Obama Moves To Silence All ACORN Critics

Want a preview of what an Obama Department of Justice would look like? Look no further than Obama for America general counsel Bob Bauer’s letter to Attorney General Michael Mukasey last Friday. Bauer wants the special prosecutor investigating the U.S. attorney firings to start investigating John McCain, Sarah Palin and other Republicans such as Sen. George Voinovich (R-OH) and Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI). Their crime? Calling on our nation’s law enforcement officers to investigate widespread reports of vote fraud.

The Obama campaign’s Stalinist-style demand that a special prosecutor at the Department of Justice criminally prosecute any candidates, party officials or congressmen who discussed their concerns over voter fraud is an outrageous attempt to use the power of the federal government to intimidate and persecute political opponents. It is almost as if Senator Obama wants to reinstitute the Alien and Sedition Acts and it brings into sharp focus the issue of whether he understands the protections of the First Amendment and the importance of fair and secure elections.

It is interesting how few seemed upset to learn that during the 90s Janet Reno's justice department threatened prosecution of any home lending officers who dared oppose the politically desired lending of the Democrat Party to unqualified buyers. That practice was evil and lead directly to the current economic crisis our nation is experiencing. The power of the federal government was used to intimidate private citizens, but the MSM never reported any of the abuse. No one cared because lending officers were not "popular".

At the time the MSM was focused on what they considered to be the greater evil, the Republican Party impeachment of Bill Clinton because he could not "keep it in his pants".

We are about to see this same evil recreated, as the above article points out. The move by Obama is totally consistent with the Saul Alinsky method of stealth abuse of power to gain totalitarian control of our nation. 40 years of politicized dominance of our schools has resulted in a populace that is amenable to manipulation by Marxists like Barack Obama and the people he will be appointing to positions of power.

Janet Reno is despised by many for the illegal actions she took while Attorney General. However her actions will be considered trivial by the time Barack Obama is finished. Like the poem about the abuse of power under the socialism based Third Reich, early moves will always be carefully aimed at the unpopular, and by the time power is entrenched, it will be too late to resist. Freedom will be gone, thrown away by a populace too stupid to understand what they have lost.
