The election is effectively over. Missouri’s governor just credibly accused Obama of conspiring to violate people’s civil rights by misusing law enforcement resources. Note the mo.gov domain, this is not “someone’s blog” or a “rumor.”

“President McCain” will be a cleansing breath of fresh air to take away this stench.

Thank you, Bill for telling American voters how Obama and his supporters are silencing his opponents. These are Chicago-style tactics.

Natan,

I heard that Chicago often has a voter turnout of 125% and even higher… :^)

abortion “is in direct conflict with Jewish law.”

Only if one accepts whatever the National “Jewish” Democratic Council calls Jewish law.

Bill:

I notice that the MO gov’s statement has no specifics on what happened. But then again, he is a Republican, and Republicans always telll the trut, and Democrats always lie. is irrelevant.

Chicago turnout - vote early and vote often!

Rosenhaft is correct. Did you not read his article, or did you think you could get away with bluffing because nobody else would read it, or otherwise know something about Jewish law? Then again, maybe rabbis have been corrupted by the Democrats for 2000 years - if so, remarkable foresight by the Dems. But thank God we now have you to straighten the Jews out and get them to vote for McPalin.

Apologies for sloppy editing of the first paragraph of my preceding message. Here’s the final version:

I notice that the MO gov’s statement has no specifics on what happened. But then again, he is a Republican, and Republicans always tell the truth, and Democrats always lie. Disputation is irrelevant.

Governor Blunt’s accusations are consistent with the Clinton campaign’s allegations of voter intimidation by the Obama campaign during the Nevada caucuses, and elsewhere. The NRA posted a letter that the Obama campaign sent to radio stations in an attempt to interfere with the NRA’s First Amendment right to air paid political ads.

We have a very consistent picture, and it is a very ugly one.

Bill:

You still don’t say what the Obama campaign is supposed to have done in MO. What were Hillary’s “allegations” and do you have facts to support them? Consistency of allegation among Obama’s opponents is hardly objective proof of anything.

What was the Obama campaign’s objection to the NRA ad? What was the campaign’s legal claim? Do you know that there are in fact legal restrictions on what certain types of organizations may do politically?

And do you have anything to say about the Republican party’s many documented attempts tp restrict voting rights for known Dem-leaning sectors of the population?

I note you have nothing to say on the Jewish law issue. Cat got your tongue?

Re: “You still don’t say what the Obama campaign is supposed to have done in MO.”

Governor Blunt says that Obama’s campaign has collaborated with law enforcement officials to threaten people with prosecution for exercising their First Amendment rights. Read his statement, it’s pretty self-explanatory.

“Do you know that there are in fact legal restrictions on what certain types of organizations may do politically?”

NRA’s Political Victory Fund is not tax exempt, and it can advocate the election or defeat of candidates.

“And do you have anything to say about the Republican party’s many documented attempts tp restrict voting rights for known Dem-leaning sectors of the population?” Such as??? My understanding is that, under Richard Daley’s father, the dead voted regularly in Chicago. There are all kinds of jokes about how dead Republicans in Chicago re-register as Democrats.

“I note you have nothing to say on the Jewish law issue. Cat got your tongue?” Show me where Jewish law (Torah, not the NJDC Manifesto) sanctions partial birth abortions, much less live birth abortions.

Bill:

You didn’t answer my question about MO. I read Blunt’s statement, it offers no facts. Is an accusation proof in itself?

You didn’t provide any facts relative to the NRA claim. Who said and did what?

Chicago: The old Mayor Daley is long gone. Can you point to any evidence of recent 125% voting, or plans for it this year?

Recent Republican actions: Distributing flyers in Black neighborhoods in Philly, giving a false voting date, and claiming that people who had financial debts were ineligible to vote. That’s only one.

Jewish law: Read the referenced article. Talk to a rabbi. Google “abortion jewish law” (without the quotes). And note that Jewish law does not consist of Torah only. But if you were Jewish, you would know that.

I find it intriguing that others have posted comments today, but suddenly my recent comment (on another page) has, for the first time, the following message on top:

“Your comment is awaiting moderation.”

Any left-wing kook can go on this web site and post the most vile smears and rumors, but when I post factual information and provide references, often from primary sources, I am being singled out for censorship?
