"They then fashioned a political strategy similar to the one employed by activists behind the *political speech restrictions* of the 2002 McCain-Feingold campaign-finance reform bill." Ah, bipartisan cooperation. Gotta love it. Or is that "Bye, partisan." The Uniparty wants to control the horizontal, and the vertical, everything you see and hear. Your available political information choices will run the gamut from A to B, ultra-left to super-left. Conservatism in the few media that still are will be "hate speech." Al Sharpton is already all over that. Emperor Chavez of Venezuela has accomplished it. I have to wonder how the newspaper, cable and Internet giant I used to work for is taking the news. They wouldn't listen, not to me or thousands of FORMER customers.
Al Sharpton calls on the FCC to yank broadcast licenses for "implicit" racism, sexism or homophobia. Not what you SAY, but what you IMPLY. Or what listeners INFER from what they THINK you IMPLIED. I've had people get angry at me for AGREEING WITH THEM. I had mirrored, repeating their idea back to them in my own words, a validation technique useful in making the other person feel comfortable in conversation. They told me "Wait, you're wrong." Then they said something that contradicted the first thing. When I politely agreed with THAT, the subject being inconsequential to me and me being a stranger after all, they told me "But you don't understand..." They had me thinking I was the crazy one, when they were sadists. Imagine a government agency behaving that way. Oh, you don't have to.
