That's so pre-9/11
The Poor Man: Face The Nation 3/5/2000
Gov. Bush: "You know, let me--let me say something to you. People have the right to run ads. They have the right to do what they want to do, under the--under the First Amendment in America."
I'll probably get slammed for hypocrisy, but I agree with Governor George Bush, and strongly disagree with President Bush, who seems to think that political speech by third parties should be outlawed. As for the Swift Boat Liars, they too have the right to run ads. (They don't have the right to slander with claims they know are false, though.) That doesn't mean that they shouldn't be condemned, and that Bush shouldn't stop hiding behind them while claiming to admire Kerry's Vietnam service.
