The Democrats are once again coming out in favor of censorship. This time John Edwards is claiming that Bush could stop ads being run by the independent "527" group Swift Boat Veterans for Truth.

Edwards, a senator from North Carolina, said President Bush could end the dispute if he were to say, "Stop these ads."

What should he do? Intimidate them? Use police power? Then he would be blamed for stifling free speech.

Both Kerry and Bush have filed complaints with the FEC about the ads. Of course, they both have Campaign Finance Reform and themselves to blame.
