John Murtha Blasts McCain's IED Joke

[southernclassik]

like he really gives a fuck... Screw this POS

[amarone1956]

@southernclassik Fuck McCain!

[sapher2020]

Fuck John Murtha, slimeball, back door dealing politician. It took the grim reaper to get him out of office. We need term limits so politicians aren't in washington long enough to become powerful and corrupt like this guy was!!!!

[amarone1956]

@sapher2020 Fuck McCain!

[Dogmeat1950]

well John McCain's has a right to make a joke. i mean hell John McCain's had a few SAM's and AAA fired at him. Im happy murtha is dead he betrayed the very brothers he called Marines.

[grazon]

You consider people who shot little girls your brothers?

[shshshsht]

Another dead traitor to this country.

[grazon]

McCain is alive and that's not a very nice thing to say about him.

[shshshsht]

@grazon

Murtha can burn in hell where he belongs along with all the other traitors to the USA

[grazon]

And why is he a traitor?

why because he said it was wrong for a couple of jerks to kill a little girl.

[shshshsht]

@grazon

ABSCAM

[grazon]

Bitch Bitch Bitch he wasn't convicted for a reason.

[shshshsht]

@grazon

Yeah fortunately in this country we still require lots of evidence to convict. Murtha was a scumbag in life as in death. His parting will not be noted except the smell in Washington might improve some. Its hard to defend such scum even in death but I see you do . Have fun.

[grazon]

LOL! They had the event in question on camera if there was evidence of guilt he would have been convicted in a matter of hours.

[shshshsht]

@grazon

Kind of like OJ?

[grazon]

You don't understand that Murtha talking to the fake crooks was on camera do you?

[shshshsht]

@grazon

Murtha was videotaped turning down a $50,000 bribe while holding out the possibility that he might take money in the future. Six congressmen and one senator were convicted in the case. Murtha was not charged, but the government named him as an unindicted co-conspirator and he testified against two other congressmen.

[grazon]

@shshshsht

I must be reading this wrong.

You understand that he turned down the offer yet you continue to cling to the belief that because he tried to exit a bad situation by saying maybe later that he's guilty of a crime?

[shshshsht]

@grazon

Anyway you cut it , it doesnt paint a pretty picture. Does it? Institutionalized quid pro quo shouldnt be the expectation we have for our government or representatives.

[grazon]

@shshshsht

I don't think highly of politicians but saying "maybe later" to get out of an uncomfortable situation is normal.

[Da55Moose]

This just in anyone making a joke about having a heart attack deserves an apology to all relatives of heart attack victims. Clean the sand out of your vagina Murtha, and your attempt at earning nobility points is pathetic. RIP even though I agreed with you on about nothing.

[haroldsmegma1]

I would like to thank the Doctor that killed that useless POS.

[golight]

I am so glad this fucking hypocrite is dead......He needs to be buried in a garbage bag on the bottom of the Potomac. He has no right to a burial in Arlington with real Americans. Rot in Hell you treasonous thieving fat fuck........

[TheJewishSongs]

RIP

[TKDgeehun]

i agree that mccain's joke was bad. but John Murtha is a fucking phony. He's a fucking brown nose.

[SinnFein4ever]

Well technically, a soldier IS a killer.

They just get paid to make a living out of it.

[Rangerday1]

John Murtha, you said our military was broken. You said we can't win militarily in Iraq. You accused United States Marines of cold-blooded murder without proof and said we should redeploy to Okinawa. Okinawa, John?

And the Democrats call you their military expert! Laughable! You're a sad, pitiable, corrupt, and washed up politician.

You're not a Marine, sir. You wouldn't amount to a good pimple on a real Marine's butt. You're a phony and a disgrace. Run away, John.

[TAFARIBANTI]

Liberals republicans its all the same ...NONE of u people get it< the republicans would attack their shadows because they were TOLD to fear it and the Dems want everyone to to hug in total gayness..I voted for kalashnikov ill let you scared white folk talk shit online : )

[backrubs62]

its as outrageous as you saying marines killed innocents in cold blood though they have never been charged because the charges were dropped. you murtha, have never apologized to them or their family,,,, and if i remember right, two of them filed a defamation of character lawsuit against you, john murtha

[crusades0917]

John Murtha is a damm crook and as a Vietnam era veteran who spent 2 years in Asia I consider him to be anti-American. He should be impeached for the corruption & grossly wasteful spending on his little private airport.

