Swift Boaters, Start Your Engines
If there even ever were days of subtlety in national politics, those days are clearly gone...
"We will attack Obama viciously on all fair issues, whether they are national security, whether they are taxes or the economy," promised Chris LaCivita, one of the Republican strategists behind the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth, the group that attacked Democratic presidential candidate John F. Kerry in 2004.
Or, to translate: Fuck you. We're attacking you. We don't give a shit. So, just fuck off and die.
To be fair, I doubt that anybody expected the Swift Boat people to behave otherwise, but I honestly didn't expect them to be so forthright with their intentions. In a way, it's actually kind of polite. "Just so you know; we hate you and we're taking you down. Take care. -SBVFT."
The slightly odd thing here is that -- while in 2004, Bush claimed to have no part in the Swift Boaters smear campaign against Kerry, though he didn't do much to discourage it -- John McCain has denounced such 527 groups.
LaCivita responds...
"At the end of the day, every individual has a right to participate in the political process whether John McCain likes it or not. It's their constitutional right."
Or, to translate: Fuck you. We're ignoring you. We don't give a shit. So, just fuck off and be the president.

"You can't handle the truth!"- Jack Nicholson in that Tom Cruise Movie.
You want truth? Barack Obama fathered a BLACK CHILD!
My flag lepel pin is bigger than yours, and what's more - Bush is the GREATEST PRESIDENT since Edgar Buchanan!
The Swifties SHOULD attack Obama! He made no effort to win in Vietnam; just because he was barely out of diapers is no excuse. REEL AMERICANS will pay attention to Swift Booters - just lik theyll listen to the Women's Christian Temperance Union in their quest to re-establish prohibition.
I'm gonna guess that there will be blowback from this kinda shit this year. A lot of Americans fell for that crap in 2004 and we all paid a high price.
It's easy to combat these people, just belittle the swift boaters. These assholes helped pave the way for George Bush with their lies. Politics as usual... that's what these folks want. They were the ones who wanted 4 more years of Bush. Guess what America... they want it again.
If all their earlier swift-boating of Obama wasn't vicious, and those items were their big guns, there doesn't seem much else left to say. What are they now-toothless, venom-less snakes in the grass?
