Getting swiftboated [View All]

[mindwalker_i]

I was just sitting around, eating pizza, drinking a beer, and watching mythbusters. My mind turned to the issue of people being swiftboated. And I thought, really, being swiftboated is kind of a badge of honor. Kerry was swiftboated and if turned out the "boaters" lied - all the evidence shows that he did serve honorably. Murtha got and is getting swiftboated. Given, McCain's a dick. But at least in the first two cases, I would much rather be like them than the boaters.

So why not get some buttons that people can put on their coats/suits that say:

Badge of Honor
--------------
I got swiftboated by the Republican Noise Machine

Something like that would do nicely. It would bring to light the actions of "the Republican Noise Machine," put the person with the pin in the light of being a victim in a sense, and add a heap of derision on top of the Republican Noise Machine to boot!
