But, before he said the above he said this:
"...There ought to be limits to freedom"
--George W. Bush, May 21, 1999
He said this after the FEC refused to take action against a web site that parodied Bush's 2000 presidential campaign web site.
In the complaint filed with the FEC, Bush's lawyers accused the webmaster of violating election laws because the web site was behaving like a political campaign committee without following the necessary regulations. They said that since the web site was urging voters not to vote for Bush, the site's owner should be required to file as a PAC and disclose his funding sources.
Bush's campaign also threatened the site's owner with a copyright violation lawsuit for lifting photographs from Bush's official campaign site and modifying them, then posting them on his own parody web site.

And most here would agree with him.
Not because he's right.
But because he's got an R on his team-jersey.
