Fight the 'Rove Machine's Traitor Talk,' Murtha Says

(CNSNews.com) - Rep. John Murtha (D-Pa.) complains that Republicans are labeling Democrats as traitors "if you stand up and question them" on the Iraq War.

"Enough," Murtha said in a Friday email message written on behalf of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee -- a group that aims to shift control of the House from Republicans to Democrats.

"To all the Republicans who sit in their air-conditioned offices and talk of the courage it takes for them to keep young kids in harm's way -- I say enough. Karl Rove talking about 'cutting and running' while he sits on his big, fat backside, saying 'stay the course.' I say enough! That's not a plan!," Murtha fumed. (He said something similar -- and oft-quoted -- on NBC's Meet the Press last Sunday)

"It's clear we need a Democratic majority to chart a new course," Murtha wrote. He said he doesn't expect every member of Congress to agree with the details of his own troop redeployment plan (he has suggested "redeploying" U.S. troops in Iraq to Okinawa, Japan). "But I did expect them to acknowledge that there is more to be done than sitting and watching."

3. The sliming of Murtha will now begin in earnest.

Hannity, Rush, Coulter et al who have been "restrained" on attacking Murtha are going to ratchet it up for the next 4 months.
