I don't see anyone here defending him; I see some freepers, including me, going after Murtha for stuff he's doing NOW, like aligning himself with Code Pink.

Sorry, I should have added that someone there might be able to provide some guidance and garner support.

Someone was looking for Jay Sekulow, I don't remember if it was you or not, but here's the link.

Good, he should be held to account for all of his lies.
No matter how far back they go.

"I've said that veterans should handle it but the Republican party needs to stay far away from it."

UH OH Peach!

"Murtha also told differing stories about when and where he was wounded in action. A Pittsburgh Post-Gazette story reported in 2002 that Murtha had facial lacerations. In 1994, the Uniontown (Pa.) Herald-Standard quoted Murtha saying he was “wounded in the arm” for one medal and “my knee was banged up and my arm was banged up when a helicopter was shot down” for the other. Then, Morano and Hall uncovered a June 1, 1967 report in the Johnstown (Pa.) Tribune-Democrat quoting from a letter from Murtha to his wife describing his injuries as being "struck in the ankle" by a "shot that ricocheted off the helicopter."

Now what was that about there was no proof about what?

I did debate, you attacked me and others on this thread for saying anything that didn't follow your orders.

Clearly you read everything on this thread so I didn't need to "ping" you despite the rules. The only reason you haven't tried to have me banned for breaking those rules is that on this thread you broken one of the rules that is actually displayed on every submit post page.

NO personal attacks!

Many other Freepers would have already signaled a mod as to the sort of insults and innunedoes you thrown about on this thread, as a former marine I'm made of sterner stuff and their are no insults you could ever throw at me an make stick.

From here on out like at least a few others I'm putting you on Manual Ignore, you can say whatever you want but I'll ignore every last be of it.

Oh, so now you admit you DO know the rules. So you're a liar. Which I pretty much knew within your first few posts to me when you just started making stuff up and pretending I'd posted things I clearly hadn't posted.

You may be a former marine and made of stern stuff, but it's not honor.

Show me where I said there was no proof? Now you're making stuff up out of whole cloth.

"Show me where I said there was no proof?"

So NOW you admit there is proof of murtha's medal fraud
BUT refuse to do anything to further expose this dim.

That's a shame you won't do anything to defend those
who really earned a Purple Heart, like Bob Dole and President Bush 41 among others.

It's people like you who show disrespect AND endorse the disrespect
off the men and women who really were/are hero's

It is fascinating that on a thread about whether Murtha lied to get his medals, you are lying about other people's posts and positions. It says a lot about you, and none of it is honorable.

When people think it is more relevant to go after Murtha for his current positions with regard to Code Pink, etc., instead of attacking him on medals that MAY have been earned under false circumstances, you attack those people and constantly mistate their positions. That puts you SQUARELY in the Murtha column.

Putting Tonk in the same boat with Murtha is anywhere close to reality.

That post made no sense -- I need more coffee. My point was that whatever you think, Tonk and Murtha are not cut from the same cloth.

I've no idea what the heck your issue has been on this thread. You have been on one of my ping lists for years and I was sad to remove you yesterday.

What ever disagreement you have about what focus should be put on Murtha is one thing. Saying usmcobra has no honor and comparing Tonk to Murtha is BEYOND out of line.

You disgust me.

You're calling Tonk a liar, saying he is squarely in Murtha's column (someone who would put our troops at increased risk), and calling usmcobra dishonorable.

"I don't think we should pursue this.

Murtha is not running for higher office, he is elderly and he is doing more damage every time he opens his mouth than anything we can do to him.

Also, there was evidence on another thread that the conservatives are being set up in this matter."

"It's one thing for vets to go after Murtha; have at him. I don't want to see this connected to conservatives or Republicans."

I guess that only leaves non-republican vets to go after him, huh?
