One could argue that Kos is a front to allow over the limit contributions by the founder to his candidate de’jour.

Yup, we're not part of that crowd. Our purpose is to put politicians into the federal prison system.
That's about as far from an election as you can get.

very bad idea—free republic would be shut down by Hill.

The Daily Kos does nothing more substantial than any other press or media organization. Perhaps The New York Times doesn’t officially proclaim its dedication toward the election of Democrats, but even most liberals willingly acknowledge their crucial role. Any activities of the Daily Kos clearly fall under the protections of the freedom of speech and of the press clauses of the First Amendment, which explicitly prohibits legislative restriction of those rights. If the Kos Media company bought advertising clearly geared toward the benefit of its favored candidates rather than to enhance its readership, then perhaps it might enter the world of commerce subject to regulatory purview.

Should the DailyKos be Subject to the Federal Election Commission? Absolutely not. And why should there be an FEC to begin with?

The FEC should be limited in power only to provide oversight for the use of public funds. All other powers should be eliminated.
Yet more BS to thank Peanut Brain Jimmuh Carter for.

No. Agree with them or not, they have the right to donate money their money as they wish. Going after Kos is just begging for the same to be done to FR. Campaign “reform” laws are wrong, no matter who they’re used against.
To: indigo5
That is like asking, should we allow an insult and misreading of the First Amendment become the law of the land? Certainly not, for if we allow it, then the next forum they come for will be us, with the NutRoots blessing and cheering.

Should the DailyKos be Subject to the Federal Election Commission? I learned the answer to that one in elementary school. Public school, at that! We were introduced to an old document, known affectionately as The Bill of Rights. I didn't understand all of it at the time, but that freedom of speech part was pretty clear.

When I see this in breaking news at the kos, I will be surprised.

No, no, and no again.
Second, most bloggers are read by like 3 people and their posts are certainly not worth $1,000.
That isn't the point at all. It isn't the money. The point is shutting them down.
No. Negative. Uh-uh. Absolutely not. Nyet. That isn't a slippery slope, it's a crevasse.

Has everyone gone mad? This complaint is ridiculous. You have a right to speak freely and a right to assemble, and a right to do both at the same time.
I didn’t read anything in the Constitution regarding how long you could assemble or how many dollars your speech could be worth before the First Amendment expired.

Consider:
It's a bit buried, but in DailyKos' FAQs [http://www.dkosopedia.com/wiki/DailyKos_FAQ] is the statement, "This is a Democratic blog, a partisan blog. One that recognizes that Democrats run from left to right on the ideological spectrum, and yet we're all still in this fight together. We happily embrace centrists like NDN's Simon Rosenberg and Howard Dean, conservatives like Martin Frost and Brad Carson, and liberals like John Kerry and Barack Obama. Liberal? Yeah, we're around here and we're proud. But it's not a liberal blog. It's a Democratic blog with one goal in mind: electoral victory."
Summary: DailyKos is explicitly an arm of the DemocRat Party. Compare to FR, where RINOs are blasted with as much venom as Pelosi, Reid or Teddy K. That admission might change a few minds on this thread.

Nope. What’s sauce for a KOmmie will eventually be sauce for a FReeper.

This was a
really bad idea and the right needs to stand soundly against it, especially when its aimed at the left.
When you stick to your principles even when those violating them are targeting your enemies, it only makes said principles stronger.
