I have adopted your post for my tagline. You have really captured the essence of Swiftboating!

At least the author recognized that it was "unpleasant truths" that was being hurled. Let the left keep their definition, we have ours. Just as the left has it's own interpretations of "patriotism, honor, duty, etc." and we know the correct meanings

Mr. Martin,
I donated $200 to Swift Boat Veterans for Truth during the 2004 election cycle, and find your definition of "Swift-Boating" to be smarmy and intellectually dishonest.
All John Fraud Kerry ever had to do to completely discredit the Swiftees is sign Standard Form SF-180 releasing his ENTIRE military record to the public and submit it to the National Personnel Records Center.
http://www.archives.gov/st-louis/military-personnel/standard-form-180.html#ways
Since Mr. Kerry was campaigning to become Commander-in-Chief of the United States military, his military record was highly relevant. All other Presidential candidates in recent history have made their ENTIRE military records public. Mr. Kerry founded his political career on his military service in Viet Nam. It seems odd that he would be the only candidate to demur from providing his military records.
The problem for Mr. Kerry with releasing his ENTIRE military record to the public is that we would find out the particulars on his three Purple Hearts and Bronze Star, decorations earned in less than 30-days in-country. There are many recipients of a single Purple Heart who are missing body parts, but Mr. Kerry is completely scar-free, except for a few bicycling and snowboarding mishaps.
To this day, we have no idea who awarded these medals or why, other than Mr. Kerry's account. All we ever wanted from Mr. Kerry were documented facts, facts that he evidently considers to be an embarrassment.
Prove me wrong. Convince Mr. Kerry to sign and submit Standard Form SF-180.
Regards,

"I think the MSM reporters should be required to register as lobbyers "
I'll see that and raise it:
They should get Free Speech Permits and be required to take a test to keep the permit. Then they can access mass media.
Many states require this for concealed carry; no reason not to apply it to the first amendment too.

Swiftboating is going around the gatekeepers of news, to get a negative story out about a candidate,that otherwise the story would not be known to the public. - Tom

How does he define "Borked?"
I just want a Lewinsky.

"Borked" it's synonymous with the term "Chappaquidiced".
