a) Murtha called Cheney a Chickenhawk and said our troops were the enemy.
b) Schmidt read a response of a service member that stated cowards cut and run, Marines never do. That MARINE called Murtha a coward and damn well earned the right to do so. DEMOCRATS BOOED A MARINE'S WORDS!
c) Do not repeat Liberal propaganda on this board and expect us all to be "chastised" because we are applauding this woman giving this troop and thousands of others a voice against a man calling them the enemy.
d) The only ones exposed as petty, vindictive, without a foundation were Democrats after exposing they didn't have the guts to back up their vicious rhetoric. Pure political hackery all along and the Reps shamed them rightly.
I congratulate this new Congresswoman, Praise her to the skies and suffer NO pain of conscience and denounce ANY attempt to categorize it anywhere alike the plane of Michael Moore.
This is the kind of hypocrisy we have to avoid. We can't condemn Michael Moore and other liberals who resort to cheap personal attacks, then defend a Republican when they do exactly the same thing.

She quoted the words of a politician serving in Columbus, Ohio. Most people in SW Ohio are well aware of this, and know the difference between quoting a Marine serving in Iraq and quoting a friend of your's serving in the State Legislature.

There's where we differ. I thought it was liberal propaganda to follow the lead of MoveOn.hitler, DailyKos, DU, and Michael Moore that says all personal attacks are ok as long as you disagree with their politics. We should be above that, even if Jean Schmidt isn't.

No, but that's exactly what would have happened had Jean Schmidt articulated her thoughts in an adult manner. Instead Murtha looks like the victim and Schmidt looks like the Republican Michael Moore.
Great reply to post #12. I ditto every word.
Well, he was by the current political definition of the term.
Well just what the hell have we been doing with Murtha's words? Cheering?
I emailed her Friday night with a big way to go! Told her we needed more Republicans to tell it like it is and that I appreciated her guts to tell the truth.
Amen, and AMEN again....
