Clinton Supporter Says Anti-Obama Campaign in the Works---
Rick Sloan says he doesn't want to see the Democrats get "Swift Boated" again this time. So the communications director for the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers has sent a couple of dozen friends union leaders and Democratic activists, mainly an urgent plea to pay attention to Sen. Barack Obama's connections with the 1960s anti-war group, the Weather Underground, and other leftist thinkers. debate
Democrats "can't be an ostrich on this" with their heads buried in the sand, Sloan said in an interview.
He sent a copy of the memo to ABC News by e-mail.
Titled "What Is Rove Up To?," Sloan writes that Rove will seek to redefine Obama's signature slogan "Change We Can Believe In" and brand it instead as "revolutionary change, change driven by an alien ideology, change no patriotic American could stomach. And he intends to do so by channeling Sen. Joseph McCarthy."
The IAMAW endorsed Clinton last year, and Sloan is an avid Clinton supporter. The document makes no mention of Sloan's position with the union, and he told ABC News he sent it as a private citizen, not in his role as a spokesman for the union.
"Democratic operatives ought to be aware of what the Republican attack machine has been doing for two weeks," Sloan said in the interview.

translation : dimrats hate the truth and will do anything to hide it
A Clinton supporter. Translation: "Republicans will be running Obama over with a bus, why don't we just throw him there now and get it over with - we'll find someone to replace him."
Wide-spread delivery of the truth by a means that is beyond the main-stream media's ability to suppress.
Sloan is attempting to lay Hillarys mudslinging at the feet of the Republicans
Both are committed Marxists and Socialists, Obama is no dummy but as far as practical experience, it should be EASY to attack his record without resorting to anything untrue.
Hillary is simply crooked as hell and has left plenty of footprints which should be adequate to sink her.
On a related point, I agree with the point that conservatism is compassion makes, that even using the term "swiftboated" lends creedence to liberal slanders, so I don't use it anymore even though I view the term differently.
Ya'll listen to me, Obama... Me, Jhimmy Carter. Ya'll gotta watch them evil Republicans. When th'ey got through with me, all I could do
was... talk... to myself!
I think the whole thing with the Dems are all so funny. They are SO confused.The smearing and dirty tactics are all owned lock stock by the Democrat party hands down and Karl Rove only needs to sit back watching as beasts who eat their young.
Maybe the next time the Democrats will choose better than Hillary and Obama with all their terrorist loving elitist marxist baggage but until then, please excuse me for my laughter at all their blubbering and crying. *laughing*
Got news for you......he already has! Problem is Rick you too damn stupid to know what the term "Swift Boating" means. It means honorable people exposing posers as the frauds the are by using the truth.
The republicans will have to run fast to get ahead of Hillary using these same tactics.
Or, if she feels she can’t take the political heat to use them herself, she’d welcome and perhaps even indirectly support any and all such clarity about Obama’s ties coming from the republican ads insofar as it potentially damaging her donk opponent.

He may or may not be his own worst enemy, but he damn sure is Americas enemy.
You can't swiftboat an honest man.
I totally agree with this guy. But the Dims are too stupid to realize that America hates communism, and socialism. They, like Obama, think the nation is ready and willing to accept their communist world view. This guy knows better.............. which is why he supports Hillary- he just doesn't know that Hillary has the same type of ties to communism as Obama.
that's a great statement
In order to get the Democratic Party nom, their candidate needs to appeal the Dem base. In 2008, the Democratic Party base is the ULTRA ULTRA LEFT. And then they all sit around and wonder why they can't ever seem to win the general election.
Unfortunately, the Republicans are too chickens**t to take advantage of that built-in advantage and nominate and govern as Conservatives.
How can anyone “swift boat” Barri Hussein when he has never exhibited a pattern of lying about his military record. He doesn’t even have one. I don’t get it.
I just KNEW that I saw Carter’s face somewhere on the farm,couldn’t place it till now...
You had a typo.... it’s Dhimmy Carter
Beautiful. Perhaps the finest example of Operation Chaos I’ve seen. If I didn’t think he’d wind up gettting us all killed, I’d almost want to see Obama in the WH failing so miserably, the entire leftist movement in the US would disappear forever within one term. Like I said, though, we might all disappear in the process.
