Faux Smears Murtha !
Hume: Murtha Is Senile, Doesn’t Have ‘The Foggiest Awareness’ Of What’s Going On In The World
This morning on Fox News, Brit Hume launched a scathing diatribe against Rep. John Murtha’s (D-PA) character. “It’s time a few things be said about him,” Hume said. “This guy is long past the day when he had anything but the foggiest awareness of what the heck is going on in the world.” Hume called Murtha an “absolute fountain” of “naivete.” Watch it:

1. Keep Disconnecting With The Military...
Here's hoping the DCCC is working on their next crop of war veterans as the Democrats are becoming more and more the party the military is turning to to clean up the mess their blind allegience to the GOOP has created. It hasn't worked its way totally through the ranks, but the longer this disasterous invasion continues the bigger a price goons like Fumes and his Repugnican hive dwellers will pay. The days of 80% of the military falling over themselves to vote for Repugnicans is over.

2. And the trash at Fox News
knows more about what it going on in the world than Murtha. None of them ever fought in a war to defend this country so that gives them the knowledge to slam and smear those that have. Amazing, mentality of republics.

4. The faux news propaganda machine inside and outside the WH........
Edited on Mon Feb-19-07 09:51 AM by Double T
is in maximum overdrive; the WH is getting desperate over the possibility of losing their 'war' powers. Love the African American journalist's smack down of Brit Hume to HIS face.

5. the republicons all HATE anyone who served honorably in the military
Edited on Mon Feb-19-07 09:59 AM by SpiralHawk
Because they are all ashamed of their cowardly chickenhawk status.

George AWOL Bush
Dick 'Five Military Deferments' Cheney
Rush 'Anal Cyst' Limbaugh
Sean "Can't mess up my Gucci loafers" Hannity
Bill "I never served a day' O'Reilly


So what they do is to tear down men and women who actually served the USA honorably, like Murtha. It is the lowest form of cowardice every foisted upon America.

Republicons -- Why do they HATE our troops and our veterans?

7. Actually, this was on Fox News Sunday at their Round Table, panel
although it doesn't make much difference. He was still representing Fox News.

8. Dangerous--When the top Anchor at any news channel;
comes out with such statements--this is a serious
move to discredit, marginalize , swiftboat the person
being attacked.

Undoubtedly, the WH and Republicans do not want Democrats
to have anyone with Military Credibily out speaking
against their war plans. Their winning combination
is smear and "kill" the messenger. Belittle him in eyes
of American people so he has no influence.

I find it shocking that Anchors are permitting themselves
to be used in this way.

Since I am an equal opportunity exposer, CNN"s Soledad OBrian
could very well be hired as the RNC Chairman.
As an Anchor, she wurprised the world with her interview
with Sen. Schumer, DNC.

She ended part of her diatribe by saying the Dems lost or failed
the Middle Class. Why did you not vote to cut funding??
In 2008 you will lose because Bush will not be running.

In other words she spit out questions that could have easly
been prepared by KRove. Went so fast, Schumer could hardly
answer, almost screaming---you will lose in 2008.

I thought to myself--the Republicans should have recruited
her to take Mehlmans' place when he left RNC.

Appropriate Anchor behvior.


We cnnot let the Republicans marginalize Murtha.

9. Fox News Sunday
Heard it and wondered why the hell Chris Wallace, as host, and Juan Williams, as a supposed liberal member of the panel, did not step in immediatley, talk over Brit and tell him that was uncalled for and Murtha deserves an apology.

That's the thing with Faux News. They say fair and balanced, but the liberals never speak up when the conservatives lie and of course the hosts never do.

10. Is Brit Hume an android controlled by Dick Cheney?
Every word that comes out of his mouth sounds like it's coming directly from Bigus Dickus.

12. Does anyone know exactly
What Murtha comments Hume was talking about, the whole context of Murtha's comments?

I am having this argument with a neoCON but don't know exactly what Murtha was supposed to have said. Of course the neoCON can't or won't tell me...just parroting Hume.

Thanks.
