Mandatory Smear

Brent Bozell and friends have decided to play smear merchants this time. Seems Murtha didn't deserve his metals.

Bailey said during the time Murtha was being investigated for his role in the Abscam FBI sting in 1980, Murtha made a confession on the House floor.... you admitted, back in our corner, that you didn't earn your purple hearts (sic) (you indicated you had small scratch on your cheek that wasn't even directly related to an APC [Armored Personnel Carrier] that ran over a small antipersonnel mine that was behind you). The other purple heart [sic] you even declined to explain," wrote Bailey in an open letter dated May 5, 2002.

You really have to read the whole thing to realize how full of holes and "familiar" this is.

Maybe it would be good to hear him in his own words.

Murtha or Kerry individually has more medals than the current entire administration combined. They went, they served, they risked their lives. More than the entire administration put together! Unless you include the Texas great american award. If that is an issue, I don't think this is one they want to bring up. Each individually make the blabbering idiots look.....like blabbering idiots.
