WASHINGTON (CNN) — The Supreme Court has rejected a conservative group's legal fight to air commercials promoting a movie critical of presidential candidate Sen. Hillary Clinton, in a free-speech debate over whether the ads are political in nature.

Citizens United, a Washington-based advocacy organization, had urged the justices to accept the appeal on an expedited basis this spring, in time for the ads to have an impact throughout the election season.

Monday's decision by the high court means the group — if it chooses to air any broadcast ads — must indicate by name its sponsorship and disclose its political donors.

At issue was whether broadcast ads promoting the 90-minute documentary "Hillary: The Movie" are subject to strict campaign finance laws on political advocacy, or are a constitutionally protected form of commercial speech.

Democratic nomination was Hillary's to lose and she is losing it. How can anyone argue that she is more electable in Nov when she screwed up the primaries. It takes strategy and smarts to win elections… different strategies for primaries and general elections. Hillary has failed in the first test, and is now asking us to trust us with a bigger test in November. Obama is a once in a life time candidate who is winning against odds. And those of you who are calling him racist, you really belong in the other party, please vote for McCain whoever the democratic nominee is. I and an Obama supporter but will vote for Clinton, if she is our nominee.

Rick Sanchez on CNN showed Rev Wrights sermon in context on Sunday night. It is a shame how everyone spun him comments totally out of proportion. If you see the whole thing, you will realize that his sermon is not only NOT controversial. It is fairly accurate.

Kiki   March 24th, 2008 10:51 am ET

This group represents the extreme right. Obama represents the extreme left. They both unite to attack those in the middle…
Hillary 08

JP   March 24th, 2008 10:56 am ET

Hillary Clinton doesn't need a crazy pastor- she has herself and her husband to lead themselves to defeat.

Carol   March 24th, 2008 10:57 am ET

Better make sure Mr. Obama has not funded any of this.

MJaber   March 24th, 2008 11:01 am ET

They sould brodcast it, because of the right of free speach.

Obama '08

karen   March 24th, 2008 11:04 am ET

I guess a lot of people don't like Hillary.

Hillary   March 24th, 2008 11:07 am ET

We want to see the documentary expose hillary. the poll shows 53% do not trust her know. After this documentary 100% would hot trust her.

Billy J Austin,TX   March 24th, 2008 11:12 am ET

She must be doing something right, if she has the hate machine so riled up that they are willing to make a movie. Go Hillary!!

SPQR753   March 24th, 2008 11:16 am ET

So much for John McCain self proclaimed desire to run a CLEA N campaign!

Or has, this septuagenarian, candidate lost his memory??

mary b   March 24th, 2008 11:17 am ET

Get over it…this kind of preaching should not go on…if so…pay taxes…stop mixing church with state

fred   March 24th, 2008 11:19 am ET

Good for the Supreme Court!!!

Go Hillary!!

RealityKing   March 24th, 2008 11:19 am ET

America is now seeing through the Clintons, their day has pasted..

Rain   March 24th, 2008 11:20 am ET

So… let me get this straight. They're saying that their ads and movie are NOT political in nature, BUT, they want them aired in time for the ads to have an impact throughout the election season.

Am I missing something?

Kerry   March 24th, 2008 11:21 am ET

No matter what, please air commercials and footage! It is crucial the public learns the truth about Hillary and Bill before they continue to run their course of destroying the Democratic party's only chance of beating Bush 3.

mjc   March 24th, 2008 11:22 am ET

these people are obvioulsy insane - they don't want people to know who has given them the money to make this "documentary" because its all b.s. and a peice of propoganda and is very slanderous.

don't even give them a mention on here, cnn. they are crazy conspiracy theorists and should be dismissed just like you and the mainstream media dismiss 9/11 truth organizations.

Hanging Chad   March 24th, 2008 11:23 am ET

If something is critical towards a candidate and there are two other candidates in the race currently, who is it advocating???

Larry from LA   March 24th, 2008 11:23 am ET

Last time I checked this was a free country. But I guess the rules are different for Hillary and the Clintons. If this movie has documented research it should be allowed to air the commercials.

Deborah   March 24th, 2008 11:28 am ET

Hillary should just go home.

OBAMA is the candidate to beat McCain

gail   March 24th, 2008 11:29 am ET

They're in a flap because their bid to cloak mccain-stumping as 'documentary' is subject to limits? Cry me a river!

