But, tangentially related, here’s a story
http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&cid=493&ncid=762&e=1&u=/ap/20040624/apenmo/filmfahrenheit911
in which some conservative group apparently wants to block Mr. Moore from
advertising his movie at certain time periods because to do so violates
campaign finance laws.
Talk about reaching!

I think they have a case. How would a commercial promoting a movie that
criticizes a political candidate differ in kind from a commercial criticizing a
political candidate paid for by a political opponent? And besides, the group is
only protesting any advertising after July 31st. Further, isn’t the DNC
buying millions of dollars worth of this movie to use/give away/whatever as a
tool to reelect Kerry? Talking about reaching:
“I have not publicly endorsed John Kerry. I am an independent, I am not a member
of the Democratic Party.” Okaaay, whatever, MM. The guy is so disingenuous it
is beyond belief.
Seems to me that this is another example of how Democrats love to regulate, but
don’t feel those very rules they create don’t apply to them. Look at the
completely foundationless appeal of MM to the MPAA on his film’s “R” rating.
The case is so clear cut, but somehow MM should be exempt. Contemptible.
Typical.
