Propaganda from the Right

On September 9th, the US Supreme Court is going to hear Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission. Citizens United is a conservative propaganda. Here are a few titles:

Intelligence Failure: How Bill Clinton's National Security Policy Set the Stage for 9/11.
Prince Albert: The Life and lies of Al Gore.
ACLU: At War with America
Rediscovering God in America (with Newt Gingrich)
Ronald Reagan: Rendezvous with Destiny
Hillary: The Movie

The last title, "Hillary: The Movie" was produced to be released in 2008 prior to the democratic primaries. However, the Federal Election Commission blocked its release under campaign finance laws. Citizens United claim its a documentary. The FEC said it was electioneering. The FEC was backed by the US Distric Court in spring of 2008 and the film was not released until after the election. Here's the CNN analysis.

The IMDB entry has Hillary Rodham Clinton in the cast as far as archive footage. The rest of the cast is:

Michael Barone
Bay Buchanan
Ann Coulter
Frank Gaffney
Newt Gingrich
Larry Kudlow
Michael Medved
Dick Morris
Robert D. Novak
Kate O'Beirne
R. Emmett Tyrrell
Kathleen Willey

Any of these sound familiar? I've been following Coulter and Gingrich for a couple of years now and observed many, many lies, half-truths, spin, and complete and utter fabrications. That they are prominent here indicates this is another conservative hatchet job.

What SCOTUS has to decide is if there is any difference between a 120 minute and a 30 second political commercial and whether it makes a difference if the listener pays for the propaganda or if it's spoon fed. I don't see a difference but the court has Ailito, Thomas and Scalia. No doubt they will decide that propaganda for the right is better than no propaganda at all. Their interpretation of the law seems extremely slanted.

Facts do not sway them in the pursuit of a conservative truth.
