Just sayin'...
Why do you discount it just because it is an "opinion". He DID engage in demagoguery and the guy writing the piece saying so is correct.

Corporations are an assembly of people, a group of people. People do not give up free speech simply because it is voiced with others.

When is a corporation not?

Sometimes it is only one individual spreading his tax responsibility around.
And liability, so what? It is STILL a person.

However you cut it this ruling gives too much power (as in more) to certain individuals over others.
OK then let's prohibit PETA from running ads, it gives too much power to them.

Do you agree it is wrong to buy an election?
Yes you cannot go door to door paying for votes with cash.

Do you agree it is wrong to stifle free speech?

Cut to the chase here, that is what we are talking about. I say it is wrong for any individual or entity to buy an election, to buy a politician.
Yep Quid Pro Quo's are prohibited just like vote buying.

Of course which party brags about going around and handing out pocket money?

Do you think it is wrong for a politician to buy votes by offering government money in return for the vote?

Opinion has been part of the news, especially political news forever. What do you think editorials are, works of fiction?

You're either not paying attention or you just like being a horse's butt.

Or maybe both!
