Stifling Debate

Instapundit links to this fax letter sent to television stations by the Kerry Campaign, threatening to sue them if they show the advertisement from the Swift Boat Veterans For Truth for libel. According to the Kerry campaign, these veterans are lying about Kerry and his service. Imagine the uproar if the Bush campaign threatened to sue for libel people accusing the President of lying, or anything else for that matter. Democrats can dish it out, but obviously they can't take it.

Update: Powerline has an excellent analysis of this letter, both from a legal as well as a political viewpoint.
