khagler: Very good point. Carry on.
And to put the final nail in the coffin of this argument... take a look at it from the Supreme Court's point of view. To them this isn't about whether or not a corporation is a person or not, it's about what the constitution says.
The United States Constitution does not say, "People have a right to free speech".
It says, "Congress shall make no law restricting freedom of speech."
In short: The US Constitution acknowledges the right to free speech of humans, corporations, limited liability partnerships, pigs, dogs, gerbils, and little blue furry creatures from Alpha Centauri. It doesn't care what you are. You have the desire to speak, you have the right to do so. Full stop.
