I'm really not interested in arguing over nonsense.
It's becoming clear that a large portion of people are going to start agitating for regulation of political messages and that's dangerous at the fundamental level but evidently is becoming increasingly more palatable.
As for what to do now, I'm thinking of organizing a boycott against companies that advertise in proximity to slanderous political advertisements. I don't know how I would get enough people behind it simply on the basis of letting them know about such a boycott, but I suspect Obama has enough supporters that even a portion of them upset at how these ads are coming across would make a boycott effective.
