"We Will Not Be Silenced' Highlights Hopey-Changey Thuggery

I'm providing here the Fox News interview with Gigi Gaston, the long-time Democrat who's producing a powerful documentary on the Barack Obama campaign's fraud and voter intimidation in 2008. Some clips are at the homepage, "We Will Not Be Silenced." And I want to stress the Ms. Gaston is a Democrat (the biting significance of which comes across repeatedly at the interview with Alyson Camerota). This administration is thuggery on steroids. But none of it is surprising to me. I wrote about Obama's egregious violations of federal campaign law on October 2008, and while there were some other good articles about it in the MSM at the time, once "The One" was elected no one heard another words about the lawbreaking and finance scandals.

In any case, Doug Ross has a killer piece on this, "
'We Will Not Be Silenced': Democrats Produce Documentary Alleging Rampant Vote Fraud by Obama Campaign vs. Hillary in 2008 Primaries."

I'll add that Ed Morrissey is not impressed, and he updates his post:
I’ve gotten a couple of testy e-mails from the producers, but after watching the clips from the still-incomplete documentary, I’m still not convinced that this somehow rises above the usual elbows and sucker punches one sees at caucuses. But more to the point, if this is all somehow true and Obama “stole” the nomination from Hillary, then why did Hillary (a) endorse Obama, (b) campaign for him, and (c) leave the Senate to take the SecState job? Are we to believe that the biggest victim of the theft is somehow playing along with it? After all, she could have easily stayed in the Senate, win re-election this year (Republicans may not even be able to beat her replacement, and geared up for a 2012 primary challenge to Obama. The fact that she didn’t should tell people that the collection of irregularities doesn’t amount to a stolen election.
Actually, Ed answered his update at the original post (the Clintons are Machiavellian). But aside from these reasonable disagreements, the portions of the clips I've watch raise a larger question of violations of democracy regardless of whether Obama "stole" the election. When black civil rights activists are turned away and Hillary Clinton supporters never saw the light of day at the precinct-level Democratic Party caucuses, it's not so much who won, but at what cost? And by now of course we've had 18 months of SEIU-Democratic hopey-changey stormtrooping, so it's about time we get a little more light on these practices. Get these f***ers out of power, sheesh!
