CENSORED! Hillary: The Movie
p2pnet news view Politics | Freedom:- You haven’t seen Hillary: The Movie.
That’s because when a special three-judge panel “considered the scathingly critical” documentary, they, “deemed it a campaign ad with the unmistakable message that people should vote against then-presidential candidate Hillary Rodham Clinton because she ‘is unfit for office’,” says USA Today.
Activist group Citizens United had planned on airing Hillary on cable television and on-demand video while she was seeking the Democratic Party nomination for president, says United Press International.
“But the Federal Election Commission ruled it was an electioneering ad and therefore banned from being aired within 30 days of a vote,” it says.
Now, “The high court will consider whether ‘Hillary: The Movie’ amounted to a documentary film, which is an example of unfettered free speech, or a political ad that is subject to the limits of campaign-finance laws,” says UPI.
USA Today has Citizens United chairman David Bossie saying he was inspired by Michael Moore’s 2004 documentary Fahrenheit 9/11.
“Citizens United, a non-profit advocacy group that has produced other movies on causes such as illegal immigration, is represented by former solicitor general Theodore Olson, a onetime vocal Clinton critic himself,” it says, adding:
“Olson is taking a dual approach before the court: arguing that Hillary: The Movie was not a campaign ad to get viewers to vote against Clinton in the Democratic primaries but rather a recounting of events of her time as U.S. senator and first lady, and arguing that the court should rule certain limits on corporate spending barred by the First Amendment.”

Anyone making something like that any time near elections should just post it on youtube with a download link. Even if some judge bans it, it won’t work as it will just get reposted by someone else, the more publicity the more it gets reposted on the net.
