Not only that, but it would impact US much more than the left. The reason is that the left-wingers can still go ahead and do something (without fear of prosecution lest some officials be described as, say, 'racist' or 'homophobic' for infringing on what would still be left-wing free speech rights) and THEN the left-wing media could replay it as often as desired AS NEWS -- but at the same time refuse air time to conservatives.

Even easier, the media could replay such ads FROM THE PAST --specifically described as "commentary" -- without any left-wing organization openly paying anything at all. We could see hundreds of playings of montages of "Great Political Ads from the Past", all of course anti-conservayive, in the void caused by Shays-Meehan.

We need to start describing Shays-Meehan / McCain-Feingold as the fascist political bludgeoning that it is.
