Rathergate Related Complaint Against Kerry, CBS Dismissed
July 21st, 2005

The claim by the Center for Individual Freedom that the Kerry Campaign was involved in Rathergate has been thrown out by the FEC.

Election officials have thrown out a complaint against John Kerry’s presidential campaign and CBS over a now-discredited story that questioned President Bush’s National Guard service.

The Federal Election Commission, in a 6-0 ruling, said there was no reason to believe the allegations raised by the Center for Individual Freedom over the story that aired on CBS’ “60 Minutes Wednesday” in September.

The decision disclosed this week was apparently reached unanimously due to press exemption protection.

1. I love how these groups with "Freedom" in their names

would like nothing better then to encourage banning the freedom of those they don't agree with...

4. The groups with "Family" in their names are suspicious, too.

The only want one kind of family, and they want to ban anything that does not fit their narrow definition.

6. There's another one that's been advertising here lately

Judicial Watch. They make it sound like they're watchdogging government, but they only mean LIBERAL government.
