   “standards of libel, invasion of privacy, obscenity and clearness of opinion from facts. And also from the standpoint of political rhetoric in an advertisement as opposed to news or commentary”
   Let me help Steve with that: it wasn’t libelous, didn’t invade anyone’s privacy, wasn’t obscene, was reasonably clear, and it was private, sponsored political speech that was clearly not originated by The Union.
   So they ran the ad.
   However, that pissed off the loudmouthed Steves and Jeffies of the world, so they’re going to have a few beers and think about any other standards they might (or might not) want to apply in the future and he wrote a non-apology apology to soothe ruffled feathers. Maybe they’ll have it figured out before the next time Pinney wants to give them money,

   Best post of yours in weeks. Yes, it is exactly the same issue that caused the Western Gateway Park uproar from the exact same confused ones. Even Fatso came over here and stayed the whole day. The whole day and we just could not see things the way he wanted (demanded) us to see and behave.
   He was trying to make some point by walking in circles and, per usual, hid behind his son. Sure, Fatso, you were really disc golfing out in the oaks and could see yonder some Tea Party locals allowed to assemble! He had to hide his boy’s eyes. Oh, the horror, the horror. Sure, like that really happened, ROFLMFUEO.
   Tea Party rents space for a get together, or was it a State Of Jefferson day in the park? Whoever they were, they should not be allowed to rent a space. Or should have given equal timing to his totalitarian side, or whatever excuse he pulled out of his bag of monkey snot to justify his indefensible stance. What will his son think? Better review the community standards.
   He used the same arguments in a vain attempt to get the Bonnaza market to remove those signs promoting non local Kangaroo Jersey. “It’s not local” was the excuse to say he did not want to look at the market’s window ad. Bottomline, he just does not want to see a sign about Deer Jerky, not want to see an ad in the local fishwrapper, and certainly does not to see Deplorables renting space in a park 20 miles from his local low life infested neighborhood.
   Tyranny. Tyranny. Progress is a one unidirectional, eh? Yes, we know, we know. You will deal with their kind later, yawn.
   Fish, you nailed that one. Fatso is a walking talking Constitutional Crisis.

    Here’s the reality about the Bush Iran Contra pardons. Important because it, along with the Nixon pardon shows how the pubbers are perfectly willing to use pardons to save their own. Obama would be completely justified historically to pardon Hillary if bast on historical precedence.
    “Bush issued the pardons of Clarridge and Weinberger preemptively, a move reminiscent of President Gerald Ford’s pardon of his predecessor, Richard Nixon, following the Watergate scandal. According to the Independent Counsel, the pardon of an official as high-ranking as Weinberger, whose trial was scheduled to begin on January 5, 1993, raised questions as to what Bush might have hoped to conceal. Walsh had intended to call Bush as a witness in the trial, although Weinberger denied that any of his notes from meetings dealing with Iran-Contra contradicted past statements by Bush and former President Ronald Reagan.
    https://www.brown.edu/Research/Understanding_the_Iran_Contra_Affair/thepardons.php
    In defense of these six pardons, Bush stated, “[The] common denominator of their motivation—whether their actions were right or wrong—was patriotism.” He criticized the years-long investigation run by Walsh as reflective of “what I believe is a profoundly troubling development in the political and legal climate of our country: the criminalization of policy differences.”
    Walsh released a response saying, in part, “[The] pardon of Caspar Weinberger and other Iran-contra defendants undermines the principle that no man is above the law. It demonstrates that powerful people with powerful allies can commit serious crimes in high office—deliberately abusing the public trust without consequence. Weinberger, who faced four felony charges, deserved to be tried by a jury of citizens.” He concluded, “The Iran-contra cover-up, which has continued for more than six years, has now been completed with the pardon of Caspar Weinberger.”

    There’s no argument that the Bush I pardons were political… so was the Walsh-delivered indictment despite the statute of limitations being expired.
    I’d see one BIG difference between then and now… the Iran-Contra people weren’t illegally clawing their way to self-aggrandizing power and money.

    Paul, the RCP average is just that, an average over time. Colorado is high for their average only because the polls had been goosed with bad news for trump followed by polls that tended to be jiggered to show what was to be shown that are now crashing.
    The latest Colorado poll shows 1% in favor of Clinton, and the USC poll has since shown a nice 2% jump overall for Trump. Before that bad news cycle for Trump, he was actually ahead by the RCP Colorado poll number.

    Another pathetic post from Boardman.
    “Both are Democrats” – Wow! So a Trump conservative doesn’t vote for either one.
    “Both are women” and “neither is white”.
    In the first place, since both are liberal Dems and a Trump conservative wouldn’t be voting for them anyway, why does their sex and skin color have one single thing to do with it?
    Furthermore – Trump conservatives are quite happy to vote for male and female conservatives of all skin colors and ethnic backgrounds.
    “What’s a Trump conservative to do?”
    Well, since Prop 14 seems to prohibit write-ins in the general election, a Trump conservative would simply not vote for anyone for the open US Senate seat.

    Looks like Todds favorite pollster Dean “unskewed” Chambers is predicting Hillary, What a hoot.
    “Dean Chambers, who made a name for himself “unskewing” the polls in 2012 to give Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney more favorable results, has come to view political polling with a bit less suspicion and believes that Hillary Clinton is the favorite to win the White House.
    “I would look at the RealClearPolitics no tossups map, they’re saying 273 [electoral votes] for Hillary,” Chambers, who founded the now defunct UnSkewPolls.com, told The Huffington Post in an interview. “My best guess is that’s probably pretty close.” In that scenario, predicted by RealClearPolitics’ polling aggregator, Clinton ekes out a narrow win by carrying Colorado, Wisconsin, Michigan, Virginia and New Hampshire.
    “I think we can all agree that the polls are getting much closer and if that trend continues it could be very close on Election Day,” Chambers said, though added that Clinton’s advantage over Republican nominee Donald Trump in early voting will likely provide her an edge.
    “I hear some Trump supporters saying that Trump is going to get a much higher result than polls are suggesting,” Chambers continued, “but I don’t have any basis to agree with that. If you’re trying to construct a scenario where Trump wins, you need five more electoral votes. Virginia, Colorado and New Hampshire seems likely to go to Hillary”

    Off topic, but my Injun friends in Washington State had their mail in ballots returned already.
