Last Thursday, Jim Hoft at Gateway Pundit reported that St. Louis City Circuit Attorney Jennifer Joyce and St. Louis County Circuit Attorney Bob McCulloch were forming an Obama truth squad:
...
St. Louis City Circuit Attorney Jennifer Joyce and St. Louis County Circuit Attorney Bob McCulloch are threatening to bring libel charges against those who speak out falsely against Barack Obama.
...
KMOV aired a story last night, that stated that St. Louis County Circuit Attorney Bob McCulloch and St. Louis City Circuit Attorney Jennifer Joyce, both Obama supporters, are threatening to bring criminal libel charges against anyone who levels what turns out to be false criticisms of their chosen candidate for President.
...
Now, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch is running this quote from Jennifer Joyce about the OTS:
...
Ms. Joyce's line that she has "enormous respect for our First Amendment" is downright laughable.Anyone threatening criminal prosecution of political speech, regardless of whether it's accurate or not, is intended to have a chilling effect on free speech.In this scenario, Ms. Joyce and Mr. McColloch determine what is or isn't false.
...
Secondly, Ms. Joyce and Mr. McColloch are public servants.
