Marine giving it back to Murtha in today's Post Chronicle
To: RepublicNewbie
The video of this exchange is available on Michelle Malkin's site. The most unbelievable thing is what Murtha and Moran do after the marine finishes.

That whole free-speech thing can be a really double edged sword, huh Martha.

Hmmm... I find it very interesting that the documentation for Murtha's "two purple hearts" seems to be elusive. Shades of John Kerry, indeed.
This will be interesting to follow up. Are there any of Murtha's old comrades who can tell us of his service?

Ummm, conservative as I am...and despising Murtha & his unpatriotic anti-American puting-politics-above-America-and-her-troops liberal idiot fans, this comment was directed at Rep. Moran (the racist un-gentleman representing the Sergeant's district in Arlington, VA.) not Murtha. His comments only said he had not gotten a thank you or acknowlegement for his service from Congress.
Does Murtha send out thank you notes to servicemen? Probably not, but this exchange had nothing to do with Murtha.

If they follow the Clinton playbook, they will try to harm this young man's future. It will be worth watching.

I'm wondering why there aren't more like Seavey who are willing to slap down these folks?

Exactly. He shames the uniform he once wore. He's just an old fart enjoying the spotlight.

Does anybody else think that Murtha *looks* like an evil scumbag? That if you saw him in the supermarket or Sears, not knowing who he was, you'd say to yourself, "That guy looks like an evil scumbag?"

I wish I could talk to Murtha myself, just to drive this point home. I've done two tours in Iraq, with to different units, and I have a possible third tour pending. Out of the two units I deployed with (the first for the invasion the second between '04 and '05) THE ENTIRE TWO UNITS, I found only one dissenter. We all hate it, being away from our families, not being able to come and go as we please, but our moral is definitely not low. We know that what we have done and what we are doing is the right thing. We are reaffirmed every time we meet an Iraqi citizen who hugs us, or shakes our hand, or runs to the edge of the road to wave and smile as we drive by. We are reaffirmed when we meet Iraqi citizens (at the Iraqi tomb of the unknown for example) that expresses their joy at the freedom they have now to be able to walk up to and pay tribute at national monuments, a freedom they were forever denied.
Iraq sucks, but we know what we do is right, and we are proud to do it.

His comments only said he had not gotten a thank you or acknowledgment for his service from Congress. I think you need to watch the WHOLE video. Your characterization is not representative of the soldier's comments.

Fire for effect, Sir. God bless you.

Moran: "Well, it wasn't in the form of question, so let's ignore that it ever happened."
What the hell is this, Jeopardy.

Thank You sir for your service.
God Bless you and all who are serving honorably in an honorable mission.
Thanks

I just listened to the whole thing again, and yes he does mention the morale of the troops is very high (contra Murtha and the DemocRats claims), still his comments were directed at Moran, not Murtha (though yes, Murtha was on the panel).
I agree that all the libs complaints are anti-American, trying to put Bush down for their own politics, however still, this particular exchange was not toward Murtha, it was toward (the even scummier) Moran.
I used to be a constituent of Moran, so I do know the guy is a total jerk & fraud and racist womanizer too.
