Pressuring for censorship
I post this not entirely for the content of this ad but because the Obama Campaign is demanding a criminal investigation into American Issues Project, Inc. (AIP), the non-profit organization that created the ad. The only problem is, AIP didn’t do anything wrong. It doesn’t take a criminal investigation to figure that out. Additionally, below is a letter to the Department of Justice, penned by AIP’s attorney, essentially saying that Obama is demanding an investigation into an issue containing facts he cannot disprove and questioning actions wholly legal.
