hmmm... moveon.org needs to be checked out ...Lamont vs Lieberman... their guy was Lamont
Yes.
And I should be elected King of the FEC.
And then they shall all bow, and kiss my ring.
It's good to be the King.
I suspect they were supporters of CRF
I suspect they would be screeching for punishment and obedience to the letter of the law if the complaint had been filed against a conservative
But despite all that I stand with DK in demanding the complaint be ignored/withdrawn/dismissed.
Ah, the midget at dailykos find the ‘real world’ at last....(chuckle)
Be fine with me if Daily Kos is busted: irk enough of those screaming half-wits, and maybe we could get McCain-Feingold thrown out, reversed, or just plain written off the books.
Who do you think Russ Feingold is more in tune with, us or the Kos-mics??

DailyKos should be vilified because it is a hate-mongering, Jew-baiting, America-bashing cesspool which frequently has posters calling for people they don’t agree with to be murdered. But it is all free speech, and therefore the Feds need to keep their paws off.
There should only be one election rule, full discloser of support. If i know who is supporting a canidate i can make my own judgements on the reasons they may support that canidate.
People here often don’t understand how I can see any good in the ACLU - after all they are a major force for suppression of religious rights.
But they do take some tough, thankless and important cases.
Like free speech for vile people or the right to assemble for neo-nazis or protections against police brutality in world where people want crime stopped.
And this is one of those cases. If they can shut down the offensive anti-American web sites on the grounds they won’t stop there. So while I’m sure it pains them to do so, I bet the majority of Freepers see the need to protect rights of even the Daily KOS.
HELL NO!!!! Leave the left wingers AND the right wingers alone!
The Kos is paid to favor certain candidates so they are not exactly innocent.
The thing to me, is does one support the enforcement of laws?
If not, fine, but be clear, that gives anyone the right to ignore the law of their choosing.
If one supports the enforcent of Laws, like immigration etc, then why not the Laws relating to political campaigning. To say it should not apply beacause it might conceivably be applied to FR is wrong.
The DU board rules state:
“Who We Are: Democratic Underground is an online community for Democrats and other progressives. Members are expected to be generally supportive of progressive ideals, and to support Democratic candidates for political office. Democratic Underground is not affiliated with the Democratic Party, and comments posted here are not representative of the Democratic Party or its candidates.”
Clearly they are an organisation that supports the Democratic Party candidates for political office.
Bad idea for any political site to be subject to the FEC because it will get every political site before they are through and bet you can take that to the bank.
I don’t like KOS but they have a right to exist. I have posted fundraising links on here in the past for people to follow the link. Guess someone lamebrain could consider that breaking the FEC rules.
