That was tight. So who got in trouble? Was it the lady holding up her arm near the front, or who was it?

Just why do you think those Democrats got so upset over the message delivered by Rep. Jean Schmidt? The message was from a US Marine Colonel to Rep. Murtha, “Cowards cut and run, Marines never do.” The outrage was not because of a lie being told about a decorated Korean and Vietnam war veteran, rather, because it is a bold and very strong truth. The Dems were screaming bloody murder because they know that “they”, not just Rep Murtha, are preceived as cowards by our enemies in the War on Terror. Punks don’t like being called punks. I guess that’s why Libs now want to be called “Progressives”. God bless our troops!

Jean Schmidt: Ball Buster?
The woman who defeated the media darling: David Hackett. Did her comments cross the line? Yes. The way she phrased her statement implied that Rep. Murtha was a coward…he is a decorated war veteran who served his country with courage…

tomorrow’s media spin: “Schmidt calls veteran Murtha a coward”... Obviously that won’t be the headline, but that will be the tone of the coverage, as it is spun in to something it is not. Actually to be honest, I wouldn’t be surprised to see the AP run that as the headline given their history of outright lying headlines.

As a Former Marine all I can say is God bless Colonel Danny Bubp for telling the truth. The Democrat Party are all members of the French Appeasement Party, they are cowards who will run from any fight, but Marines never run!

I just watched a video of a Democrat from earlier today (I’m now watching the debate on CSPAN) complain (can’t recall his exact words or what state he was from) about the Republicans calling for a vote so quickly without adequate time needed to get all the facts and assess the options’ outcomes. WAIT A FARGIN MINUTE! Did he just insinuate that the Democrats who are tossing these accusations (which the terrorists are using as propaganda against us) did so without seeking all the facts? I wish I could remember who this Dem was!

And thank you and God bless you, Umnumzana, for serving our country. Semper Fi. And Aim High… ours just isn’t as cool, but we all (I’m an AF civil engineer) still do our duty to serve and protect our way of life.

elguapo: I was and always will be a Marine and have special feelings for the Corps; But, please don’t get me wrong, I am damn proud of every soldier, airman and sailor in our miltary and that includes you!
We need to stand together whether we are in or out of the miltary and defend those still in uniform.

you can call me the amazing kreskin because (not that it was a tough one) but my prediction here:
http://exposetheleft.com/2005/11/18/cowardsneverrun/#comment-55578
is already coming true
Alan Colmes first question to the first guest J.D. Hayworth was basically “Is it appropriate for one congress person to suggest an opponent in congress is a coward?”
Thanks Alan for proving my point, and everyone’s point about how libs always spin EVERYTHING if they can’t get away with outright lying about it. My prediction was basically referring to articles and reports out tomorrow which I obviously still think we’ll see a wave of, but Colmes beat them all to the punch.

I agree totally. These civilians who never served and think they know all about war, need to quit spreading propaganda about things that they did not see first hand. They have no idea the stresses and sacrafices we endure, (and some of us enjoy with pride) from doing our job. They especially don’t see the good things we see that can and does result from the unfortunate decision of going to war.
I kind of wanted to be a Marine, until they were going to demote me
3 (from E5 to E-2) just to cross over, so I “crossed into the blue” instead (from the Navy). But I’m just as happy and I got to keep my rank.10:17 pm [ Quote ]

I’m watching Fox News, and I see this. Un-BEELEEEEVABLE. I felt like I was in London watching a session of Parliament, rather than sitting in a hotel in downtown Philadelphia. And so it is now with the U.S. Congress. Rabid animals, unhinged, undi…

[...] Hmmm, let me think about this for .008 milliseconds. Are Americans going to side with this shrill, pointy-faced freshman witch in the Worst. Wonder. Woman. Costume. Ever. or a stoic and dignified 73-year-old veteran with 37 years of service in the Marines and over three decades in Congress? Chirp away, lil’ nutters. You’ve way overplayed this hand. This was nothing more than beatoff material for the base and it’s going to backfire badly. Your porn is the rest of America’s snuff film. They will view this stunt with the disgust it deserves. RELATED: Hunter has some good analysis of this debacle. [...]

Suitably Flip: Your said, “they [Democrats] were hoodwinked by an inept and dimwitted President into casting faulty and regrettable votes in favor of the Iraq war. And now,…” It amazes me how you leftists have, from the beginning, charged President Bush with lacking intelligence or the necessary skills to handle the job.
While I am critical of some of his policies and his failure to defend himself, because of him: (a) We have the lowest taxes since Reagan. (b) The economy is booming along and unemployment is lower than ever under Billy Jeff. The income to the Treasury because of his economic policies is skyrocketing. (b) We have successfully fought the war on terrorism in Iraq and Afghanistan, and combined with the global war on terror, the efforts of an improved intelligence system and our Homeland Security we have had no further attacks on U.S. soil. (c) He has won the Texas State House and the White House twice each, and led the Republican Party to control all three branches of government. (d) He has an MBA degree.
I would hope my children would be accused of such inpetness and lack of intelligence!

This entire episode is just too dam rich. It has exposed the left wing idiots for what they are. A bunch political will o’ the wisps who would use our soldiers as a political tool for their gain. Makes me want to literally puke. I have gone from tolerating the left to almost hating them. They are really discusting!

All a consequence of incompetent Republican leadership. They have the best military force in the world, and they managed to place it in a no-win situation, then they criticized those who call a spade a spade.

Umnumzana—usually (almost always) when there is a comment with the first line bolded that means it is a “trackback” .. If you click on the name (at the bottom of the comment) you can see their full post. I think Flip was being sarcastic.

Clausewitz and Murtha
Through Rep. Murtha, the enemy had arrived at the gates of our center of gravity, the “hub of all power and movement.”
The Republicans, by forcing the vote, shut fast those gates.
