Missouri “Truth Squads” To Protect Obama Campaign

This sounds very Orwellian to me… and all on the public payroll? Does the St. Louis County routinely back a candidate, and support him or her with with taxpayers money? “We want to keep this campaign focused on issues,” Joyce said. “Missourians don’t want to be distracted by these divisive character attacks.”
Will they do the same for the McCain ticket? Wouldn’t that be the fair thing to do, especially when the taxpayers are flipping the bill?
