>>So in this past campaign, Andy Martin was attacking Obama all over the 
place.  If a station pointed out Martin's personal track record, he would 
get time to respond?  Wonderful.<<

Depends on whether the FCC, as arbiter of the FD, would consider a recitation of facts as an attack.  If a station points out Martin's personal track record, and inserts opinions as part of it, no doubt it's an attack.  But sticking to facts may not qualify.
