At least once a day I see Mike Huckabee in a commercial where he lies about the ACE.

How many OWS commercials have you seen?

I thought that's what this thread was about. Those with the most power and money get to speak the most, get their free speech heard the most.

Coverage?

I'm talking about a political ad. I though that's what this thread was about, the elites, people with money having more of a voice in our society.

The Koch Bros. are spending $400 Millions to buy an election.
 
It used to be that "the pen is mightier than the sword". Translation: the public relations budget is mightier than the sword. If you have money to repeat what you say enough times, then everyone will believe in it. Free speech is the easiest way to control the public. And ... at the end of every war, the winner is decided by who sold his propaganda to the highest number of people. So, freedom of speech is vital to every administration, I think.
