"A MASSACRE" is how U.S. Rep. Maurice Hinchey says history will remember the U.S. attack on Iraq.
A Kingston-area veteran called Hinchey "sick" and said the congressman should "shut his damned mouth."
Hinchey, D-22nd Dist., said in a recent letter that the current military action -- which has widespread support among the American public but which he opposes -- will result in the United States becoming a "pariah" to the rest of the world.

KEYWORDS: hinchey; iraq; ithaca; massacre; mauricehinchey; newyork; thecityofevil
In addition to the Kinston area, Hinchey, of course, represents
Ithaca, the City of Evil.
Congratultions to Tompkins County Republican Chair Mark Finklestein for publicizing these hateful remarks in the more conservative areas of Hinchey's district.

”...Hinchey wrote the letter before the war started..." Dissent is one thing, out and out lying is another and this six term socialist democrat is the latter – a liar and a hysterical alarmist. I shudder to think what would have happened had Al Gore been successful in his fraudulent effort to use lawyers and crooked democrat committee people in Florida to make him president. Ithaca had better clean their closets of these socialists who vote party and not principal; lots of these cockroaches infesting the town...and state...

I guess he feels more of our guys should die to make it even- less of a one sided victory. The idiots with the D's after their names continue to self destruct.

Hinchey's atrocious letter should be the cornerstone for his defeat in the next election.
Some of us will not forget, nor let the public forget.

"Mr. Hinchey is ... effectively sending a message to the world, and notably to our troops, that the U.S. and our soldiers are engaging in war crimes," Finkelstein said."
The communist leftists, along with the Islamists and with the United Nations(nations united against peace), have joined together to wage political war against the right wing(those who will protect peace through strength only when necessary and love truth always)while shamefully using propaganda and misinformation to further their unrightious and unholy causes; they must be defeated! What is incrediable is their increasing arrogance and disregard of America's laws and assault of our constitutional rights and protections

Hinchey spokesman Kevin O'Connell: Hinchey wrote the letter before the war started. A pitiful distortion by Hinchey's aide. The letter was dated March 22, 2003.
