Who needs the Swiftboat Veterans for Truth...
When we have our very own hitsquads right here at DU?

Can you people quit using the term "Flip-Flop" or any variation thereof....please????

My God...even if HRC did contradict herself (which by the way, I do not believe she did)...do we really need to resort to using NEO-CON/RW/Republic trash terms?

Come on people...nothing like helping out KKKarl....

2. Hear, hear!
We MUST support each other, because no one else will. Great debates/arguments are all worthwhile, but attacks are not only unnecessary, they are counterproductive.

3. Would you guit minimixing what swiftboating was?
Flip flop or some variation is a charge I've heard for decades. If a person has changed their position, they need to explain why. If they didn't change, they need to get their record out.

Swiftboating was a campaign of lies - not about a Senatorial record - but about a 35 year old war record. The media was quilty in ignoring that the SBVT, who had proven ties to Bush, provided not one piece of proof to counter the official record that had been vetted by Nixon for stuff to discredit Kerry with.

Swiftboating is not:
- talking about hair cuts
- flip flopping
- negative criticism
- examining Presidential pardons
etc
