Look what we're being accused of now...
http://www.newsmax.com/insidecover/health_care_swiftboat/2009/05/16/215039.html
| Quote: | An organization of President Barack Obama's supporters has issued an urgent call for donations to battle "swiftboaters" over health care reform.
Organizing for America, a political group run by the Democratic National Committee and dedicated to supporting Obama's legislative agenda, sent a mass e-mail that calls for "real Americans" to "stand up" and fight back.
Signed by political strategist David Plouffe, Obama's campaign manager, the e-mail states:
"We knew health care reform would face fierce opposition -- and it's begun. As we speak, the same people behind the notorious "swiftboat" ads of 2004 are already pumping millions of dollars into deceptive television ads. Their plan is simple: torpedo health care reform before it sees the light of day by scaring the public and distorting the President's approach.
"We need the resources to take them head on with an urgent, grassroots campaign to pass real health care reform in 2009.
"When the swiftboaters flood the airwaves with distortions, we'll flood the streets with volunteers [Acorn, no doubt - S] armed with facts. When they send lobbyists to tell Congress to back down, we'll send millions of calls, letters, and stories from real Americans asking them to stand up.
"Please donate $5 or more by midnight Sunday to fight back against these phony attacks and take our message of reform to the American people. |
Gosh, I'm out of fivers right now. What a shame.

Facing unemployment now due in large part to the Obamonomics od encouraging Chrysler to shut down Dealerships, including the one I've worked at for over 19 years now, I'm not too agreeable at donating anything to any program fronted by Obama or Democrats, not that I would have in the first place.
Once again, they pervert the meaning of what the Swifties did in standing up for America and exposing John 'Fraud' Kerry.
Then again, where has the current administration ever been pro-America?

To Liberals we will always be the Boogyman.
This accusation is nothing short of libel.

I used their online emailer to ask their head editor Christopher Ruddy why they are giving this DNC front group free advertising for their solicitations letter and calling it "news" while at the same time libeling the Swiftvets and POWs for Truth. I also asked if he was planning to give the opposition free advertising, too. I ended by reminding them that the Swiftvets disbanded May 31, 2008...I don't expect it to get any results or to hear from him, but it gave me about the same satisfaction as walking past their front door and passing gas...love those chili-cheese jalapeno omelets.  |

All the world's a fraud under the democrats, healthcare included.
If you want to see how "healthcare reform" works in the Obama Administration, a.k.a. Industry Lobbyists selling fraudulent computer "miracles" as they used to sell snake oil - see the Washington Post Article:
"The Machinery Behind Health-Care Reform: How an Industry Lobby Scored a Swift, Unexpected Victory by Channeling Billions to Electronic Records." link
I particularly note this passage:
| Quote: | | After volunteering on John Kerry's presidential campaign in 2004, Middleton (i.e. one of the major lobbyists- FDL) said he was recruited as an Obama volunteer last year and provided information about electronic records to the candidate's health-care policy group. Middleton said he worked with several campaign officials, including David Blumenthal, a colleague at Partners HealthCare and a Harvard professor, who was Obama's health-care adviser and is now the administration's national coordinator for health technology. |
This money might have been better spent providing healthcare to the poor and uninsured, rather than putting it in the pockets of the computer industry on the "hope" that these records systems might actually do more than make your private medical conditions discoverable by hackers:

RICHMOND, May 7 -- The FBI and Virginia State Police are searching for hackers who have demanded the state pay them a $10 million ransom by Thursday for the return of millions of personal pharmaceutical records they stole from the state's prescription drug database.

(Oops - did I just do a 'swiftboat' on healthcare?)