Sam   March 24th, 2008 11:31 am ET

Leave the lady a lone, i have no idea why this hate to the Clinton family, i found out that when the Americans hate somebody they will do what ever it takes to destroy the person,

like Bush when he hated Saddam.

MELMARIE   March 24th, 2008 11:32 am ET

Hillary is paying too much money to be exposed for what she really is.

Obama '08

Ella   March 24th, 2008 11:37 am ET

WOW its really just *pathetic* the height to which politics has rose
downright mean , dirty and in the gutter, even going to court to fight to BE DIRTY!!!
Make the opponent look bad no matter what the cost is

Maybe thats why Barack Obama is so focused on change bc America is in *deperate* need of it!!!!!!
How about focusing on ones own campaign and party and what the real dire issues are!!!
how nice that would be!!

baddog7   March 24th, 2008 11:37 am ET

the dem. race to the white house is what story that the movie blazing saddles is all about,plus joe six pack&archie play a big part in.

Well....   March 24th, 2008 11:42 am ET

As it should be……….clearly the intent is to have an impact on the election and CNN choses to have this headline vs. the Clinton Economic speech of today. I would certainly love to see who bankrolled this. Can't wait for the sequel - Obama:The Guy with Bad Judgment and a bad case of Psych101: Projection(I am sure the Republicans would come up with a better title) LOL

This is all baloney. How come there isn't any coverage of the Clinton economic solutions package on the site? That really does pertain to the issues of todays economy and solutions for America.

Terry   March 24th, 2008 11:43 am ET

Interesting ! I remember getting an invitation to a free movie on the Clintons back in the 90s. I went to see it. The movie talked about events and attempted to re-enact certain events. They attempted to connect the dots and convey that there was a lot of corruption with the Clintons. The only problem is there wan't any real proof or evidence offered. If there had been some evidence then Clinton would have been in jail. A friend helped me research the company that put together the movie and we discovered it was of course sponsored by many religious right and conservative republicans. They put a lot of money into making the movie and promoting it. The only problem is the lack of proof.

Peter   March 24th, 2008 11:44 am ET

whatever happened to "freedom of speech"? if it was something against Obama, they will let it fly ASAP!

Larry   March 24th, 2008 11:44 am ET

Good! Make the cockroaches come out from under the rocks! If you help sponsor sleaze like this, your name should be aired with it.

John   March 24th, 2008 11:44 am ET

Once this documentary hits the airwaves, it will make the Wright thing seem like a lazy day at the beach on warm sunny day with a nice cocktail in hand.

Aaron, Saint Paul MN   March 24th, 2008 11:46 am ET

I think it's good that they have to identify themselves. If they don't have the courage to stand behind their convictions, they shouldn't be allowed to broadcast them.

It's time for us, as a nation, to stand together to fight the unprecidented struggles that we face. These kind of people only wish to divide us and continue the internal fights of the '80s and '90s.

We should stand behind the person who is best able to do just that,

Obama '08!

Gina, Los Angeles   March 24th, 2008 11:50 am ET

If their "movie" was based on any kind of truth as opposed to just a Clinton slander campaign, then they would have no problem disclosing their sources. Go Hillary! We love you!

elaine   March 24th, 2008 11:52 am ET

I THINK IT SHOULD RUN OF FOX…THE FAIR AND BALANCE NEWS..HA….I AM SO SICK TO THEM TALKING ABOUT REV. WRIGHT WHEN THERE IS SO MUCH MORE INTERESTING THINGS TO HEAR ABOUT HILLIARY AND HER LIES

Amy in Iowa   March 24th, 2008 11:53 am ET

I saw the trailer for this movie and decided it was trash when I saw Ann Coulter was in it.

lauren in new york   March 24th, 2008 11:54 am ET

I say air it. Like it was aired on Rev. Wright.

DJ in TX   March 24th, 2008 11:58 am ET

Wow. A concervative court actually finding for a Democrat. Although I'm not a Hillary supporter, I applaud the court for this decision. The media plays too much in politics.

c Lynch   March 24th, 2008 11:58 am ET

Good for the Supreme Court They at least got that ruling right. The hate against Hillary is so bizzare its turning this race for the White house into a joke,I hope CNN realizes That there negative reporting on Hillary is part of the problem. I always thought CNN was fair in there reports but your beginning to sound like Fox.Come on get back to your fair reporting before its to late and you turn into a fox.

