“...my post above isn’t to say I support government intrusion on anyone’s first amendment rights. I’m just saying that as long as the FEC does, Kos is a different type of organization.”

Sure, they’re different, take paid ads, a collection of morons,...

BUT, it has nothing to do with rules, right/wrong, paid ads, etc.

It has to do with controlling speech that someone doesn’t like and when that is the goal, there are plenty of liberals that would like FR shut down.

Its exactly the same as gun control, its not about guns its about control!

If they can regulate the KOS kool-aid kids they can regulate FReeRepublic and if you can regulate something you can ban it!

No tax, No regulation, No way!

I think we ALL agree that the FEC should STEP OFF of internet sites. The question posed here is whether the leftist idiots who cry about campaign reform will be held to their own standards. Kos is not a site, it’s a cancer.

Well said. Despite the fact that I’d like to see Daily Kos shut down, I really, REALLY don’t want to see the Government do it... Market forces, yes. Goverment interference in free speech? He!! NO!
