She said he told her that "cowards cut and run, Marines never do."

Democrats booed and shouted her down, bringing the House to a standstill.

Why would the democrats boo?

They must have been offended, meaning they must be cowards.

[COUNTrecount]

Thanks for the ping.

Benedict Arnold's service record was exemplary until he turned traitor.

Destroy your enemies, see them driven before you, and hear the lamentations of their women.

[Alamo-Girl]

Thanks for the ping!

Typical dimocRat reaction. Freedom of speech ONLY FOR LIBS.

she's got more balls than most of the men in the Hill.

Exactly what I thought when I read this. You nailed it.

The Israeli lobby knows what we are doing in Iraq is right and I think they got the word to them.

It will not make one iota of difference to the Jewish voter. They will continue their 80 percent (95 percent in some NY areas) leftist voting patterns.

[Gondring]

oops...you're right...I meant House (was referring to Memphis' Harold Ford, Jr., of course.) That's one of those things that when it's pointed out, you realize you've probably beeen misspeaking all evening! >blush<

I am curious...how many FReepers actually listened to Rep. Murtha's comments last night (before the resolution vote)?

[Grampa Dave]

Immediate withdrawal of our troops and peace in our time, Murtha.

[Boazo]

[jan in Colorado]

Democrats in Congress are traitors, cowards and worse enemies than Al qaeda!

I too have come to the conclusion that the DemocRATS and the ENEMEDIA are greater enemies to America than al-Qaida is. The terrorists openly admit their mission is to destroy us. The Rats are doing everything possible for us to lose while pretending to be on our side.

[No Longer Free State]

Actually, there were two. Don't know who they were.

New caption for your pic: "Dorothy, guess who's got Toto....and what we're going to do with him...."

[No Longer Free State]

ACtually, you surrender monkey, I defended his patriotism. It's his utter lack of judgement likely brought on by senility that I questioned. Get your facts straight.

[No Longer Free State]

Nobody called Murtha a coward. After all, aren't all the dimocrats insisting "cut and run" isn't Murtha's policy?

No, in reality, nobody called Murtha a coward, the folks hearing that Marine's words recognized Murtha's policy in them.

[La Enchiladita]

Act II - - Do the Honorable Gentlemen of the GOP have the balls to continue?

We will see....

Indeed. Politicians put a new hole in the ozone layer last night, but it doesn't compare with the actual accomplishments of our awesome troops.

[La Enchiladita]

Bravo for Ohio Congresswoman Jean Schmidt!

[muawiyah]

Thought I'd laugh my tail off at that one. Not a one of those Democrats raised any objection until after the Republicans told them they'd just been insulted.

No doubt they had no idea what was going on.
