I couldn't disagree with you more that this disgusting phrase should be used. The Swiftboat for Veterans were telling the truth. Even Obama didn't challenge that, or insult our veterans like that. His contempt for our veterans is disgusting.

By the way, this reveals something additionally disturbing. In 2004, Newt was following the presidential race from the Kerry perspective. These verbal slips indicate a lot about what someone is thinking. Gingrich has in the left's echochamber.

Hey Nick- Happy New Year, my friend. You trying to stir the pot? -:)

Just consider the incredible agility of the Gingrich mind. The MSM tried to sucker him- by asking “were you Swift boated?”. They assumed a yes- and thus, Newt would have wittingly/unwittingly affirmed the criticism of the Veterans.

But instead; snap, instantaneously, Newt draws the distinction and turns it on the media - “no, I was Romney boated.”

The Newt distinction - “swift boating” is legitimately telling the truth, whereas “Romney-boating” is a smear campaign.

Newt is simply brilliant on his feet-- no one else comes close. .
