The URL below links to what is fast becoming a very popular card on annoy.com. Were it not for Fox News, Page Three of the Sun or the New York Post, News Corp might have a more legitimate complaint. Warning. It's not particularly pretty! http://annoy.com/scripts/censure/thumb.asp?nail=346 Clinton ********* From: "Trei, Peter" <ptreiat_private> To: "'declanat_private'" <declanat_private> Subject: RE: Ebay yanks Gary-Condit-with-axe art at congressman's request Date: Thu, 26 Jul 2001 13:04:04 -0400 > ---------- > From: Declan McCullagh[SMTP:declanat_private] > http://www.latimes.com/business/printedition/la-000060870jul26.story?coll > > EBay Pulls Art Item at Request of Condit Internet: > Congressman's office says his intellectual property rights > were violated in collage about intern's disappearance. > [...] > "We were contacted by a representative from the > congressman's office in Washington. . . .

Things are worse than I thought - I guess attack ads cannot any longer feature the name of the politicians they attack, nor their images or utterances. I can't see any way that the described painting cannot be considered protected speech.

(It's also worth noting that the same Naderites who demand increased privacy laws ALSO want increased public access to political spending records, to the point of virtually banning all anonymous political speech. This contradiction never seems to register with them. (Which shocks me not at all, since contradiction is the only constant of the radical left -- who else could proclaim to be 'anti-globalist' and in favor of national self-determination, and yet condemn the US for not joining the Kyoto protocols? The US's refusal to place global interests ahead of national self-interest seems to be the essence of the anti-globalist philosophy, yet, they condemn us for it!
