Ah...nothing like tolerance.

My blog was hacked earlier today.  Thanks for proving that rather then dealing with the substance of the debate, it is easier to silence the speaker.  I appreciate the lesson in free speech.

I won't point fingers at any ideological group.  It could have been a conservative as easily as a liberal, though i tend to draw more ire from liberals, so you do the math.

Well, I am back, and I am more determined then ever to expose the hypocrisies I see.

Thanks for renewing my resolve.

No, I obviously do not think this is a serious video.  It is by Zucker for crying out loud.

But it is funny.

I heard about this on the radio, and was fairly disgusted but not surprised.  It has happened too many times and places before.

What I find a bit troubling is that the students were required to attend a politcal campaign rally by Democrats.  That seems to be a problem of its own.

Anyway, here is the story in full, as posted to the Sound Politics Public Blog.

Senator Cantwell/Bellevue Community College Violate My First Amendment Rights

The Michael Steele campaign has taken its cue from the Fox ad and replied with an ad of their own.  The ad is positive in nature and uses the same core concept:  Provide a victim that can speak with moral authority.

As it is in response to a blatant mischaracterization by Cardin, I suppose it is slightly less objectionable.  The ad does not address any aspect of the ethics of SCR, it only speaks to showing that Steele is not, as the Fox ad asserts, a heartless person who does not support finding cures.

Decide for yourself if it is effective or not.  (Hat Tip Sister Toldjah)

While you are at it, take a good look at her site, and read her in depth assessment of Missouri's controversial ammendment 2 with these two posts:

• Proposed Missouri Amendment 2: Pro human cloning?
• Another look at Missouri’s proposed Amendment 2: It’s a fraud

The truth is a powerful weapon and that proposed amendment is not being fairly assessed by the media.
