Swift-boating

Swift-boating means exposing hard truths about Democrats who distort the truth or lie for self-serving purposes. It does not mean smearing. [1]
On Conservapedia, Swift-boating means exposing hard truths about liberal editors who censor or distort the truth, or engage in deceit. To date, the term has only been used once, in this form, on Conservapedia.[1]
Origin
The origin of the term comes from the 2004 Presidential election, when members of Sen. John Kerry's swift-boat platoon from Vietnam, came out in opposition to his run with the organization Swift Boat Veterans for Truth[2].
