Stalin in blackface?

"Were it revealed that Sen. John McCain's campaign contributed a large sum of cash to an organization that had been proven to be complicit in voter fraud favoring Republican interests, his bid for the presidency would be over. Yet we hear nary a peep from the establishment press, which has gone so far as to hide information that would be damaging to the candidate."

"Nor will they hear about certain parties illegally gleaning information on Samuel Joseph Wurzelbacher (aka 'Joe the Plumber') after Wurzelbacher asked Obama on camera if he was going to raise his taxes. This resulted in instant notoriety for Wurzelbacher and renewed fears over Obama's tax policies. Last week, it was revealed that information on Wurzelbacher was accessed via computers belonging to the Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles, the Ohio Attorney General, the Cuyahoga County Child Support Enforcement Agency and the Toledo Police Department.

"'That's just kind of wrong,' Wurzelbacher was quoted as saying vis-à-vis the invasion of his privacy.

"Wrong? It's Stalinist. One wonders what tactics an Obama administration will employ if the man actually becomes president. Several readers have already offered this columnist the use of uncomfy accommodations in root cellars and foreign countries for four to eight years. Postulation that the Obama campaign is the only organization that stood to gain by investigating or discrediting the Ohio plumber is unlikely to be discussed on the airwaves to any significant degree.

"The 'Joe the Plumber' indiscretions are not the only instances of quasi-Stalinist machinations on the part of the Obama campaign. Obama has sought to quash advertising that has addressed some of the more potentially damaging controversial aspects of his history and policies, from gun control to his association with former terrorist William Ayers. In August, the Obama campaign attempted to bully WGN-AM radio in Chicago into canceling an appearance of conservative writer Stanley Kurtz, a vocal Obama critic. Last week, the campaign cut access for Florida television station WFTV after an interviewer asked Sen. Joe Biden, Obama's running mate, pointed questions about some of the more challenging criticism the candidate has had to face.

"Much of the honest analysis of Obama has generally been regarded by his campaign as something to be neutralized through legal action, activist pressure or accusations of racism."
