Rep. John Murtha passes away.
Rep. John Murtha passes away.
Democratic Rep. John Murtha (PA), who served in Congress since 1974, passed away today. Murtha had been in intensive care after complications arose from his gall bladder surgery a couple of weeks ago. The statement from his office:
Congressman John P. Murtha (PA-12) passed away peacefully this afternoon at 1:18 p.m. at Virginia Hospital Center in Arlington, VA. At his bedside was his family.
Murtha, 77, was Chairman of the House Appropriations Subcommittee on Defense.
First elected to the U.S. House of Representatives in February of 1974, Murtha dedicated his life to serving his country both in the military and in the halls of Congress. A former Marine, he became the first Vietnam War combat Veteran elected to the U.S. Congress.
This past Saturday, February 6, 2010, Murtha became Pennsylvania’s longest serving Member of Congress.
Murtha was close to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), who supported his bid to become Majority Leader, but he was eventually beaten by Steny Hoyer (MD). During the Bush administration, Murtha became a forceful, outspoken voice for Iraq redeployment. In November 2005, the former Marine and Iraq war hawk came out and called for an immediate U.S. withdrawal in Iraq. His stance was a turning point in the war debate, clearing the way for more Democrats to speak up. “The U.S. cannot accomplish anything further in Iraq militarily. It is time to bring them home,” he declared. Murtha had also been dogged by ethics allegations regarding earmarks and his relationship with defense contractors.

RIP Big John.
February 8th, 2010 at 3:01 pmMy condolences.
February 8th, 2010 at 3:02 pmThank you for your service in the armed forces. Rest In Peace John Murtha.
February 8th, 2010 at 3:05 pmFair winds and following seas, sir. Your country is grateful for your services.
February 8th, 2010 at 3:09 pmvery sad – we lost another good one – God bless you John
February 8th, 2010 at 3:09 pmIn before wingnuts dancing on his grave.
February 8th, 2010 at 3:10 pmRest in peace, Rep. Murtha. You served in the military, then became a advocate for our servicemen and -women as a Congressman. You spoke out against the way two misbegotten wars were waged when others did not. Thank you for your service to this country, both in war and in Congress. While I did not always agree with you, you had my respect. We’ll not see the like of you in quite some time.
February 8th, 2010 at 3:11 pmMurtha was a war hero, a dedicated public servant, and a tireless crusader for his blue-collar constituents. He’ll be greatly missed.
February 8th, 2010 at 3:12 pmI’m sure the right-wingers will be speaking ill of the dead before long. They’ll call it “satire” of course (even though I’m sure they don’t know what it means).
RIP
February 8th, 2010 at 3:14 pmHaaaand salute!
Farewell to a truly strong American marine.
February 8th, 2010 at 3:16 pmMurtha had been in intensive care after complications arose from his gall bladder surgery a couple of weeks ago.
– - Good medical care is expensive. Unfortunately, so is bad medical care.
Requiescat in pace, Mr. Murtha.
February 8th, 2010 at 3:17 pmRIP.
February 8th, 2010 at 3:17 pmMy deepest condolences to the family.
Rest in peace, my friend. :(
February 8th, 2010 at 3:17 pmMurtha was what men used to refer to as a straight shooter.
You may not always agree with him but if he gave his word on something, you could count on it.
February 8th, 2010 at 3:20 pmwhat? where are all the cancervaturds maligning the man, showing that they’re “compassionate cancervaturds”?
February 8th, 2010 at 3:25 pmRIP. His willingness to stand up to the Bushies helped some of the anti-war Democrats find their spine.
February 8th, 2010 at 3:29 pmwhere are all the cancervaturds maligning the man, showing that they’re “compassionate cancervaturds”?

