I'm always caught off guard when someone uses "swiftboating" to mean something bad rather than "patriotic duty".

What does The Whale know about boating? He think a Lincoln is a boat, doesn't he?

[Joe Boucher]

kennedy should be in jail today for his actions with regards to Mary Jo. He is responsible for her death and worried more about his image. He is a drunk. And still the fools that are Massachusetts continue to support him.
Says a lot about him and the good folks of that state.

In the real world Mr. Ted has no credibility.
Has he ever had a real job?

[Radix]

The most conservative Senator from Massachusetts (my state) who once accused one of the most decent politicians I have been aware of (John Ashcroft) of treason said that?

[proudofthesouth]

Shut up Teddy! Your sorry butt should still be in prison for murdering Mary Jo!

By the way, if what I heard yesterday on Talk Radio is any measure, the issue of Patrick's history with convicts is killing him in the polls.

Well Ted, other than you aversion to water, what's wrong with "Swiftboating".

It's simply exposing the facts to daylight, rather than letting the myth's persist.

Democrats: Telling the truth about our ideas, actions, and agenda is fear and smear......

They really do know what gutter scum they are, don't they??

Demagogues like Teddy K. have to constantly lie about the targets of their ire, whether it is "Borking" nominees (let us remember which incorrigible scumbag gave us the new verb "borking" in the political lexicon) or attacking a candidate (Healy) who merely describes the actual facts of what her lib opponent did.

"Fear and smear" is definitely the current 'Rat slogan for mis-describing every Republican opponent's campaign, but it would far better be applied to the tactics of the 'Rats themselves.

[3niner]

The thing that these jerks don't seem to understand is that "swiftboating" means a group of people in a position to know the truth, telling the truth about a liar.

[Shadow Deamon]

"Make no mistake about it, this is swiftboating."

Oh yeah, I vaguely remember that evil tactic... it's the one where you expose a demoncrap to the truth and watch them burst into flame like a vampire exposed to sunlight.

Hey, it ain't like he drowned a girl . . .
