MURTHA CAMPAIGN STILL DISSEMBLING

Monday, August 07, 2006

Shoot-from-the-lip Congressman's campaign now picks up where he left off

(MONONGAHELA, August 7) -- Washington County Commissioner and Pennsylvania 12th district Republican Congressional nominee Diana Irey -- responding to yet another misleading statement from Jack Murtha's campaign -- today released the following statement:

"First it was Jack Murtha who was making misstatements of fact. Now it's his campaign. When will Jack Murtha and the people around him stop spreading falsehoods, and start telling the truth?

"Today his campaign posted a press release to its web site, claiming that I have made what it calls 'untrue attacks' against Jack Murtha.

"What, specifically, have I said about Jack Murtha that is 'untrue?'

"Jack Murtha, not I, was the one who said that U.S. Marines had 'killed innocent civilians in cold blood' before all the evidence was in.

"Jack Murtha, not I, was the one who said he got his information about the events at Haditha from Gen. Michael Hagee, the Commandant of the Marine Corps -- a claim specifically denied last week by a Marine Corps spokesman, who said Gen. Hagee didn't brief Jack Murtha until a week AFTER Mr. Murtha made his outrageous comments.

"Jack Murtha, not I, said in response to George Stephanopoulos' question about whether or not there was a 'cover-up' of the events at Haditha, 'No question about it … I mean, it goes right up the chain of command. Right up to General Pace. When did he know about it? Did he order the cover-up? Who ordered the cover-up?' -- a claim specifically refuted in the Bargewell Report, which says there was NO deliberate cover-up, according to The Los Angeles Times and various other media outlets that have reported on its contents.

"When Harry Truman ran for President in 1948, supporters would shout 'Give 'em hell, Harry!' and his response was 'I don't give 'em hell. I just give 'em the truth, and they THINK it's hell!' Now I know how Harry Truman felt.

"There are 92 days left in this campaign. The good news is, that's plenty of time to make sure the voters of the 12th District know just who Jack Murtha really is."

I'm Lovin' It! Thanks Dave!

[smoothsailing]

Now? The history of Jack and "Kit" is well-documented, glad Savage has figured it out.

[Grampa Dave]

Murtha's, Kerry's, Kennedy's, Dean, Pelosi, Clintoon's, Durbin's, Leahy's ans Sheehan's version of patriotism is explained with the little banner below:

Hatriotics's version of Patriotism is Treason!

The thread said: ...another misleading statement from Jack Murtha's campaign.

My question is: What was the source for Murtha's statement? Was it a newpaper article? If so, Diana Irey should have her response published in the same newsaper rather than on her website.

[Sisku Hanne]

I'm sure the "Johnstown Trumpet Democrat" will get right on it.

[smoothsailing]

The source? Murtha's website.

Unless I missed your point,Diana's response statement is directed to a statement on Murtha's website.

Read her statement again, nd, the source is referred to.

[no dems]

My bad. I just wanted to make sure the local press wasn't giving him any special attention.

[smoothsailing]

The local press is just that, local. When they get around to doing their homework, they'll be embarassed by their ignorance of what Murtha represents.

It is totally obvious that Mr Murtha has reached the point of senility. If I am wrong and he is not senile, he is in need of removal for stupidity.....

[smoothsailing]

The best I can figure about Murtha is this, he doesn't care anymore about anything, character, principles, truth, none of it matters.

I'm not certain what that's called, having never experienced it.

I hope if I ever get that way someone will have the good sense to put me away.

Their is a thin line between the thinking of the Ilamic radicals and the democrats, IMHO. Both are ignorant and power mad.... And Mr Murtha is definitely a democrat...

[Positive]

Who is that????

[smoothsailing]

Send Diana Irey some money!

Diana's website

[ChadGore]

[Positive]

[freema]

Forget the hammer gif, it's not at all applicable. She's a power driver

[RedRover]

I think he could have a Capt. Queeg moment pretty soon....

It was the strawberries! Diana Irey started taking my strawberries! That's when I knew I was going to lose my comfy seat in Congress!

[smoothsailing]

(And I'm stealing it!)

ROFLOL!
