Good day all. This is almost a standing headline these days. In this case, it was the three Democrat members of the Federal Election Commission who decided that any conservative speech must be suppressed.
The FEC is split between three Democrat and three Republican members. The Democrats on the commission have been living up to their designation as Progressive Liberal Fascist Democrats, in this case trying to suppress an anti-Obama film. Here are the details from the Washington Examiner:
The three Democrats on the Federal Election Commission, in their latest and boldest move to regulate conservative media, voted in unison to punish a movie maker critical of President Obama after he distributed for free his latest work, Dreams of My Real Father: A Story of Reds and Deception.
Filmmaker Joel Gilbert, owner of Highway 61 films, has produced several independent politically-themed movies and sent Dreams out to millions of voters in key swing states prior to the 2012 election.
2012? And they are trying to do this now, when Der Fubar’s term is almost up?
While he acted on his own, and with no ties to political groups or parties, an FEC complaint was filed claiming he violated reporting rules, prompting him to seek the standard media “exemption.”
First of all, why would anyone need to get an “Exemption?” Why should anyone, from either side of the political spectrum require permission from some bureaucrat to exercise his or her Constitutional rights? Doesn’t that bring up the problems of censorship and favoritism? Apparently so.
But despite giving the same exemption to liberal movie makers like Michael Moore and Daily Kos, the Democrats recently voted against Gilbert in a February action, reviving their bid to punish conservative media, a campaign initially targeting online news outlets like the Drudge Report.
Scratch a Liberal Democrat and get a closet totalitarian. (Nazi, Communist, what’s the difference?) It looks like they want to turn the Federal Election Commission, which should ONLY be making sure that elections are fair and honest, into the new “Ministry of Truth.” The good news is that the FEC is intentionally split between Republican and Totalitarian Democrat, so the tie vote ended the attempts to suppress Gilbert’s movie.
Lucky for Gilbert, the three Republicans on the FEC also united to vote to give him the exemption. The tie vote blocked any action, and was followed by a unanimous 6-0 vote to close the file. Had he lost, Gilbert would have been required to report who helped fund the anti-Obama movie.
I have a feeling that Gilbert would have taken this right to the supreme court. Those totalitarian thugs on the FEC have been trying to shut down any dissenting speech for a while now.
The latest Democratic move on conservatives comes as some Democrats in Congress, and liberal publications, are pushing to end the even split between Democrats and Republicans on the FEC, a move conservatives have warned would lead to punishing new rules on right-leaning media and candidates.
Republican Commissioner Lee E. Goodman has been warning about the assault on conservative media for three years and said the vote on Gilbert showed that the Democrats are still focused on right-leaning media.
“Freedom of the press isn’t so free when three government commissars vote to punish a filmmaker for distributing a documentary film,” he told Secrets.
“Conservative documentary films have faced tough sledding at the FEC, no matter how the films are distributed,” Goodman said, adding, “It’s chilling.”
That is the intent of course. The PLFD’s goal is to move the United States from a Constitutional Republic to a single party state and have been working on it for a century. As far as I’m concerned, the Federal Election Commission needs to be either disbanded or seriously restricted and overhauled. The Progressive Liberals know that the majority of people do not subscribe to their idiocies, and they will do anything to impose their views, and suppress other views, up to and including outright suppression of the 1st Amendment.
