		<description>I have personally experienced IEDs, small arms fire and rockets. During my 14 months in the box we joked about it every day. That was just a part of getting through it. If you can&#039;t stop it, the only thing you can do is laugh at it. Do I, an ex-soldier feel that McCain owes me an apology for joking about IEDs? NO, nor do I want an apology from the guys I joked about it with for over a year. The fight between these two has been brewing for years. The fact that Murtha is using my-self and my fellow soldiers as ammunition against McCain is more offensive to me than the Joke that McCain told.</description>

		<description>&gt;Bruce, you bumbling, but loveable idiot. I did not say I did not know what &gt;a Purple Heart was. I have been privileged to see them up close and &gt;personal. I asked how about Murtha or Kerryâ€™s Purple Heart wounds 

My name is John but I assume your talking to me since im the one calling you out in this. You asked about combat/military experience you moron...

That is what I responded. Now when your idiocy is outed, you suddenly want to know  &quot;Where did he get his TWO purple hearts AND his Cross of Gallantry?&quot;

http://en.wikipedia.org/ wiki/ Vietnamese_Cross_of_Gallantry

â€œAlso known as the Vietnamese Cross of Gallantry, the Gallantry Cross is awarded to any military personnel who have accomplished deeds of valor or displayed heroic conduct while fighting an enemy force.â€

Gee, I don&#039;t know..I&#039;d say statiscially the chances of all 3 of these medals being gotten for false or petty reasons is pretty close to nil. Especially since he got one from the SK army as well. Maybe you can dig up some neocon flaghumper scumbag willing to go on Tv and say so. You people will say anything to slander those who disagree with you.

Got any evidence at all that Murtha&#039;s medals wern&#039;t properly earned?

Like exley, your pretty demanding about seeing absolute proof/knowing every single detail when it comes to something or someone you disagree with. But if Preznit Bush says something, boy, don&#039;t ask for any proof or verification there huh? Bomb, kill, and imprison first, and ask questions never.

Your pathetic. Again, I&#039;m sorry your so horribly ugly but thats no reason to spread your malicious bile from that puckered oozing vagina you call lips.</description>

		<description>Some people still don&#039;t seem to understand why Murtha favors re-instating the draft: it will fill our streets with millions upon millions of people who will voice theier opposition to the war ONLY because they will have a stake in it.</description>

		<description>&lt;em&gt;But as our enemy is not a force to be negotiated or appeased, there is not substitute for engaging and killing our enemyâ€¦.make no mistake. They want you dead as much (or more) than me.

		<description>Bruce, if youâ€™re going to LIE about meâ€¦.at least read what I wroteâ€¦you wonâ€™t get caught with your pants downâ€¦â€¦.what a repulsive thought!
Tooodlesâ€¦..
Comment by vile venus 

Many of us, including Bruce Gorton obviously, saw your dead child joke when you were posting as Mighty  Aphrodite.  It&#039;s you who have been caught  lying and  with your pants down, and it&#039;s repulsive indeed, Mighty Hypocrite.
Ps. Why don&#039;t you check on your own  about how Murtha earned his Purple Hearts?  Don&#039;t expect everyone else to do basic research for you.</description>

		<description>Okay, McCain tells a joke on the Daily Show.  What about the joke that Murta (Democrat) is still around after contemplating selling out for the bribe in the ABSCAM tape.  

Here&#039;s McCain&#039;s apology.  &quot;I&#039;m sorry for telling an incensitive joke on a comedy show (even though I sacrificed 5 1/2 years of my life as a POW for this country).

This could be Murtha&#039;s apology.  I apologize that my lack of an original political point of view has resulted in my selling out this country for a second time.  In my greed for more political power, I have engaged in dishonest defeatist rhetoric that undermines our troops and their efforts in the middle east.  I only hope that my efforts will only weaken our country temporarily.  (Long enough to enjoy the power my naive progressive friends have entrusted me with).</description>

And Kerry&#039;s joke? McCain got very self-righteous over it and had absolutely no problem demanding an appology from Kerry. All we are saying is, McCain should drop the double standard here.</description>

		<description>VV is your common rightwinger everyone. Take a look at her, take a long hard look.

