When Rep. Chris Van Hollen (D-MD) held a meeting with constituents last Friday the meeting was civil. Given the leftward leanings of Van Hollen’s district that should be expected. One question posed by a bastion of the government class:
when medical industry lobbyists might be banned from trying to sink reform
Van Hollen diplomatically responded that there was a little thing called “free speech”:
"There are constitutional issues here," he said. "You can’t say people can’t advertise on TV."
Oh yes you can, at least if you are a statist like Van Hollen, Barack Obama, or their pal Frank Kratovil. Why did the networks refuse to run the commercial below? There certainly aren’t any fighting words in those 30 seconds. You might want to argue over the facts (I think they’re spot on), but isn’t that what a civil debate is about?
Free speech exists. If you adhere to the left wing orthodoxy of people like Chris Van Hollen. if not, expect to be attacked … or silenced.

Maryland 1st District congressional candidate Frank Kratovil has been crowing about his campaign’s designation as a DCCC-targeted race. His buddy, DCCC chair Chris Van Hollen is promising to pour all kinds of special interest money into Kratovil’s race.
We shouldn’t be surprised that Van Hollen is capable of funneling cash into Kratovil’s campaign coffers. Van Hollen is one of the TOP 3 PORKERS in the US House, according to Citizens Against Government Waste.
Kratovil, who claims to reflect “Eastern Shore values” and attacks his conservative opponent, Maryland Sen. Andy Harris (R-7) for taking small dollar contributions bundled by the low-tax, pro-growth Club for Growth, is starting to show First District voters what he’s really about.
IF “Eastern Shore values” include high taxes, begging money from special interest lobbies that want to harm our economy, higher government spending and creeping socialism – all values personified by Kratovil’s new best friend Van Hollen – then perhaps Kratovil really does reflect the values of Maryland’s First District.