Jon   March 24th, 2008 11:58 am ET

I saw this movie and it was GREAT. Something everyone needs to see before a vote for Hillary. The movie actually confirmed all of my weird feelings and summed up completely, what I have seen during this election. You can buy it online if you are interested.

kevin from alaska   March 24th, 2008 12:00 pm ET

No doubt Hillary and Bill have a dubious past but it pails in comparison to the history & legacy of Bush and his cronies.

This stupid election has incited more hatred in people than a war that has killed hundreds of thousands of innocent people if not millions ever did. What's wrong with us people?

Debra   March 24th, 2008 12:01 pm ET

Just more of Obama's negative campaigning. The more I hear him do to drag Hillary in the mud, the more convinced I will never support him.

Ralph   March 24th, 2008 12:01 pm ET

Hillary is going to run as McCain's VP

ah! heck?   March 24th, 2008 12:06 pm ET

she may not be our next president,

but hands down, she is by far the most qualified.

McCain 08

NC Primary MY TURN!   March 24th, 2008 12:06 pm ET

Clintonistas: Stop attacking Obama. I agree with the court ruling and I am an Obama supporter. We must stand together or be defeated in the fall. I fear that is what we are headed for. The in-fighting must stop.

Dee   March 24th, 2008 12:08 pm ET

Until and unless, there is a strong evidence against any of the candidates- I have no interest in watching it.

Hillary is losing - does not matter if she is clean or dirty. What matters is she did not run her campaign well. People trusted Obama more. PERIOD.

David   March 24th, 2008 12:11 pm ET

looks like someone is doing all they can to keep this from coming out. there is just too much in hillary and Bill's past that is covered up.

Alice   March 24th, 2008 12:12 pm ET

The Republicans are wisely staying quiet about Clinton — while bashing Obama — so that the unsuspecting Democrats will select Clinton as their nominee. Then, all hell will break lose. And the Dem's who chose Clinton as "more electable" won't know what hit them.

This movie will be the tip of the iceberg.

mjc   March 24th, 2008 12:13 pm ET

obama can't win. 1980 electoral map all over again.

DJ   March 24th, 2008 12:13 pm ET

I agree with lauren in New York. Wright's words were not political in nature, but no one stopped that barage of attacks…

YouTubers, if yuo get your hands on this stuff, do your thing! Courts can't seem to stop you all.

who to judge   March 24th, 2008 12:16 pm ET

please stop not ony is the media and the candidates destroy the party you all are too!!!!!!!! we need unity, if not unity another BUSH 3 in white house whether you know it or not you helping him the REP read too and see how messy up we are. if you can not say nothing postive just don't say anything.

Jan   March 24th, 2008 12:16 pm ET

this thing is propaganda and probably well versed lies-twisted and evil like most of the jealous clinton adversaries comments. Rev Wrights DVD's were promoted by himself and he is not denying them. I love the way the Clintons stay above the fray while everyone else trys to defame them. They are true and loyal leaders! This includes the press. its no wonder they stay away from the media.

Ralph   March 24th, 2008 12:17 pm ET

Some people need to get a taste of what Hillary would face if she was able to win the nomination. Thank god the nomination is out of her reach. Bu-bye Hillary.

FELISA   March 24th, 2008 12:17 pm ET

i am an obama supporter and I don' t think they should air it.
Please people wake up. This is insanity. Howard Dean take control of your party and ask Hillary to leave asap.

Obama Nation   March 24th, 2008 12:18 pm ET

I wouldn't be suprised to see BHO's people teaming up with this group…I think you can see some connections…open your eyes…those of you who believe in false leaders…He doesn't believe in anything will believe anything.

Rich in Seattle   March 24th, 2008 12:20 pm ET

It's time for Hillary to bow out of the race. All she is doing now is damaging the party by staying in. Time to unite behind Obama. I know the Clintons hate to lose, but now they are just looking greedy too. Time to drop of Hillary!

BCNU purple state, usa   March 24th, 2008 12:23 pm ET

I suppose most the nay-sayers here probably consider Michael Moore to be some sort of oracle or prophet.

Things are only true if you believe them? Or is it, perception=reality?

Mike   March 24th, 2008 12:24 pm ET

Good… atleast someone has common sense… even the supreme court is tired of all the negative talk!!!

