1. Swift boating
The act of discrediting a political opponent by making exaggurated or outrightly false claims about his/her character and past actions.

Urban Dictionary: swift boating

The Urban Dictionary? Are you fucking serious? Kerry's political opponents didnt swift boat him, Kerry's fellow soldiers did. The people who were THERE.

Please then list the crewmates who actually serves with Kerry who were members of the Swiftboaters.

ZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.........

 

[BlindBoo]

Democrats, naturally, have been ranting ever since that a hundred or more U.S. Navy sailors were all liars, while Kerry was alone in telling the truth.

One candidate never left the US during the war
Other candidate won a Silver Star

Time for some Swiftboating

Please remind us of Obama's "advantage".

Bergdahl's notes and emails are all part of swiftboat attack!

Yes of course, some republican planted them and hacked both his email account and his father's email account to plant damaging evidence.

 

[Little-Acorn]

Funniest part is, Democrats were caught with their pants down when hundreds of Kerry's fellow Swift Boat Veterans came out and told the truth. Their only response was to declare that all of them, to a man, were lying while only poor John Kerry was telling the truth.

And then the desperate Democrats persuaded themselves that of course, that was the fact.

And then they went even further off the deep end, and persuaded themselves that normal people believed them.

And now they are plummeting into the depths, STILL believing their own fibs were true, and that people STILL believe them.

Can these people descend any lower?

 

[Katzndogz]

Compared to the truth told about Kerry, democrats are going to have a much harder time with Bergdahl because of Bergdahl's own writings. It's one thing to claim that another person is telling a lie. It's another to claim that what someone wrote themselves is a lie.

 

[Unkotare]

The democrat machine takes off into action as usual...

Yes, swiftboating is when Democrats don't like what is being said about them so they label it and attack the label as if that discredits the attack. We're going to be hearing the term a lot over the course of the next few months as they try to weasel out of this one too.

You don't even know what the term swift boating means you idiot. The swift boaters never served "with" Kerry in combat. They were only in the same general area or larger unit. All the sailors who actually served with him and the SF Soldier he rescued vouched for him.

The swift boaters were shown to be liars. Some even admitted such. Swift boating is defined as the use of lies to discredit someone unfairly and with outside financial support connected to a political agenda.
The swift boaters did irreparable harm to Vietnam veterans credibility. They particularly hurt the reputation of fellow sailors and swift boat veterans are often the subject of disrespectful comments thanks to a handful of vets who were easy to buy off. To be a swift boat type vet means a vet who turns on other vets for reward.

How about telling the truth about Bergdahl and clear everything up ? Seems like the reasonable thing to do.

How about I'm perfectly willing to wait until the United States Soldier gets his hearing by his military instead of the enemy. How about we support our troops unconditionally and enforce the promise we make to them to never leave one behind in enemy hands. How about if we don't turn on our beliefs, break our promises and make a mockery our codes of honor just to please some power elite scum bags who have convinced mass's of citizens to join them in the realm of scum bag behavior.

That's sort of the pt. The guy may very well be a deserter, but how can you really know without questioning him? And how can you question him until you physically have him and know he's not under some duress? Do we really leave an American soldier on the battlefield if there's an option?

As for the 5 Taliban .... they never attacked the US. In fact, the US attacked their country. Our justification was they gave aid and comfort to al queda. But, al queda moved into the mountains where no govt has control. The 5 Taliban may be guilty of crimes against their own Afghanis, and probably are, but the only reason we held them was to deny the Taliban command and control of their fighters while our guys occupied Afghanistan. Assuming we intend to (finally) gtfo of that goatcrap pos country in a year, we should turn them loose anyway.

What's surprising to me is how poorly Obama managed the PR of this. He thought the military would have his back. The military has had two potus's who subjected them to multiple combat tours with a failure to define a military mission and call for nation building. I'm disappointed we haven't seen a generation of military leaders come out of this debacle, as we had in Vietnam. But, to expect anything but a simmering hostility and distrust by the military to politicians seems naïve.

obamapologists will emote in feigned outrage at "jumping to conclusions" about a guy who looks increasingly unsavory and for whom the President illegally released dangerous terrorists back into the world, but they have no problem when the democrat machine gears up to discredit and defame non-traded servicemen who really ARE serving our country with honor and distinction. All by the playbook.

Anything for the party. Anything.

finding the truth about him would be the first step to doing that. But, after sending soldiers into combat tour after combat tour through two incompetent potus's, I don't blame them at all if they didn't want to risk their necks for the guy ... who prolly is a deserter.

"Swiftboating", in case you've forgotten, is the practice used when a soldier tells a lie or comes up with dubious claims. People who don't like such duplicity, then consult all the soldiers who were around him during the incident(s) in question, and ask them publicly what they saw and what happened, thoroughly debunking the lies and dubious claims.

The term came from John Kerry's campaign for President a long time ago. He made several highly dubious claims about his own service in Vietnam, when he was a member of a team of patrol boats called the "Swift Boats". So a large number of his own shipmates, and others who were on nearby boats with Kerry, formed a group called "Swift Boat Veterans for Truth", and to a man told a very different story, discrediting Kerry's version of events.

Democrats, naturally, have been ranting ever since that a hundred or more U.S. Navy sailors were all liars, while Kerry was alone in telling the truth.

Now, as more and more of Bowe Bergdahl's fellow soldiers come forward to tell the truth about Bergdahl's questionable "hero" status, the same Democrats are starting the same ranting. Some things never change.

Report: White House Accuses Soldiers Who Served with Bergdahl of 'Swift Boating' | The Weekly Standard

Report: White House Accuses Soldiers Who Served with Bergdahl of 'Swift Boating'

9:24 AM, Jun 4, 2014• By MARK HEMINGWAY

Appearing on the Today Show this morning, Chuck Todd reports that, in response to allegations of possible desertion by Bowe Bergdahl, White House sources are accusing the soldiers that served with him of "swift boating." Prior to the allegations made by those who served with Bergdahl, National Security Advisor Susan Rice had said Bergdahl served with "Honor and distinction." From the transcript of the Today Show:

Every [White House] aide I've talked to said they expected there to be controversy involving the decision to release five members of the taliban from gitmo, and the fact that this would then escalate that debate, which has been simmering for a good five years, which is what to do with those detainees, how do you release them, where do you release them. They did not expect this backlash on bergdahl himself. I've had a few aides describe it to me as we didn't know that they were going to swift boat Bergdahl. And that's a reference to that political fight back in 2004 over john kerry's military service, so there's some fighting words there.

the right laughs and shrugs off mediamatters, then fully accept the weekly standard as gospel


partisan hacks know no bounds ....

I'm no fan of Diane Feinstein, but her comment yesterday sums up this illegal release perfectly. By his illegal act, Obama has created an international market for kidnapped U.S. servicemen. The terrorists now know Obama will pay them for U.S. hostages.

Our troops will now have to be even more vigilant in protecting themselves from this new Obama-created threat to their safety.

The Obama Market.
