When Will Murtha Apologize?
EIB ^ | 6/17/08 | El Rushbo

Posted on 06/17/2008 6:57:02 PM PDT by pissant

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT

RUSH: Jack Murtha alert, big news, ladies and gentlemen: "A military judge has dismissed charges against a Marine officer accused of failing to investigate the killings of 24 Iraqis. Col. Steven Folsom dismissed charges Tuesday against Lt. Col. Jeffrey Chessani after defense attorneys raised concerns that a four-star general overseeing the prosecution was improperly influenced by an investigator probing the November 2005 shootings by a Marine squad in Haditha. The charges were dismissed without prejudice, meaning they can be refiled, but Folsom excluded Marine Forces Central Command from future involvement. Chessani was the highest-ranking officer implicated in the case." Here's why this is big. From the moment television news started running pictures of this, the Democrats in Congress -- led by Jack Murtha and echoed by no less than Senator Kennedy -- gleefully, joyously, happily picked up the refrain that our military was rapists, murderers, uncontrolled criminals.

They then said, "We have compassion for them. We understand that the failed Bush policies and our continual rotation of deployment is causing untold stress. But we still need to punish these people!" Murtha had no facts. He proclaimed all of these Marines guilty, in the process demoralizing the US military and lying to the American public. The Drive-By Media -- predisposed to also sanction defeat for the United States and for our military in Iraq -- happily, joyfully picked up the refrain and started running stories about how these Marines were nothing but rapists and murderers. And that was the picture that was allowed even before any trial had begun, even before any evidence had been presented. Murtha didn't call anybody. He relied on news reports, pure and simple, because it fit the template. It fit the narrative. Once again, we have an example of the unpatriotic behavior of elected Democrats in power positions in the House and the Senate: eagerly, joyfully doing whatever they could to impugn, falsely accuse, and pile on a bunch of charges which have turned out to be false. Murtha, Kennedy, and all the others that piled on here owe all of these people and the people of the United States of America the US Marine Corps an apology on public television with everybody knowing that it's coming, so as many people as possible can watch this. No less than a public apology will suffice. It won't happen, but this is who your modern-day Democrats are.

‘One more to go Rush, one more to go.’

Thanks for posting this. I was wondering if all have now been cleared. pissant, do you know how many were tried and cleared. I want to call Murtha’s office and would like to have info.
God bless our military and their families.

“When Will Murtha Apologize?”

Never and Murtha doesn’t have to. He bought his district with every slice of pork he cut off in his long career. Abscam did not get him. It should have. He is safe and can ignore criticism.

When Will Murtha Apologize? NEVER!

It is time to send William Russell campaign donations. He is running against Murtha. I sent my donation a couple days ago.

If there is someone running against John Kerry, I will donate to his/her campaign too!

"Section 3. Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying war against them, or in adhering to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort. No person shall be convicted of treason unless on the testimony of two witnesses to the same overt act, or on confession in open court."

John al-Murtha consciously aided America's enemies in time of war, for partisan political ends. He knowingly gave "aid and comfort" to our worst terrorist enemies. Murtha and the Demagogues are poisonous scum who should be on trial for treason.

As someone once said, SEN Murtha have you no decency? At long last, have you no decency, sir?

You have shame the USMC, that band of brothers you swore to defend as a Marine. You shame the Senate. You shame the State of Ohio.

God bless the Marine who was exonerated by the court. God save the USMC.

I want an whole crapload of hearings looking into why Fat Jack did what he did. Did he intentionally want to destroy the War On Terror or did he do what he did because he was under the spell of Pelosi's "cow eyes?" Murtha needs to be in jail. He's a real sleazebag. Fat Jack has some real 'splainin' to do.

It's time for the GOP to grow a spine and go after him. I want to know what motivated Fat Jack to go after our military men and women.

A full flensing of Jack Murtha wouldn’t really be out of order (’cept it’d be against the law).

You are entirely correct, my FRiend.

Liberals, socialists, and progressing down through Stalinists (meaning the whole Democratic Party) never, ever admit a mistake.

They are non-stop blamers and liars, but they haven't the character, honor, or dignity to admit a mistake.
