Now we'll find out if there are any Clinton holdovers in the FCC.
Seriously, the fact that Kerry is even trying to censor political speech is a major red flag. To even suggest that the government should regulate the content of political speech is unheard of. This is a major story in and of itself (which will continue to be ignored by the media).

I keep hearing "FCC", but I am certain I heard "FEC" on the top of the news. Or is it they asking the FEC to rule them illegal and ask the FCC to then pull the ads? Where is the lawsuit? Where is the text? Somebody can get a PDF? Krystallnacht, man, krystallnacht. Problem is, Kerry just flushed a toilet with his own crap inside to the high water line, and it is going to splash back on his botoxed mug so firmly press to the rim of the toilet seat.

Here in Wisconsin, Senator Russ Feingold has successfully prevented Right to Life from mentioning his name in their ads about the upcoming Senatorial election. They're supposed to say something like, make your vote for Senator count as a vote for life. Or, maybe they're not even allowed to say that! They certainly cannot use his name, and he has repeatedly voted to approve partial birth abortion up until the 9th month!

Isn't that what the McCain-Feingold Campaign Fiance Reform Act is all about? The Congress passed it, President Bush signed it, and the Supreme Court claimed it wasn't unconstitutional. I guess none of these folks have read the First Amendment recently. To be fair, Bush stated that he thought parts were unconstitutional and would be invalidated by the SC. Which they are of course, and which the Court did not invalidate.
