Republicans have filed a complaint with the Federal Election Commission accusing two Los Angeles radio personalities of "criminal behavior" for attacking a local congressman on-air and endorsing his Democratic opponent.
The National Republican Congressional Committee contends that ongoing criticism of Rep. David Dreier, R-San Dimas, by KFI-AM talk show hosts John Kobylt and Ken Chiampou represents an illegal in-kind donation of more than $25,000 to Dreier's challenger.
"This behavior is illegal and must be appropriately punished," the committee says, adding that violating the law carries a penalty of fines and jail time.

Right, well, so much for free speech then.
Oh, and Eninem is in deep shit for this.
I wonder how much of a in-kind donation they'd count that as...
Jeesus though, given just how much their trying to cheat before the election, I wonder what they've got planned for after it?! I mean, given how far sunk in denial they are they're hardly likely to give up without a fight, just because they lost, are they?
