Thanks Travis, great review, I will read this account of the great Swiftboaters that finally gave JFriggin Kerry his just rewards! For the record Mass had 2 POS Senators and both were/are traitors to the USA

“As others on the thread have noted, we have a long way to go before the old media wing of the DNC is completely marginalized.”

Old media has been pissed to no end since the Swifties decimated Kerry. One FReeper has a great tagline:

” To infuriate a conservative, tell him a lie. To infuriate a liberal, tell him the truth”

[stephenjohnbanker]

“My thought is that, having enjoyed a monopoly for so long (similar to IBM until the 80’s) they became fat and convinced of their wonderfulness. Insofar as they never had to defend a position, they forgot how.”

Spot on!

The astonishing thing is that although every thing that they said was provable and true, the urinalists of the MSM, who never were able to disprove a single word of it, to this day disdainfully and scornfully use the the label “swiftboating” to stand for lies. Talk about wee weeing on the truth you claim to stand for!

This is exactly why Travis McGee's review is so appreciated. It is vital that we get word out about a victory for the conservative cause. That's what To Set the Record Straight does. It recounts a victory and gives the reader the ability to reject the leftist memes about the Swift vets with authority.

No doubt finding the image you want with a search engine is annoying. Google’s lefty bias that actually cuts off certain people and topics only makes it more frustrating. I often have to think of the right recipe of tags before I get a picture I want.

Thanks for the ping. This is a very good review.

Your comment is correct: the old media is far from dead. Their constant drumbeat of slander drove public approval of President George W. Bush from 90% to 20% — and their worship of the new messiah was instrumental in the election of 2008.

We freepers have been clued into the old media for many years, but for many non-political types, the blatant bias exposed during the Swiftboat vets episode caused them to take off their blinders.
