Constitutional Attack
No, not by the Chimpy Bushitler regime, you dolt. via Powerline, the governor of Missouri reacts to Obama camp’s effort to prosecute TV stations that run ads he doesn’t like:
St. Louis County Circuit Attorney Bob McCulloch, St. Louis City Circuit Attorney Jennifer Joyce, Jefferson County Sheriff Glenn Boyer, and Obama and the leader of his Missouri campaign Senator Claire McCaskill have attached the stench of police state tactics to the Obama-Biden campaign.What Senator Obama and his helpers are doing is scandalous beyond words, the party that claims to be the party of Thomas Jefferson is abusing the justice system and offices of public trust to silence political criticism with threats of prosecution and criminal punishment.
This abuse of the law for intimidation insults the most sacred principles and ideals of Jefferson. I can think of nothing more offensive to Jefferson’s thinking than using the power of the state to deprive Americans of their civil rights. The only conceivable purpose of Messrs. McCulloch, Obama and the others is to frighten people away from expressing themselves, to chill free and open debate, to suppress support and donations to conservative organizations targeted by this anti-civil rights, to strangle criticism of Mr. Obama, to suppress ads about his support of higher taxes, and to choke out criticism on television, radio, the Internet, blogs, e-mail and daily conversation about the election.
Can you believe the gall of the governor of Missouri, to question the righteousness of the Anointed One? I’d advise the Obama administration not to be too hasty to shut down the hated Crusader Gulag at Guantanamo. Once its emptied of oppressed GWOT victims, they’re going to need some place to put the EOOs.*

Not so different, also at Gateway, with US/Israel-hating art: While Obama backers meet with A’Jad in New York, regime enthusiasts stage a “Death to Israel-Death to USA” rally back home in Tehran. Well, you can hardly blame Obama for that. Unless you believe, as McCain shamelessly insinuated, the eagerness to chat of the candidate favored by more mullahs encourages them.

How about Obama’s groupies, Missouri’s Jennifer Joyce, and Ohio’s Jennifer Brunner?
They are a disgrace.
