Obama Goes Ghetto Against Anyone Who Opposes Him
 Gateway Pundit has an overview and Glenn Reynolds has a great  round-up. MM provides multiple examples of Obama’s brownshirt tactics to silence the opposition…
“American Issues Project, whose efforts to fight the Obama Goon Squad I’ve covered extensively, responds today to Obama’s Missouri machine”:
September 26, 2008 – Barack Obama is now using local law enforcement officials to carry out his campaign of legal intimidation by assembling a group of high-ranking Missouri police officials and prosecutors – including St. Louis County Prosecutor Bob McCullough and City of St. Louis Circuit Attorney Jennifer Joyce – to identify and target anyone the campaign determines is producing “misleading” political advertisements.
“This is an outrageous and shocking attempt by the Obama campaign to again employ Stalinist, police state tactics against those who dare to disagree with Barack Obama,” said Ed Martin, American Issues Projects president. “I am frankly stunned to see public officials like McCullough and Joyce abusing their official prosecutorial positions to serve as attack dogs for a national political campaign. I am quite certain Missourians elected these individuals to enforce the laws and arrest criminals, not to throw people in jail for daring to practicing free speech.
“The Obama campaign continues to provide a chilling preview of what would happen to political freedom in an Obama administration.”
This new effort is only the most recent attempt by the Obama campaign to crack down on free speech. Obama’s lawyers twice demanded the Department of Justice investigate and prosecute the American Issues Project, its officers, board of directors, and donors. The campaign also threatened stations running American Issues Project’s ad in an unsuccessful attempt to compel them to pull the spot, and ran its own ad in response.
Notably, this ad failed to dispute a single fact the American Issues Project has put forth.

They sure do. They went ghetto against Sarah Palin. As I posted here before:
You can take the Community Organizer out of the ghetto, but you can’t take the ghetto out of the Community Organizer.

The O-bots running newspaper websites are taking down stories that make Obama or the campaign look bad. BadgerBlogger.com has screenshots of before and after of such a story that happened in Waupun, WI, where the campaign took over a diner, harangued the customers for hours, left and didn’t pay their bill or tip the waitress.
Wasn’t it the Obamassiah himself that prided himself on how well he tipped the help?

No, I chose ghetto because it is very fitting. In the ghetto, when one tries to tell the truth or work with the cops, they are threatened, and that is exactly the tactic Obama is using
