As co-blogger Jonathan reports below, the Obama campaign has sicced its lawyers on t.v. stations that might air a well-sourced NRA advertisement that correctly points out Obama’s longstanding anti-gun record. The proper response to such attempts to infringe on the First Amendment is to make sure that the video in question receives the widest circulation possible, to deter the Obama campaign, and other campaigns for that matter, from engaging in such tactics in the future. So here it is. Share it with a friend, with a note that Obama is threatening legal action against stations that run it, in violation of the First Amendment.
Like the one below about the mortgage bank crisis, this one also needs to be put in front of as many eyes as possible—though in this case, people who don’t imagine that guns roam the streets at night like murderous zombies, would be the preferred target. Also, those who don’t think it’s kosher for a presidential candidate to try to bully media outlets into quashing opposing views.
