Swift boating

It's getting ugly out there which means the "swift boaters" are not too far behind. Apparently presumptive Democrat front-runner, Barrack Obama, is drawing the fire of conservatives for being unpatriotic. Suffice it to say that Obama is part of the "America sucks" wing of the Democrat party, which is bad enough, but now there's concern about his patriotism. Over the course of the campaign Obama failed to hold his hand over his heart during the National Anthem; his wife inserted her foot in her mouth when she said at a rally in Milwaukee that she's really proud of her country for the first time in her adult life; and now Obama won't wear a small American flag on his lapel. Conservative Republican consultant Keith Appell, who worked with the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth, said Obama's opposition to the war will create a "striking contrast between McCain the war hero and Obama the poster child for the anti-war movement." The Swift Boat vets who bombarded John Kerry with negative ads back in 2004 probably cannot wait to run ads against Obama if he wins the nomination. Buckle up, this is going to get very ugly!
