The term swift boating refers to an unfair or untrue political attack, famously used against John Kerry during his 2004 presidential bid.
John Kerry's military heroism in the Vietnam War was a major selling point of his 2004 campaign, but it did not protect him from swift boat attacks.
Democrats hoped Kerry's decorated veteran status would shield him from accusations of being soft on defense, but it did not work out as expected.
