#32 - Obama Vs. Free Speech - Truth Squads and Censorship

[mikemcgee]

Obama is not a liberal he is a sneaky conservative pretending to be a liberal to compete against the direct conservative authority with his sneaky brand of authority republicans and demo publicans are no different. Conservatives use censorship too as much as the false liberal, Real liberalism , which barely exist tolerates negative speech and expression so it can be debated. Who ever is being hated. Sneaky conservatives and communist are anti debate

[hawanja]

It's really funny, seeing videos like this from before the election and what people were so afraid of, yet none of the stupid shit they talked about even happened.

God damn, you conservatives are such tools...

[radkon67]

Take the Truth Squad for example. I'm not surprised the free speech campaign went ahead, for the same reasons that fearful opinions would've flourished in regard to the perceived ramifications of his policy.. I think it's endemic to America that these extremes exist, yet people still feel that they are being robbed of a future if Obama had a politically driven idea of damage control. That's the real world... Obama's values expressed through politics is what I continue to see.

[PerrrfictKats]

Yep! Obama using Hilter tactics to take over industry and citizenry, any detailed book on thr rise of Nazsi Germany will detail the particulars Obama is now using to gain control for the international banking elite. Its just like "The Obama Deception" on You-Tube has explained.

[gamefan101]

I FUCKING HATE YOU!!! hahahaha not really friend and even though it was a bid rude but I have the right too but thank you for the video this is crazy what the stupid damn president is trying supress us like this

[WhatCanIsay100]

Obama nope....  Cash for Clunkers good job not....

[ProudToBLoud]

excellent video

[joe80dman]

Obama doesn't have the authority to abrogate, or deny, an inalienable RIGHT. Freedom of speech is embedded in the Bill of Rights. It's an inalienable right, which means it cannot be revoked by ANY official, president or otherwise. The ballot box cannot be used to abridge an inalienable right either.

[bmxrider4ever]

If police get off free for disobeying the rights then I don't see how he can't get away with ANYTHING people need to STAND UP. But that's my opinion so who knows

[joe80dman]

@bmxrider4ever: The police are supposed to be bound by the Constitution, but violate it on a daily basis. For many decades the American public has been brainwashed by Holllywood made cop docudramas. After 40 years of TV brainwashing, the public actually believes lies over the truth. This is all by design.

[mcap52]

You are correct.But thanks to Americans allowing the Bill Of Rights to be federalized Big Brother can pretty much do what they want.If you notice speech is not the only right being denied right now.

[jackbelias]

Obama doesn't have the authority

He does have the authority to initiate treaties. This treaty violates the constitution but we cannot challenge it because the US initiated it.

The time has come to see todays politcal climate as a war. Leftist revolutionaries have stripped us of our very way of life. Protest and talking time is over, acts of war can only be combated by acts of war. This latest assault exactly why we have a 2nd article, let us use it.

[joe80dman]

He might have the authority to INITIATE a treaty. Whether it becomes valid, or not, is another matter. He has NO AUTHORITY to deny a citizen of their fundamental rights. No government agency does. You're right about the 2nd Amendment. We should have taken-up arms against our oppressors long ago. Our grandfathers should have, but were overwhelmed by a very effective propaganda ministry at the time. Someday it will happen.

[joe80dman]

The "authorities" would like to CRACKDOWN on Free Speech, or more precisely, the 1st Amendment. Let's get one thing straight here. This is a government FOR and BY the People. It is the People who are the AUTHORITIES here, NOT public servants. Public servants work for me, I won't capitulate to their demands. Besides, they took an oath to uphold the Constitution, didn't they?

[THINKfutureShow]

They did, and you are 100% right. But of course, they act like its the other way around...

[joe80dman]

Considering that the government has taken over the educational institutions, (public schools), and have a cozy relationship with TV producers, we begin to see how the people became indoctrinated to the contrary. Every citizen must re-learn the fact that THEY work for US. We're their employers.

[nodavidnow]

The 1st Amendment is about putting people in jail for saying certain things; deleting YouTube comments is a poster's options and is hence very different. I kinda sympathize because there are so many nutcase trolls (extremists of all kinds) who pollute what is supposed to be a forum by just being obnoxious. Also, it was not Obama himself who deleted the comments, it was his campaign workers, who probably value free speech much less than he as a constitutional scholar does.

[THINKfutureShow]

If that is the case, why did he not direct them to leave it up? Methinks Obama's backers are more afraid of people speaking out against Obama than he might be...

[freereason]

Rush is now the target for the Obama Hush Squad.

[THINKfutureShow]

Yes. Shut down all dissent. Somehow now its unpatriotic eh?

[ColumbiaCowboy]

Lie. Nobody is being "hushed." This only means both sides are heard, instead of just the right. What's wrong with that? Your side will still be heard, right wing hate radio will be just fine, but now people will hear both sides. Why are you so terrified of people hearing the other side?

[sexydarin1]

both sides should be heard on abc, cbs, cnn, pbs, nbc cnbc and the rest of the one sided leftist biased networks. Hollywood needs to tell the other side instead of their far left commy propaganda.

[ironlion45]

"Chris Future, the former host of the THINKfuture shows, has decided that it is too dangerous to broadcast from his car or home anymore. He has fled to the undiclosed location only known as the FREEDOM BUNKER, where he can guard against the evils of the socialist forces gripping our country, and broadcast a message of free speech and free markets to all of America and beyond. Until, of course, they find him."

