It would be a serious charge, if it were true.

Unsurprisingly, it comes from a source who has no credibility, and is a known liar:

This is just another attempt by the McCain campaign to distract voters from how out of touch he is, and how wrong he is on every single issue that Americans care about.-

Actually, it wouldn't be a serious charge even if it was true, because no one has ever been prosecuted on the basis of Logan Act since its passage in 1799.

As a matter of fact, I'd love for someone to bring a suit so that it's finally declared unconstitutional.-

Our mistake: Note to readers

Douglas Kelly, National Post Published: Wednesday, May 24, 2006
""Last Friday, the National Post ran a story prominently on the front page alleging that the Iranian parliament had passed a law that, if enacted, would require Jews and other religious minorities in Iran to wear badges that would identify them as such in public. It is now clear the story is NOT TRUE. Given the seriousness of the error, I felt it necessary to explain to our readers how this happened."
The story of the alleged badge law first came to us in the form of a column by AMIR TAHRINI. Mr. Taheri, an Iranian author and journalist, has written widely on Iran for many major publications. In his column, Mr. Taheri wrote at length about the new law, the main purpose of which is to establish an appropriate dress code for Muslims. Mr. Taheri went on to say that under the law, "Religious minorities would have their own colour schemes. They will also have to wear special insignia, known as zonnar, to indicate their non-Islamic faith.""

Wil, as of this morning there are three witnesses to the conversation, and they are standing by the story as true. As with the National Enquirer story, it turns out to be true.

Senator Obama apparently committed a Logan Act violation.
This is a felony.
This is NOT a "distraction", Wil. It seems as though every time we see Senator Obama for who he is it gets termed a "distraction".
Now, will he get investigated? I doubt it. Very few people will want to get in the way of an ongoing election.
Should he get investigated? Absolutely.
Your guy used his position to attempt to impact the outcome of an ongoing election in his favor. Pretty unsavory.
If that's "Hope and Change", I'll pass. -
