Well, doesn’t this fly into the face of the McCain-Feingold campaign finance reform law? It would seem this were a campaign tactic, put out by a third party, that is a direct SUPPORT of a particular candidate, something I thought was illegal under the terms of that law. It is apparently perfectly legal to make disparaging comments about an opponent or rival for the same office, so long as the candidate who benefits never has mention of his (or her) own name in conjunction with the scurrilous attack. By logical extension, then, for outside entities to actively SUPPORT the candidacy of anyone, who are not directly a part of the campaign itself, is equally as illegal and immoral, because, in that case, there is no mention whatsoever of any of the competitors in an similarly positive sense.
A sort of reverse karma.
And the newspaper editorials cannot even talk about it.
Hate talk is endorsed, the truth be cursed for the obstacle it is.
I wonder if McCain will try to shut them down like j Effin did in 2004 with the Stolon Honor documentary.
