His criticism of Murtha carries more weight because of his political hatemongering of our President.

A straight shooter to fans, a loose cannon to critics,And yet when he was the dems' man (briefly) we mostly heard about the straight shooter part; once he was ejected, we started getting "both sides of the story".
John McCain, are you paying attention?
Murtha's office didn't respond to a phone call seeking comment.
He only responds if video crews are involved.

That's not what happened ... Glad to know it's not what happened, since you have certainly been around here long enough to know better. But that is what it looked like -- especially after I copied and pasted the prior (incorrect) title and commented on the confusing use of "hawkish" as an adjective to describe Murtha apparently about the same time that the mod corrected the title. Fregards.

The traitor is going to have to be cornered by concerned US Reps while under the dome.Hello? Liberal Democrats don't get "cornered", Republicans do.

I wish Hackett would make up his mind...
I think we have this generation's John F'n Kerry...politically, I assume he was discharge honorably and served his required time in the service.

Let's see...he is accusing Murtha of being addicted to microphones???
PUH---leeeeeeeze....this article is all about HIM..and his needs and wants...and most of his needs and wants involved his "celebrity" status...and as a RADIO TALK SHOW host..behind what???
Why, that would be a microphone...
What a fraud.
Also...I love the writer of this article referring to him as a "Democratic attorney"...???????????
So...he is only an attorney for "democratics"???

Democratic Rep. John Murtha of Pennsylvania, a decorated Marine veteran.......
I am so tired of seeing this crap in the MSM. Murtha was a Remington Raider, rear echelon intelligence guy when he was in Nam, and has the same kind of problems with his decorations that John Kerry has with his.
The public statements by Murtha concerning his Purple Hearts do not match up with the documentation that has been made public.
He is an embarassment to the Corps, Marines everywhere whether active duty or former service, and the voters in his district. His opponent gets my money, and I don't live in PA yet.
In God We Trust…..Semper Fi!

Last night, I again watched the video, "Breaker Morant." It's an excellent movie on the trial of 3 Australian soldiers in the South African Boer War. They were prejudged by the higher-ups as having committed atrocities in the guerilla war. Eerily similar to the Haditha situation.

Democratic Rep. John Murtha of Pennsylvania, a decorated Marine veteran....... The drive-by media never fail to append that "decorated vet" part when the subject is a democrat or an anti-war type. But the obverse is never the case. You never saw, for instance, "Casper Weinberger, decorated Marine combat veteran", because he was a conservative anticommunist.
It just fries me.

Maybe he'll move to PA next year and primary Murtha...
To: North Coast Conservative
We need some "Swiftie types" to disclose the truth behind Murtha's two PHs, which didn't require any hospitalization ala Kerry.

What I find amazing about this Democratic War Hero is that like John Kerry he has refused to release his military records .
