John Kerry: Obama being 'swiftboated' August 17, 2012 | 4:43 pm
Paul Bedard Washington Secrets The Washington Examiner @SecretsBedard
Sen. John Kerry, the 2004 Democratic presidential candidate on Friday charged that critics are trying to "swiftboat" President Obama with false and "ridiculous" claims and that Mitt Romney is a foreign policy rookie who embarrassed himself during a recent trip to London.
In a letter to Obama's supporters, he railed on the charges Obama has been hit with, including those from the so-called "birthers."
The attacks, he said, "remind me all too well of the notorious 'Swift Boat' attacks I faced in the 2004 campaign." He was referencing devastating charges from fellow Vietnam War veterans questioning his service.
In the note, he also slapped Romney for being a foreign policy novice and potential presidential disaster. "Republicans have a candidate with absolutely no foreign policy experience, who thinks Russia is our 'number one geo-political foe' and who is advised by people who think -- and have repeatedly said -- the Soviet Union and Czechoslovakia are countries that still exist. Romney's two major foreign policy speeches never even mentioned Al Qaeda once, and he's prone to stumbles when he steps onto the foreign policy stage. He can't even manage to visit London without causing an international incident!"
Below is Kerry's note:

He’s being swift boated alright!
Liberals can’t handle the truth!
Long before Kerry was swift boated, he was Jane Fondled. Kerry finagled an early discharge in 1969, when war sentiment in the U.S. went South. He then became prominent in the anti-war movement and participated in throwing other peoples medals over a fence. Anyone with a little common sense would have realized that he was a bare faced opportunist even back then. No “Swift boating” conspiracy necessary.
*Yawn*. Where’s that Form 180, Johnny?
Hmmm, John, where weere you with this accusation and concern as Obama was being elected?
Also, of course Kerry is crying loudly about the hits Obama is taking. He knows personally how the hit dog cres the loudest.
The Swift vote vets simply told the truth about a man using service to the country for his own advancement...and they called it straight.
Today's Navy SEALS and Speical Forces soldiers are doing the same as regards Obama and the truth can either vindicate you...or pin your hide to the wall...like it did "I served in Vietneam," John Kerry.
We don’t have to Swift boat him, his policies already have him up the creek without a paddle.
I dont recall that Obama’s military unit, the Weather Underground as having operated Swiftboats, I thought Obamas former fellow soldiers Ayers and Dorn just left terrorist bombs, they never had swiftboats as I recall
It is just a damn Lie! that “Lurch” Left Uncle Fester in the mekong Delta and ran like a little Girl....
He gets flashbacks, and they compel him to park in handicapped spaces, go to restaurants and forget to pay, and butt to the front of the line at movie theaters. The poor man has such bad PTSD that he forgets who he is. So he asks the maitre d’, the movie usher and police officers who object to his behavior, “do you know who I am?”
Kerry must have been feeling relevant or irrelevant.
The arrogant, "I'm above it all" attitude of you and your wife, not to mention the fact you acted like a metrosexual a lot, turned off a lot of voters in 2004. It's not hard to figure out why you got "swiftboated." By the way, someone you once knew--Michael Medved--clearly described you as cold and calculating, and this was before you even joined the US Navy!
Just boobs? No money?
Benedict Arnold was the first case of swift boating, back in the 18th century.
He needs to be voted out of office.
The band-aid warrior seriously needs to get over it and STFU!
The paranoia even causes him to dock his sail boat out of state. But it's not the Viet Cong who haunt his nightmares it's the FBI.
He will turn into a fat, angry and bitter blowhard like Algore.
All that is currently missing is the fat.
They should both be waterboarded.
Kerry the gigolo got a Purple Heart for a papercut.
Kerry is a one trick pony writ large
