something is rotten in Mizzou. Who but bird brains would have elected this shrilling fool McCaskill ? Never seen such an Obambi asskisser. This idiot makes me think Ima seeing Halfbright every time she appears and opens her stupid trap. Missourians have to ask themselves how this happened ? |

| #9 When the government involves itself with the politics of a political group and politician, a police state is formed. I am very sad to say it is nearing time for a armed uprising against these goons. If Obama is elected, I can see a Civil War happening. |

| #4 ..are implying that they will bring criminal libel charges against anyone who levels what turns out to be false criticisms of their chosen candidate for President. Where has the "Truth Squad" been for the last 8 years of libels against Bush? The Klan rides again to suppress those they oppose! Bull Connor would be proud. Home once again in their original habitat of the Democratic Party. |

| #3 Wouldn't he have to complain to these legal eagles in the first place that a "crime" was committed? Obama is of legal age and in complete use of his mental faculties, so where do the legal eagles here get off making a case on his behalf like this? |

| #2 wow. Can you apply that same law to makers of false criticisms of republican vice presidential candidates? |

| #1 So much for free speech. I wonder if St. Louis has gotten any better since the last time I was there? I would eat my shoe if it has. |
