Someone asked:
Could someone please point to the portion of the letter where Obama “threatens” any entity that doesn’t stop running to ads? I can’t seem to find it.

Okay.  See above.
This language of the letter strongly suggests to media outlets that they are subject to action to revoke their licenses if they run the NRA’s ads.  Their threat is based upon a Factcheck.org review of the ad, which seems to have been mistaken.
Think about this for a second.  Obama himself has run a ton of false or misleading ads, ads that have been found to be false or misleading by Factcheck.org, but he didn’t pull any of these ads from the air … he kept paying stations to run them.
This is worse than hypocrisy … it’s thuggery.  It’s Chicago style politics.  It’s Audacity without the Hope.


Obama is NOT the candidate of the First Amendment.  He will use the FCC to further his agenda JUST as much as any Republican would.  Don’t fool yourself into thinking that Obama is somehow ‘different’.
