If Obama succeeds in appointing equally extreme leftist candidates in key positions and - as Pamela Geller at Atlas suggests the ulterior motives of the <A HREF="http://atlasshrugs2000.typepad.com/atlas_shrugs/2008/11/obama-draws-the.html" REL="nofollow">"Obama/Biden Transition Project"</A><BR/><I><B>Called the "Obama/Biden Transition Project," it is a 501(c)4 tax-exempt organization, with no limits on the contributions it can receive and no requirements to divulge the names of individuals or organizations that give it money.</B></I><BR/><I><B>As well, the nonprofit may also serve as a haven for Obama supporters and campaign loyalists who for one reason or another can't be employed by the Administration or in the federal government.

Libtalk radio doesn't attract much of an audience anyway, so the emphasis is mainly on getting rid of the Right. I'm sure this is not the only method they will think up to curtail freedom of speech. <BR/><BR/>BTW, Walid Phares is back after several hours of a message that his domain name had expired.
