Keep Your Mouths Shut – The FEC Is Watching
From Coyote Blog, lamenting McCain-Feingold:
In a stunning beat down on one of America’s longest-held and most sacred principles, your first ammendment rights to criticize incumbent politicians, at least on radio and TV, are suspended from now until the November 7 election. Congress has decided, and incredibly the Supreme Court has concurred, that only members of the media, including intellectual giants like Bill O’Reilly and Keith Olbermann, can legally criticize sitting politicians on TV and radio in the runup to the election. These restrictions also came very, very close to applying to this and all other blogs. John McCain, Russ Feingold, and everyone who voted for this un-American incumbent protection act need to be voted out of office at our next opportunity.
Watch what you say over the next couple months, folks. You never can be too sure who’s listening.
Actually, screw that. Say whatever you want. The last thing we want to do is obey.
