Contributing to Wizbang blog, Rob Port posted this heads-up of another lefty court ruling: Thurston Country Judge Decides that Political Speech is a Campaign Contribution.

Which is excerpted from the Seattle Post-Intelligencer website:

Talk-radio hosts regularly discuss candidates and ballot issues, often with a particular point of view in favor of one or opposed to another.

Do those comments constitute a financial contribution to a campaign?

Thurston County Superior Court Judge Chris Wickham thinks they do. In a ruling issued Friday, Wickham said the comments and activities by KVI-AM (570) hosts Kirby Wilbur and John Carlson on behalf of the Initiative 912 campaign are in-kind contributions that must be reported to the Public Disclosure Commission.
