DeVore's campaign heavily edited a clip of Fiorina to attack her.

Earlier this month, Carly Fiorina sat down for an interview at the Web 2.0 Summit to talk her battle with cancer and a potential candidacy for the U.S. Senate.

During the interview, Fiorina talked about the "inevitable" regulation of the internet. She expanded to call the internet the "wild west" where "anything goes." She specifically cited the "exploitation of children and women" in the "online world."

To put it all together, it appears Fiorina believes regulation is coming to the internet one way or another. She is noticeably unclear on where this contention comes from in this video but it may be a nod to the party's base around the idea of net neutrality as regulation, which is flatly false. Net neutrality preserves the internet and is does not add any additional regulations.

It seems that her contention is that, in her mind, if regulation is coming, it should be used to fight against the exploitation of children and women. To parse the statement out, one would imagine she means child pornography and the belief that pornography degrades women.

Chuck DeVore pounced and released a heavily edited clip of Fiorina's answer in a new, ridiculously self-aggrandizing web video. The poorly-produced web video -- an "award-winning new media operation" can't do better than Windows Movie Maker quality? -- claims that Fiorina wants to curtail the First Amendment's protections of freedom of speech.

It is clear from Fiorina's answer that she was speaking of the exploitation of children and women, but apparently, kiddie porn and the like is protected free speech?

The most ironic element of all this, the video was pushed in an e-mail by DeVore staffer, Justin Hart, when Hart previously consulted for the Lighted Candle Society, an anti-pornography group.
