This passive response to Democrat outrages is frustrating, particulary when the Dems are trampling upon such things as the First Amendment.

I assume we are not talking about write-in campaigns, but strictly the Democratic Party's official letters which contain veiled threats. One thing is the RNC is planning ahead. If it became strategically necessary and morally appropriate to put pressure on the Nets some time in the future, they will not be branded hypocrites for hammering the Dems now.

I'm not sure I buy that there is a smoking gun that the Democratic Party is violating the First Amendment. I do think their tactics are way overboard unless it were the slam-dunk case that the mini-series is Michael Moor-esque as lying political proganda. And, by all accounts, with its admitted fictionalizations, it is far, far above that low standard, and via drama tries to tell some unvarnished truths.

Yes.

I'd like to think that too. I hope you're right.

And a veiled threat to trample on ABC's First Amendment rights is not an actual trampling. If the Dems were to follow-through on their threats (which I don't think they have the ability to do), that would be a trampling.
