Supporters Reject Obama’s Admonition for a Clean Race.
Floyd
Brown Releases Obama’s Supporters Threatening and Profane Calls
to his Home and Office
“Intimidation by Obama
supporters is in vogue,” said Floyd Brown, President of the
National Campaign Fund.
Senator Barack Obama
has often said he wants his campaign and supporters to take the
“high road during the campaign.” But they are not listening to
him. As Obama puts it in his book, The Audacity of Hope, "It is
at the heart of my moral code, and it is how I understand the
Golden Rule -- not simply as a call to sympathy or charity, but
as something more demanding, a call to stand in somebody else's
shoes and see through their eyes."
He has gone so far as
to say he would “fire” any campaign workers that were caught
taking the low road. “Yet when I participate, I have find myself
having my life threatened,” said Republican activist, Brown.
Brown has taken the
extraordinary step of releasing a dozen of ugly voice mails of
calls placed to him and his family. The audio can be heard at a
special page on the Exposeobama.com website at
www.exposeobama.com/calls.html.
“I challenge Senator
Obama to denounce the thuggish behavior of his partisans.
Threats of violence and intimidation are not a mature response
to any campaign advertisement,” said Brown. “Senator Obama
cannot say out of one side of his mouth he wants a clean
campaign and then allow his people to threaten me to ‘watch my
back.’
Senator Obama must put
a stop to these threats undertaken in his name,” said Brown,
adding, “In my 25 years of involvement in presidential campaigns
I have never had my family attacked.”
