Barry Hussein Obama's real view of the First Amendment's Freedom of Expression Clause

My oldest daughter who is a Resident Assistant (RA) for a dormitory at the University of Michigan informed me that a campus group that was formed by the Obama campaign to register students to vote has been banned from all of the student dorms. The reason that has been cited is that there have been numerous incidents where this organization asked prospective voters who they were for Obama or McCain. If they responded Obama then the group member(s) would then ask them if they wanted to register to vote. If the individual stated McCain then they would move on. This alone was not the problem. During many of these encounters the prospective Obama supporter would state that they cannot be registered because they were not old enough to vote yet. This is where the problem occurred. It turns out that many times when faced with this dilemma the group member(s) performing the registering would say "that is not a problem we will just list your birth date as one year earlier".

Of course this is voter fraud and not a First Amendment issue which leads me to this. Here's the latest: in Missouri, Obama has enlisted his allies in public office, including St. Louis County Circuit Attorney Bob McCulloch, to threaten criminal prosecution of any Missouri television station that runs ads about Obama that are untrue. Since every politician sincerely believes that all ads run by his opponents are untrue, the field of potential criminal exposure is broad indeed.

Missouri's Governor Matt Blunt responded to the Obama Campaign's trashing of the First Amendment Freedom of Expression in this forceful statement:
"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.

Barack Obama needs to grow up. Leftist blogs and others in the press constantly say false things about me and my family. Usually, we ignore false and scurrilous accusations because the purveyors have no credibility. When necessary, we refute them. Enlisting Missouri law enforcement to intimidate people and kill free debate is reminiscent of the Sedition Acts - not a free society."

Is there any doubt that if he wins the election a President Obama would further stomp on Freedom of Expression by signing a new "Fairness Doctrine Bill" which has been tossed about Congress for the last few years. Many of you know te aim of the Fairness Doctrine is to silence conservative talk radio since liberal talk radio never seems to be able to make a profit. Prime example the Al Franken led short lived and overhyped Air America.

Extreme Leftists always state that they are for freedom of speech but of course what they really mean is only if they are in agreement with it. Futher examples are the way Conservative speakers are treated on college campuses like Ann Coulter and David Horowitz to name a couple.
