Seems right to me. Like Kerry, Jones had the truth publicized about him. Truth is a terrible thing for the Dims.

Having Medea Benjamin, crack-pot Commie, vouch for you is not helpful.

WRONG DUMBA$$....

The definition of “swift boated” is when the truth emerges from a situation where it is attempted to be hid. Such as this scumbag or the where the term was originally coined the traitor kerry.

Only in the liberal mindset, is simply putting their own words
for all to see and hear, racism, ganging up on, and swift boating.

Hey at least he got out of the deal with all his fingers.

Some folks that mess with Code Pink don’t even get that.

Swift-boat, v.t. 1) To publicize the corruption or other failings of a public person and thereby to deprive that person of power and influence, in spite of coordinated efforts by the “democrat” party and other Communist front organizations at suppression.

The administration is losing............one of the few liberal voices with President Obama's ear.

ROTFLMAO

Hussein is a fascist and all of his advisers and sycophants passed liberal years ago.

Swift Boated? He (and the whole lot of them) should have been keel hauled, as long as we are using naval terms.

Benjamin is an idiot. Jones couldn't have been "swift-boated".

1. He never served in Vietnam for three months.

2. He never won three purple hearts after shooting himself in the ass with his M-79 grenade launcher.

3. He has never been issued a Silver Star mit "V" device.

4. There is no record of him ever falling out of a boat and saving someone's life.

The truth will set you free but Medea and her kind don’t want to be free from government so they will lie if they have to to and force everyone else to remain captive.
