And pay attention boys and girls! Calling Marines "cold blooded killers" is healthy debate. Calling that reckless accuser "a traitor" is obscene. The elites have spoken!
It seems to me that the media is in overdrive trying to protect Murtha's sorry butt. Why? They keep insisting he's not in any re-election trouble. ;-)
These wimpy pro-Murtha editorials are the equivalent of armpit stains during a public speaking engagement.
If you'd like on or off the Irey/Murtha ping list, please FReepmail me.
Wow, now finally the MSM is shovelling dirt on Murtha as fast as they can to cover up his treason....ain't gonna work, the horse ran out of the barn WAY back.
They say that like it's a good thing...
We seem to be missing a Barf Alert.
MARINE CORPS TO MURTHA: OH, NO, YOU DIDN'T! (Diana Irey website)
Good grief. Like that is a good thing!
The old double standard free speech; I am free to say what I want ,but, you can't if you disagree. Works well for 3 year olds and rats.
Oh spare us. It's not Murtha speaking out that is the problem. It's not as if he's the only one dissenting on Iraq. It's the irresponsible way in which he's gone about it, throwing about wild charges, making bizarre assertions and his ugly and partisan venom that has made Murtha a particularized target of conservatives. If just simple disagreement over the war were all that got under our skin, we conservatives would have to make it a full time job going after all the carpers.
No, it is not disagreement we have a problem with but the DISAGREEABLE nature of the dissent coming from rank partisan hacks like Murtha. Constructive criticism of our government is always welcome and a tradition of American democracy. Destructive criticism is in quite another league. It is precisely this kind of venomous and slanderous criticism destructive of our national leadership and of our military, like claiming the president lied to get us into a war or pronouncing guilt on Marines involved in Haditha before all the facts are knows is why Murtha finds himself coming under the gun.
And by the way, as the MSM defends the right of Murtha to attack the war effort, then they damned well better respect our right to attack the irresponsible and divisive way he's gone about it.
I love the way the author impugns the Republican congresswomen who spoke up about the policy Murtha was espousing. If I recall the circumstances, she never said Murtha was a coward, she was quoting a Marine constituent who said that cowards cut and run and Marines never did. Ever since then she has been villified as though she were personally attacking Murtha. It's an example of the way the media and left twist words to suit their purposes.
If you call treason, "speaking out", yes, he was assailed! And I'm so happy about.
I do not listen to Murtha, much like would not listen to any other gibbering senile old coot.
It seems the Central Daily/Phil. Enquirer doesn't let the truth stand in their way for their editorials. Either that or they're just too lazy and inept to bother to get the truth. I believe it's all of the above.
Support Diana Irey and help retire the despicable Murtha.

Murtha is free to speak and those who oppose the content of his speech are free to work to unelect him. He will still be able to speak out as much as he wants. He just won"t be in Congress. No big deal.
Oh please, atrocities happen in all wars of all types. They happened in World War II, Korea, Vietnam, etc. as well. It's nothing about the nature of this conflict that caused this. And it's not because it's a "civil war" which it's not. It's human nature that things like this occassionally occur in all conflicts among all armies.
And how do you know these men weren't clear on the mission? Most I've heard speak were entirely clear. That writer and Murtha are too dim or decieved to get it doesn't mean are military men and women don't.
And military units have seen far more battles and fighting than this one in the wars America has fought and not given in to savagery. So to claim it is because of their length of service in what is basically a low level conflict is ludicrious at best. Indeed, instead of looking to blame war policy for this, why not blame the terrorists who hide among civilians and use sissified stand off tactics to try to CAUSE THESE KINDS OF INCIDENTS instead of just looking as always to blame the administration. No, the terrorists are "freedom fighters" undeserving of any criticism, right?
And by the way, when this incident is alleged to have occured in 2004, there was nothing like the sectarian violence this moron labels as "civil war," so his claim this happened because of a "civil war" is sheer nonsense. But leave it to a media parasite to have to fit in all their favorite buzzwords into the slop they write, regardless of accuracy. And in the case, he makes these assertions regardless of their being no indictments nor findings of wrongdoing.
The editorial "staph" infection approves of Murtha.
So does Sadaaamn Hussein and Hugo "el burro" Chavez and Cindy "LOLA" Sheehan.
Nice company.
Well .. HE WAS SIMPLY LYING!
He said he had been briefed on May 17 - but he was NOT BRIEFED UNTIL 7/24 or later. Therefore, he had no info .. and he was just blowing off steam - to make a name for himself.
And besides .. he did the same thing to Clinton over Somalia and - of course - Clinton backed down and withdrew our troops. That act convinced Osama America was weak and if there were enough casualties .. we would "cut and run".
As far as I'm concerned Murtha is to blame for 9/11.
Arrest the editorial staff for Treason.
They do not understand what debate means and what Treason means. They need a lesson in basic civics.
