High Court to hear appeal over anti-Clinton movie

WASHINGTON – The Supreme Court will hear an appeal from a conservative group that wanted to promote its anti-Hillary Clinton movie without complying with a landmark campaign finance law.

The justices, in an order Friday, said they will review a lower court ruling that the 90-minute "Hillary: The Movie" was clearly intended to influence people to vote against Clinton in her run for the presidency. The movie was made by Citizens United.

Sheesh, what a waste! Like Hannity and his “Stop Hillary Express”, a lot of short-sighted people were so busy firing missles at the dinghy on the horizon that they completely missed the nuclear submarine that cruised silently past them to take out America.

Fahrenheit 911 is a better example. “W” was shown when Bush was not running any longer. Who made these rules???? Could it have been McCain????

This is un-freaking-believable!!!

The Media brainwashed people to vote for the most innexperienced ‘president’ ever in Obama and UNDULY influenced the election, and Michael Moore’s films and other films tried desperately to influence the previous elections against President Bush, and htey came out right before the elections- when are they going to investigate those scumbags?

"Maybe they could take up Obama's birth certificate case at the same time. I would think that is just as important as making the Hilary movie. "

I think the birth certificate thing would make a great plot for a novel. A foreign-born muslim person catapulted to the highest office in the land of a country that once successfully fought off the premise of his party - communism.

Grissom [nah, he's a lib] or some good fiction writer could make a good novel out of this, with the chosen one being outed in the end for pulling off one of the biggest frauds in American history. All fiction, of course (*wink*wink*).

Thanks Mr. DeLong..... Alan Keyes in California might have a great case against Obama too! As a Presidential candidate, he’s challenging Obama’s citizenship in court. Hopefully, other candidates will join in throughout the country.

If it wasn’t for McCain, we wouldn’t be having this discussion.

That’s not surprising, Dick Morris is dead wrong most of the time.

Man, ain't that the truth. I'm still waiting for someone to ask this gasbag what happened with his prediction that Mrs. Clinton would be running against Condoleeza Rice. I wonder how much FOX News pays this clown.
