The point is that CFR would not prevent a POLITICAL ad like that from running today, as long as it does not mention a candidate's name.

And forbidding the mention of a candidate's name *is* a restriction on free speech. The most important kind.

YOU get real.

Take a look at your history. There was an uproar over the diasy ad. It only ran once. It was the first "attack" ad. It probably gave Goldwater 5 points, but didn't matter much since he was running behind, 70/30.
