Win at any cost

Win at any cost doesn’t sound like much of a change from politics are usual. For the liberals in general and Obama in particular, even the 1st Amendment is a price not too great to pay
Obama not only aired a response ad to the spot linking him to William Ayers, but he sought to block stations the commercial by warning station managers and asking the Justice Department to intervene. The campaign also planned to compel advertisers to pressure stations that continue to air the anti-Obama commercial. (Link)
We can only assume this is how Obama will operate if elected. Attack and intimidate the general public for saying anything negative about Obama
In a letter to station managers, Obama campaign lawyer Robert Bauer wrote: “Your station is committed to operating in the public interest, an objective that cannot be satisfied by accepting for compensation material of such malicious falsity.”
And finagle the legal system
Bauer also wrote to Deputy Assistant Attorney General John C. Keeney, noting that the ad is a “knowing and willful attempt to evade the strictures of federal election law.”
Notice there was no official claims of “falsities” made to the Attorney General’s office.
