BTW, same thing about the Janet Jackson and Howard Stern controversies. If you are against CFR then you should be against the FCC trying to clean up TV and radio.

Puhleeze. Drawing lines is often complex, but in this case it is really easy.

Janet Jackson's activities are within the question of sexual decency. That sphere is regulated, see, e.g., XXX movies are not regualr fare on daytime teevee.

The CFR law relates to political speech.

I don't think for a minute that you are unable to make the distinction, and you ought to take time to craft more substantive arguments.

I wasn't talking about me. I was talking about the average Joe or Jane who doesn't like the Janet Jackson antics and also doesn't like negative political ads, thus sees no harm of banning them within 30 days of an election.
