A Sept. 29 WorldNetDaily article by Drew Zahn finally gets around to reporting the other side of the story regarding membership by Missouri law enforcement officials in an Obama “truth squad” that previous WND articles baselessly suggested would use the power of their office to legally harass anyone running ads critical of Obama. But Zahn baselessly frames it as the officials “back[ing] off the intimidating implications,” even though there’s no evidence they made any such claim in the first place that needed to be “backed off.”
Zahn further fails to note that John McCain’s campaign also utilizes law enforcement officials on its “truth squads,” let alone question the propriety of that in the same way it attacked those on the Obama side.
Zahn ends by quoting one county sheriff who is a “truth squad” member noting, “I came into my office Monday morning, and I’ve got 500 emails and 19 nasty phone calls calling me a communist pig!” Is WND proud of its readers doing that sort of thing?
