Take away a child's innocence and liberal judges and lawyers want to understand what caused you to do it. Was it your mother's fault for not breast-feeding you? Rape and kill dozens of innocent people like Ted Bundy did and the same folks want to file appeal after appeal on why your sorry life should be spared from the executioner. Come across the borders illegally and we offer you a pathway to citizenship as well as educate, feed and clothe your children. But even suggest a Marine may have done something improper, and he is guilty until proven innocent.
Just ask John Murtha.
For years while hosting a national talk-radio show, I was constantly reminded by network management that when talking about a heinous crime, I had to refer to the suspect as the ''alleged'' perpetrator and I had to talk about the ''alleged'' crime. This was somehow supposed to protect the network from lawsuits filed by the accused and to insure the ''alleged'' criminal got a fair trial. If that is the truth, you can kiss goodbye due process for the Marines now on trial in the press by the likes of John Murtha.
Murtha has found the Marines, under investigation for possible war atrocities in Haditha guilty, guilty, guilty.

Murtha has found the Marines, under investigation for possible war atrocities in Haditha guilty, guilty, guilty. What happened to innocent until proven guilty? What happened to the cries of ''rule of law''? If I was one of the Marines, I would cite Murtha's comments as evidence a fair trial is impossible. Hangman Murtha has already tried the case in the court of public opinion and found them all to be guilty.
Isn't every American entitled to a fair trial? Not, apparently, if you are serving in the military. John Murtha will give everyone in the country the benefit of the doubt, except a Marine. I thought Murtha supported the troops? Is this what he calls support? He doesn't even offer Marines what a thug or common thief is afforded.
I know it is not polite to ask all these questions, so I will offer what I see at work here. Murtha is nothing more than a Democrat bomb thrower. He is out to create enough hate for the military and the war so the average American will buy the cut-and-run ideology he and his nut-job buddies embrace. He is hell-bent on doing whatever it takes to change opinion on the war in Iraq without any regard for what an early pullout would mean to America and the world.
Murtha seems filled with glee over anything that will discredit our troops. Why doesn't Murtha spend the same amount of energy talking about the 99.9 percent of the military that is performing flawlessly? Why not thank the troops as much as he criticizes? I find it hard to believe Murtha is representative of the folks in Pennsylvania. Who is he speaking for?
If he wins, he remains representative. He has to be defeated this fall to be silenced.
He represents only one small district of the state. I will be extremely disappointed if this party line political hack is not thrown out his next reelection bid.

Diana Irey is a Republican running against Murtha this fall and was unopposed in her primary. Send money and get Murtha out of office!
Indeed he does. That act more than most will speak volumes to our troops deployed in the GWOT and their families back home, being exposed to Murtha's almost daily slime. Please help support his opponent - Diana Irey in any way you can.
If you'd like to be on or off the Irey/Murtha ping list, please FReepmail me. Cheers!
Absolutely! An Irey win in November will get national media attention. And how sweet it will be.
Sure Murtha "supports" the troops--he supports them with one hand while knifing them in the back. Makes it easier to push the knife in, doncha know.

Thanks for the post, it's right on and Murtha's conduct is despicable.
Many FReepers have come out to support Diana Irey and our military to help unseat this Congressman who refuses to give these Marines the presumption of innocence, his actions are contrary to everything American's believe in.
DIANA IREY FOR CONGRESS
