Has Murtha no
sense of decency?
Recently, Lt. Col. Paul Ware, an investigator in the Haditha massacre case, issued a report recommending charges be dropped against Lance Cpl. Justin Sharratt. Not long ago, Congressman John P. Murtha locally declared the Marines guilty. This was done shortly after the incident hit the news and was based on the testimony of locals making the charges and before all the facts could be taken into evidence. The report specifically questions their credibility, since forensic results were inconsistent with the execution-style murders the locals claimed.
In his abominable, politically motivated actions, Murtha acted as "judge, jury, prosecutor, castigator and press agent, all in one."
All I can say is, "Until this moment, Congressman, I never really gauged your cruelty or your recklessness. Let us not further assassinate this lad, Congressman. You have done enough. Have you no sense of decency?"
If this sounds vaguely familiar it should. Substitute "Senator" for "Congressman" and you have the words spoken by lawyer Joseph Welch on June 9, 1954. The earlier quote was attributed to Harvard law dean Ervin Griswald. They referred to and were addressed to Senator Joseph R. McCarthy.
I now address that question to the supporters of Murtha, because we know his answer, judging by the lack of a public apology: Have you no sense of decency?

Murtha needs to be dumped with the rest of the garbage in 2008.

Bump!
And all the twits that voted for him.
In a word - no. But you knew that, didn’t you.
Agreed!
Murtha 60%
Irey 40%
Out of roughly 200,000 votes.
LOL! I’m totally shocked!
I still don’t know how he won all districts. His machine is strong.
I know how he did it, but you’re right about his machine.
Well, Hello, been a while since I’ve seen you on a Murtha thread. Welcome back!
“And all the twits that voted for him.”
Amen.
There’s no scum in federal office that’s not put there by voters.
The people are still to blame for the idiots that lead us.
I am not disagreeing with you on that. Not even a little bit.
Great news, smooth! We can post threads on FR about Murtha from dawn to dusk, but the place the info really matters is in PA-12.
Agreed, Red. The local voters have not been getting the truth from the local media. I sense a “shift in the force”!
Remember this? :....
“What we still don’t understand is why you Americans stopped the bombing
of Hanoi. You had us on the ropes. If you had pressed us a little
harder, just for another day or two, we were ready to surrender! It was
the same at the battles of TET. You defeated us! We knew it, and we
thought you knew it. But we were elated to notice your media were
definitely helping us. They were causing more disruption in America
than we could in the battlefields. We were ready to surrender. You had
won!”
- General Giap, North Vietnam (memoirs)
Bump for a shift in the force!
In retrospect, I think some Irey rooters in 06 made a mistake in thinking that voters in PA-12 knew all about Code Pink and Murtha’s “they killed innocent civilians in cold blood” speech. We’ve still got a lot of educating to do!
The most difficult barrier to Irey victory was local media. If you remember, the Irey campaign had almost daily press releases in the last three weeks of the campaign. All local media recieved them, none were reported.
The Irey ground game alone, although formidable, could not make up the gap created by the suppression of truth by the media.
Murtha’s got his own ground game going with the local press, no question.
Sometimes I think we just need a candidate to declare, “I’ll out-pork Murtha!”. Whoever runs against Murtha in 08 already has the patriot vote. We just need to win over more of the pork-bone suckers and he’s history!
Tip of the Day!...
In case you neighborhood is trending Democrat, this is what to do. -——————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
HOW TO INSTALL A HOME SECURITY SYSTEM:
1. Go to a second-hand store and buy a pair of men’s used size 14-16
work boots.
2. Place them on your front porch, along with several empty beer cans,
a copy of Guns & Ammo magazine and several NRA magazines.
3. Put a few giant dog dishes next to the boots and magazine.
4. Leave a note on your door that reads: Hey Bubba, Big Jim, Duke and Slim, I went to the gun shop for more ammunition. Back in an hour. Don’t mess with the pit bulls — they attacked the mailman this morning and messed him up real bad. I don’t think Killer took part in it but it was hard to tell from all the blood.
PS - I locked all four of ‘em in the house. Better wait outside.
ROTFLMAO...That should work!
