WASHINGTON (AP) -- The Navy says it is forging ahead with its decision to name a warship for the late Rep. John Murtha, despite protests the decorated Vietnam War veteran was disloyal in his 2006 accusation that Marines had murdered Iraqi civilians.
Three Facebook sites opposing the Navy's April 2010 decision bristle with thousands of angry postings.

Who the hell was the idiot who signed off on this? They should be keelhauled under a carrier! Sec Nav Ray Mabus is the turkey responsible for this abomination, he's no better than the corrupt ABSCAM Murtha in my view.

Why would they name a ship the U.S.S. Traitor?They'll probably go for something more subtle, like USS Abscam.

What, Alger Hiss doesn't get a shout out from the Navy? Or possibly the U.S.S Walker since it could represent three spies/traitors who also happened to be in the Navy.

The Traitors in our midst love to rub our noses in sh!t.
It’s like the FED putting Andrew Jackson on the twenty.
Andrew Jackson killed the second Central Bank of this country.
The third Central Bank puts him on the twenty dollar bill out of spite.
Jackson is claimed to have said on his death bed, “I killed the bank”.
Evil filth the FED.

Another insult and humiliation for the United States Marine Corps, not from a military foe, but from their own higher command.
SecNav Mabus should reconsider this offensive and disrespectful act.

Despicable! The only thing that should be named after Murtha is a toxic waste dump, or maybe one of those barges they float around to collect polluted bilge water from ships in port.

USS John Murtha? Sir you should be drug tested immediately.
You dishonor every Sailor and Marine that has ever served (except John Murtha) or will ever serve.
John Kerry was Decorated, I suppose upon his passing he would be on your short list for the next ship as well.
You may have NO HONOR
but now you have a Legacy.
Our Enemies past, present and future owe you a great debt for you have accomplished what they could not.
