Just what organization has been "gagged?" Maybe you are unfamiliar with the brilliant success of the Swift boat campaign? For the last two weeks it has had the Kerry campaign running around looking like idiots.

You are not claiming that the Lefties are too smart for us are you? As I said immediately after the bill was signed only Idiots will be silenced by this law. That prediction has been right on the money.

That law will have no impact that would not have occurred in any case. NONE.

According to two organizations I belong to, it's a violation of CFR law for them to mention the voting record of a candidate or anything concerning his or her position on any issue for 60 days before an election. The NRA can't use the media to report whether a candidate voted for or against antigun bills, and Focus on the Family can't air ads revealing a candidate's stand on issues such as abortion, homosexual special privileges, or the preservation of traditional marriage.

Those are just two of probably thousands of similar orgs which are gagged by CFR for all practical purposes. I'm sure there are many, many more that I have no connection with or knowledge of.
