Obama Building Autocracy Through Intimidation And Smearing The Opposition

Recently a station began to suffer the wrath of Barack Obama because a interviewer had the audacity to ask Joe Biden "tough questions".

Quote:
Barack Obama's campaign killed all interviews with a Florida TV station after Sen. Joe Biden, the Democratic vice presidential nominee, faced tough and critical questions from a reporter at the Orlando station, the Orlando Sentinel reported .

During a satellite video Thursday, WFTV's Barbara West quoted Karl Marx and asked Biden how Obama's comment to "Joe the Plumber," about spreading the wealth wasn't being Marxist.

"Are you joking?," Biden asked.

West replied, "No."

Interestingly, Youtube.com (who is in the tank for Obama) has pulled the interview. Try to click and watch it Flopping Aces » Blog Archive » Obama Thug Machine Punishes TV Station for Asking Tough Questions

Google "Obama punishes television station"
Google "Obama punishes radio station"
Google "Obama pressures television station"
Google "Obama pressures radio station"

See the long, long list of examples where Obama's camp has strongarmed media into doing his bidding, and punishing them when they have acted unfavorably.

As far as "Joe the plumber",

"joe" is an example.. ask the wrong questions and your life will be turned inside out looking for anything to discredit you