[NOMeasureA2008]

So one of Murthy's advisors is "a friend of mine's wife?" Now I understand why he is an idiot.

[NOMeasureA2008]

As usual, Murthy spins rhetoric for his own benefit and distracts from the point that Jon Stewart harms our soldiers by foolish talk as though he would rather have the military use pointed wooden sticks to fight heavily armed foes. Ask any Pacific War veteran about Jon Stewart's ignorant comments.

[drakebob17]

ha first he talks shit then he claims he cares! 90% of the military voted for maccain, damn liberals .

[Downfacingdog]

Crybaby!!!

[etjai88]

Good speech Murtha. That is why McCain lost to Obama badly. Proved that McCain is one of a laughable politician who likes to make fun of US troops who sacrificed so much for their own country. Shame on you McCain. Even if he was a POW, McCain does not have patriotism spirit. United States was not built by people like him.

[prwilli75]

This guy is a Joke!!!

[esiewm]

I don't really give a shit whether funding is cut for the troops or not. I don't believe in this redneck oilman's war, so don't use my tax dollars for it.

[coldiron1971]

Troops need an appology Murtha? How about you start with the first applogy for trying to cut funds for the war in Iraq and funds to cut armour for the troops. Murtha is an ASSHOLE. Put "abscam" in the search engine right here on youtube and you will see the real Murtha. FBI videos don't lie.

[unclebeen]

As somebody who is voting for Obama, but really liked McCain before he lost his mind in recent months... I think the Daily Show joke by John McCain was pretty funny, and in context fairly harmless. Now, maybe not behavior I want from my President, but Murtha made too much out of it in my opinion. McCain just has a dark sense of humor, probably what got him through 5 years as a POW.

[MCCAINisINSANE]

/watch?v=bsEaauy4s5E

[MCCAINisINSANE]

Wow.

You'd think a POW would know enough to NEVER make a joke about IED's when, as Murtha said,"...these kids are blown apart- it's outrageous!"

Just thinking of a POW "joking" about putting an IED under someone's desk while millions of people are crying breathlessly over their lost loved ones makes me sick. And heartbroken.

I can respect that McCain's POW experience has perhaps left him a troubled man, but he is no leader.

OBAMA/BIDEN 08!

[GOlynnGO]

Murtha's looking for any little straw he can grasp at because even he can see what's coming at him...It is sickening to watch his feigned outrage. Vote for Bill Russell!!!!

[rdooze]

As a US MARINE, I'm with Murtha. McCain can go to hell. That's not my Commander and Chief

[GodotheInfantry]

@rdooze Get over it! it's a joke. What a pussy. Murtha is one that owes us an apology. That is, if he weren't burning in hell right now.

[amarone1956]

@GodotheInfantry Fuck McCain!

[GodotheInfantry]

@amarone1956 What a clever argument. What a typical Obama voter. see ya in 2012, moron.

[budthesmoke85]

Republicans want more war while they joke about it.

War is not funny at all.

[jpferrierjr]

As a soldier who has been to iraq, I agree with this guy. Fuck McCain! And, if any of you McCain supporters have any literary skills, try actually reading his plans and policies. They're horrible. They're not gonna help the troops at all.

[xnarg]

If the voters in John Murtha's district had even the slightest bit of integrity, they would have him recalled from office immediately.

[allthings123]

You Republicans don't understand. The world is changing. No more selfish. No more BSing. No more idiots. No more of "The Rich get Richer". The world is changing and all you Rep. sound like dumb ass, selfish, bastards who like to kill everyone else so that you get the money. You people are pathetic!! I mean really, imagine a US with everyone who thinks like that fat ass Rush L. Obama 08'

I am sorry I got off topic but I had to get it out of me.

[DanTheRepairMan]

this is probably the same guy who complains about how they dont properly greeat you at mcdonalds when you walk in and demands an apology.

[carlrs15]

This man has served in Congress for decades, doing the people's work and garnering a lot more credibility and respect than you ever will.

[therrydicule]

Than he got now, don't said ever will... He is 20, you don't know where he could be in... 30 years ;)

[merisluts4lee]

blah blah blah from amerislut warmakers. BOOO! amerisluts think about what's coming

[essai75]

us economy is based on weapons and war. in iraq US know what is war!

