VFF member calls Murtha as he sees him (UPDATED)"},"content":{"rendered":"

I’ve been looking for reports from the VFF\/Blackfive mission into Murtha Country this weekend and I’ve only found one so far. It highlights the speech of Shawn Bryan, Marine Sergeant<\/a>.<\/p>\n

During the rally, Shawn Bryan, a former sergeant in the U.S. Marine Corps., said Murtha<\/span> visited his unit in Iraq in 2005. At the time, Murtha<\/span> told the soldiers “what a great job we did,” Bryan said, only to see him tell his district back home he no longer supported the effort.<\/p>\n

Bryan said he didn’t put his life on the line for his country “just so some fat little bastard can come back and run his mouth.<\/strong>“<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

It was the second time during his speech that Bryan, who flew in from Albuquerque, New Mexico, had called Murtha<\/span> a “fat little bastard” during his speech.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Heh, again. The PolitickerPA.com<\/a> story went on to point out;<\/p>\n

His remarks were not publicly repudiated at the rally.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

What’s to repudiate?Is Murtha not fat? Is Murtha not a bastard?<\/p>\n

Bill Russell, former Army LTC running against Murtha, defended Bryan’s remarks;<\/p>\n

In an interview after the rally, Russell told PolitickerPA.com<\/em> Bryan’s comments didn’t reflect his own feelings, but he did the defend the fellow veteran.<\/p>\n

The remarks are reflective of the anger many marines, who have lost dozens of fellow soldiers during combat, feel toward Murtha<\/span>, he said.<\/p>\n

“Am I going to throw him under the bus for it?” Russell asked. “No. I understand — he’s going to say what he believes.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Murtha had better stay off of this forum if he takes offense at being called a fat little bastard. My readers and I have some more descriptive adjectives to describe him.<\/p>\n

Michelle Malkin <\/a>writes that Murtha is worried and brought the big guns to rescue him from what looks like certain defeat.<\/p>\n

PolitickerPA<\/a> also writes this morning that Murtha got a hot meat injection from MoveOn.org this weekend to the tune of $187,000;<\/p>\n

\n

Since issuing a last-minute appeal to MoveOn.org\u2019s fundraising list on Wednesday, the organization has infused Murtha\u2019s campaign with over $187,000 in cash, according to Federal Election Commission records.<\/span><\/p>\n

Murtha\u2019s ramped-up fundraising efforts comes just days after receiving heated criticism for saying in a media interview that residents in his Southeastern Pennsylvania district are \u201cracist\u201d and \u201crednecks.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Murtha\u2019s re-election, once seemingly assured, is now in doubt. <\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

So if Murtha wins, he’s going to owe a big debt to the vacuous trolls of MoveOn – if he loses, he’s going to jail. In another interview<\/a>, Russell seems sure of his chances to pull one out tomorrow;<\/p>\n

“He is running scared,” Russell said of his opponent today. “He’s engaged in negative attacks that aren’t based on principal or policy.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
