Give this a look-see as indictment of McCain-Feingold, which muzzles free speech about candidates, except what you can persuade media writers and editors to say, from Labor Day to the November election. It’s more proof that liberalism ain’t liberal; it’s statist.

An interesting commnet, Jim. Reporters, editorial writers and columnists can say what they want right up to the election. In other words, filtered political speech is all right. But unfiltered speech, by the candidates, is not. You’d think that this muzzling of unfiltered speech would have drawn more protest, especially from the defenders of unfiltered speech on the Interent.
