Political ad or free speech? Anti-Hillary film gets court screening
Trailer for "Hillary: The Movie"

By Michael Doyle | McClatchy Newspapers

WASHINGTON — Supreme Court justices on Tuesday gave decidedly mixed reviews to efforts to regulate "Hillary: The Movie," as they considered a case that will shape future election campaigns.

Everyone agrees the 90-minute film is vehemently anti-Hillary Clinton. The justices disagree on whether it's tantamount to a political ad that can be regulated, or a documentary that enjoys full free-speech protection.

"I saw it," Justice Stephen Breyer said. "It's not a musical comedy."

1. And the same 20% who supported Bush are the target audience.

A small handful of them will actually see it and then it will dissapear.

A fraction of the same idiots who saw that American Carol movie.
