They're going after Murtha
One of the more disgusting aspects of the 2004 Presidential campaign was the "swift-boating" of Sen. John Kerry, a decorated Vietnam War--and anti-war--hero. Vietnam War bitter-enders on the right set out to destroy Kerry through lies, half-truths, and slander. Now they're planning to do the same thing to U.S. Rep. John Murtha, the Pennsylvania congressman who has become the conscience of the Congress on the disastrous Iraq War. Murtha wants our troops out of there now.
Raw Story has the latest on the rightwing effort to destroy Murtha. I have no doubt Murtha knew what he faced by becoming a public spokesman against the war, and it is a tribute to his courage that he never wavered.
