We need a "Thank You John Murtha" thread, so here it is.

[Brigid]

There have been several threads about John Murtha's appearance on "Meet The Press" today, but none just to specifically thank him. So here goes:

Thank you, John Murtha. You are saying things that others ought to, but are afraid to say because they are afraid that standing up to the freepers and neocons the way you do might hurt their political careers or something. You are an example to all of us. May all the more timid types in the House and the Senate be inspired.

truth, something this band of thugs cannot do. They are incapable of it. It's nice to have some real strength in our government, and not chickenhawks that hide behind the laws they have dismantled.

for handing timmy the toad his ass this morning on mtpresstitues.

But for people like you I don't even like to think where our country would be right now.

[cspanlovr]

23. Don't you think he's speaking for the Military Brass

that can't speak for themselves? Isn't he their guy in congress? I don't think he'd be saying what he does without the approval of the military.

[partylessinOhio]

24. Thank you, John Murtha! You are a profile in courage.

May God give you strength and a long life so you may continue to stand up for our troops and for this country. It has been a lonely journey for you as of late but I hope many, many more will join you and speak the truth.

Thank you, Thank you!
