Courts Move To Silence Anti-Hillary Flick
by Jeff Davis
Anyone who questions whether or not it really is “Hillary’s turn” to be president should find food for thought in the subservient behavior of a federal court in suppressing a film critical of her past and her policies, and subjecting those who made and financed that movie to potential Clinton retaliation.
The Associated Press reports: “Three federal judges appeared in agreement Wednesday that a movie lambasting Hillary Clinton seemed an awful lot like a 90-minute campaign advertisement. Citizens United, a conservative advocacy group, is challenging the nation’s campaign finance laws, which require disclaimers on political advertisements and restrict when they can be broadcast. The group argues Hillary: The Movie and related television advertisements are not political advertising even though the New York senator is in the presidential race. Attorney James Bopp argued that they should be considered ‘issue- oriented’ speech because viewers aren’t urged to vote for or against the Democrat.”
He was ignored, of course. It’s a sign of the time; that old liberal double standard from the 1990s is coming back already even before Mommy Dearest plunks her Prada-clad butt down in the Oval Office.
The AP article notes “Under campaign finance laws, Citizens United would be required to disclose its funding for the ads. It would also have to disclose donors and pay the costs of airing it on cable television from a political fund.”
Thus exposing those donors to retaliation when Hillary once she assumes office in January of 2009. Imagine having your last ten years of tax returns audited with a “fine tooth comb.” The Clintons’ first eight years in the White House were distinguished by several blatant attempt to defund and silence their critics, including the notorious “Fairness” Doctrine also known as the Hush Rush bill aimed at silencing criticism of the Clintons on talk radio.
The upshot of the court decision is that the liberals can make all the 60 Minutes style political propaganda they want and not be subject to government supervision, but mention one mildly critical word about Mommy Dearest and the Iron Heel comes down. Anyone critical of the Clintons must turn over the names and addresses of their supporters to the very government they are criticizing, and henceforth be subject to harrassment, covert surveillance, IRS audits and all the other Clinton bag of tricks.
If the Clintons have enough power to nobble a federal court like this before they’re even elected, just wait until January.
