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.

"Murtha is crapping cinder blocks ... "

Maybe, but not necessarily. The left hates opposition and hates people who -- in any serious way, like Diana Irey -- oppose them. For these thugs, loudly expressing their contempt for us is its own reward. It's not neccessarily that they're worried Murtha will lose. More likely, they are just reacting naturally to the fact that people are denouncing them. For the left, the natural reaction is to scream and threaten.

In addition, certain people will believe anything they see on TV, and this will be on TV with no negative commentary or disapproving tone from the anchor or the reporter, so a few votes will be gained for Murtha. Some might be lost, too, but they'd be lost sooner or later anyway. In addition, from the liberals' standpoint, there is one more plus: The anti-Irey demonstration might shake up a few of Irey's supporters and get them to keep quiet or not attend the rally the next day. At least, that's how these thugs think.

heh heh. I'll settle for a cold beer.

You gents just pull up a chair anytime, and Coop, I'll put a pitcher full on the table just for you, but not until after the sun's up over the yardarm ; )

Murtha must be forced to explain ABSCAM.

[Marine_Uncle]

Bless your heart mom. May the good Lord give you many years of good health and a kind spirit.

[Just A Nobody]

Great report and great looking folks!!

Thanks!

[Just A Nobody]

Looks a little like him, doesn't it? ;*)

[Phibes]

Can military vets criticize other vets? Yes we can and I will. Murtha and Cleland both punked out for their politcal party and agenda. These are NOT the guy's I served with at all. Men actually died with these fu#@kers and shame on them!

[Coop]

Deal!

[Coop]

Murtha must be forced to explain ABSCAM.

So how do you propose we make that happen?

[Coop]

Welcome to the forum. I'll hope you'll join our efforts at defeating Jack Murtha, either by supporting his opponent Diana Irey and/or joining our efforts and anti-Murtha rally here at Boot Murtha

Murtha reminds of an overweight hissing possum.

[imskylark]

"He'll have a very hard time trying to explain the ties to that antiwar movement."

Especially when they show up at the Pro-Murtha rally. He's not very smart doing this. It will prove that Irey is speaking the truth about Murtha.

[jazusamo]

Especially when they show up at the Pro-Murtha rally.

Exactly...He ignores Diana Irey, veterans and other people that call him on different issues but when Code Pink and other antiwar groups show up at Cleland's Pro-Murtha rally with their protest signs saying "Vote for Murtha" he won't be able to ignore that or cover it up.

Pundit Review on WRKO last night had people involved with the case saying that the case against the Marines is falling apart as the reports of a firefight following an IED explosion are being corroberated. The case against them is based on the testimony of one known anti US agitator.

Great news, I'm very happy to hear it's coming out in some media that the Haditha Marines were prejudged due to his despicable behavior.

[freema]

massgopguy, thank you for that post.

[KingofQue]

I'd bet he is just another lying Demorat.

[Marine_Uncle]

Sure looks like our Marines and the Corpsmen are going to be soon cleared of any heresay offenses. I hope the media and Murtha get their teeth kicked in on this one.
