Marathon Pundit: Obama's "Ministry of Truth" operating in Missouri

In George Orwell's 1984, the protagonist, Winston Smith toils in an agency called the Ministry of Truth. The official newspaper of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union was Pravda, Russian for "The Truth."

And now Barack Obama has a "Truth Squad."

For more on Obama and his version of "free speech," scroll down one post.

WorldNetDaily has more:

KMOV-TV in St. Louis reports District Attorney Robert McCulloch, a past president of the National District Attorneys Association, said that whether the ads could be attributed to an opponent's campaign itself, or another organization, "If they're not going to tell the truth, somebody's got to step up and say, 'That's not the truth. This is the truth.'"

Frightening. Click here for the KMOV-TV link.

A recent National Rifle Association ad, which I blogged about Wednesday, has the Cult of Change in a frenzy.

More from WND:

The NRA said Obama sent "cease and desist letters" to news outlets in the two states, "denouncing the ads and demanding their removal from the airwaves."

"Barack Obama would be the most anti-gun president in our nation's history. That's the truth," said Cox. "NRA-PVF has the facts on our side. No amount of running from or lying about his record and then intimidating news outlets in the hope of deceiving American gun owners and hunters is going to work. Those strong arm tactics may work in Chicago, but not in Pennsylvania and Ohio, and not as long as NRA-PVF has anything to say about it."

The warnings were from Obama lawyer Robert Bauer, who told station managers that in order to stay in the Federal Communication Commission's good graces, they should not air the ads.

If Obama becomes president, does this mean station that run anti-Obama ads could lose their licences to broadcast? Is that the message the Obama-nuts are sending?

Another St. Louis County prosecutor joined in, and she said, "We're here to respond to any character attacks...to set the record straight.

Their version of "the record," that is.

Gateway Pundit has his take:

St. Louis and Missouri Democrat sheriffs and top prosecutors are planning to go after anyone who makes false statements against Obama during his campaign. This is so one sided I can't even begin to describe how wrong this agenda is.
