The reason that the MSM and the lest (OK, they're pretty much one and the same) are going after her on "The Jersey Girls" is because by minimizing the fact that she's targeted 4 specific political activists, and trying to get the "unwashed masses" to believe that she's taking a swipe at all widows of September 11, they're hoping to completely discredit her. "After all, if she'll say something as ridiculous and 'hateful' as that, she'll say anything!" The simple fact is that they can't repudiate anything she says using facts or evidence, so they have to try to destroy her credibility, in order to call everything she writes and says into question. Of course, if we held the left to that same standard, nobody would buy the NY Times, Washington Post, LA Times, Time, or Newsweek ever again. Or watch any of the alphabet networks, CNN, or MSNBC.

They did the same thing, with far greater success to Gary Aldrich, regarding Clinton's sneaking out of the White House for sexual escapates, which may or may not have happened. Of course, everything else in the book was right, but the MSM glommed on to that one point, and by playing it up, they destroyed his credibility. On the other hand, I did once read something about evidence of this actually happening.

The MSM would rather talk about the Jersey Girls than the thrust of her book. In that sense, they're winning.
