JEFFERSON CITY - Gov. Matt Blunt today issued the following
statement on news reports that have exposed plans by U.S. Senator
Barack Obama to use Missouri law enforcement to threaten and
intimidate his critics.
“St. Louis County Circuit Attorney Bob McCulloch, St. Louis City
Circuit Attorney Jennifer Joyce, Jefferson County Sheriff Glenn Boyer,
and Obama and the leader of his Missouri campaign Senator Claire
McCaskill have attached the stench of police state tactics to the
Obama-Biden campaign.
“What Senator Obama and his helpers are doing is scandalous beyond
words, the party that claims to be the party of Thomas Jefferson is
abusing the justice system and offices of public trust to silence
political criticism with threats of prosecution and criminal
punishment. This abuse of the law for intimidation insults the most
sacred principles and ideals of Jefferson. I can think of nothing more
offensive to Jefferson’s thinking than using the power of the state to
deprive Americans of their civil rights. -
