A better example would have been the teachers unions saturating the airwaves with pictures of handicapped children being left out in the cold if targeted vouchers were passed. While individual voters who support targeted, have to raise the money themselves.

I would like to see the reaction of the newspaper-press, if McCain/Feingold limited their written opinions of a candidate during the last two months. Or put a cap on advertisements in the newspaper. The free speech crowd would have a fit then. After all, what really is the difference between written words being considered free speech, and visual images on a television. Both have impact, and both are designed to get a point across in order to change a voters mind.

McCain/Fiengold does nothing but empower "big media" into being the only voice during the last few months of an election process. They can say anything they want on talking head shows, but the candidates have NO right to respond or refute their claims. The candidates free speech is therefore rescinded.
