Democrats believe in free speech for porn peddlers.
When it comes to political speech, they believe in censorship.

Did any of the vets on Hannity seem concerned? Are they totally legit? why is their technology guy on the radio instead of fixing their site?
That's a good term for it - hadn't heard that one before.
Remember the Willie Horton ad from 1988? The Bush campaign ran it one time. Thats it. It ran once as a paid advertisement. After that, the dems went bonkers and it was played over and over and over on every channel.
And never mind that it was Algore that brought up Willie Horton first in the RAT primary.
Hey, no worries. Just figured you were sorta new, and I'd be nice rather than just jump on you and pummel you ;0)
AMEN!!!
"They didn't seem to mind Farhenheit 911."
That brings up an interesting thought--why didn't "WE" scream foul and threaten to sue for all the lies in the movie? I realize if it had been promoted as fiction there might have been a problem, but wasn't it promoted as a documentary and therefore subject to a stronger set of rules and standards?
I don't have the software either.
It should be pretty easy for Kerry to show he is lying if that is the case. Produce your medical records that document who treated you Kerry!
What;s with President on the plane? Hes NOT President he's a candidate for the Presidency.
OK, so what about the claim on the fax that says none of the guys saying those nasty things about Kerry even served on either of the two boats (PCF 44 & whatever) he was on? That's a good question. How does one explain that?
The revolution will not be bloodless!
Well, there was the time that Harry Truman threatened to punch out a Washington Post critic who panned his daughter's piano concert.
AMEN!
Laws protecting consumers from false advertising of products are enforced pretty vigorously. For example, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) took action in 2002 to protect the public from the self-proclaimed psychic "Miss Cleo," whom the FTC said promised free readings over the phone and then socked her gullible clients with enormous telephone charges. The FTC even forced a toy company a while back to stop running ads showing its "Bouncin' Kid Ballerina Kid" doll standing alone and twirling gracefully without human assistance, which the FTC said was video hokum.
But there's no such truth-in-advertising law governing federal candidates. They can legally lie about almost anything they want. In fact, the Federal Comunications Act even requires broadcasters who run candidate ads to show them uncensored, even if the broadcasters believe their content to be offensive or false.
And of course, if the ad is true, case closed.
Email of support and gratitude sent.
I view this as "Fargin War" and a threat beyond the WOT.
Thanks for the link.

Where's Susan Sarandon's wife, Tim Robbins, and his complaining about the "chill wind blowing across this land"?
