http://www.washtimes.com/national/20...2938-2829r.htmLarry Noble, executive director of the nonpartisan Center for Responsive Politics, agreed with the Bush campaign that ads by both MoveOn.org and Media Fund are illegal.
"These groups have stated that their purpose is to defeat President Bush," he said. "As political committees, they are required to abide by the contribution limits and prohibitions in terms of the money that they take in."
That would mean 527s could accept only small, tightly regulated "hard money" contributions. Instead, they are taking unlimited "soft money" gifts from Mr. Soros and other wealthy individuals.
I knew, that when they passed the McCain-Feingold campaign finance law, the
free speech rights of private citizens would be endangered.
It's ironic that it is the liberals who are now being accused of this first
major violation of McCain-Feingold, since they were the loudest advocates
of "campaign finance reform". I have no love for George Soros, but
he should have a right to publish his opinions, otherwise no one
has freedom of speech or press any more.
