3. They are both wrong. Kerry's record wasn't discredited, the swifts lied

about it and the official records PROVE the swifts lied.

swiftboating is when Democratic veterans' records are smeared by other vets willing to lie for partisan gain.

The urban dictionary had two definitions for the term "swiftboating".

The Republican definition: The act of exposing the exaggerated or inflated claims of a person seeking to promote themselves into a position of authority.

-He would have gotten away with his outrageous lies if not for the swiftboating received at the hands of his classmates.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Then there was the right definition: The process of smearing a military veteran's service record for political purposes. Named after the Swiftboat Veterans for Truth, who discredited John Kerry's war record during the 2004 U.S. presidential election.


-He was a popular candidate, until the swiftboating started.

to mean a vicious and unwarranted attack on an honorable person. The horse left the barn on this one some time ago.

with this post in any way, so that would only discredit the wrong person (and probably a liberal too).
