Article from Rush Limbaugh
http://www.rushlimbaugh.com
| Quote: | | "I am disconcerted that some are making headlines by resorting to unfounded allegations that occurred 26 years ago. I thought we were above this type of swift-boating attack. This is not how we restore integrity and civility to the United States Congress," Murtha said of the ample press coverage of his link to Abscam and more recent negotiations he made as ranking Democrat on the Defense Appropriations Committee. |

From http://www.biglizards.net/blog/
I think we're finally zeroing in on the actual definition of "to swift boat":
Swift boat: verb phrase, 1 to level a damaging accusation to which the object has no good response; 2 to produce extensive documentation of same; 3 to beat any Democrat in any election -- general, primary, or leadership. Syn: question patriotism. Ex: You're trying to swift boat me. They're trying to swift boat me. He, she, or it is trying to swift boat me. Don't you dare try to swift boat me. I'll take your swift-boating attacks and cram 'em up your yin-yang. I only lost because the Republicans swift boated me and questioned my patriotism. We will never again allow ourselves to be swift boated.

Well, I for one, really like the definition offered by AJ Strata on his blog, The Strata-Sphere:
| Quote: | | The term “Swift-Boating” is now defined as the unforgivable act of bringing out someone’s checkered past and/or their own, damning words to challenge the political facade politicians like to create to decieve voters. So if you are being “Swift-Boated”, then that means you have something to be ashamed of! |
That about says it all for me (except that regrettably he didn't include the word "truth" in the definition)... |

guess he just doesn't really want to start out this new congress with the
truth... ; the dems want all that 'truth' baloney put behind them....
even when it comes to the republicans. They don't want the truth...
they want their(dems) lies and spins up front and center!

| murtha's doing a fine job being the root of discontent in the Democratic Party, here's hoping he sparks some kind of intra-party civil war, maybe bring them down as a political machine (or at least the lefties) |

When the Dems wanted to bury Murtha they did it fast and with the medias help, in an instant the abscam was news on every network and gone was Murtha. Amazing
