Looks like the LLM can actively participate in a campaign for or against a certain candidate and the FEC has no problem with it. Even if the docs are frogeries and the so-called witness is lying.
| Quote: | Election officials have thrown out a complaint against John Kerry's presidential campaign and CBS over a now-discredited story that questioned President Bush's National Guard service.
The Federal Election Commission, in a 6-0 ruling, said there was no reason to believe the allegations raised by the Center for Individual Freedom over the story that aired on CBS' "60 Minutes Wednesday" in September.
The politically conservative group contended the report amounted to an illegal election-time advertisement against Bush that was financed with corporate money; that CBS improperly coordinated the story with Kerry's campaign; and that the story was an illegal contribution to the Democratic senator from Massachusetts.
The FEC vote, taken last month, was disclosed this week in a statement by the commission's three Republican members explaining why they joined the FEC's three Democrats in rejecting the complaint.

Are they trying to say Dan Rather is NOT a resposible journalist?
