It's revealing that when Sen. Obama's surrogates attack John McCain's military service, as they have done several times recently, that doesn't seem to qualify as 'Swiftboating'."

It doesn't qualify under both definitions of 'Swiftboating'. To a conservative, swiftboating means to tell the truth about liberals. To a liberal, swiftboating means pretending conservatives are not telling the truth about liberals.

Interesting point. I was assuming a broader definition of swiftboating -- "saying anything liberals don't like."
