John Kerry: Obama being 'swiftboated' August 17, 2012 | 4:43 pm

Paul Bedard Washington Secrets The Washington Examiner @SecretsBedard

Sen. John Kerry, the 2004 Democratic presidential candidate on Friday charged that critics are trying to "swiftboat" President Obama with false and "ridiculous" claims and that Mitt Romney is a foreign policy rookie who embarrassed himself during a recent trip to London.

In a letter to Obama's supporters, he railed on the charges Obama has been hit with, including those from the so-called "birthers."

The attacks, he said, "remind me all too well of the notorious 'Swift Boat' attacks I faced in the 2004 campaign." He was referencing devastating charges from fellow Vietnam War veterans questioning his service.

In the note, he also slapped Romney for being a foreign policy novice and potential presidential disaster. "Republicans have a candidate with absolutely no foreign policy experience, who thinks Russia is our 'number one geo-political foe' and who is advised by people who think -- and have repeatedly said -- the Soviet Union and Czechoslovakia are countries that still exist. Romney's two major foreign policy speeches never even mentioned Al Qaeda once, and he's prone to stumbles when he steps onto the foreign policy stage. He can't even manage to visit London without causing an international incident!"

Below is Kerry's note:

When Kerry is not busy serving dishonorably, he is busy marrying rich women. Kerry is the one veteran who used his 13 weeks in Vietnam to besmirch the troops in the field and encourage Ho to extend the war. I can say this nation would be better off had he not served or preferably had he not been born.He is dirt.

All the Swift Boat Vets did was tell the truth about John F’ing Kerry. The truth is what sank his presidency (along with his treasonous behavior).

Kerry attempting to be Obama’s truth squad is like trying to blame the victim for the rape. “You see, if the victim wouldn't have been there, she wouldn't have gotten raped by my client, your honor.”

The truth will come out and Emperor Obama has no clothes, Senator Kerry. It's like what happened to you. You do remember the truth about your past, don't you?

The image of “reporting for duty” Kerry arriving at the donk convention in a boat like he was patrolling a river in Vietnam will forever be seared into my memory.

Thank you Swift Boat patriots! You served your Country twice!

The Veteran’s Dictionary:

Swiftboat: for others present at the time to tell the real truth about a claim of military prowess by one presently or formerly involved in a wartime operation

See above: I’m working on a veteran’s definition of “swiftboat” since the damn word has apparently worked its way into the lexicon.

We might as well respond with the real, truthful definition.

John Kerry: Obama being 'swiftboated'

Meaning they're exposing your character. It's shocking that 8 years later he's learned nothing.

"They gave me a hat," Mr. Kerry says. "I have the hat to this day," he declares, rising to pull it from his briefcase. "I have the hat."

""swiftboat" President Obama with false and "ridiculous" claims"

Actually, "swiftboat" is defined as telling the truth about another lying, phony, sack of manure, democrat politician.

Pontius Pilate: “What is truth”. I am unsure whether or not to place a question mark on the end of that statement, or question.

Pontius Pilate epitomizes secular political thought. It means that “truth” can be crafted to obtain the greater good. The greater good can be whatever is desired.

"Kerry says that as if it is a bad thing."

Exactly.
