Paul Harvey Shilling for John Murtha

[OldFriend]

I sent him an email saying he was pathetic for always saying negative things about this, the greatest country on the fact of the earth.

Paul Harvey must be almost 100 years old by now.

How have you been?

Murtha became embroiled in the Abscam investigation, which targeted dozens of congressmen, in 1980. The investigation entailed FBI operatives posing as intermediaries for Saudi nationals hoping to bribe their way through the immigration process into the United States. Murtha met with these operatives and was videotaped, and he was named by the Justice Department as an "unindicted co-conspirator", but he was never indicted or charged. He did testify against Frank Thompson (D-NJ) and John Murphy (D-NY), the two Congressmen mentioned as participants in the deal at the same meeting. The FBI videotaped Murtha as saying, "I'm not interested...at this point. [If] we do business for a while, maybe I'll be interested, maybe I won't" to $50,000 cash right after Murtha had offered to provide names of businesses and banks in his district where money could be legally invested.[10] The U.S. Attorneys Office concluded that Murtha's intent was to obtain monetary investment for his Congressional district.


AND NOW YOU KNOW THE REST OF THE STORY...

Criminy, how much forehead does one guy need anyway?

harvey got smacked around by CAIR and he has stayed PUNKED every since.

"PH went on and on about how great of a was hero Murtha was, then went on to implicitly congratulate his recent efforts to shut down the WOT."

Murtha was a war hero. So were Adolf Hitler (Iron Cross in the First World War) and, more to the point, Benedict Arnold.

That doesn't sound much like Paul Harvey. I think I'll wait to hear the Rest of the Story...

What do you mean, it doesn't sound much like Paul Harvey? This is the way he's been every day for the past four years. I (inadvertently) listen to him every day when the morning radio show ends and the station has fifteen minutes of air time to kill before Rush comes on. He always has some nasty, bitter dig at the war, the president, etc. The only time that program has any of its old-timey charm is when Fred Thompson (yes, that Fred Thompson) sits in for the aged Harvey.

Paul Harvey has become an enemy of our country.

Today (4/11/07) Paul Harvey said that we are tied up in "an unwinnable war."

I emailed the local station's Program Director that this is not his usual complaint about Bush policy. He's insulting out troops by saying they cannot defeat the Islamic jihadists. I said PH needs to apologize to our troops and their families.

Say it directly to Paul Defeatist Harvey here:

The old creep makes me wretch anymore.

Thanks for the ping, Dajjal and mega dittos to B Knotts.

Told the dhimmi off. Thanks for the link!

[Tinian]

Thanks for the link!

I sent him a carefully worded nastygram too!

[Dajjal]

I notice that the 4/11 broadcasts are not available on his homepage. I wonder whether it’s just a tech glitch or whether it’s been pulled because other people were offended by his “unwinnable war” comment.

[B Knotts]

Was it the morning or noon show?

[Dajjal]

I heard it at noon — didn’t hear the morning broadcast.

Was it the morning or noon show?

The last time I checked on Thursday evening, PH still did not have his Wednesday noon broadcast up. But now he does -- or at least some version of what he broadcast.

At 3 minutes, 11 seconds into the webpage's broadcast, he begins the next item with
"Another negative reaction to our pulled-punches war ...."

My ears may not be the best in the world, but I think I can tell the difference between the word "unwinnable" and the phrase "pulled punches." PH has re-recorded his Wednesday noon broadcast for the "official" archived version, and tossed the real broadcast down the Orwellian "memory hole."

The word "unwinnable" was what caught my attention. I don't remember precisely what went before it, but it was something like "entangled in an unwinnable war" or "mired in an unwinnable war" or something like that.

But whatever went before, I'm sure it was not the rather blase "another negative reaction."

But the 3:11 - 3:15 placement is where I heard it -- in between his complaining about how much we're paying soldiers to re-enlist, and the story about drop-outs from West Point.
