WELCOME BACK, MAX!
Max Cleland is coming back to Johnstown!!

Former Sen. Max Cleland of Georgia is throwing a rally in Johnstown, PA for Rep. John Murtha -- the day before Vets for the Truth's Boot Murtha Rally.

The news is highlighted in the following release from Murtha's re-election committee:

[EXCERPT:]

JOHNSTOWN, Pa., Aug. 25 /U.S. Newswire/ -- The Murtha for Congress Committee said that former U.S. Sen. Max Cleland (D-Ga.) announced last night he's leading a large-scale effort among his veteran brothers to support U.S. Rep. John P. Murtha (D-Pa.), who is coming under attack from "radical right-wing forces in the veterans' community" aimed at "swift-boating Murtha, like they did former Democratic nominee for president Sen. John Kerry.

The rally will be held Saturday, Sept. 30, 2006 at 11 a.m. in Central Park in Johnstown, Pa. Cleland said he expects veterans from all over America to make the journey "to support Murtha in an unprecedented show of unity against the war."

VFTT's Boot Murtha Rally is set for Sunday, Oct. 1 starting at 2 pm. Rally participants will gather at Central Park in Johnstown and proceed to the Cambria County War Memorial Arena for the full event. Pennsylvania radio personalities Quinn & Rose of the popular "War Room with Quinn & Rose" show will be co-emcee'ing the Rally. Also lined up for the Boot Murtha Rally:

Terry Pennington, father of Rob Pennington, one of the so-called "Pendleton Eight," who are being held without bail at the Camp Pendleton, CA, brig.  They are being charged with murder and conspiracy, those seven Marines and one Navy Corpsman. 

David Beamer, father of Todd Beamer, leader of the anti-hijacker group on Flight 93 (the man who said, "Let's roll!"

John Wrobleski, father of a Marine killed in Iraq, and who deeply resents the dishonor brought upon the USMC by Murtha's comments.

Gregg Garvey, father of Justin Garvey, who was killed in Iraq, founder of a program that enables local communities to purchase and erect memorials to their fallen sons and daughters.  He will lead the memorial service that precedes the rally.

Heard anything from today's "Support the Troops" Rolling Thunder rally? For those not aware, Diana Irey appeared and spoke there, and Boot Murtha had a display set up (I think).

Haven't heard back from my group (Boot Murtha)yet. I know we set up Operation Street Corner / Boot Murtha displays.

By all means anyone going to the Cleland thing -- bring a digital camera. Maybe we'll get lucky and someone will show their true colors and burn a flag there.

In other words, you have no intention of doing a darned thing but spreading rumors.

Well, you're among friends.

MURTHASYSTIC DISORDER

Murthasystic Disorder (Murthalisis) is the psychotic delusion that everyone (or all members of some specified group) agrees with the sufferer when, in fact, the issue at hand is highly controversial, and a strong or overwhelming majority emphatically deny adherence to or sympathy with the sufferer's pronouncements. The victim of Murthalisis will claim that such disavowals are only what the apparent dissenter "must" say publicly, but will invariably insist: "If you ask them in private he/she will agree that I'm right." Or: "He/she told me privately that I'm right; but they won't admit that to anyone else."

The only effective treatment for Murthasystic Disorder is forced retirement from all positions of public trust, responsibility and influence.

If you change radical to righteous then I fully agree with your statement.

RE: MURTHASYSTIC DISORDER... Murtha's seems to be of the 'San Francisco' strain.

Great news smooth, sounds like there was a good crowd. It also sounds like BootMurtha is starting to leave a mark. Hope Mrs Irey's speech went well, I'm sure it did.

I think "Redeploy Murtha" has a better ring to it.

So make yourself a "Redeploy Murtha" t-shirt and wear to the rally October first!

Max Cleland, stealthily plans a counter rally... again. Anyone care to speculate who will attend?

Is this a challenge or an invitation? LOL!
