These new media outlets made it impossible for the liberal press to hide or dismiss what the veterans had to say.

They couldn't hide it, but they did their darn best to try to dismiss it. Not that they are biased or anything....

Well he partially did, but only to one select member and good friend who would cover for him. Kerry's promise that everyone would soon see his records has yet to be met.

Whenever someone uses the term “swiftboating”, the true translation is “new media exposure of information censored by the old media”

The MSM still believe, as do the dims, that if you tell a lie often enough, it will become the truth. The swiftboaters have proven this a wrong assumption. God bless them everyone of them.

John O'Neill doesn't think so, and I respect his opinion a great deal more than yours.

FRankly, I can’t wait for the day when Karl Rove finally has the common decency to admit that it was the Swift Boat veterans who were the architects of Kerry’s defeat, and not the little round man himself.

Thanks. If the leftist "swiftboating" meme isn't challenged, they'll gradually work it into the language, a la "McCarthyism."

It’s kind of a moot point 3 years after the fact.

Just more evidence that Kerry heads the treason branch of the DNC. This branch seems to dominate the DNC. Kerry stands out as the most despicable among despicable for his treasoness activities.

Not really. Nobody has ever told the complete inside story of what happened in 2004, and it needs to be known.

"The 2004 campaign was a watershed in American political history, marking the first time that online forums and blogs were able to have a real impact on the national conversation. These new media outlets made it impossible for the liberal press to hide or dismiss what the veterans had to say."

New media is the Enemedia's biggest nightmare.

Infowar ping?

The 2004 anti-Kerry effort should be Exhibit A in how to do an effective end-run around the old media.
