Disagreeing with Leftists is "Stifling Debate"?

Leftist writer James Woolcott is defending the way the Grinning Peanut has slimed Israel in his recent book -- which the ADL has of course protested against. The aptly-named woolly one says:

"To counter Carter's claim that the Israeli lobby stifles debate in this country, the Anti-Defamation League is going to stifle debate and slime the former president with guilty by association to prove how wrong he is"

Riehl World rightly comments:

"Stifle debate"? It looks to me as though they are actually initiating debate; certainly nothing Wolcott writes evidences an occasion wherein they sought to stifle it. This is a typical Liberal tactic - if you disagree with me and take a stand on principle, you're not only wrong, you're trying to shut me down

Jews have no right to defend themselves against defamation, apparently.
