I heard no back up from republicans.
GO JEAN !!!!!
THE LADY HAS GUTS, I LOVE IT !!!!!!!!!!
She had to withdraw her remarks because she started the Marine's statement with, Representative Murtha ..." On the floor, are not supposed to call out Representatives by name. Everyone got the point.
She shouldn't have withdrawn her remarks
What were the details ?
Who made her apologize ?
how was the apology stated ?
I live in Cincy.... and may have to move to her district so I can vote for her.
The Dims jumped on procedure. At least, that's the way I understand it.
But she, and the Marine, hit the nail squarely on it's hate-America head.

"On the floor, are not supposed to call out Representatives by name. Everyone got the point."
Thanks for the explanation. I sure didn't hear that in the bite that was played on the news. What a silly piece of decorum. I can see if another congressperson's name is used to insult or embarrass them, and I guess some might construe that's what she was trying to do, but her point was bigger than that, it being that our men who are there want to finish this fight. She was right to make it. I would have let them expel me from Congress before I would have retracted a word of it. If only the House had such concern for decorum when it comes to the kinds of slanders regularly thrown out against the president of the United States.
I was ticked at that too, Mike.
What the Marine said was something like "And please address this to Rep. Murtha. Cowards cut and run. Marines never run."
The left went nuts on behalf of Murtha. If the e-mail hadn't had his name in it, I don't believe she would have withdrawn it.
I got in from work too late to have learned about this...have you seen this?
The news merely said she was forced to apologize and to withdraw the remarks. I'll post whatever I can find that gives more explanation than what I was able to give. Maybe Drudge will have something.
thanx...
I was mad about this too but the bottom line is that she got the point across.
I was watching it live when it happened. Look for my explanation a few posts above this one.

I have only seen the incident on TV once but I thought I heard some cheering and then a bunch of Dem boos. I'll have to see it again to verify though.
thanx....i'm just too darn slow...Freepers posting above to the rescue.
"Cowards cut and run. Marines finish the job."
I'll apologize after hell freezes over.
Oh lordy..sorry- that's what I get for not looking before I post...I'm pretty worked up!
