Stolen Honor
For some reason liberals think it is not an abuse of boradcast liscenses or of campaign finance laws to show anti-Bush stories or pro-Kerry stories on TV, but it is an abuse to show anti-Kerry stories. I agree with Frum that the McCain-Feingold law was a terrible blow to the free speach of ordinary americans and that the only people who benefited from the law are media organizations who were left free to say whatever they want about political candidates.
It is also scary how quickly Democrats use the law to stiffle critics. First threatening TV stations who show the Swift Boat Veterans commercials with lawsuits and now threatening stations who dare to criticize Kerry. Specifically the film titled Stolen Honor: Wounds That Never Heal interviews POWs who, while still POWs claim that that 'Kerrys testimony - filled with lurid fantasies of butchery in Vietnam on the part of U.S. troops - demeaned them and led their captors to hold them longer.' I certainly think news organizations have the right to talk about issues like this. Apparently the Democrats do not.