I like how they told them that if they choose to air it they will have to list all of the sponsors… freedom of speech means taking responsibility for what you say…

Everytime I watch a movie at the theater it has everyone listed that participated… what are they afraid of???

Double standard?   March 24th, 2008 12:26 pm ET

Why can't we see it? We have had to tolerate Rev Wright reruns for weeks - fair is fair!

Teresa W. of CA   March 24th, 2008 12:26 pm ET

Please allow this movie to be aired…so it can expose the truth about Hillary Clinton. She's no star but she's not president material either. I would like to see a renactment of her expression when Bill Clinton was exposed getting caught in his infidelity with Monica Lewinsky…yea, one big soap opera.

Darth Vadik, CA   March 24th, 2008 12:28 pm ET

Good for the Supreme Court, we all know how accurate the right wing documentaries are, the story of Prometheus is more beliveable than anything right wing says.

Elder   March 24th, 2008 12:29 pm ET

It's very sad, Afterall The most important is not the candidates.
But rather our NATION. The issues our nation face right now and the near future.

Lee From Treasure Island Florida   March 24th, 2008 12:32 pm ET

I agree with Elaine…run the Movie on Fox. Rev Wright was aired more far longed than 90 minutes. If advertised, Fox would get more viewers than the Final Four! Go for it Fox. Build your ratings! The public, the voters deserve to know.

Shana   March 24th, 2008 12:34 pm ET

omg…if I wanted to air such a video (which I don't), then I'd put it on youtube!

Wed, SC   March 24th, 2008 12:35 pm ET

Rev. Wright plan this one.

Laughable   March 24th, 2008 12:35 pm ET

The age of Clinton is over.

smart grrl in ls mo   March 24th, 2008 12:36 pm ET

Obama supporters are hilarious. Most remind me of my junior high school days.

SP   March 24th, 2008 12:36 pm ET

Hillary and McCain are equal, one used to be a Republican, the other one is a Republican. Hillary used to be a staunch supporter of Barry Goldwater, a Republican, in the 60's, who was against Civil Rights Act of 1964, and she supported him. Hillary was also in leadership position in the Republican Party while in college. So put 2 and 2 together. I am an independent and I support Obama. He is a once in a lifetime candidate and the most qualified and electable candidate in this race. Proud to be an Obama supporter!

Vic   March 24th, 2008 12:37 pm ET

I think both Obama and Clinton are both worthy of being a president of these United States.

karen from VA   March 24th, 2008 12:38 pm ET

We don't need a movie if we are ready to be individually responsible for reading the real data and drawing our own conclusions. That includes Wright's entire sermons, the Senators' records in the Library of Congress, their earmarks and Hillary's record as First Lady. Oops, we can't read that because all the parts she didn't want you to see were redacted. Ooops, she won't release those earmarks! Oh, well, who cares - we obviously don't need to think when we can read the Cliff notes.

Wang LI   March 24th, 2008 12:44 pm ET

Um… Let's see what they've got…
I am ready… now !

Jon   March 24th, 2008 12:44 pm ET

The movie features interviews with Billy Dale, the 30 year Travelgate employee who, instead of being fired by the Clintons, was set up and accused of embezzlement for $14,000. They got him out, got their friends in. He was acquitted, but not after smearing his name and ruining his longstanding reputation. The interviews are real and he is a regular Joe like all of us, set up by the Clintons. My comments on the movie aren't posting, this probably won't post either, but we'll see.

Joy   March 24th, 2008 12:44 pm ET

If they can disclose all the required information, they should go air it, but they couldn't. Why? Think about it.

Obama supporters. Use your brain, not emotions.

Jack   March 24th, 2008 12:44 pm ET

HAHAHA this is great

conservatism is dead as a door-nail

wouldn't be surprised if Obama was behind this…. he'll do anything now to take focus off his Anti-American campaign surrogates

I am always writing on CNN and for some reason, all I see is my comment awaiting moderation. I have read some stuff that should not even be on but it still makes it. Can you please let me leave a comment

AJ   March 24th, 2008 12:47 pm ET

What, Obama or Oprah couldnt influence the court?

