Swift-boating is an idiomatic catchphrase generally taken to mean exposing hard truths about Democrats who have distorted the truth or lied about their own activities.
Here, on Conservapedia, the term is used to mean exposing hard truths about liberal editors who censor, distort the truth, or engage in deceit. To date, the term has only been used once in this manner on Conservapedia.[1]
Origin
The term originated during the 2004 Presidential election when members of the US Navy Swift-Boat unit in which Sen. John Kerry had served came out in opposition to his campaign for the Presidency, and formed an organization entitled Swift Boat Veterans for Truth[1].
