"the Swift Boating began," Well, since the Swift boaters were honest men speaking the truth I think that's fine that they "swift boat" this nut-job. They can try to sully the reputation of the heroes from Vietnam who were the swift boat veterans that stepped forward to speak the truth and reveal how Kerry was lying about his record and his secret missions on Christmas eve and all that, but Americans know better than to mindlessly accept their efforts at slander and dismissal of the problems with Sheehan. What do they think we are, Liberal? The majority of Americans are not that dumb.
Yes. The left is using "Swiftboating" as the new "McCarthyism."
When you get in these guys faces with the truth, they unite to poison the messenger and salt the earth around him.

My thoughts exactly. The MSM and Liberals are doing the "woe is me" routine everytime they get caught and they turn their anger on someone who exposes them.
After Dukakis lost the Presidential election in 1988 to George Herbert Walker Bush, all we heard for four years was how "unfair and racist" the Willie Horton ad was. The forgot these facts:
1. Al Gore was the first person to use that ad about Horton in the primaries, and
2. It was true! Dukakis let murderers, rapists, and maniacs out on furlow (so he could be thought of as a "compassionate" liberal)
The Swift Boat vets were ignored by the MSM when they had their first press conference on in May of 2004. The MSM buried it, and only C-SPAN could broadcast it. Everyone with a brain on this forum knew it was political dynamite, and Kerry was finished if the truth got out.
Look at this tidbit from the Media Research center:
Back on May 4, ABC and NBC ignored the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth’s press conference, while CBS’s Byron Pitts claimed the veterans had merely “unleashed decades of bitterness.” His Evening News story ignored Kerry’s record, but challenged his critics: “If you think this is just a concerned group of veterans, think again.”
Despite the herclean efforts of the MSM to cover it up, it did.
