Video of Political Ad that Obama Does Not Want Aired
WASHINGTON, Aug 26, 2008- Obama team
fails to convince stations to kill ad in spite of threats, harassment and
false claims. The Barack Obama campaign has resorted to a campaign of
intimidation and legal threats to convince television stations and the
federal government to force off the air an ad by the American Issues Project
detailing the link between Sen. Obama and remorseless domestic terrorist
William Ayers.
The American Issues Project's ad began airing Thursday, August 21, and will
continue through the Democratic Convention. An electronic version of the ad
and full documentation of all statements made are available at American
Issues Project's website:
www.americanissuesproject.org
Barack Obama's general counsel Bob Bauer sent a second, sharper letter to
the Justice Department, directly attacking the Dallas billionaire funding a
harsh attack ad, Harold Simmons.
"We reiterate our request that the Department of Justice fulfill its
commitment to take prompt action to investigate and to prosecute the
American issues Project, and we further request that the Department of
Justice investigate and prosecute Howard Simmons for a knowing and willful
violation of the individual aggregate contribution limits," he wrote. He
called the group's activities "patently illegal."
A spokeswoman for the Justice Department, Laura Sweeney, had no comment on
the second letter.
The American Issues Project released a statement responding to the
letter.
"Having failed in its attempts to get our legal, factual and fully-supported
ad off the air, Barack Obama's campaign now wants to put our donors in
prison for exercising their right to free speech," said Ed Martin, the
group's president. "These over-the-top bullying tactics are reminiscent of
the kind of censorship one would see in a Stalinist dictatorship, with the
only difference being that those guys generally had to wait until they were
in power to throw people who disagreed with them into jail."
The group said its ad would continue to air through the end of the
Democratic National Convention. Simmons has spent almost $3 million to air
the ad, which can be seen on the group's site.
It's worth noting that this isn't the first time Bauer has called for
criminal investigations and prosecutions into the donors to independent
groups critical of Obama, including one supporting John Edwards and another
supporting Hillary Rodham Clinton. His words did have the effect of scaring
their donors and consultants, but haven't yet appeared to result in any
prosecution.