February 8th, 2010 at 3:29 pmAlthough far from perfect, as we all are, the man had guts. He will be missed. RIP.
February 8th, 2010 at 3:33 pmThe circle of Life as Rep. Murtha loved his State and served the citizens. Now comes the haters as the GOP will attack this seat like they did Kennedys. The Teabaggers/GOP still don’t get it but they will on the way out, ” you come in this world with nothing and leave with nothing but will be judged by your personal Book of Life”.
February 8th, 2010 at 3:33 pmoh no…
sincere condolences… r.i.p., sir…

complications from gall bladder surgery ???
i heard there was mistaken perforation…
that’s not “just one of those things”…
…
February 8th, 2010 at 3:35 pmRIP and Semper FI SIR
and a long salute of gratitude from another VET.
February 8th, 2010 at 3:39 pmMurtha had his flaws, but he came to a much higher level in his final years.
I salute him for his service to our nation, both in uniform and in Congress.
May he rest in peace.
February 8th, 2010 at 3:39 pmThank you for your service to this country. Godspeed John Murtha.

And unfortunately the Teabaggers will have a pretty easy time taking his seat. The district in PA where Rep. Murtha served is very rural, conservative and religious. Perfect pickings for a scumbag teabagger.

Rest in Peace Sir.
To my fellow civil TP’ers, no need to even address the hateful, spiteful, ill-mannered, racist, so-called Christians that are no doubt joining in with their masters and jumping up and down with glee at the news, let it go, one day (probably when its to late) this country will get to the point where their nonsense is no longer tolerable and accepted. We all can hope.

Tired Of Fighting – you’re right. It just amazes me though how these freaks can’t wait to dump on someone like Murtha, and then instantly start whining about something else (see post 47). I’ll just ignore the creeps – somehow, they really get their rocks off with this.

Rest in peace, Soldier, you will be remembered proudly….

You disgraceful pieces of shit. A man who served in our armed forces passes away and all you can do is insult him? You obviously have no respect for the dead because you have no respect for the living. FOAD…both of you.
February 8th, 2010 at 4:19 pmstorm, opinions coming from the likes of you mean nothing. Murtha will be buried by proud Marines along with his family. For someone as dumb as you, who will never understand… Once a Marine, always a Marine.

Your correct, and in their world they truly believe that two wrongs make it right and even. I had to learn (it was/is hard) to ignore these folks, I even had some of them speak ill of my Soldier that I pay tribute to with every comment I make. I dont expect anything other than what they bring, and what they bring is pretty worthless, only thing is worthless seems to be in right now.

I believe I heard the same thing. If so, I’d like to hear the people fighting against health care reform tell us again how we have “the best health care system in the world.” Congressman Murtha did not have to die, not this soon, and not like this.
Rest in Peace, Mr. Murtha, and thank you for all of your service to our country.
February 8th, 2010 at 4:27 pmLiberalism has nothing to do with compassion. Its do with mental illness and fascism.
No, you’re thinking of Conservatism that’s a mental illness and is linked to fascism. But that’s okay, Conservatives make that same mistake all the time.

Only teatards would come on and disparage Rep. Murtha. What they don’t want to admit is he GAVE his life to US. He served the people instead of making it hard on us.
Mission Accomplished lie – May 1, 2003. It comes to light that Iraqi civilians were killed, tortured, raped and maimed.

February 8th, 2010 at 5:17 pmAs to what type of doctor I am, that’s none of your damned business. Have a problem with that?
No, but if you want everyone to believe that you really are some kind of doctor, it would help your credibility (assuming it’s true) to tell us what kind.
But, if you prefer to be called a liar all the time then, by all means, continue being elusive and deceptive.

February 8th, 2010 at 7:09 pmRest in Peace, Rep Murtha. My condolences to the family.
February 8th, 2010 at 7:29 pmWhen the right wing “hate machine” went after Murtha it might as well have been a text book example of how the “machine” works.
It doesn’t matter if you were an Eagle Scout (like Murtha). got an A from the NRA every year you were in office (like Murtha), were part of the American Legion, Veterans of Foreign Wars, Bronze Star with combat “V”, and had a pair of Purple Hearts for serving on the front lines of Vietnam and retired as a Colonel after decades of service (Murtha could rightly claim all this).
It didn’t even matter if you were openly pro-life.
If you crossed the “machine” on a single hot button issue (in Murtha’s case he dared to oppose the Iraq War) the wingers would just just about anything to destroy you.
IMHO the man went through hell on earth and deserves a place of rest in heaven.
February 8th, 2010 at 7:33 pmThank you Mr.Murtha for serving your country in both the miliatary and in Congress.May you rest in peace.

