[QUOTE="moreluck, post: 894685, member: 1246"] Shameless fear mongering. Via [URL="http://www.whitehousedossier.com/2011/10/28/michelle-gop-curb-freedom-speech-religion/"][COLOR=#990000]Keith Koffler[/COLOR][/URL]: [INDENT]In a chilling appraisal of President Obama’s Republican opposition, First Lady Michelle Obama Thursday suggested a Republican victory in the 2012 presidential election would result in curbs on freedom of speech and religion. Speaking at a fundraiser at a private residence in Tampa, Mrs. Obama noted the power of the president to appoint members of the Supreme Court. She clearly indicated that a Republican would select justices who would attack basic First Amendment rights, saying, “that’s what’s at stake” in the election.
