Any group who's goal is to prohibit freedom of expression and freedom of speech 
in this country is an enemy of liberty.  DNC lawyers threatening TV stations 
for running Swiftee ads, this ugly little incident in PA mentioned below, 
AFL-CIO storming RNC offices across the country in a coordinated manner - all 
very dangerous stuff and very indicative of the despair that must be gripping 
the Democrats in general.
