That may no longer be true.

Some on the left may be more willing to strike a Faustian bargain with CampaignFinanceReform in order to punish those on the right.

Their hatred for conservatives at this point has overcome their clear thinking and there are many who are now eager to allow the government to infringe upon their own freedom of speech if it means "shutting up" people like us at Free Republic.

Consider this remark, typical of SOME of the posters at Democratic Underground:

[This is not a bad thing, IMHO.
This is about the use of political money on the internet,
which is being equated to using political money on broadcast
media.
People that don't take or raise political money will be fine, people that raise money honestly will be fine, the Swift BoatVeterans for Truth will be in deep shit.]

----A DUer on CFR applicability to internet forums.
We can't count on a bunch of hate-clouded fools to ally with us on the reasoning that it's in their own best interest as well as ours.