I don't even know how YOU can take you seriously :p

[CalifSunshine2008]

Well, ladies, if we aren't running for our Burkas, we will soon. CAIR, an Islamic group has funded the fairness doctrine. Freedom of speech is at risk. The Almighty Obama doesn't like YOUR WORDS.

[ColumbiaCowboy]

Absolute lies, and it's really telling that you're trying to inject racism into the discussion..."Oh, we can't have Fairness Doctrine, MUSLIMS are for it."

In fact it was the law of the land for most of our history.

[CalifSunshine2008]

Do you know that CAIR gives MONEY to see that this bill succeeds...and the Saudi Prince gives money to CAIR. Go ahead sell America off to the highest bidder and try to stifle us. If you think that is fair....maybe we should go back to time when you also couldn't swear and had to sleep in seperate beds on television also...or would we have to wear a burka in segregated films?

[averitas]

You forgot how many of us received lawyer letters re: Auchi connection reporting on our blogs, the shuting down of sites/you tube accounts and the harassment of former Obama volunteers as well as his own family and friends.  We don't have this guy's records re: birth, schools, client lists, legislative agenda IL, citizenship status/passport info. No way he should have been cleared just with his acquiantances alone. BTW, has he gone to bury his grandmother yet?

[averitas]

I hate to tell you guys this, I didn't believe it myself. Someone just called me and said they were training youth and citizens in Tampa Florida, was just on the news. If anyone lives in the area, could someone capture the news and post the video here. She said they must have started the civilian force volunteer thing already?

[blueyes1947]

thats what they did in china! they brainwashed the youth ,and they turned on their own family's.

As far as I know all of the poeople who rebelled were killed? am I wrong?

[ussick]

What is Obama afraid of? Obama is afraid of pancakes because pancakes would be a better choice for president. Pancakes don't send people to war, they don't kill babies, they don't pass laws that take away our freedoms, they don't try to tax us into poverty, they don't spy on us while we are on the phone, and they could feed the worlds starving population without playing the rice card. Oh, and pancakes don't make infomercials and then squash free speech. Vote for pancakes 2008!

[evansville70]

Democrats believe in free speech as long as they agree with the speech.

If you disagree with them you are a "racist" "sexist" or "homophobe"

Is it just me or is Obama acting like Hugo Chavez

[ColumbiaCowboy]

It's just you. Clearly.

[aprilbaby64]

And what about Obama's creepy "Free" Choice Act - to expose any employees who don't want to unionize?

Obama - a creepy coward who will definitely offer change (and that's not always good), but no hope.

[aprilbaby64]

Yep, Obama is right out of Orwell's 1984 with his upside-down backward speech that fools his frothing masses.

Fairness doctrine? Fair to whom. I, too, am more Libertarian/Independent, but the only place I can hear anything other than Liberal/leftist rants and talking point is talk radio.

Even there, plenty of liberals call in and have a voice. I like that. We talk and listen rather than have the media or Govt. dictate what we should say and think.

Continued Above

[siclos]

On Obama's website it says: "As president, Obama will clarify the public interest obligations of broadcasters who occupy the nations spectrum." The translation of this is that he will use the fairness doctrine to force media to present material that advances his agenda. The excuse being that it is in the "public interest" to have "vigorous debate".

Obama will "expand hate crime statutes" and their enforcement against "public officials", a purge. This video might be "cyber stalking" to Obama.

[MisterQuebec]

I guess the news media in Missouri have been pretty much silents about these dirty tricks.

[MisterQuebec]

Thinkfuture, do you know if the Republicans also have their truth squads?

[sajorojas]

Lookup videos of children worshiping Obama then look at the Hitler youth and the children in the movie 1984, then look at the children in North Korea. Yeah.  Change.

[crdave]

Liberals aren't dumb when it comes to "marketing". They understand that the person answering the questions doesn't hold as much power as the guy asking the question.

Framing the debate is their tactic to creating a perfectly uniform message which is clearly working.

Hey listen, why should a little thing like freedom bother stop a guy who can say with a straight face that he never heard any of Wright's racist rants.

You will Obey!! *sigh* aaah... the liberal mantra!

[hasani42]

I was actually considering voting for Obama until this happened. Im beginning to see that Obama is to the left of Karl marx, and thats possibly an understatement. I wish more of my peope in the african american community would wake up, stop supporting someone for president just because he has brown skin. pay attention to the lyrics and not just the melody of the song. This guy is a marxist, stalinist, communist, islamofascist wolf in sheeps clothing.

[Oahukale]

Is it legal to that? Is this the American way? Is Free speech a thing of the past?

[MisterQuebec]

Legal or not, it must scary to be awoken by the sherrif and his friends knocking at your door to "discuss" with you about the opinions you publicly expressed. Tell the sherrif to mind his business, and get tazered, your wrist broken "by accident", and die in the following hours...

[rustygaver]

He's a Communist Muslim!

[smoketnt]

Also, yesterday, at the University of Mary Washington, the Obama campaign required a ban on signs and banners for "security" reasons.

Future, have you ever thought about adding your videos to a podcast feed as well?
