Obama’s Goon Squad Strikes Again!
First they tried to interfere with National Review writer Stanley Kurtz’s interview on WGN radio’s Milt Rosenberg show. Now they’ve done the same thing with author David Fredosso who wrote The Case Against Barak Obama: The Unlikely Rise and Unexamined Agenda of the Media’s Favorite Candidate.
Naturally the Obamanutters respond to facts by calling them “smears” and fear mongering.
Chicago radio station WGN-AM is again coming under attack from the presidential campaign of Sen. Barack Obama for offering airtime to a controversial author.
It is the second time in recent weeks the station has been the target of an “Obama Action Wire” alert to supporters of the Illinois Democrat. …
The Tribune-owned station was flooded with calls and e-mails about an hour before an Aug. 27 interview with Stanley Kurtz, a conservative writer who examined Obama’s ties to former 1960s radical William Ayers.
A WGN producer said Monday night’s response was about the same as when Kurtz was on the station.
Here’s the “Obama Action Wire” in its entirety, courtesy of Guy Benson:
The author of the latest anti-Barack hit book is appearing on WGN Radio in the Chicagoland market tonight, and your help is urgently needed to make sure his baseless lies don’t gain credibility.
David Freddoso has made a career off dishonest, extreme hate mongering, even calling legislation to protect people from hate crimes the “Thought Police.”
And WGN apparently thinks this card-carrying member of the right-wing smear machine needs a bigger platform for his lies and smears about Barack Obama — on the public airwaves.
Freddoso will be on WGN tonight from 9:00 to 11:00 to promote his new attack book against Barack.
Tell WGN that by providing Freddoso with airtime, they are legitimizing baseless attacks from a smear merchant and lowering the standards of political discourse.
Call into the “Extension 720? show with Milt Rosenberg at (312) 591-7200
(Show airs from 9:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m. tonight)
Then report back on your call at http://my.barackobama.com/WGNstandards
A couple weeks ago, we asked you to call into Rosenberg’s radio show when he hosted unapologetic smear artist Stanley Kurtz’ incoherent rantings about Barack and William Ayers.
And you responded. Rosenberg’s producer said the flood of calls and emails the show received was the biggest response ever for something like this.
Calling will only take a minute, and it will make a huge difference if we show that our grassroots movement can go toe-to-toe with their media smear machine.
Confront Freddoso tonight before this goes any further:

Please forward this email to everyone you know who can make a call tonight.
Keep fighting the good fight,
Obama Action Wire
I think conservatives should write to WGN and commend them for trying to show people the truth about Obama.

Can you imagine the uproar if a Republican candidate sent such an email around to stop people from speaking out? The MSM, especially CBS, NBC, ABC, NYT and WaPo, would go ballistic.

These liberals all want free speech only for themselves.

To liberals, you only have Constitutional Rights if you agree with them. You’ve never heard of Conservatives trying to shut down liberal talk radio but liberals are doing all they can to shut down Rush and Sean Hannity.

What they don’t understand is that the talk show hosts – conservative AND liberal – are voted on every day, by listening or not listening. That’s what drives them nuts, because there’s no way to get the graveyard vote in Chicago, or the transient vote in Washington (state), or the felon vote in Florida (involuntarily, as is the donks’ wish).
Advertisers know this, understand who is going to have the higher numbers; hence, their advertising dollars go to the (much) larger audiences, and their bottom line is increased. Ain’t capitalism great?!
They (the advertisers) also understand that if they wasted their precious advertising budget on programs with few listeners, their bottom line would decrease. I have met few businessmen in my lifetime whose sole purpose for being in business is esoteric, but that’s what the donks are demanding.
Unfortunately, occasionally the conservative listener is put into a bad position by the local market: they must choose between such people as Rush and Sean, or some other combination of conservative hosts. Decisions, decisions!

How about this for the truth:
Obama is a sleezy, Marxist political hack. Who has only made it into office because of Brown Shirts like Jennifer Joyce and Bob McCulloch.
And let’s not fool ourselves about what Obama’s intentions are. He intends to RAISE taxes, and destroy American institutions by virtue of his goon squads.
p.s. Obama is a rasist and a sexist, who probably has homosexual tendencies, and has been known to hang out with traitors and terrorists.
Now, Call me a lier.

I won’t call you a liar, Jim. Everything that you’re saying is true. And welcome to my blog.

THANKS FOR GETTING THE TRUTH OUT ABOUT SEN. OBAMA. HE SCARES ME. I AM WORRIED ABOUT WHAT HE WILL DO TO OUR COUNTRY AND OUR INDIVIDUAL FREEDOMS.