Get Over It Already Please!   March 24th, 2008 12:47 pm ET

To all of you bringing Rev. Wright into this:

What Rev Wright said was wrong - and maybe just because he happens to be the Reverand to Obama he has gotten over exposure, but what he said was wrong - very wrong and he was exposed. Now, if Hillary's Pastor said those things - don't you think that he would have been exposed for the person her was? I know if I had a Pastor that said the things Rev. Wright did I would hope that he would be exposed also - but then again, I would have never stayed to listen, especially with my children!

Chris In California   March 24th, 2008 12:47 pm ET

Why would they want to HIDE their sponsors and donors anyway? LOL…I think the high court did the RIGHT thing!

Maxine   March 24th, 2008 12:49 pm ET

Why wouldn't they be able to air commercials on it. Hey put it on U-Tube any way it will get played/viewed more, safe some cash on ads.

Who is holding it up from airing?

Monique Manna   March 24th, 2008 12:50 pm ET

How well do any of you who support Obama know him?

Do any of you supporters know that he used to smoke cigarettes? Can anyone here tell me if he has quit?

Thanks - I'll be waiting for answers!

Will from Gaithersburg, MD   March 24th, 2008 12:50 pm ET

I am in no way an advocate of dirty politics, but given the type of fear-mongering and kitchen-sink attacks brought forth by the Clinton campaign, they deserve a taste of their own medicine. So, I say expose her; she lacks transparency anyway.

B.Dallas   March 24th, 2008 12:52 pm ET

. . .Forget the movie. There is other proof that Clinton is not the person
that we would want as a dictator….oops, I mean president. Just
google Clinton Scandals.

Jeff   March 24th, 2008 12:53 pm ET

I switched from Clinton to Obama because she was going negative. However, I need to know if Obama or people closed to him has given money to make this movie. Now if the movie doesn't convice me that she is the devil and Obama contributed to pay for it, I will be a Clinton fan again. SO SHOW THE LIST OF PEOPLE WHO GAVE THE MONEY!!!
Obama 08

Kekona in Oregon   March 24th, 2008 12:53 pm ET

Please don't air it. That way Hillary won't be able to blame it on anyone else when she loses.

Obama '08!

Chris   March 24th, 2008 12:56 pm ET

Even better..accidentally lose it, or leak it and get someone to steal it. It is a pretty good tactic. Paris Hilton used it.

C. Brown   March 24th, 2008 12:57 pm ET

Excellent News. The cowards should have to reveal those behind the trash! Give me a break…. CNN should be much more intrerested in the fair reporting of the candidates and not whether this is a good thing. I'm sure you (commentators) are very dissapointed that you do not have something else NEGATIVE to report about the Clintons. You all should be ashamed with all this Hate!

Ruslyn Schultz   March 24th, 2008 12:58 pm ET

I find this amusing. The same group trying to to get ads aired for this movie, took the opposite position against ads for Ferinheit 9/11 and was defending McCain-Feingold then.

It's amazing how political affiliation makes groups change their principles.

C J in St Louis   March 24th, 2008 1:01 pm ET

I think they shouldn't have to identify their sources. Micheal Moore never said who helped him fund Fahrenheit 9/11 or sicko.

Texan   March 24th, 2008 1:03 pm ET

They are trying kill the strongest opponent first. Then they will come back in November and kill the next one, that is, Obama.

Thank you Supreme Court for protecting Hillary Clinton!

Ladyleo Atlanta   March 24th, 2008 1:06 pm ET

I am really looking forward to seeing this movie. Why would the courts get involved?

Lidia   March 24th, 2008 1:09 pm ET

I am amazed at the level of disloyalty and ingratitude most Americans show to the Clintons. These people have devoted their lives to this country and America has never been stronger or more prosperous than it was during the Clinton year. They championed minority causes (rights for African Americans and other minorities) and after leaving office, Bill Clinton has raised hundreds of millions for Africans and other disadvantage nations. It really says something when I see how hateful some of these comments are.

Bringiton- Maryland   March 24th, 2008 1:11 pm ET

I say bring it on… and let the chips fall where they may.

Biracial N Proud   March 24th, 2008 1:11 pm ET

They say it is not polictical but want it aired right before the primaries "yeah right" Then they don't want to expose who help fund this ad..so what are they hiding? This is nothing more than a sad attempt for the so called "right wing" to scare us into voting for someone they can run right over!!!

Steve   March 24th, 2008 1:16 pm ET

Hopefully everyone on here saying "air it" is a republican. Surely Obamaniacs wouldn't be that stupid would they?

