But of course, he's Brit Hume.  Nevermind that what he said was correct and tossed political correctness and passiveness out the window and is, likely, and in my opinion as well, true.  The libs will say........"yea but that's Brit Hume, and it's on Fox News"

Yep, so what.  I say Wolf Blitzer is on CNN, but that seems to be no problem to the libs.  Gotta love it.

Murtha gets tons of airtime.  Why not Senator Johnson, Vietnam POW?  I realize Murtha is out there shooting off his mouth, where Johnson is not.  That's part of it, sure.  The bigger part of it is liberal media.  Can you see them giving Johnson equal time with Murtha?  Never.  Would just be a time-waster for them in pushing their agenda.  Not very efficient for their cause.

Brit Hume is  is right.

...and liberalism is a disease of the mind.

You forgot the part where Ron Williams backed Murtha up and tried to explain how there are more people out there who do think Iraq won't fall apart if we leave.

Williams is a nice guy.  More than that, he is sincere.  Bill Kristol put it well - Williams speaks from the heart and what he truly believes.  He isn't playing politics (most of the time).  I can respect that ------- like I had respect for Paul Wellstone though I might have frequently disagreed with his positions on issues...

...but sometimes, the stuff that comes out of Ron Williams' mouth makes me want to pull either my or his hair out.......like his defense of Murtha...

and sometimes I get the feeling Brit and Bill want to pull Ron's hair out too...

The Dems chose Murtha as a spokesperson for one reason only:  He could be portrayed as a "war hero", and thus could be said to have credibility when he spoke out against the war.  But the attention has clearly gone to his head.  He was someone most of America had never heard of before a couple of years ago.  Now he thinks he deserves more time in the spotlight.  He was no more qualified as an expert on the military and diplomacy than a local McDonald's manager is qualified to be promoted to the CEO of the whole corporation.

John Murtha is a crook and should have been tried and convicted 12 years ago in the ABSCAM investigation.

I too think he has a problem with his illustrious military career as he refuses to release his service records.

Nobody would do that unless they have something to hide, not a proud Marine so I suspect he had some real problems in the military.

He is a traitor to his country-IMHO

Is this Mexico or the USA

WaPo slipped this article in (on their web site) at 1 AM on Christmas morning, to insure minimum coverage. Bet most folks have never seen it! It is a rare Lame Stream Report which tells the truth about St. Murtha.

I think I have a whole new respect for Brit Hume. All I can say is that it is about time that someone started pointing out that these Elected Democrats are a bunch of freaking idiots. They're so slow, that even the short bus passes them by.

I swear, I thought that a Republican style government was supposed to protect us from having this many idiots in the Congress... what frightens me is that this means that all those who voted for these people are just as stupid. The older I get, the more I realize that people are just plain stupid. When I was younger, I just wrote it off as a difference of opinion, but now I know it's pure stupidity breeding more ignorance and stupidity... I have great fear for our country.

I really hate how some like to refer to those who have served in the military as military experts or heroes.  In most cases they are neither.  The military is manned by the same people that flip burgers at McDonalds or lose your mail.  Donning a uniform does not make you an expert on military affairs anymore than wearing a McDonalds uniform makes you an MBA in the service industry.  Most people seem to bestow "hero" status based on medals or ribbons, but few realize that the process for receiving these is about as honest as how cement contracts are awarded in New York City, and that most real heroes never receive any commendation because they just don't seek it.

Someone who's a real hero, or a true expert on military issues, doesn't have to announce their status to the World, doesn't have to show a chest full of medals, or show their service record.  Their actions, then and now, will always do the speaking for them.  They will always do things that are in the best interest of the service and servcie members.  As for Murtha... based on his actions since leaving the service I think it's safe to say his highest level of achievement was he served, and anything above that is just a lot of self-aggrandizement.

I'll put Murtha's war record up to the Hume's any day of the week.  Hume was what anyone here would call a "liberal draft dodger".  He got out of going to Vietnam to become a journalist,  who worked for Jack Anderson. In doing so, he had a hand in bringing down Nixon, which I applaud him for.  At one point, he was under surveillance by the CIA for publishing classified documents concerning Nixon'x position on the Indo-Pakistani War in 1971.

Hume finally realized there was more money reporting unfair and unbalanced news so he left ABC for Fox.

Murtha is good example why there should be age and term limits for those who serve in Congress. I guess I am using my parents as the reason why I feel like this. They are both in there mid to late 70's, both in relative good health, however they do not always think clearly.

Alas, I am only dreaming because there will never be congressional reform because congress answers to no one but themselves.
