You are trying to deflect the conversation away from the preparation and circulation of this dishonest and defamatory ad.
Cry me a river. The past 4 years has been nothing but one long dishonest and defamatory political ad against the President. The Nazi comment was picked up and repeated hundreds of times by the propaganda arm of the Democrat Party (msm) and now you piss your pants
when it's YOUR ox that's being gored.
I didn't hear this on MSM, perhaps because I don't spend much time on TV news.
Then maybe you shouldn't be commenting on it.
However, I think that it must have been said in a discussion of what the orange whore meant by his comment after Charlottesville that "there are good people and bad people on both sides."
How about if you take a few months and go get informed? Then you might have a clue about what's being said instead of commenting on something you haven't even heard.
I am informed already. Everything that has been said about the orange whore has been related to his conduct, both in office and in his personal life. No other president in memory , either republican or democrat, has conducted himself in such a disgraceful manner. He and pigpence deserve everything coming at them. They are both pigs, not gentlemen, and this is common knowledge both in the U.S. and abroad.
That’s your opinion, that’s not what this thread is about. This is about Obama calling to censor private citizens (a PAC), airing an ad on TV. It doesn’t matter if the ad is a “lie” to you or not. It’s called freedom of speech, and the First Amendment was made especially to allow criticism of the government and elected officials.
Dems lie 24/7 on TV about President Trump. You don’t see us calling to have all their shows cancelled. In fact the best advertising for the GOP is to give liberals a microphone and let them lie, because most people are smart enough to know they are full of shit.
Neither President Obama nor Vice President Biden is currently in office. They are not part of the government nor are they elected officials. Nor does this case involve "criticism." No one can steal another person's public identity and likeness. We are dealing with a tort akin to defamation, and President Obama has every right to demand a stop to it.
The right to "freedom of speech" does not extend this far, and
it only applies to all levels of government, at any rate.
So if you want to complain about a denial of free speech, attack the "gag rule" that the current federal government has in place that forbids medical facilities that receive federal funding
to even mention the word "abortion" to their clients. Isn't it the trump administration that threatens to withdraw federal funding from universities that "deny free speech"? These situations both involve the federal government.
It is scary that you are so willing to allow lies to be broadcast to the American people.
BTW: no one has ever explained in any specific way how anyone in the media "lies" about trump. A lot of what he says is either on Twitter or is at a podium or other space in which he is actually filmed for posterity, so he is on record.
