The writer obviously thinks that Richard Nixon really did send John Kerry into Cambodia in 1968. (Tip: Nixon wasn't President in 1968.)

Swift Boating describes the effective use on well funded false charges against the personal character of a candidate.

The leftist publications have control of the language. Control language and you control thought. It doesn't matter that their definition is the reverse of reality. "Swiftboating" will mean what they say it means.

Only rarely has a conservative been able to put a word into our vocabulary that hasn't had its meaning twisted by the left. And we are bombarded with "swift-boating", defined (by the left) as lies, "anything scandalous"-gate to remind the unwashed of Nixon, etc, etc. And the list of words usurped by the homosexual lobby is growing. "Gay" is gone from its historical usage. Rainbow, partner, buddy, etc, etc are going fast.

Please. I want my language back.

I e mailed Jim Crawford a link to this thread and how people think about his writing.

With writers like him, it’s no wonder Ohio is in deep trouble

“Swiftboating” is actually the revealing of the truth that has been swept under the rug and kept out of the daylight by the MSM.

[sobieski]

It means whatever liberals want it to mean, facts be da m ed

[DManA]

To me being Swift Boated is to be a truthful whistle blower and be branded as a liar by partisans who don’t like your message.

[garyhope]

I sent the Swiftboater’s money before I sent them some more money. Bought their book too.

One of the few times I’ve ever sent any group or political campaign money.

I guess I was duped. /Sar.

All of it needs to stop. There should be no restriction on speech except for yelling fire in a crowded theater and such.

The Swift Boat Vet’s ads worked because they were simply video footage of Kerry’s testimony in Congress, his lies were finally put out for the nation to see.

Since the MSM refused to discuss Kerry’s history and shoved it down their black hole, (just like Saddam and Son’s history), someone had to do the job of reporting to Americans.

So let's see frenchie was falsely accused of being a phony who claimed phantom injuries and treason in that he personally conducted “peace talks” with the viet cong. Oh and alger hiss and the rosenbergs were framed and pete seeger was never a communist. helen douglas was never a communist either. As a matter of fact it really was all made up. Right!
Since this is all a pack of lies about frenchie, all he has to do to clear it all up is sign a DD 180.

[tpanther]

Bingo...and not enough conservatives are fighting back.

I always refer to the Iraq operation as the ‘liberation of Iraq’, I never use ‘Iraq war’.

When idiots complain about Bush and his oil buddies I remind them of their war for oil lies.

I don’t use ‘suicide bombing’, I use ‘genocide bombing’ or ‘homicide bombing’.

[JoeSixPack1]

I seem to remember a $1 million bet to prove any charges false. The bet was ignored(?). Kerry has sunk back into his little liberal hole in the ground.

But hey, thats just reality.

[jincarolina]

there was no other president but NIXON involved in the vietnam war, dont you know that. (sarc)

Quoted from the article: "Swift Boating describes the effective use on well funded false charges against the personal character of a candidate. The way the game is played is a false charge is raised by a 529 group, one that is not permitted to be under the control of any candidate. The group makes the false charge and then the candidate who may benefit from the attack upon his opponent reminds voters that he/she does not endorse this view and has absolutely no control over those promoting the attack."

False charges that John Kerry has yet to refute despite being offered $1,000,000 in cash if he could do so. This is a great example of "the dog that didn't bark". Kerry's failure to refute the charges and Go Past Go is evidence enough of their truth.

I think that the Dems are very, very fearful of what a Swiftboat attack could do to the candidacy of their Marxist candidate for President, the one and only Obama. Personally, I expect the Swiftboating of Obama to be very effective given the wealth of material available. And that is just what we know now. Just wait until we really dig into this guys political past.

FTA:Swift Boating describes the effective use on well funded false charges against the personal character of a candidate.

They weren't false charges.

Which is why they were effective.

It turns out John Kerry really was an awful liar and a poor leader devoid of character.

The more you know...

don't have to look hard to find the false charge in this drivel do you?

[dodger]

‘Swift-boating’? Hah!

The democrats cooked up this cooked up phraselet to get the media away from THEIR truly evil invention, ‘Borking’.

Thanks for including the above line at the end of the excerpt - - it indicates there's no need to click the link and read any further. The author is clearly a lying p.o.s., so why bother? See ya on another thread!
