GOP Urges Democrats to Boycott Murtha Appearance
Advertisements [?]
The chairman of the Ohio County Republican Party wants Gov. Joe Manchin and other state Democrats to boycott a Jefferson Jackson dinner featuring keynote speaker Rep. John Murtha, D-Pa.

Marty Wright, who heads the county GOP, believes Manchin and other West Virginia Democrats should not associate themselves with Murtha, whom he calls "a San Francisco liberal" and says is included on an organization's list of most corrupt members of Congress....

Other guests will include U.S. Sens. Robert C. Byrd and Jay Rockefeller, Congressman Alan Mollohan and state Democratic Party Chairman Nick Casey....

"Of everything we need, in terms of this state, John Murtha stands for the opposite," Wright said. "Whether you're Republican or Democrat, John Murtha's values are about bigger government. He's a mouthpiece for Nancy Pelosi and everything she preaches is truly California liberalism.....I'd like for the governor to put the goodwill of the state above politics right now," he said....

That'd be THIS John Murtha:

"Murtha joined the Marines in 1952 and later became a drill instructor at Parris Island. In Vietnam, he earned the Bronze Star with valor and two Purple Hearts."

Why do Republicans hate our military heroes?
