John Murtha: Caving In to Arabs Since 1980 (Ann Coulter)
Human Events ^ | February 21, 2007 | Ann Coulter

Posted on 02/21/2007 3:32:03 PM PST by 2ndDivisionVet

Rumored ex-Marine John Murtha, Democrat congressman from Pennsylvania, has become the darling of the cut-and-run crowd for trying to place absurd restrictions on our troops, amounting to withdrawal from Iraq. Were Arab sheiks whispering into his ear?

In case you missed the video on "I Love the '80s," Rep. Murtha was caught on tape negotiating bribes with Arab sheiks during the FBI's Abscam investigation in 1980. The Abscam investigation was conducted by Jimmy Carter's Justice Department, not right-wing Republicans.

On tape, Murtha told the undercover FBI agent: "When I make a f***in' deal I want to make sure that I know exactly what I'm doing and ... what I'm sayin' is, a few investments in my district ..."

It is a profound and shocking fact that Murtha even showed up at this meeting, knowing he was going to be negotiating bribe money with Arabs.

Murtha added that he wanted the investment in his district to look like it was done "legitimately ... when I say legitimately, I'm talking about so these bastards up here can't say to me ... 'Jesus Christ, ah, this happened,' then he (someone else), in order to get immunity so he doesn't go to jail, he starts talking and fingering people and then the son of a bitch all falls apart."

Interesting how all these low-lifes get themselves elected to Congress. Any decent people there?

Why aren't republican congressmen calling this guy a treasonous traitor and criminal every time he opens his mouth in congress?

". . .'Jesus Christ, ah, this happened,' then he (someone else), in order to get immunity so he doesn't go to jail, he starts talking and fingering people and then the son of a bitch all falls apart."

This is exactly what Murtha did. When caught he fell apart and testified against two other defendants to avoid prosecution. The lead investigator in the case was so upset by the deal that Murtha got he resigned in protest. I suppose any district that keeps electing this piece of human garbage deserves him.

Thank you, Ann. I had hoped someone would slap the silliness out of John Murtha -- and I was sure just "wishing" wouldn't make it so. Silly, me. Let's go on to Nancy Pelosi and another smack-down there. Ah, it is a good day, after all.

You can thank the voters in his district for that.

They had a choice and choose him.

Any further comment would probably get me banned or suspended so I will let it go at that.