Steve Ca, USA   March 24th, 2008 1:19 pm ET

Even if it is completely negative I wouldn't watch it because I'm tired of seeing her on any media. But get your kicks because she needs more people to see the truth about how evil she is.

David, Atlanta   March 24th, 2008 1:19 pm ET

This stuff is getting old. These groups can lie to get people to see their point of view. I wonder how many people are stupid enough to change their votes based on this type of propaganda. It didn't work during the last election and won't work during this one.

eleanor fitzgerald   March 24th, 2008 1:22 pm ET

I always try to consider the source of any political "documentary". I have had enough of swift boating tactics toward any candidate. May the best and most qualified all-around capable and deserving candidate and party win! Three worthy people are running for the office of presidents, all of whom should denounce such tactics. . Perhaps many Americans are too dumb to figure out which one is best for our times and needs.. They can be influenced by inflamatory and often distorted information and inuendos. What a shame! Good for the Supreme Court in at least requiring full disclosure of those involved. Eleanor

Walt, Belton,TX   March 24th, 2008 1:24 pm ET

You mean there is more trash in Hillary's basement? Lordy, Lordy, who would have thought how nasty such a warm, loving person could be. Maybe Bill is really the purest of the two after all………………………

Chipster   March 24th, 2008 1:26 pm ET

Why is this organization willing to "indicate by name its sponsorship and disclose its political donors." Are they afraid to be held accountable? This is pathetic.

Arkansas Undertaker   March 24th, 2008 1:27 pm ET

To: Lauren in New York

I AGREE WHOLE HEARTEDLY! they tried to take Barak Obama Down with the rantings and raving or a CRAZY pastor. They tried to hold Obama accountable for his Pastors teachings and doctrines, which was toatlly unfair.

Let them air it. The Clinton Camp is always throwing a rock and hiding their hands. They can dish it out but they cant take it. She is always trying to act like a victim.

Obama/Richardson 08

Sandy   March 24th, 2008 1:30 pm ET

Is this the movie Ben Affleck and Matt Damon were working on for the Obama campaign that they wanted the people from the blogs to send in entries to be on the movie? And paid for by the Obama campaign.

SaneTexan   March 24th, 2008 1:36 pm ET

RE: Zia, Hillary hasn't lost it yet. She has taken all the large states that would go Democratic except for Obama's home state.
Obama is unelectable in the general election. He has played the race card time after time so there is NO way he will be President. You had better get used to it. He is history.

Frank, San Diego   March 24th, 2008 1:37 pm ET

Everyone is missing the point.

These people can air all the ads they want to. They just have to reveal who they actually are and where they are getting their money.

If their cause is so righteous and their claims so true, why should they mind subjecting them to the court of public opinion with their names attached?

Ah, that's right. Conservatives are cowards. Sorry, I forgot. My bad.

Reality check #1   March 24th, 2008 1:41 pm ET

My comment, If Obamba wins the Demoratic Party, I will vote for McCain, and I have nevr voted for a Republican. I can't stand Obamba and his remarks about The Rev. Wright being his mentor, heck, just say he has the devil standing with him.

Carol   March 24th, 2008 1:50 pm ET

Wow! What is this and how do I get to see it? I hope this will be blasted all over TV the way the Rev. Wright thing has been.

CNN- please post my last comment. Why are all of my comments being deleted. There is nothing in my last post that is any worse than any of posts above. I'm beginning the think that CNN truly does stand for Clinton New Network. Please let the American public hear both sides so they can make an informative decision.

It doesn’t matter what ads or movies get run. The Democrats have destroyed themselves starting with Bill’s comments before the SC Primary. When the campaign was being contested on the issues Hillary was loosing. When she turned negative in an attempt to turn things around, (like the Republicans conduct their campaign) it pretty much sealed the Democrats fate in the general election.

Go Nader!

Vince Los Angeles, CA   March 24th, 2008 1:55 pm ET

YOu people supporting Hillary are going to destroy the Democratic party's chances of winning the White House. This documentary is going to come out sooner or later…just watch…HILLARY IS A FLAWED CANDIDATE…..HER NEGATIVES ARE GOING TO MAKE THE REV WRIGHT THING LOOK LIKE PRE-SCHOOL!!!

