Here is video of a discussion on CNN about the possible implications of the U.S. Supreme Court hearing a case on "Hillary: The Movie," which was put out during the 2008 Election by Citizens United. The FEC held that the movie could not be distributed on demand because it constituted a "campaign contribution," since it is highly critical of Hillary Clinton.

This case could have lasting implications for Campaign Finance laws, and just how active organized groups such as corporations and labor unions can be in political campaigns. It will be the first case heard by new Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor.

The sorry excuse for censorship is that the movie was funded by a Corporation and we cannot allow rich corporations to be involved in the political process.

Of course,when rich pharmaceutical companies run ads promoting Obamacare, then that is just fine.

Well, this is the sad legacy of John McCain and Fred Thomson in their time in the Senate Centrist Coalition. It’s not that conservatives did not warn those wackos, they just did not care.
