It's official: Obama now using law enforcement to silence critics
By Rizzuto

Fri Sep 26, 2008 - Welcome to the Barack Obama police state. This from the National Review:
A St. Louis television station reports — their words — "The Barack Obama campaign is asking Missouri law enforcement to target anyone who lies or runs a misleading TV ad during the presidential campaign."

Prosecutors and sheriffs from across Missouri are joining "The Barack Obama Truth Squad."

They mention Jennifer Joyce, St. Louis Circuit Attorney and Bob McCullough, prosecutor for St. Louis County in Missouri.

The reporter says, "They will be reminding voters that Barack Obama is a Christian who wants to cut taxes for anyone making less than $250,000 a year."

While the report never quite comes out and says that anyone running an ad saying those things would be subject to prosecution, that certainly is the message implied.
How is misleading defined in these scenarios? Or a better question may be who defines what is misleading? Will it be law enforcement sympathetic to Obama's campaign?

Barack Obama's America...it's a brave new world folks.
