FEC corruption at it's best.

Well done comrades! Mao, Stalin, Hitler, Castro and Che all agree with your methods!




Dems on FEC target conservatives, vote to punish maker of anti-Obama movie
By Paul Bedard
·Published April 07, 2016

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.

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."

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.

Freedom of speech...
...how cute. Speech must be changed.

Another instance of Fed legalized "thought police." (Along with Zentral Kommittee of state AG's lusting for the blood of climate-change deniers.)

Happy Friday; always fun tallying up the ammo...
