I heard the same lying crap on the radio. They are shameless b*st*rds.

The WH response should be "We support the 1st amendment.Period."

But they don't, else Bush would have vetoed "Campaign Finance Reform".

I like the Swift Boater's response on Hannity and Colmes tonight. The head of the group said to the effect, "When the President denounces it, we'll keep running the ad".

The left hasn't denounced anyone on their side, and they won't, given that McClellan threw that ball into their court. BTW, it was a pretty good ad, sounded like it was pretty inexpensive, something like under $200 thousand to make, and I hope more ads like this follows in the days and months ahead.

The left needs to face up to the fact they were the ones who called on CFR (they broke the rules shortly after it passed) and all these 527 groups out there, because of some lame excuse that "they couldn't compete otherwise".

[BigSkyFreeper]

Apparently the left doesn't like their brainchild CFR either, gauging from their response to this ad. Yet, the left was the first to break the CFR rules almost from the time Bush signed it into law.

[secretagent]

Here's to widespread ingnoring of CFR.

[secretagent]

ingnoring = ignoring

I agree....when I first heard about all this, (was working and out of the loop all day) I thought everyone was dumping on the Swifties, eeven Brit.....

But when you look at the real words, I say, AOK....GWB can't embrace them, but he didn't hurt them in any way, and neither did Brit.

[Grampa Dave]

Actually. ABCNNBC BS is one big stealth 527 for the Rats.