[DEATHoB4oDISHONOR]

Jesus, and to think that this guy used to be a Marine... a Bronze star, two purps, N.D.S.M.

I dont understand this guy.

[speakmymind01]

Hey Benedict Murtha, 7 of the Pendelton 8 have been aquitted of charges dropped.

'Still waitin on your apology.....

[speakmymind01]

should anyone ever listen to this Son of a Bitch Bastards ever again, after he called them cold blooded killers??

What an absolute Blithering moron bastard this political whore is......

[Yankhadenough]

This man is stellar, he should be Tribal Chief of Congress.

[StellarMortem]

With most of the eight Marines charged in the Haditha, Iraq, incident now exonerated, the highest-ranking officer among the accused is considering a lawsuit against Democratic Rep. John Murtha, who fueled the case by declaring the men cold-blooded killers -AP

Democrats aiding terrorists!

[trakkaton]

Oh, those poor myrmidons occupying another country half way round the globe to loot the oil and die for Israhell. Don't make jokes about those dumb greedy assholes.

[soliloqy]

We all appreciate the service and sacrifice your family member made pavilionking06, but McCain an individual who paid the highest price for our country short of giving his life, and has his son there in Iraq as we speak, said that in a non-offensive way... There are guns killing people over there and here as well, and we joke about "wanting to shoot someone" every day so should we ban all speach and humor? The answer is no, and McCain answered him properly

[MasterMoron]

Uhhh...what's an IED?

[trakkaton]

ImprovisedExplosiveDevice?

goggle? wikipedia? yahoo?

[pavilionking06]

I have lost a family member in Iraq and I did not appreciate the joke at all. You should never, I don't care who you are or what show your on make jokes like Mcain made. It's not respectful.

[abhorrapandidiocy]

I am a staunch supporter of Obama, and disagree really strongly with McCain's policies (except for his view on torture), but McCain's response to Murthas was dead on. It is a comedy show! Obviously, McCain takes troop deaths seriously, but this is a stupid political distraction. Murtha really does need to get a life, and realize that there is a fine line between something said in humor and in seriousness.

[jammasterjayfan]

Too bad I Don't support neither obama and mcain.

[bighitter42]

The way I hear it told he was referring to a specific incident. Not to all of the Marine Corps. If I'm wrong then he is a pos.

[Beav24]

thats why i said he called several Marines cold blooded murderers, not all Marines or the Marine Corp.

[bighitter42]

You're right. I didn't read your post well.

[Beav24]

This coming for the guy who called several Marines "cold blooded murderers"?

[bighitter42]

Were the Marines in question not?

[CaptPoco]

pompous fatass windbag

[myname4]

fucking agree man, mccain is a fucking shit

[wheatpuff]

Oh, a democrat calling out a republican. -yawn-

[laughinatu69]

Murtha is a scumbag and a traitor, he owes an apology to all the troops he labeled murderers.

[Dogmeat7]

hmmm then again it's Military humor. Mcain being former military lol understandable. but this guy talking. pfft lol. is a waste of space we lost more ppl that mounth since the invasion!? lol we lost less ppl since this invasion then any other war!

[ThatUJohnWayne]

So...4,000 Dead and 30,000 wounded (Maimed, PTSD) is acceptable right?

[sickoftards]

mccain is a bonehead....maybe he will be elected...the last eight years we have had a bonehead president of america so keep it up you stupid scum! keep voting for the asshole!

[wolfgange63]

Yea we would rather have a racist Marxist as president!!

[SAMMYJS99]

Obama is going to be ur new daddy. :D)

[jneefr]

This guy is an over payed hypocrite!!!

[someguy5554]

McCain made a bad joke. Murtha decided to waste time for political reasons. Politics as usual...

[alch96]

i can understand mccain making a joke, just like it was a joke when he gave information to the north vietnamese

[patriot0311]

What a disgrace to the Marine Corps.

[stukabomber44]

totally fucking agreed....

[sbnewman]

if these clowns would spend less time talking about bad jokes and apologies, maybe more shit would actually get done.

[vedynicechaifaiveh]

Yeah, pretty much!

