  • Agreed. I feel she tried to do the right thing but didn’t. I hope she learns and I don’t really have animosity towards her. People make mistakes. And admitting you’re wrong is a huge thing our society doesn’t value like it should.

    Meanwhile Bill Maher tried to do the wrong thing and managed to successfully do the wrong thing, but for the wrong reasons. So… task failed successfully? I have zero expectations for him and yet he always manages to be a disappointment.

    Responsible limits on campaign contributions are not remotely at odds with thinking money can be used on speech.

    Writing a book is undeniably free speech. So why would it not be free speech if you pay out of pocket and self-publish? What if a group of people get together and pay to publish it as a collective?

    Or how about Chevron running an ad saying “buy our gas.” What if the ad says “buy our gas because global warming isn’t real?” What if the ad says “vote for Eric Erickson, a staunch global warming denier?”

    All are money, all are free speech, but not all are political speech. We don’t need corporations or billionaires throwing unlimited money at political speech.
