Democrats Imply a Publisher Promoting Republican Books Could Be Illegal
NewsBusters ^ | 9/6/10 | Tim Graham

Over at stopnetregulation.org, Seton Motley reports that if the Democrats can't ban books, they'll try to ban book promotion. Democrats are furious that the conservative Threshhold imprint of Simon & Schuster (a corporate cousin of CBS) published a book by three House Republicans titled "Young Guns," and included a promotional video: That was too much free speech for the Democrat Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC), which lawyered up and sent the publishing house an ominous letter intimating it may be in violation of several campaign finance laws - claiming the video was an in-kind contribution to Republicans.

Hmmm then what about Obama publishing a book when he is standing for election?

How about Dan Rather? Did he make in-kind contributions to the Dem platform? How about the news anchors who ridicule guests with opposing political views, underestimate Remembering Honor day attendance, and cover Obama’s backside. Commentators who get a ‘tingle up their leg’ at the magnificence of it all? I’d like the IRS to send MSM types a form to fill out to acknowledge in-kind contributions. The fed needs the money and the MSM are donating their services.

They have a criminal mindset; that’s their frame of mind.

The Democrats are helping to make that book a success.
