JOHN MURTHA'S WAR RECORD(Kerry defender springs to the defense)

The Oregonian ^ | January 23, 2006 | Jim Rassmann

[crazyhorse691]

Jim Rassman was the gentleman who stood up for Kerry way back in 2004 and followed him all over the US proclaiming Kerry's greatness. Typical moonbat rant except for the reference to a new generation since 2004.

[popdonnelly]

I wouldn't care if Murtha was the greatest military hero of our time. He is a fool who wants us to lose in Iraq.

[dubyawhoiluv]

multiple skeletons in his close,t kicked off the police force for inappropriate behaviors not a good character reference

[Pan_Yans Wife]

Murtha didn't prove his patriotism at all. He is siding with the insurgents and hoping that America's finest soldiers lose in Iraq. Stability in Iraq threatens Murtha, because this would be a victory for Bush... and for the entire Middle East. Murtha does NOT represent Middle America.

[samtheman]

Sanity in your 20's doesn't prove sanity in your 60's. Murtha is currently insane.

"Standing up against yet another smear"

one mans smear ... another mans expose'

[Lakeshark]

Murtha, who, like Kerry, dared to speak his mind

Speaking your mind is fine, not being able to handle criticism of what you said is the constant for Demorats these days....."How dare we question their patriotism", too.......

[G.Mason]

"John Kerry and John Murtha both love their country [exactly what country is that?] and proved their patriotism in the crucible of war and on the battlefield of public service. [you mean the battlefield to feed at the public trough?] But far more is at stake than the reputations of two good men. They have the honor of their service, as do the hundreds of thousands of Americans in uniform in harm's way today, and that's enough."

No, perpetual apologizer, Jim Rassmann, that is not enough!

Both Kerry and Murtha are traitors to their country, a disgrace to any and all who wore the uniform, and should, in the very least, be shunned by every American who loves their country.

[sgtbono2002]

I dont knock the mans war record whatever it was.

I do knock his stupidity in thinking we can leave Iraq tomorrow.

[atomicpossum]

The radical right Web site Cybercast News Service -- formerly the Conservative News Service -- has attacked Murtha, claiming he was fraudulently awarded Purple Hearts for wounds received during two tours in Vietnam.

Nope, sorry, Jim...he was attacked by a fellow Democrat.

[pfony1]

I wonder if Murtha's status as "unindicted conspirator" in the ABSCAM sting operation served to identify him as a greedy man who would be very willing to fund his retirement plans with some REAL "Arab" money.

THAT would certainly explain his un-Marine-like defeatism...

Naaahhh....

Arabs would never try to "buy" a U.S. Congressmen, now, would they?

[saveliberty]

LOL! Is this the man that Kerry knocked into the water only to have to pull him out later?

[Just A Nobody]

Yep!

[saveliberty]

LOL! More purple hearts, more purple hearts,more purple hearts,more purple hearts,more purple hearts.

" Watching the assault on his military record by partisan operatives armed with falsehoods was a shock."

Partisan operatives, baloney! The leadership was Vietnam Vets and a lot of funding came from small donations from Vietnam Vets like me, and others who trusted the judgement of the vast majority of vets on this issue. We've been there and we know "medal garbage" when we smell it (and this one reeked). If this guy can't accept the fact that various forms of support by Vietnam Vets drove the success of the effort then he shouldn't even try to go on the attack.

[sauropod]

But the health of our democracy, the integrity of our debate, the voice of our free press and the true meaning of patriotism are under assault if a new generation of Swift Boat-style smears is allowed into the public sphere unchallenged.

You mean like unfounded cocaine usage allegations and claims that the Administration "knew" that 9-11 was going to happen and LIHOP, Mr. Rassman?

[crazyhorse691]

LOL! Is this the man that Kerry knocked into the water only to have to pull him out later?

Yep. He is now retired and grows orchids in Florence, Or. I am still amazed at how many normal people morph into moonbats and end up in Oregon. Must be a genetic deformity.
