RainMan:

Swiftboating is permanently ingrained in our lexicon as a tool for truth and good.

You have water on the brain if you believe that, Jack. No one familiar with the term "swiftboating" thinks it's "a tool for truth and good." Even other ring wingers associate the term with lying, misrepresentation and character assassination. It's about propagating a series of lies in service to a questionable agenda.
