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.
You're exactly right. One might call the way the media and Democrats handled that... OBSCENE.
