Since the FEC considers the Republican presidential convention scheduled to begin Aug. 30 a national political primary in which Bush is a candidate, Moore and other politically oriented filmmakers could not air any ad mentioning Bush after July 30

Heck, it will be too late by then. But, sigh, I suppose its better than nothing.

LOL. Caught in their own net. It's a damn shame.

Unfortunately, the law in question is pretty much unconstitutional. It would be wonderful to supress this piece of leftist drivel, but alas, its America.

In a draft advisory opinion placed on the FECÕs agenda for todayÕs meeting, the agencyÕs general counsel states that political documentary filmmakers may not air television or radio ads referring to federal candidates within 30 days of a primary election or 60 days of a general election.

Some short sighted people may gloat over this, but the American Republic is just about finished when such censorship is possible. What is to stop the government from banning the film from theaters if same bureaucrat decides to interpret the campaign finance law that way? I would rather have the chaos and noise of freedom where demagogues like Moore are able to speak than the well-ordered silence of tyranny. The McCain-Feingold "reform" is a dagger through the heart of the Constitution and it needs to be repealed.

The court of O'Connor's Supreme Whim utterly ignored the constitution when this law was OKed by the awful 4 + 1 . I hope this movie and others do get advertising banned so that Americans can get mad enough to demand for this rotten law's repeal.

I guess this will get the Libs to turn against CFR.

The FEC is useless. They respond so slowly and only slap on the wrist.

Perhaps they should advise all TV stations that they will be fined for showing commercials. Remember no Ahhhnold movies?

Hmmm....... maybe some republicans should put together a Kerry video and start advertising it.
