The Ad Obama is Trying to Ban
Barack Obama's handlers are desperately trying to get this ad banned. Good to know that liberals support free speech, but only when it's convenient.

Seraphic Secret is private property, that's right, it's an extension of our home, and as such, Karen and I have instituted two Seraphic Rules and we ask commentors to act respectfully.
1. No profanity.2. No Israel bashing. We debate, we discuss, we are respectful. You know what Israel bashing is. The world is full of it. Seraphic Secret is one of the few places in the world that will not tolerate this form of anti-Semitism. That's it. Break either of these rules and you will be banned.
The thought of liberals believing in free speech and open debate makes me double over in laughter.

My father-in-law, may he rest in peace, had a saying he would pull out whenever an elected official did something stupid or egregious or had a scandalous past that never seemed to make any difference to the voters:
"Everyone loves a Democrat."
It's still relevant today, 25 years after he coined it.

The tricks the Dems are using to try to steal this election...and it's a joke to think they accused Bush of it, when the Republicans' efforts were "bush-league" compared to the Obama-bots trying to squelch any criticism of their master, squadrons of dirty-trick lawyers, voter fraud plans (many involving ACORN, which a certain Obama was a lawyer for), the suppression of free speech, the obfuscation of facts about Obama, the lies he himself has repeatedly spread, the Palin smears, the media's obvious twisting or literally lying about everything..pretty scary.
I just re-read Orwell's "Animal Farm" and "Orwellian" is certainly a pretty good word for all that is going on. And sadly, it is working. People I thought were intelligent were repeating lies about Palin to me as if fact.
This is very, very scary.

I'll put in a plug here for Jonah Goldberg's Liberal Fascism. Much of what the Democrats are doing is exposed in that book. It's excellent reading.

Everyone thinks it can never happen here.

Hi, Robert:
Is there a link to a story about the Obama campaign trying to prevent that ad from being shown.
It would be very helpful to have a news story or something.
Thanks,
EARL
