Response to Original message |
| 20. How come I remember reading on here |
|
a few months ago, that it would be illegal for TV to even run any commercials for Michael Moore's film during this period because it would violate some campaign law, and yet this is legal???????
Is there anyone here who remembers what I'm talking about? Do you know what the specific laws were that an F9/11 ad would be violating, but this apparently doesn't?
