WELCOME BACK, MAX!
Max Cleland is coming back to Johnstown!!

Former Sen. Max Cleland of Georgia is throwing a rally in Johnstown, PA for Rep. John Murtha -- the day before Vets for the Truth's Boot Murtha Rally.

The news is highlighted in the following release from Murtha's re-election committee:

[EXCERPT:]

JOHNSTOWN, Pa., Aug. 25 /U.S. Newswire/ -- The Murtha for Congress Committee said that former U.S. Sen. Max Cleland (D-Ga.) announced last night he's leading a large-scale effort among his veteran brothers to support U.S. Rep. John P. Murtha (D-Pa.), who is coming under attack from "radical right-wing forces in the veterans' community" aimed at "swift-boating Murtha, like they did former Democratic nominee for president Sen. John Kerry.

The rally will be held Saturday, Sept. 30, 2006 at 11 a.m. in Central Park in Johnstown, Pa. Cleland said he expects veterans from all over America to make the journey "to support Murtha in an unprecedented show of unity against the war."

VFTT's Boot Murtha Rally is set for Sunday, Oct. 1 starting at 2 pm. Rally participants will gather at Central Park in Johnstown and proceed to the Cambria County War Memorial Arena for the full event. Pennsylvania radio personalities Quinn & Rose of the popular "War Room with Quinn & Rose" show will be co-emcee'ing the Rally. Also lined up for the Boot Murtha Rally:

Terry Pennington, father of Rob Pennington, one of the so-called "Pendleton Eight," who are being held without bail at the Camp Pendleton, CA, brig.  They are being charged with murder and conspiracy, those seven Marines and one Navy Corpsman. 

David Beamer, father of Todd Beamer, leader of the anti-hijacker group on Flight 93 (the man who said, "Let's roll!"

John Wrobleski, father of a Marine killed in Iraq, and who deeply resents the dishonor brought upon the USMC by Murtha's comments.

Gregg Garvey, father of Justin Garvey, who was killed in Iraq, founder of a program that enables local communities to purchase and erect memorials to their fallen sons and daughters.  He will lead the memorial service that precedes the rally.

Hopefully it will be a great big flop. Maybe some of the pinkos will show up. Gotta finish my beer and hit the sack. Worked my butt off today and have to go in early tommorow to repeat the process. Sometimes I think I would be better off if I had a few hundred trillion US dollars. ha ha.
Sleep well.

When Diana spoke, it wasn't a speech, it was just from the heart. The words traveled throughout the crowd.

It was maybe 4 or 5 minutes that she spoke, and Mrs. Smooth and I heard people talking about it to others afterwords.

It was a fine place to be on a warm sunny Saturday, among Patriots, Veterans, Gold Star Mothers, and Damn Proud Americans.

Rolling Thunder is part of the best we are.

I'm really happy to hear everything went so well. From what I've seen and heard from Diana on the media and tapes I can just imagine that the people were impressed with her. Thanks for the report smooth, I appreciate it. :-)

Guess what Max Cleland?

Trajan88, a Texas resident, recently contributed to Irey's campaign.... just put an "Irey" bumper sticker on my wheels today.

Put that in your pipe... and smoke it.

Most folks in Murtha's district 12 do not go online, do not access the Internet, do not know what the DRUDGEREPORT is, etc. Their information comes from local and state newspapers, radio and TV, which serve up Murtha puff pieces.

If I were one of Murtha's constitutents and had no alternate media Internet knowledge, Cleland's rally would hit me like a sledge hammer.

If Murtha's constituents are so lacking in alternative media knowledge, will they even know who Max Cleland is?

Who knows. Maybe the poor souls will think he's the former manager of the Pittsburgh Pirates, Lloyd McClelland.

You know how it goes, cans and strings, for all we know those dim-witted rubes are still building fires and sending smoke signals. HA!

Great graphic! I hope Diana Irey and the good citizens of PA toss this guy out on his posterior. BTW, as my plane landed this afternoon, the pilot announced that a young man was on board, who was coming home on leave after two tours in Iraq. Instant, loud ovation from the passengers. Did my heart good.
