TONIGHT AT 9 - “A CONVERSATION WITH ANDREA AND …


Veteran anti-Clinton activist David N. Bossie has put out a web-based video trailer for his current work in progress, “Hillary, The Movie” a documentary that “aims to expose the truth about her conflicts in the past and her liberal plot for the future” that leads with footage of Obama criticizing the former First Lady.

The clip of Obama shows him criticizing Clinton for “claiming basically the entire eight years of the Clinton presidency as her own, except for the stuff that didn’t work out, in which case she is saying she had nothing to do with it.”

The trailer continues with a compilation of harsh comments about the former First Lady by Tony Blankley, Newt Gingrich, Ann Coulter, Robert Novak and Dick Morris. Morris, who was hired by Bill Clinton as a political consultant several times in the 1980s and 1990s, but who was fired in the 1996 campaign, is the harshest of the group: “She will make up any story, will lie about anything, as long it serves her purpose at the moment. And the American people are going to catch on to it.”

As it prepares to release its hard-hitting political documentary, Hillary: The Movie, Citizens United, a grassroots advocacy organization, led by election law attorney James Bopp, Jr., last week filed suit against the Federal Election Commission, arguing that issue-oriented television ads are protected by the First Amendment and should not be subject to disclosure requirements under McCain-Feingold campaign finance law.

At issue are sections of the 2002 Bipartisan Campaign Reform Act (“McCain-Feingold”) that imposed a blackout period before elections on television advertisements that mentioned the name of a federal candidate — “electioneering communications.”

Bopp joins us on tonight’s internet webcast program to discuss Citizens United’s court challenge that argues the ads for the film Hillary: The Movie are commercial ads, exempted in recent FEC rulemaking, and that disclosure requirements cannot be applied to such ads consistent with the First Amendment.
