Or, more properly, the Brownshirts:

In the next few hours, we have a crucial opportunity to fight one of the most cynical and offensive smears ever launched against Barack.

Tonight, WGN radio is giving right-wing hatchet man Stanley Kurtz a forum to air his baseless, fear-mongering terrorist smears. He’s currently scheduled to spend a solid two-hour block from 9:00 to 11:00 p.m. pushing lies, distortions, and manipulations about Barack and University of Illinois professor William Ayers.

Tell WGN that by providing Kurtz with airtime, they are legitimizing baseless attacks from a smear-merchant and lowering the standards of political discourse.

Kurtz has been using his absurd TV appearances in an awkward and dishonest attempt to play the terrorism card. His current ploy is to embellish the relationship between Barack and Ayers.

Just last night on Fox News, Kurtz drastically exaggerated Barack’s connection with Ayers by claiming Ayers had recruited Barack to the board of the Annenberg Challenge. That is completely false and has been disproved in numerous press accounts.

Of course, the only people lying here are the Barrackolytes, who would far rather see free speech done away with than have their Savior’s attempt to seize power disrupted by something so inconvenient as the truth about his long friendship with an America-hating terrorist scumbag — an indicator of extremely poor judgment and a lack of ethics if ever there was one. Even the LA Times (!) recognizes an attempt to stifle free and open discourse when they see it, although in good liberal-propagandist fashion they can’t bring themselves to refer to Ayers’ filthy band of terrorist revolutionaries as anything other than a “protest group”:

As nation watches Denver, Obama campaign muscles Chicago station over ex-radical Ayres
In a surprising attempt to stifle broadcast criticism of its candidate, the presidential campaign of freshman Illinois senator Barack Obama is organizing supporters to confront Chicago’s WGN radio station for having a critic of the Illinois Democrat on its main evening discussion program.

“WGN radio is giving right-wing hatchet man Stanley Kurtz a forum to air his baseless, fear-mongering terrorist smears,” Obama’s campaign wrote in an e-mail sent to supporters. “He’s currently scheduled to spend a solid two-hour block from 9:00 to 11:00 p.m. (Wednesday night) pushing lies, distortions, and manipulations about Barack and University of Illinois professor William Ayers.”

Kurtz, a conservative writer, recently wrote an article for the National Review that examined Obama’s ties to Ayers, a former 1960s radical who helped found a protest group that advocated violence.

And, y’know, actually committed some. Their failure to overthrow the United States government and replace it with a communist dictatorship was most assuredly not from lack of effort. Still think the Obama cult’s either interested in or capable of an open, honest discussion of the issue? Think again:

Zack Christenson, executive producer of the longrunning interview program “Extension 720 with Milt Rosenburg,” said the response from Obama supporters was strong. Rosenberg like Ayres is a college professor.

“I would say this is the biggest response we’ve ever got from a campaign or a candidate,” said Christenson. “This is really unprecedented with the show, the way that people are flooding the calls and our email boxes.”

Christenson also stressed that the Obama campaign was invited to send a representative to appear on the show to balance the discussion of the newly-opened documents. But the campaign headquarters just down Michigan Avenue from the station refused the request. This is not the first time Obama’s organization has sought to steer supporters to influence a broadcast outlet airing criticism.

And it won’t be the last, either. Moscow on the Potomac? Fly, my pretties, fly!

Update! The American Issues Project continues to fight the Obamafascists and get the truth out:

The letters from the Obama Campaign to you and your Department (Justice – M) are a gross misuse of the power and prestige of that organization. However, because of the environment in which we function, it is important that AIP respond to the ongoing baseless allegations in the letter war now being waged against it by the Obama Campaign.

AIP has violated no provision of law. The donor(s) to AIP have violated no provision of law. However, if the Department of Justice decides to initiate investigations of donors to AIP and other conservative political and policy organizations, as well as the activities of citizens groups such as AIP, we will be prepared to counter such efforts with our list of targets and entities with which we disagree politically and philosophically for the Department to also investigate and prosecute.

Take it to ‘em. Let these totalitarian cultists know free speech in America won’t be usurped without a fight.
