I think that using the term "swiftboating" takes away from the magificent work the Swift Boat Vets did for all of us. It sorta puts it in a negative way, ya' know?
I did not use that term to describe this, Jim Rob did.
I do understand your point, and maybe we should come up with another name for what we are doing.
I really don't think its negative towards those heros, the Swiftboat vets who saved our nation from a treasonist creep like John Kerry. It might even be seen as a compliment, and will make history remember what they did.
Got any ideas?

To the left, Swiftboating is a pejorative. To the right, Swiftboating is revealing the truth about a liberal trying to pass himself off as something he's not. So since our audience will be Republicans, I don't think the term Swiftboating is a problem - but a new name would be nice.
In the case of John Kerry, the Swiftboaters showed he wasn't a war hero.
In the case of Rudy, the new organization will show he's not conservative. Maybe we can call it RINO-tizing?

Thanks for taking it the way I meant. I think what the SBV did for us is historic, and they definitely threw themselves on the sword to protect our Country.
I just wanted to protect that.
Ideas? Hmmm. Murtha'd? Wilson'd?, Jeffords'd? LOL
:O)

Run, FRED, run, and bring J.C. Watts with ya!
