Obama: Is the facade cracking?

Sounds like someone's past is finally catching up to him...

“Obama Seeks to Silence Ad Tying Him to 60s Radical”

That’s a headline from the Associated Press Monday, noting how the Obama campaign has turned to the Justice Department to silence conservative critics who want to make sure the American people know about Obama’s relationship with Bill Ayers, an unrepentant anti-Vietnam War activist who was a founder of the terrorist group Weather Underground.

The content of the ad aside, the Obama campaign’s knee-jerk reaction once again reveals the true instincts of the political Left, how the so-called progressive champions of “tolerance” impulsively resort to using the brute force of Big Government to shut down ideas they don’t like. Whether it’s “hate crimes,” the “Fairness Doctrine” or campaign ads, the radical Left is a growing danger to free speech and religious liberty.
