Free speech for ME, but not for THEE!

Deb over at True Blue comments on an attempt by Media Matters for America to get "Unfit for Command" pulled at Wal-Mart, Amazon.com and Barnes & Noble. David Brock, CEO of MMFA likens the book to the "Hitler Diaries" (for those that don't remember, they were a fraud). Apparently Brock has somehow done what no one else on the left has done ... a thorough refutation of all the allegations in the book.

Or maybe not. As Deb says:

IF there was a REAL case to be made in accusing these veterans of "false allegations and lies", otherwise known as libel - wouldn't it have been made already? Wouldn't Kerry himself have to address the actual issues in the book and the television ads and prove that they are wrong?

You'd think so, huh?

UPDATE (JON): The "Hitler Diaries", huh? Well, I guess that's a less embarrassing comparison than, say, "The Real Anita Hill" or "The Seduction of Hillary Rodham".
