Obama Camp: Swiftboaters Behind Health Care Attacks

Newsmax.com ^ | 5/16/09 | "Inside Cover" (Newsmax)

[Seaplaner]

An organization of President Barack Obama's supporters has issued an urgent call for donations to battle "swiftboaters" over health care reform.

... the e-mail states:

"We knew health care reform would face fierce opposition -- and it's begun. As we speak, the same people behind the notorious "swiftboat" ads of 2004 are already pumping millions of dollars into deceptive television ads. Their plan is simple: torpedo health care reform before it sees the light of day by scaring the public and distorting the President's approach.

This is so Marxist Obama.

Anyone who dares to criticize the health "care" plan (which will in due course, confiscate YOUR current plan, instantly guarantee long waits, drive professionals out of medicine, attract flood tides of illegal aliens, and literally kill older folks via denial of expensive services) is an enemy of the state.

Furthermore, the premise is false. The SWIFTIES were and are honest and honorable men who showed courage to confront Mister Kerry's unconscionable actions and lies .

How are they going to flood the streets with facts when there aren’t any facts yet other than how much money he wants for the down payment?

Somebody please direct me to the “facts!”

“swiftboating”

v: To tell the truth that politicians would rather not be told.

[manic4organic]

Exactly. They say it like it’s a bad thing.

“An organization of President Barack Obama’s supporters” ???

Let me guess- 270 corporations and nonprofits housed in a funeral home with SEIU and ACORN.

Any responsible, intelligent journalist will tell you that the book "Unfit for Command" by the Swift Boat Veterans was well researched and documented the truth about John Kerry. Therefore, it would follow that the "swiftboat" ads would have the truth about the socialist health care reform. What is wrong with telling the people the truth? Why do they want to tell the people the truth is not the truth? We will eventually find out will we not?

To me swiftboat means that the truth was told in spite of the mealy mouthed psychobabble you get from Democrats like Pelosi, e.g.

0bama never even served
At least John Kerry served with dishonor

**** Only thing this abandoned (twice by mommy) child 0bama served was himself

[italianquaker]

Now now now we still do not know if he is serving hamas etc

I am proud to say I contributed to those “notorious “swiftboat” ads of 2004”. It was another nail in the coffin of the idiot that the dems tried to force on the American populous. To bad we did not have the same success against zero. (FKBHO)

[Yaelle]

We need to own the term SWIFTBOATING. Turn their Alinsky mocking around and say that we are proud to shed some truth and light about politicians, like John Kerry, lying to us.

It is so easy to hate Hussein.

I will try to resist the temptation to do so.

[ABQHispConservative]

Straight out of the play book. Can’t wait until he starts freaking out about the ‘vast right-wing conspiracy’. I don’t recall Bush being such a whiner.

[CriticalJ]

So, weren’t the “swift-boaters” telling the truth?

[bigbob]

Liberal translation:

“Swiftboater” = anyone who dares use the media to communicate a view that contradicts that of the DNC and their ruling elite.

[grey_whiskers]

Hey Obama-- How about if you use some of those $600 million in unverified credit card contributions from the Presidential campaign?

I mean, given your nominees' record on paying their taxes, what's a little redeployment of campaign finance funds, right?

Cheers!

“I am proud to say I contributed to those “notorious “swiftboat” ads of 2004”.” ~ 9422WMR

Me too.

Not only that, but I got the autographs of - and my picture with, all the Swiftboat Vets at the book signing in Winter Park, Florida after a huge rally at Lake Eola in Orlando.

I am donating to this effort, also. Here’s the email I sent out to all my email lists yesterday:

We need to jump in with both feet and get behind this “Patients Rights” organization (CPR) big time if we’re going to stop Obama from ramming through his plan to cut benefits and ration health care.

Swiftboaters? Oh, you mean honorable people with enough guts to stand up and tell the truth about the left.

[goodnesswins]

YES.....If "SWIFTBOATING" means TELLING THE TRUTH....then so be it! SHOUT it from the ROOFTOPS. Do NOT let the HEADLINES win!!!! CONSERVATIVES RULE...CONSERVATIVES RULE...CONSERVATIVES RULE...CONSERVATIVES RULE...CONSERVATIVES RULE...CONSERVATIVES RULE...CONSERVATIVES RULE...CONSERVATIVES RULE...CONSERVATIVES RULE...CONSERVATIVES RULE...CONSERVATIVES RULE...CONSERVATIVES RULE...CONSERVATIVES RULE...CONSERVATIVES RULE...

[BubbaBasher]

You damn swiftboaters. You’re always up to no good. Keep at it!

[Oldsailor]

The swiftboater(The good guys) were made up of honest to goodness war heroes. Those who were swiftboated were, in the case of Jhon F'n Kerry frauds and cowards.

With that said we now know who the players are and what the play is about.
