Is Murtha Getting the Last Laugh?
Pittsburgh Post Gazette ^ | 8/20/06 | Margaret Talev

Posted on 08/20/2006 6:01:23 AM PDT by Coop

"...[w]hen people lose confidence in that official, they have no power at all." [said Murtha]

Mr. Murtha's outspokenness has made him a target. A North Carolina-based group called Vets for the Truth has launched a "Boot Murtha" campaign, inviting protesters to an Oct. 1 rally in Johnstown.

Organizer Larry Bailey is a retired Navy SEAL who said he was driven not by Mr. Murtha's stance on troop redeployment but by the congressman's assertion in May, before a thorough investigation, that Marines in Haditha had killed innocent Iraqi civilians "in cold blood."

"I have some misgivings myself about what's going on in Iraq," Mr. Bailey said. "Until May 17, I wasn't the least bit interested in the 12th District of Pennsylvania."

Mr. Murtha said bad acts by soldiers hurt the military and should be aired. "I've supported the troops my entire political career," he said. "I don't think there would have been an investigation if I hadn't said something. You have to make it public."

...

[Coop note: There already was an investigation, you lying sack of trash. And your problem is you have already proclaimed the Marines guilty, thereby denying them presumption of innocence and due process. They are "decorated, hawkish Marine combat veterans." They've earned that much, Traitor!!]

"...[w]hen people lose confidence in that official, they have no power at all." [said Murtha]

The irony is stunning, Jackie.

Mr. Murtha is expected to win re-election handily.

Margaret must have interviewed at least a dozen Democrats and reporters before coming up with that kernel of "wisdom."


If you'd like to shove yet another Murtha puff piece down the throats of Murtha and his shills, please support the ongoing efforts to elect Diana Irey and Boot Murtha.

It would be one thing if that was his only agenda here. But his actions speak a lot louder than his words.

Coop, Have you seen any polls concerning Irey-Murtha for the Nov......(...just kidding!!!).

I saw her appearance on Hannity and thelib. She did quite well against Alan, and I hope she beats Traitor Jack in Nov.

(..a Coop and Irey BTTT !!)

The communist Murtha (not Mr. or Senator as the left wing socialists fascists are unconstitutional and therefore guilty of treason) not only labors under the delusion they are intelligent; he is an liar and a foolish man and may suffer some form of mental disease such as Alzheimer's or so.
I'm beginning to think that the left wing are Nazi's and not just neo Nazi's.

John Murtha's sycophant "journalist" Margaret Talev, is akin to Clinton's, Monica Lewinsky.

Months after making headlines, John Murtha's popularity booming

The difference being Margaret Talev gives her fellatiatic love towards Murtha in words.

Thanks for proving my point sonny. Same old insults. Is that the best you can do? It's a certainty you can't answer legitimate questions.

does anybody know how Murtha got his
Bronze Star with 'V'.

My working theory is,

he got the officer's finished-your-tour attaboy medal,
and happened to get shot at a few times

I rarely criticize Veterans, but this guy is a traitor. His words alone earn this title. Add that asinine town hall meeting with moran, meeting with/accepting an award from code pink...He is despicable.

Let me know the details of the Oct. rally. I just decided, I'm in.

...wails the blind child who shrieked about 9-year olds during his most recent tantrum.

Now shoo!! There should be some good cartoons on a Sunday morning. We're discussing legitimate adult stuff here.

Dreaming up salacious new lies to "increase his popularity"? (with code pink and answer)

My bad Coop.

After further review, the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette(aka Putz-Gazette) retitled the origianl Margaret Talev, McClatchey-Knight Ridder, article.

I surmise the Putz-Gazette editors want to get on the Margaret Talev/Monica Lewinsky bandwagon towards Murtha.

The general article was the same, no doubt. Just wanted to move the puff piece to Sunday, for wider circulation.
