Here is a question: If I write a book called, "How Lefties Hate the Bill of Rights and America," and author it by myself, that's protected free speech. Nobody disputes this. If I get half a dozen co-conspirators to do THE EXACT SAME BOOK, and we call ourselves "The Committee for a Free America" and publish the book (among others), is that protected under the First Amendment? If I get ESSEX to read the book verbatim into a microphone, and I publish an AUDIOBOOK on CD, is that "freedom of the press," or is that not protected because the Founders couldn't envision audiobooks? If I make a documentary film of the EXACT SAME BOOK, is that protected "speech?" If a bunch of us pool our money to make a documentary film of the EXACT SAME BOOK, is that protected speech? If I buy advertising to pimp my book and state that candidate X doesn't like my book because I say naughty things about him, is that protected speech? How about if a bunch of us pool our money to do the same? I guess I want to know why the Lefties don't see this as the exact same thing, just different forms of media with different bylines.