Sara   March 24th, 2008 1:56 pm ET

Yes, by all means air it. Expose Hillary. OBAMA 08′

Doug R.   March 24th, 2008 1:58 pm ET

It would be interesting to see the names of the individuals and groups who put forth this anti- Hillary/ Clinton documentary. Why are these cowards so afraid of revealing who they are??

Kurtis   March 24th, 2008 2:05 pm ET

The big surprise here is that the Supreme Court made the right call. Just because you call it a documentary, doesn't make it true…especially when folks like Ann Coulter and company are acting as historians.

Consider the sources, people. It will just another repugnant republican slander campaign.

Isn't it great that Hillary Clinton is going to be the next POTUS!!!!!??!!!!

Marguerite Nash   March 24th, 2008 2:06 pm ET

Perhaps it is because the Clinton's feel the presidency is owed to them. For what reason I have no clue.

However, the Washington Post has an article on Hillary's trip to Bosnia. They called it a "whooper", Andrea Mitchell was with her, not the way Hillary told it.

tomdavie   March 24th, 2008 2:07 pm ET

Cnn consistently crops the replies to suit whatever they want. How about you let EVERYONE reply. Why do you chose to discount some replies, and put ridiculously inflammatory ones up ? Exactly what rules to you employ to discredit someones reply. I notice that several posters consistenly have their anti clinton posts up , no matter how ridiculous and hateful, but then others like myself dont

Go screw yourself CNN

Sherry   March 24th, 2008 2:09 pm ET

Lets have a smear fest about all of the candidates. That's what hate is all about. That's how this election has been going so far. So it would be nothing new.

Scott   March 24th, 2008 2:18 pm ET

go Hillary

Sue, Michigan   March 24th, 2008 2:25 pm ET

Yeah, let's let more lies be told about Hillary. Think, people. If any of this were true, she and Bill would be sitting in jail. If you ask me, it's an attempt to smear her (again) because the Republicans know she would wipe the floor with McCain in a debate.and in the election. They are terrified of her…Obama will go down easily because there are more skeletons out there than Rev. Wright.
We need a unified Democratic party, and I don't believe Obama can pull that off. Hillary can!

Indy   March 24th, 2008 2:25 pm ET

Obama, people should investigate more into his background. Americans do not know him yet. His speeches are good selling points, but it 's hard to beleive this man does not have any hidden secrets. what about his time as state senate and he should relax his tax returns to the public …

Lucyna   March 24th, 2008 2:26 pm ET

Hillary has 35 year of experiece in manipulating the system and her supporters are follong into her trap. Why don't you open your eyes and see what this woman is made of.

elena   March 24th, 2008 2:28 pm ET

OK, not many like Hillary. Too many liked Bush….
Do the math. Can't choose a president on likeability !!!

Alston   March 24th, 2008 2:31 pm ET

The group should disclose its sponsors and air the ad..

..if its the truth about Hillary the world should know !

AlisonB   March 24th, 2008 2:38 pm ET

If it will disclose some truths for people to know about the presidential cadidate Hilary Clinton to me more power to the individuals posting it

truth be told   March 24th, 2008 2:42 pm ET

it is only fair that this documentary be aired… She has to be vetted like the other presidential candidates…

Tex   March 24th, 2008 2:47 pm ET

The Clintonites will say that Obam is behind this movie. Just watch!

Bill, Sacramento   March 24th, 2008 2:51 pm ET

CNN Please tell me why you won't post my comments!

Jon   March 24th, 2008 2:58 pm ET

The movie is not a conspiracy theory, its all based on truths. Its an actual documentary that anyone in America would benefit from seeing. Republican, Democrat, Independent. It is not propaganda just because there are Republicans in it…there are Dems in it as well, credible journalists etc.

SAM, Raleigh, NC   March 24th, 2008 2:59 pm ET

Freedom of… oh who are we kidding? We have no real freedom. The world will be united under the the rule of tyranny. Will we be recieving what we deserve?

scott   March 24th, 2008 3:06 pm ET

Lets see BO's taxes for the last 8 yrs and see where the funding came from

AtlantaVoter   March 24th, 2008 3:13 pm ET

This isn't about freedom of speech; it's about disclosure. If you want to say something nasty about a candidate you need to be willing to say who you are.

I wonder who it is? Is it you, CNN?

Rosa   March 24th, 2008 3:24 pm ET

Jeez, Hillary the movie. I can't stand Hillary the person.
