To wit:
"As a veteran, it disgusts me that the Swift Boats we loved while we were in uniform on the Mekong Delta have been rendered, in Karl Rove's twisted politics, an ugly verb meaning to lie about someone's character just to win an election."
Only you and the MSM have made Swiftboating into an "ugly verb meaning to lie about someone's character just to win an election." Everyone else sees the exact opposite: revealing the truth about a dishonest politician in order to keep him from winning an election.
Kerry gets it right, but for the wrong people! Here is the true definition of the Swifties: "The truth matters, but how you fight the lies matters even more. We must be determined never again to lose any election to a lie." Or a liar.
"These attacks smear Barack's Christian faith and deep patriotism, and they distort his record of more than two decades of public service. They are nothing short of "Swiftboat" style anonymous attacks."
I don't recall the Swifties being anonymous in any way. In fact, they proudly revealed their identities to confirm the validity of their claims against Kerry.
To this day, Kerry has yet to fulfill his promise to sign Standard Form 180, releasing his military records to the public.
Obama is better off without this lying buffoon on his team.
As a vietnam veteran John ‘effin Kerry and his traitorious actions disgust me. The voters of Taxachusetts must be some of the biggest morons living in this country.
Rich Lowry used the same terminology. I was thinking the same thing, that I have been wondering how the questions about Kerry’s record became unfounded lies. I notice that the relative youth of some of the writers may explain their willingness to accept Kerry’s word about his war record, and many of the rest of the media who accept the use of the term, swiftboating, are willing to believe Kerry simply because it fits their agenda and gives them cover for their own positions on the Vietnam War.
When will they swiftboat hrc?
Couldn't read past this disgusting POS from the worst person to ever run for POTUS...lies are all he speaks!
Oh you big baby, YOU LOST.
Get over it.
>to lie about someone’s character just to win an election<
Yes, John. And in your case we’ve determined who was doing the lying.
Damn! No matter what, it’s all about Kerry! It is like Bill Clinton.
You said everything I was going to say in your OP.
I have no idea whether the Clinton critiques of Obama are accurate or not, but, just as you said, Kerry has never demonstrated that the SVT attacks on him were false. At best, he has shown that they disagree with him and with some official records, but he has not signed a 180 to permit all records to be released.
Kerry should have sent the letter to Hillary and Bill if he wanted the smearing to stop.
From JFn’s letter: “They are nothing short of “Swiftboat” style anonymous attacks.”
Not a damned anonymous thing about it ... they had an ad in which swiftboaters appeared personally, by name standing up for their truth. Kerry just doesn’t have a very close relationship to even the concept of truth.
And, unless I’m missing something, the attacks on Obama are not coming from the right but from the grifters from Arkansas/New York.
Does that mean Obambi had a hat given to him by a CIA agent in Cambodia? Does he still have the hat?
John Kerry needs to STFU actually. His remarks about “the truth matters, but fighting lies matters more” is utter BS.
If the truth matters, you don’t turn around and lie MORE to fight something you consider to be a lie coming from the other side.
When the other side exposes you for what you are, a LIAR, you need to back up, apologize and go back to your corner and STFU. Sorry Kerry, you’re wrong, and if “Swiftboating” means telling the TRUTH, then you, Mr. Kerry are washed up and a loser.
What the hell is he talking about?
