The Future of Free Speech under Obama

Michael Barone at National Review contemplates the future of the free speech by pointing out several examples by the Obama campaign to suppress any opposition voice against Obama.

Obama supporters who found the campuses congenial and Obama himself, who has chosen to live all his adult life in university communities, seem to find it entirely natural to suppress speech that they don't like and seem utterly oblivious to claims that this violates the letter and spirit of the First Amendment. In this campaign, we have seen the coming of the Obama thugocracy, suppressing free speech, and we may see its flourishing in the four or eight years ahead.
