According to The Other Paper, a Columbus Obama supporter named Renee Barker had a heated political argument with the male cashier at a United Dairy Farmers store. She was verbally harassed by those employees and later subject to intimidation and threats by them and by the company itself. At one point, an hour after Barker called the store to report the harassment, she received a blocked call in which the caller told her, "Watch your back. I know where you live."
UDF's district head of security later sent her a threatening letter, citing her "harassing phone calls to Corporate offices," referring to calls she had placed to report their employees' verbal abuse and threats. The company also banned Barker from all their stores and tried to intimidate her with claims that they had filed police reports against her, (though it turned out that the Columbus police have no such reports on file).

This comes as no surprise. Although Mr. Obama has been elected and is scheduled to take the oath of office in a couple of days, the fear mongers continue to spread rumor and lies. When the news broke about the Department of Justice, Civil Rights Division being stacked with conservative lawyers, I was not surprised about that new either. The neocon agenda is to curtail individual freedom and control all forms of communication by conservative filtering. We, as free people, must demand that an Obama administration investigate and prosecute those who have conspired to undermine our Constitution.
