I will not obey any FEC regulations that restrict my freedom of speech!

The gub’mint better start treading lightly. Too many people are getting more than irritated with the insidious tentacles of gub’mint regulation and restriction.

Don’t you send those tentacles into MY life: you’ll bloody well draw back a nub!

My Master.

Seriously Rick, Kevin, Jay, Diamond, all: What astonishes me is that, even with Rathergate/Memogate, Blairgate, Glassgate, Korangate, Dateline NBC’s Gastankgate in 1992-93 — and how ever many more -gates yet to be discovered or perpetrated — the mainstreem ‘press’ still receives respect through that moniker as a matter of government policy and law.

The irony boggles.

This whole topic points out the inanity of campaign finance “reform.” While I understand they are trying to keep politicians from operating as fake independent bloggers, the whole notion of bridling political speech is anathema to any red-blooded American.

Moreover the idea is risibly unenforceable. There are thousands of new blogs springing up every day, and many of them are domiciled overseas. Ed Morrissey has already shown the folly of attempting to inhibit the freedom of the press across borders.

Although I certainly don’t agree with him on every issue, I happen to admire Senator McCain very much. He is one of the very, very few members of Congress from either side who seem capable of making their own decisions without having to check with the party leadership first. That’s what I look for in a politician. Should my ballot ever list the RNC and DNC as candidates, then I will begin to respect the rest of the herd. Until then, I’ll reserve my respect for those honest and courageous enough to be their own person. McCain is one such politician IMHO.

Well… I’m not so sure that there aren’t a lot of Americans too ignorant to not be swayed by dishonest claims. Some of Jay’s readers would seem to be a classic example. But, the gullibility of a few or a lot of Americans is irrelevant to our freedom of speech, as you know. So, it’s an insipid premise that the Campaign Legal Center is starting from.

BTW, it’s worth pointing out that just because there are ex-McCain staffers involved doesn’t imply approval by McCain. Some of his former campaign workers came out and openly criticized him last summer when he was stumping for Bush.

I know, I know… you didn’t imply that McCain approves of this. I’m just throwing that out because I know darn well that some will make that leap without thinking.

In answer to your question, here’s one powerful group, the Campaign Legal Center which is run by former counsel for McCain:

http://www.campaignlegalcenter.org/press-1554.html

They represent a mindset that says political speech should be regulated because the American people are too stupid to not be swayed by dishonest claims made by non-journalists.

They are reprehensible creatures who deserve to be boiled in oil.
