Washington Times: Obama Is Displaying A “Disturbing Pattern” Of Crushing Dissent
They’re right. And this is just the beginning.
When he said yesterday that he was on the verge of changing America forever, he wasn’t kidding. Folks, I’m telling ya that this guy is not only disturbing – he’s downright dangerous.
Anyway, this editorial in today’s Washington Times hits that nail right on its head:
…..there is no getting around the fact that all three newspapers kicked off the plane just happened to endorse Mr. McCain. Moreover, Mr. Obama’s supporters have been furious with The Times when it publishes stories that are not favorable to their candidate. One was an Oct. 10 report by Barbara Slavin of The Times about Mr. Obama’s efforts to delay signing an agreement with the United States on the status of U.S. forces in Iraq. Another was a piece by reporter Joseph Curl pointing to Mr. McCain’s role in mobilizing support for the Iraq troop surge, which Mr. Obama opposed. Viewed in this context, the Obama campaign’s decision to remove Miss Bellantoni smacks of being the latest effort by Mr. Obama and his supporters to retaliate against reporters that ask tough questions. After Barbara West, a reporter on WFTV-TV in Orlando, had the temerity to ask some tough questions to Joe Biden, the Obama campaign cancelled an interview with Mr. Biden’s wife, Jill. Obama supporters even called for Miss West’s ouster. After a reporter for KYW-TV in Philadelphia pressed Mr. Biden too forcefully on some matters, the Obama campaign said it would grant no more interviews to the station. When WGN Radio in Chicago announced it would interview Stanley Kurtz, author of several unflattering investigative pieces about Mr. Obama, supporters of the candidate flooded the station with telephone calls and e-mails demanding that Mr. Kurtz not be put on the air. It is a disturbing pattern. If this is how Mr. Obama acts as a candidate, how would he treat the press as president?
Yeah, well, you ain’t seen nuthin’ yet.
I beginning to think that Obama is a tool of the left that’s being weilded in deft fashion, a Howdy Doody puppet dangling at the ends of strings held by puppet masters that mean this country harm. No, let me rephrase that.
They want to destroy America, not harm it. And they’ve found just the tool to do it.
Warning: This country hasn’t been in this much genuine danger since the Cuban missile crisis.
