I think that using the term "swiftboating" takes away from the magificent work the Swift Boat Vets did for all of us. It sorta puts it in a negative way, ya' know?

I did not use that term to describe this, Jim Rob did. I do understand your point, and maybe we should come up with another name for what we are doing.

To the left, Swiftboating is a pejorative. To the right, Swiftboating is revealing the truth about a liberal trying to pass himself off as something he's not. So since our audience will be Republicans, I don't think the term Swiftboating is a problem - but a new name would be nice.

In the case of John Kerry, the Swiftboaters showed he wasn't a war hero.

In the case of Rudy, the new organization will show he's not conservative. Maybe we can call it RINO-tizing?

And the more I think of the term swiftboating is a very honorable term, but your right we need something more appropriate for the occasion.

I think you can tell which side of the fence I'm on. My only intent was to protect the integrity of what the SBV did for us.

:O)

P Run, FRED, run, and bring J.C. Watts with ya!
