This is exactly the issue. For those who knew more of the back story, it wasn't about free speech it was about corporations funding hate groups. If CFA had REALLY wanted to get ahead of this they would have aggressively come out on the right side of this issue. Instead they chose to let Fox News have a heyday about the left wing media being against freedom of speech when they don't agree, which had NOTHING to do with it.
Now that they've used up all their good will with the hard right, they're trying to come around and get people like me back. And I will not so easily be swayed. And I really do put my money where my mouth is. The good news for me is it is a lot of fat and calories best avoided.
