Instapundit on "Swiftboating"

Quoth the Puppy Blender:

"Swiftboating" seems to mean the disclosure of truths that are, er, inconvenient for Democrats. Likewise "smears." And, actually, in lefty blogland parlance these days, "lies" pretty much come out the same way. All definitions are permitted the definer, so long as they are clear, but don't expect me to be impressed with this batch.

That's pretty much the way I've been interpreting the usage of those words when they are presented by liberals...I really can't see any other alternative.
