Dems on FEC move to regulate Internet campaigns, blogs, Drudge



In a surprise move late Friday, a key Democrat on the Federal Election Commission called for burdensome new rules on Internet-based campaigning, prompting the Republican chairman to warn that Democrats want to regulate online political sites and even news media like the Drudge Report.

Democratic FEC Vice Chair Ann M. Ravel announced plans to begin the process to win regulations on Internet-based campaigns and videos, currently free from most of the FEC’s rules. “A reexamination of the commission’s approach to the internet and other emerging technologies is long over due,” she said.

The power play followed a deadlocked 3-3 vote on whether an Ohio anti-President Obama Internet campaign featuring two videos violated FEC rules when it did not report its finances or offer a disclosure on the ads. The ads were placed for free on YouTube and were not paid advertising.

When you can't win on the merits of your arguments, this is the kind of thing you do. Okay, this is the kind of thing mainly Democrats do, but there's a shocker.

"Ravel’s statement suggests that she would regulate right-leaning groups like America Rising that posts anti-Democrat YouTube videos on its website."

People like her never seem to see the logical fallout from this kind of behavior.

How would the obama have gotten elected in the first place if it wasn't for the i-net? Now that the (R) has figured it out, all of the sudden it is bad, no good, illegal. Except when a (D) does it.
