Dems on FEC vote to punish conservative for making anti-Obama movie

Republican members block the action, but dang

The next time a liberal claims there is no such thing as liberal media bias, all you have to do is ask why this story wasn’t covered outside of Fox News and sites like ours. A man makes an independent film critical of the president, and the Federal Election Commission comes within one vote of punishing him for it. He didn’t coordinate with any candidate or any party. He did it entirely on his own because he had something to say. Yet the FEC, which by law consists of three Democrats and three Republicans, actually takes a vote - which ends in a tie along party lines - to find him guilty of violating campaign finance reporting rules.

Had there been one more Democrat vote - which is something Democrats want by the way - Joel Gilbert would have been forced to disclose all his funding sources for the film:

Even Adolph Hitler had the sense to fire Julius Streicher for showing his hand too soon.
