Now the obama campaign has asked for partisan prosecutors to search out 'all misleading and false comments against Obama' and threaten prosecution. They are paying special attention to NRA ads because Obama does not want to face any more charges, especially the advocating of seizing all gun owners weapons. But he probably is aware that none of this will go to courts, he just wants to intimidate news media into refusing the ads. And that will accomplish his purpose too. This is the same approach taken by another famous politician. Adolph HItler.

Actually ... the FIRST thing they did was to hone their skills in Propaganda!

They even had a name for it ... they called it "Schnelles-Boot".

Republicans and Neo-Conservatives call it by it's English name: "Swift-Boat".

And this perverted, twisted piece of propaganda is a fine example of this philosophy.

Gun Owners of America Ratings for John McCain

"Nowhere is McCain's chicanery and duplicity more jeopardous than in the area of the right to keep and bear arms. On issues relating to the Second Amendment, John McCain is a disaster! For example, the highly respected Gun Owners of America (GOA) rates McCain with a grade of F-. McCain's failing grade is well deserved.

John McCain sponsored an amendment to S. 1805 on March 2, 2004 that would outlaw the private sale of firearms at gun shows. According to GOA, the provision would effectively eliminate gun shows, because every member of an organization sponsoring a gun show could be imprisoned if the organization fails to notify each and every "person who attends the special firearms event of the requirements [under the Brady Law]."

John McCain also sponsored an Incumbent Protection provision to the so-called "Campaign Finance Reform" bill, which severely curtails the ability of outside groups (such as GOA) to communicate the actions of incumbent politicians to members and supporters prior to an election.

The GOA report of the 106th Congress reveals that out of 15 votes relating to the right to keep and bear arms, Senator John McCain voted favorably only 4 times. Put that into a percentage and McCain's pro-Second Amendment voting record is a pathetic 27%.

In addition, GOA warns that John McCain supported legislation that would force federal agents to increase efforts in arresting and convicting honest gun owners who may inadvertently violate one of the many federal anti-gun laws, which punish mere technicalities, such as gun possession.

For example, if John McCain's proposed legislation were to become law, a gun owner who travels with a gun through a school zone or who uses one of the family handguns to go target shooting with a 15-year old could be sent to prison. And a person who uses a gun for self-defense could be sent to prison for a mandatory minimum of five years."