February 8th, 2010 at 9:06 pmTonight I went to a pizza-party-fundraiser in Congressman Mike Michaud’s honor (he attended). We all talked about Jack Murtha. Congressman Michaud said Jack Murtha not only did a lot for his constituents but he was also instrumental in helping Michaud get much needed funds to the state of Maine too. We’re all going to miss Congressman Murtha so much! Damn. So sad he’s gone. My heart goes out to his family.

Rep. Murtha was a Marine through and through. He called an ace an ace, and didn’t hold back on discussing the “dark side” of some Marines behavior. His telling the truth simply ticked off the chicken-hawks.

They have no respect for the U.S. Constitution as it is simply a roadblock to their plans for government control of every aspect of our lives.
God willing, Americans of all political parties will make a course correction this fall and again in 2012! We have news for the politicians in D.C. – the Constitution matters and you had better heed the message we are about to send.

You are a liar and a moron. Do you think when you spew out the lies you were brainwashed with that way you do anything but PROVE how staggeringly ignorant you are?
God willing all you subhuman moronic, cowardly, traitors on the right will kill yourselves from the disgust any human being should feel for being as stupid and vile as you are.

The rightwing has been molesting children, getting Americans killed for their own sheer joy out of seeing Americans DIE, starving children and comitting treason since the beggining of our good nation
February 9th, 2010 at 10:17 amThe U.S Constitution has been rightly called the most important document in human history as it pertains to mankind’s efforts at self- governance.
The Constitution limits the power of government and that is why there is a constant battle between those who value the principles of individual liberty enshrined in that most hallowed document and those who believe government is the solution to every problem!
February 9th, 2010 at 11:58 amFor a lesson in this, one need only read and listen to the wailing and gnashing of teeth from certain quarters over the recent Supreme Court decision that reaffirmed the right of free speech!
finally, non-profits as well as for profit corporations will have the same voice as George Soro’s 537’s!!!
February 9th, 2010 at 12:02 pmThere is no disputing the fact that a majority of Americans consider themselves to be conservative in their values. This equates politically to “center or center-right.”
the noisy 20%, like you folks here do not represent the American mainstream!
February 9th, 2010 at 12:49 pmJohn Murtha. A victim if government run health care?
Just askin…
February 9th, 2010 at 12:51 pmA question:

February 9th, 2010 at 1:24 pmThat is, Humana

You forgot to add the following groups:
Right-whiners, the GOP, the conservatives, and the Fascist Neo-cons!
Or are you holding a hypocritical standard?

What about the ultra-radial right-whining 20% from the right who don’t represent the American mainstream?
Hate to burst your buble, but America is majority CENTER, not center-right nor center-left. You need to question the talking-points your regurgitate.
February 9th, 2010 at 1:39 pmI can’t wait until ‘ole treasonous Ollie North finally shuffles off this mortal coil! The entire marine Corps will should “Horay! The traitor is dead!”
At that time, the marine Corps can say, proudly, “The treasonous scum-bag who called himself a “m”arine and besmirched the honorable duty of American servvice members is now dead!”
There will be many more service members smiling and proud of THAT day!
February 9th, 2010 at 1:43 pmComplications. You mean the doctors screwed up. I thought that congressional health care plan was supposed to be great?
The Democratic congressman recently underwent scheduled laparoscopic surgery at National Naval Medical Center in Bethesda, Maryland, to remove his gallbladder. The procedure was “routine minimally invasive surgery,” but doctors “hit his intestines,” a source close to the late congressman told CNN.
February 9th, 2010 at 6:46 pmAccording to the American Medical Association’s National Health Insurer Report Card for 2008, the government’s health plan, Medicare, denied medical claims at nearly double the average for private insurers: Medicare denied 6.85% of claims. The highest private insurance denier was Aetna @ 6.8%, followed by Anthem Blue Cross @ 3.44, with an average denial rate of medical claims by private insurers of 3.88%

February 10th, 2010 at 2:25 pmRest in peace, Rep. Murtha. You served in the military, then became a advocate for our servicemen and -women as a Congressman. You spoke out against the way two misbegotten wars were waged when others did not. Thank you for your service to this country, both in war and in Congress. While I did not always agree with you, you had my respect. We’ll not see the like of you in quite some time.
