Definition of swiftboating - being hammered with the truth.
Swiftboating to me means:
Investigating the truth of what a person claims to be true about himsself/herself and then exposing any lies they have told.
Swiftboating has been around for a long time. I believe most company HR departments practice it when they check references and check other information on the resume and application such as degrees, etc. Colorado was quite remiss in not doing its homework on Ward.
