I only respond to what you say not what you think you know.

Congress changed nothing with this law but the ability of candidates to use attack ads funded through soft money within the 30/60 day period prior to the election. The SAME ad with the SAME content can be run at ANY time if funded through hard money. This is a trivial change and only the stupidest candidates will be hurt by it. Certainly it is nothing to justify the hysteria generated here by the perpetually outraged.

Congress has abridged free speech in many cases and that is why you don't see Al Queda recruiters openly recruiting members in the USA and why the German Bund was destroyed during WWII. YOu don't seriously think this was un-constitutional do you.

Yes I do think it's unconstitutional and to day that I'm overreacting and that Rush and Shaun are overactting is very stupid, very idiotic and very foolish.

What this is going to do is alloow goverment bureaucrat to do some very malicious and very harmful things right before election time people like myself will not be allowed to address these issues. This could very well effect FR too even though it's an Internet outlet because if people like me call a candidate to the carpet on their policy it might end up being construed as an "attack ad" even though it's on the Internet. The way this was written is that bad.

I've read the entire thing in it's entirety and it is indeed very dangerous dicta that is going to end up doing enormous harm to this country and to say Rush and Shaun and myeself and a lot of the other freepers are overaccting with our observations is stupid, idiotic and foolish.

Yesterday's Rush show was him at his very best since his return to the air and he was right on the money about this law. You might try and read some of the other observations on this. It would give you a far different perspective than what you've stated.
