St. Louis Circuit Jennifer Joyce has been caught in a dust-up over her presence on a “Truth Squad” for Barack Obama. Jennifer Joyce

For the background, see Jo Mannies’ post below.

Now, here is a statement from Joyce:

As a citizen, I believe that elections should be about issues.  I also have enormous respect for our First Amendment and freedom of speech.  My sole purpose in participating in this initiative is about getting truthful information to the voters.  This has never been or never will be about prosecuting people.

Clearly there are those who are attempting to twist the purpose of this initiative for their own benefit. This attack is a great example of how the truth is distorted in campaigns and what we’re trying to stand up against.

I would be interested to know where you attended law school. It wasn’t in Nuremberg was it? Even if you “weren’t planning on prosecuting people” this was still an attack of terrorism designed to silence and strip citizens of their civil rights? What’s next Jennifer? Yellow stars?

Oh wow! You get caught doing something so un-American and flat out illegal…something that could throw you in jail for a long time under federal statutes and you come up with this response? No, as an Obamination supporter, you and liberal trash like you have become so arrogant that you think you are above it all, hence you can get away with it. Not so. You should lose your job and be investigated by the FBI.

> THE ONLY UPSET ONES ARE EVIL LIARS WHO SPREAD UGLY AND HARMFUL RUMORS!

So D. Walker, that means you, and your plastic messiah, Barak Beelzebub Obama, are upset?

This is what I sent to Jennifer Joyce, Bob McCulloch and your Constitution - clueless TV station reporters:

Jennifer Joyce
You are a Nazi.
We have a First Amendment in this country.
You have absolutely no business intimidating or threatening anyone who runs political advertising, at any time, concerning a political issue or a political candidate.
What you are doing is wrong, on its face. It is also obvious that you are partisan, as you obviously will not subject the lies that Obama tells to the same Brown-Shirt tactics you are threatening against McCain supporters.
You are unfit for public office.
You should be ashamed of yourself.
The cure for “bad speech” is MORE SPEECH, not an Un-American, anti-First Amendment liberal nut-case like you trying to shut down debate you don’t like!

I just deleted three posts by “James” for using foul and obscene language.

That is NOT allowed on Political Fix. The person can be electronically barred from posting if he/she continues to violate our rules.

Sorry to all that “James” comments were on our site for several hours.

So many newbie posters - mostly vomiting the Right Wing Rowdies (RWR) message
All hyping up their fake outrage
So striking that the regular RWR’s are not posting.
Why would they miss this party, they thrive on lying, sliming and faking outrage.

Could it be our regulars RWR’s are the newbies?
It sure sounds like our regulars posting, except they’ve taken it up a notch.
Maybe storm-trooper HQ wasn’t happy with their performance and sent some reinforcements

Nice try RWR’s
The battery for your cloaking cape died.

Your slander, lies, false accusations and hyperbole of non issues still isn’t working.
Give up

Like Peggy and Mike said, “It’s over”

Let me tell you something. If you have read anything about Zimbabwe and Mugabe and how he has kicked out foreign journalists and controls the media and kills the opposition, it is time for you all to really think if this country should also be ruled by someone who espouses Black Liberation Theology. Read on: http://www.capmag.com/article.asp?ID=5158

There is certainly enough info on the Internet to educate yourselves even if the media and the Post-Dispatch won’t.

Oh help, here comes Jennifer to take me away. Someone call me a First Amendment lawyer!

You won’t see this in the PD either: Obama’s letter threatening the NRA:

Funny how Joyce didn’t prosecute the Post-Dispatch when their columnists wrote lies about Sarah Palin that had to be corrected. I guess those prosecutions just work one-way, right Ms. Joyce?

Why doesn’t Jenifer Joyce use some of her prosecutorial power to prosecute the crackheads, thugs and murderers who live in the cesspool of St Louis, another liberal district, full of welfare dependents who are so stupid, they have to have the government tell them to flee a hurricane, or tornado, or even how to wipe their *s*. Is this where the 8 niggers who are going to rape Sarah Palin live?
