Even Michael Moore has a right to Free Speech

I read today: "Michael Moore may be prevented from advertising his controversial new movie, “Fahrenheit 9/11,” on television or radio after July 30 if the Federal Election Commission (FEC) today accepts the legal advice of its general counsel."

I have absolutely no use for Michael Moore and wish he'd just go away. However, as much as I cannot stand him or his anti-American trash, his right to free speech must be protected. That there is an election coming up is irrelevant. Actually that's not right, it is even more crucial in the context of elections that free speech be protected! If Bush should lose the next election, I do not believe it will be due to Michael Moore's rantings, but if it is, that's fair and proper too.
