Ian has the video of Hume discussing Jack Murtha.  

Transcript:

HUME: That sound bite from John Murtha suggests that it’s time a few things be said about him. Even the “Washington Post” noted he didn’t seem particularly well informed about what’s going on over there, to say the least. Look, this man has tremendous cachet among House Democrats, but he is not — 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.

And that sound bite is naivete at large, and the man is an absolute fountain of such talk, and the fact that he has ascended to the position he has in the eyes of the Democrats in the House and perhaps Democrats around the country tells you a lot about how much they know or care about what’s really going on over there.

WILLIAMS: He’s chairman of the subcommittee, House Appropriations. He’ll have a lot to say about what Mara was just discussing

HUME: A lot of it will be …

“Think” Progress claims Hume smeared Murtha and pulled out quotes Republicans have used in the past to “smear” him too. In 2005, John McCain dared to say Murtha was “never been a big thinker.” Oh. My. God. He did not just say that awful, awful smear. Do I even need to repeat the words Democrats have used to smear President Bush?

Isn’t it the job of the press to have candid discussions like this one?

    Murtha is a corrupt idiot. The FBI ought to have watched him like a hawk. They should now especially. He’s got to looking for bribes and graft to get while the gettings are good. look at Reid and Jefferson. The media won’t criticize Democrats no matter how badly they act.

    The Democrats can lie and cower, but they voted to authorize this war.

    Anyone who says that the Democrats have clean hands and that they are consistent, not playing politics is a liar. That included Eben and AKD.

    Shitto, crawling out from under your rock again? Next attack on US soil will be the responsibility of “Cut and Run” Democrats like you, and this time YOU will pay for it.

    Oh, and shitto, what is it about you that you run to the rescue of corrupt Democrats?

    Hey Shiloh….you better be careful. PCD is right you know. Just because ole Bill fooled the American public doesn’t mean the dems as a whole can do it. People are watching and when we are attacked again they will finally understand why we had 9/11 and why we ultimately need to take this war on terror to them, over there, on their turf, in the middle east. As long as dems are constantly promoting cut and run policies we are not safe.

    Remember as far vack as the 2006 election the Democrites “had a plan” to fix the Iraq situation? Kerry had his “plan”? But none of them would ever articulate their plan. There was speculation that they had no plan, that they’d get into office then figure out what to do.

    It turns out now that they did indeed have a plan after all! And they have fully revealed it; It is CUT and RUN and FAILURE. They’ve already started with their stupid resolutions, which sends the message to our military that the Left is no openly, actively working to undermine them.

    It also sends the message to our enemies Loud and Clear that their strategy is working, just keep it up, and they’ll win. Same crap they did in Vietnam, which ended up costing thousands more American lives and ended with the murder of more than a million people in Vietnam and Cambodia.

    Treasonous, degenerate skum who do not deserve the freedom and protection paid for by the blood of real Americans.

    And now oldie-but-goodie traitor Jane Fonda is now back out of mothballs and is actively working to undermine us in wartime again. Is there any doubt now who these people, what these people are? It’s the same crowd as in the 60’s all over again, just that now they are wearing suits and are unfortunately in positions of power.

    It’s “bring it all down, man!” again except now they are in positions to do it.

    Jihad Jane is indeed at it again and when questioned about the deaths in Cambodia after we left she blamed it on America being there in the first place. What a piece of shit she is.

    What scares me though is that these people want us to lose so badly I believe they want America to die. If Islam were to take over the very ideals they hold dear would vanish; like gays (beheaded), equal rights for women (Not), etc. etc.

    That’s right and they are the only ones who cannot see this. Is it collective mental illness? Are their minds so warped and addled from drugs in the 60s and years of degeneracy? Perhaps the effects of untreated syphilis?

    Robert I think it must be a combination of the LSD they took and the effects of untreated syphilis? What other possible explanation can there be? :lol:
