the deal is that according to a Missouri news station report, the Obama campaign has asked Missouri law inforcement to target anyone who lies about Obama. They're calling them the Obama Truth Squads.

the video shows a couple of prosecutors who claim to be protecting Missourians from false claims. I guess they feel that they are the final arbiters of the truth. is this what people elect district attorneys and sheriffs, to do?

it offensive and is reminiscient of a police state, trying to intimidate and put a chill on dissenters. use your campaign hacks or phony purveyors of truth like factcheck.org if you want to spread your version of the truth, but to preemptively enlist law enforcement to stifle opposing views! what are we Nazi Germany?

no problem, this is all part of the politics of hope and change.

Well thank God we have the patriot act and illegal wiretapping to show Obama where to find the dissenters.

Its fitting that a campaign of proven liars would actually want a situation where lying can go on running unchecked.

But the funniest thing of all? Last I checked, St Louis is in Missouri and i dont need Ms. Palin to give me a geography lessson either because my sister lives there. Why is the mayor of St Louis supporting this? Wny is the DA? And if this is somehow unconstitutional, why can't THE GOVERNOR who wrote the press release do something about it?

Where is McCain this weekend by the way?
