The Obama campaign is trying to silence my old friend David Freddoso:

“David Freddoso has made a career off [sic] dishonest, extreme hate mongering,” the message said. “And WGN apparently thinks this card-carrying member of the right-wing smear machine needs a bigger platform for his lies and smears about Barack Obama — on the public airwaves.”

Wait a minute … the right-wing smear machine has cards?!

More seriously, though – isn’t this what things are supposed to be like in Vladimir Putin’s America?
