Is Murtha Getting the Last Laugh?

Pittsburgh Post Gazette ^ | 8/20/06 | Margaret Talev

[Coop]

"...[w]hen people lose confidence in that official, they have no power at all." [said Murtha]

Mr. Murtha's outspokenness has made him a target. A North Carolina-based group called Vets for the Truth has launched a "Boot Murtha" campaign, inviting protesters to an Oct. 1 rally in Johnstown.

Organizer Larry Bailey is a retired Navy SEAL who said he was driven not by Mr. Murtha's stance on troop redeployment but by the congressman's assertion in May, before a thorough investigation, that Marines in Haditha had killed innocent Iraqi civilians "in cold blood."

"I have some misgivings myself about what's going on in Iraq," Mr. Bailey said. "Until May 17, I wasn't the least bit interested in the 12th District of Pennsylvania."

Mr. Murtha said bad acts by soldiers hurt the military and should be aired. "I've supported the troops my entire political career," he said. "I don't think there would have been an investigation if I hadn't said something. You have to make it public."

...

[Coop note: There already was an investigation, you lying sack of trash. And your problem is you have already proclaimed the Marines guilty, thereby denying them presumption of innocence and due process. They are "decorated, hawkish Marine combat veterans." They've earned that much, Traitor!!]

[Coop]

Give it up, Smooth. Our little friend's hysteria is because s/he feels that I have not paid it proper respect by fully answering its questions on Irey vs. Murtha (questions EASILY answered by reading the very threads it whines on).

Especially questions on polls. :-)

[saganite]

Hey coop, what are the latest polls on this race? Has Irey got a chance?

[prairiebreeze]

Too lazy to use a search engine? How about finding out for yourself if you are so interested in polls on this issue. Unless you are just here to stir up stink, which I'm beginning to believe you are.

BTW, most FReepers are aware that the only poll that counts is the poll that's taken on election day.

[smoothsailing]

I'll consider it, Coop. What I will not tolerate is a bottom dweller, and until saganite understands the concept of courage, I'll be an occasional tormenter. HA! :-)

[Coop]

Understood. :-)

[saganite]

There aren't any polls on this race. Read coop's tagline.

[saganite]

Courage isn't even a valid concept on an online forum. Words are easy. You seem to be full of empty words.

[smoothsailing]

Your vapidity is increasingly redundant.

'Til next time, small saganite.

[AmishDude]

So what is your point? You know there are no polls on this race and yet you hector Coop about it.

[saganite]

I asked coop some simple questions about the district and he took an asshole attitude. I don't mind harassing the jackass. In fact it's turned into sport.

[Coop]

:-D Your lower lip is quivering, Precious.

[saganite]

There you are again coop! Been waiting with baited breath for my latest post? You must be doing nothing but monitoring this thread! You're such a pathetic joke. LOL

[AmishDude]

I am very sorry that you feel that Coop should dedicate his existance to alleviating your ignorance.

It would surely be a full-time job.

[Coop]

Saganite got completely ticked off because s/he blew into a thread and didn't like my "Yes" answer (which was completely accurate, by the way) to an either/or question. Then the crybaby lost it when I supposedly wouldn't answer its question about polls. Finally someone clued it into my tagline, so now it's trying to pass itself off as knowing it all along. Yeah, that's the ticket!! ;)

And if you think I'm exaggerating, look how Kid Clueless lit into smoothsailing.

Saganite is one of those lazy jerks that absolutely will not lift its little finger to do a darned thing, but has all sorts of time to wander around threads spreading... love.

[saganite]

Hey, he could just ignore me. Guess he gets a kick out of posting his nonsense.

[jazusamo]

LMAO...Precious? I believe that fits.

[Admin Moderator]

Hey, he could just ignore me.

That's a good idea. Enjoy some time off.

[smoothsailing]

And now you resort to profanity.

How typical, and how defining of what you are.

[AmishDude]

Yes, a full-time job.

[saganite]

LOL. It's like pretending to throw a stick to a dog. He goes charging off looking for the stick that ain't there. Fetch boy, fetch.
