Democratic Rep. John Murtha said Monday some of his constituents in western Pennsylvania are “rednecks” and the entire region just five to 10 years ago was “really redneck.”
The comments come one week after he called his own constituents “racist” in an interview with his local newspaper.
“What I said, that indicted everybody, that’s not what I meant at all. What I mean is there’s still folks that have a problem voting for someone because they are black,” Murtha said.
Murtha said the history of southwestern Pennsylvania is teeming with racism. “This whole area, years ago, was really redneck,” he told WTAE-TV Pittsburgh.
Murtha, a Democrat, apologized last week for calling the area “racist,”
Are they trying to give this idiot a heart attack?
DONATE TO WILLIAMÂ RUSSELL FOR CONGRESS so we can get this idiot out of Congress!
Oh i so hope “In Cold Blood” Murtha loses! I despise the man; he is a steaming pos. I so wish I was on his opponent’s ad team. I would have Murtha slandering those Marines (who were later exonerated) by calling them cold-blooded killers. I’d have commercials with an Osama bin Laden look alike awarding honorary Al Qaeda membership to Murtha for his vital assistance.
Murtha even today refuses to apologize for his egregious his transgressions. Far as I’m concerned he can ESAD…
I thought you would appreciate the piece!
=))
BOO-YAH! Murtha’s an embarassment to my fair state and the country as a whole. Here’s hoping he gets his military-hating butt kicked on election day.
Murtha = l-)
Memo to all politicians: Don’t call people racists or rednecks when they decide whether or not you will have a job after an election cycle.
