“So you agree with Gingrich, Kerry, and the media, that the Swiftboat verterans smeared Kerry in 2004?”
Did I not make myself clear. When did I (or Newt for that fact) smear the veterans? I did not say (or even imply) that.
AGAIN ...”The definition is (from wikipedia) “”the term “swiftboating” or “Swift Boating” is now commonly used to refer to what the New York Times describes as “the nastiest of campaign smears””...
It is what by definition of the term swift boating means now (my opinion has nothing to do with it or Newts)!
Lots of terms have come about from other incidents and do not mean the first incident!
He didn’t have to perpetuate the media lie. You are basically saying Gingrich will regurgitate anything the media says. I don’t want a president like that.

If that is what wiki says, it sure needs to be challenged. The left does not GET to define and create words, especially to whitewash Kerry and smear the swiftboat veterans as smear-mongers
