I’ve noticed that John Murtha is not getting a lot of respect on this thread. This fact confirms my longheld belief that Freepers are very much aware of the realities in life and astute judges of their fellow man.

During his time on earth, John Murtha did much to demean it. The world is a better place without him.

May the world now rest in peace.


And this is one FReeper and retired Army NCO who intends to keep Murtha’s grave forever green...

To: worst-case scenario
may God show mercy unto him.

Just like Murtha showed to the men and women in uniform during a time of war.

I hope Murtha gets his just rewards wherever he ends up.

**Passed away an hour ago...post-op complications due to gall bladder surgery. Dead at 77 years old.**

Prayers for his family — even though he (D) was not really FOR the troops as he claimed.

A pity he died before the revolution, but I suppose we can dig up his body and hang it.

For his military service as a Marine, and for his time in Vietnam, for which he received a Bronze star and two Purple Hearts, may he be buried at Arlington.

For what he said about our Marines in Iraq, may his tombstone be a working Latrine.

‘nuff said.

And in the same attitude, I would reply that Murtha's death was probably a Dem Party black operation....

“I can’t imagine what would cause this unless it was MRSA”

MRSA usually does not cause death so quickly.

Did the guy have a black eye where he ran into the back of the ambulance when it came to a sudden stop outside the hospital?

These vultures can't let the body get cold before they are picking it for political points.

Sheesh.... And some of us here on this thread are called crude.

Sung to `Pore Jud is Daid`, From `Oklahooma`



Pore John is daid,
Pore John Murtha’s daid,
All gather 'round his cawfin now and cry
He had a heart of lead
And he was so very red
Oh why’d it take the feller so long to die?

Pore John is daid
Pore John Murtha’s daid,
He's lookin' oh so peaceful and serene

He's all laid out to rest
With his hands acrost his chest
His fingernails have never been so clean!

Then the preacher'd get up and he'd say:

Folks, we are gathered here to moan and groan over our brother John Murtha,
whose gall bladder went atomic at the gov’mint hospital.

Then there'd be weepin' and wailin'... from some of those women. Then he'd say:

John was the most misunderstood man in this here congress. People think he is a mean ugly feller and they
called him a dirty skunk and and pork maker

But the folks that really knowed him.

Knowed that beneath them two dirty shirts he always wore

There beat a heart t’was fulla graft.

John Murtha loved his contributors, but

He hated the birds of the air and the beasts of the field. He did love the mice and the vermin in congress, and
he treated those rats like equals, which was bad.
And he couldn't stand children. He was irritated by everybody and everything in the whole world!
He always said this, but everybody ignored it so he kept being re-elected.

Pore John is Daid
Pore John Murtha’s daid
His friends'll may mourn for a minute or two.

The daisies in the dell
will give out a better smell
Because Pore John is underneath the ground.

Pore John is daid
A Candle lights his haid
He's layin' in a cawfin made of gold

And folks are feelin' glad
Cause John useter treat them bad
But now they know the crook is gone for good
Pore John is Daid a candle lights his haid!
He's lookin' oh so purty and so nice
He looks like he's asleep,
It's a shame that he won't keep
Cause there’s new green laws, and we're running out of ice.

“...isn’t this death a little more important at this time?”

Why?

Whatever.

I’m through with offering condolences for dead socialists that would deny my liberties before they assumed room temperature.

To Our Dear Readers...Our Final Post

If you're visiting this blog today, you have no doubt heard or read that John Murtha has died.

We at Murtha Must Go!! feel sorrow for the family of Congressman John Murtha and extend our condolences. It is never easy to lose a loved one; we wish them well, and it is our hope that they will not take the remainder of this post personally against them.

It gives me no pleasure to write the following; but since May 21st, 2006, this blog has stood as a record of the type of public servant Congressman Murtha was; and it is important, therefore, for purposes of the integrity of this blog, to keep the record straight.

It is for this reason that I close with this:

While we indeed do extend heartfelt condolences to the family of John Murtha, at the same time, we extend our condolences to the taxpayers whose money, in our opinion, John Murtha usurped and squandered in his efforts to seal his stranglehold on power and to line his own campaign war chest.

We extend our condolences to our troops, who will never receive an apology for John Murtha's decision to label their mission in Iraq a failure, as a means of cementing his own political fortune with the far-left power structure in congress and their benefactors; thus opening the door to years of badmouthing their mission and/or outright verbal sabotage by high ranking democrat officials.

But most of all, we extend our deepest condolences to the Haditha Marines and their loving families, who will now never receive a formal apology (at least in this lifetime) for their sacred honor being besmirched by Murtha when he told the bald-faced lie about the 'massacre' at Haditha that never happened.

There are people in this world who leave as their legacy an example of how to live their lives in service to others.

Others, like Murtha, leave as their legacy an example of how not to do it.

As twitter compatriot @wilsonpd stated, "... and may God forgive him for his treachery and perfidy here on earth. Amen!"

And, Amen.

Leo Pusateri
Founder and editor, Murtha Must Go!!