She has not problem with spouting outright lies like &quot;Saddam had links to Al Qaeada&quot; in order to try and make her point.

She claims to be married to a soldier, yet she doesn&#039;t even know what a purple heart represents. I know what a purple heart represents and I am not even an American.

She even at one point, gloated about her child dying, and having one of that child&#039;s siblings, comfort her by telling her that at least her dead kid didn&#039;t grow up to have differing political views to her. She thought it was sweet, most sane people, would take it as a sign of child abuse.

Frankly, VV has nothing to contribute to this blog, she has only repeatedly posted well known lies, let me be the first to ask that she get banned, and her IP logged. Sure, dissenting views are worthwhile, but frankly combating her lies, doesn&#039;t further the discussion. She is a waste of our time, in a time of crisis.

If any real conservatives are reading, know that I kind of consider you suspect as people, mainly due to the example provided by those like VV. If you could join this discussion and show that really your side is not quite that batshit insane, or that reliant of lies, I would apreciate it as I do like arguing with people whose arguments I can at least trust for their honesty.

Thankyou.</description>

		<description>&lt;strong&gt;&quot;There is NEVER any discussion to derail on this site.&quot;&lt;/strong&gt;

Hey Hag, the title of this thread is: &quot;Murtha Slams McCain Over â€˜Outrageousâ€™ IED Joke&quot;.  Try posting something, anything, on topic.

I&#039;d suggest you light a candle so you can more easily read in the dark, but you might end up exploding rectal gas.</description>

		<description>As best I can tell McCain was jinxed as a pilot. He crashed a plane while training. His jet was blownup by &#039;friendly fire&#039; while still on the deck of an aircraft carrier and the explosions that followed killed over 100 sailors. Then he was shot down and captured by the North Vietnamese.

The guy is jinxed. And there&#039;s no need to respect him. Privately, he has always told offensive, offcolor, insensitive, sexist and racist jokes. &quot;Why is Chelsea Clinton so ugly?...&quot; And he was a member of the corrupt Keating Five. He&#039;s not to be respected. And he&#039;s not presidential material. Not unless you want more of what you have now.</description>

		<description>&lt;strong&gt;Well, I suppose if you think â€œnational securityâ€ is a topical diversion,&lt;/strong&gt;

Yes, hag, it is a topical diversion from whether or not McCain&#039;s joke was inappropriate, as has been everything you&#039;ve posted on this thread.

I&#039;ll ask again, hag, who do you think you&#039;re fooling? Your only purpose here is to divert, and it&#039;s quite transparent.</description>

		<description>Tweety - There is NEVER &lt;strong&gt;any &lt;/strong&gt;discussion to derail on this site.  If you consider  &quot;I HATE George Bush  more than you!!&quot;, &quot;All Repukes are evil, greedy ....and did I say EVIL?&quot;,  &quot;The right to kill my offspring is the MOST important right a woman can have!&quot;, &quot;The Right Reverends Jackson and Sharpton are the most selfless &quot;teacher/preachers&quot; TODAY!&quot;, &quot;Can you imagine how much more beholdin&#039; poor people would be to the Left if we could only take the &quot;war dole&quot; and hand it out to the victims of American racism and capitalism?&quot;....then you prefer monologues to dialogues.... Why am I not surprised?</description>

		<description>&quot; which is then followed by a string of topical diversions. Who do you think youâ€™re fooling, hag?&quot;   Comment by gorn by any other name

Well, I suppose if you think &quot;national security&quot; is a topical diversion, your ad hominem might be emotionally understandable.   If you think &quot;declaring defeat&quot; and allowing anti-US elitists to cry about safeguarding ourselves from further terror attacks is a topical diverson you are an ideal member of the &quot;I hate George Bush&quot; bandwagon.  

But as our enemy is not a force to be negotiated or appeased, there is not substitute for engaging and killing our enemy....make no mistake.  They want you dead as much (or more) than me.

Now go crawl under the covers.....</description>
