Obama Throws Conniption About NRA Ads.

September 28th, 2008 • Richard Cochrane

Obama Lawyers say stations have duty ‘to protect the public from false, misleading or deceptive advertising.’”

Barack Obama is threatening radio and TV stations in Pennsylvania to stop running NRA ads blasting him and running mate Biden for longstanding anti-gun records. Obama is really angry about the NRA’s “Hunter” ad.

There are rumors of a so-called “secondary” boycott where Obama’s supporters are calling advertisers on stations running the ads and threatening not to use their services or products. Obama says his campaign has nothing to do with that.

Obama’s campaign general counsel Bob Bauer wrote stations seeking to censor the ads at stations in Pennsylvania saying, “Unlike federal candidates, independent political organizations do not have a ‘right to command the use of broadcast facilities,’” Bauer writes. “Moreover, you have a duty ‘to protect the public from false, misleading or deceptive advertising.’” NRA lawyers are countering the threats and looking into what some say could be an illegal secondary boycott. The NRA has set up a web site detailing its position on Obama at www.gunbanobama.com.

Obama leads McCain in Pennsylvania by 5% with its 21 electoral votes.

  1. Comment by PAUL REVERE on 29 September 2008:

    1. Obama challenges the 2nd Amendment … The Right To Bear Arms.

    2. Obama challenges the 1st Amendment … The right of Free Speech.
    Obama pressures all media who accepts NRA advertising.

    3. Obama wants a Civil National Security Force … with the same budget as the Pentagon.

    So, Obama does not want any opposition, so he stops Freedom of Speech.
    Then, to make any opposition defenseless, he wants to take away our right to bear arms.
    Next, he wants a Civil National Security force to put down any insurrection.

    Sounds like the stepping stones to a leftist dictator taking over this country.