[RCLederer]

one true american

[kffytube]

Getting money for your district (responsibly) is part of a Congressman's job. Earmarks (Murtha's specialty) are done by inserting into must-pass bills. And my "fair bit" is from years of living and working in Johnstown, meeting Murtha, etc. WSJ was just recent publicity. Murtha is an old-school, back-room pol who needs to go away, a la Cunningham. Listen to the Abscam tape...it's the way he does business (his own words)...he just slid by on that one. no doubt he's cagey.

[badtown88]

this guy rules

[markerst]

John Murtha is a fuking cunt. HE owes an apology to every troop serving.

[JeepCherokeeV8]

And as for the IED thing, it was a joke. It was not meant to disrespect anyone. Sen. Murtha is just a crusty old man who decided to waste time on the floor of the Senate.

[JeepCherokeeV8]

Whoever Zenhkim is he's a piece of shit. Why don't you serve your country, get shot down in hostile territory, your shoulder crushed by some rice eating asshole, and spend the next 5 1/2 years of your life being beaten and tortured. After you do all of that and you still do not hold any resentment towards your captors I'll honor your opinion. And McCain did say he directed the term "Gooks" towards his captors only and not anyone else.

[donufro]

I guess the other 434 members of the House had nothing to do with appropriations, right? Nor the DoD. He just ran in and stole it, I guess.

You know, getting money for your district is a Congressman's job. ANY funding is at the expense of something else And that's why Representatives are sent to Congress - to fight for their district.

And because you read a Wall Street journal article doesn't mean you know a "fair bit" about it.

[kffytube]

No doubt he's done good for the area...at the expense of the rest of the country, funding dubious earmarked businesses...I actually know a fair bit about it. Read a bit about CTC, the National Drug Intel Center....read about Abscam, his former shoe-shine guy who worked at his car wash, now the CEO for a contracting company funded by earmarks... pretty shameful. Some are credible, but most pretty bad. And if anyone can be accused of spouting off nonsense, it's likely Jack Murtha.

[kffytube]

Faux indignation and self-righteousness. Blech. Tepid applause from perhaps 15-20 members of the US House of Representatives. Far beyond the time for Representative Murtha to slither back into the coal mines and steel factories of Johnstown, back to his used-car salesman days.

[TheoBrixtonTheKid]

Wow you got all the answers, you're so wise, maybe you shoulda spent more time in Johnstown so you could find out what good he's done for this piece of shit area, Johnstown would be 15x worse if it weren't for him. I love people like you spouting off their nonsense on youtube when they know nothing about it.

[kffytube]

Murtha is nothing more than an over-the-hill, old-style politician from the days of machine politics. He's a fraud, a crook, and a blowhard. Check out Abscam, Haditha, CTC Corporation, earmarks, the National Drug Intel Center, the list goes on. Zero credibility with this guy. Needs to be tossed from office but has all of Johnstown in his pocket....literally. I'm ashamed to admit I spent time there. Disgusting example of US political system.

[freebird186]

John Murtha is a sad fuck. I have no respect for that bag of dog shit.

[ArmyKitty913]

Its about time a Congressmen demands respect and gratitude for our troops.

[alpha3443]

thats nothing you should hear the jokes we make out in the deseert

[brydon189]

John McCain 2008 WOOT!

johnmccain (dot) com

[Aproxy2]

I am glad that Murtha makes this point. IED's are nothing to make jest about. Especially when the American death toll in IRAQ is a lot higher than what CNN or Fox News reports, or what the defense department reports. All they count are deaths in the field. They don't count suicides or deaths from sustained injuries.  Death from IED's would be lower if we were properly armoring their vehicles in the first place.

[zenhkim]

I lost respect for Senator McCain years back when he referred to Vietnamese as "gooks" -- and some of his biggest fans are the Vietnamese-Americans who live here in the Little Saigon area of Orange County! What a fucking asshole!

[freebird186]

If you spent five years as a POW you might call them gooks too. You sound like a faggot ass bitch. Are you from San Francisco or something?

[capsource1]

Wall Street Journal carried an interview with former North Vietnamese Colonel Bui Tin, a member of the North Vietnamese general staff. Col Tin was asked, "Was the American anti-war movement important to Hanoi's victory? "He responded, "It was essential to our strategy... Every day our leadership would listen to world news over the radio at 9:00 AM to follow the growth of the American anti-war movement.

Sound Familiar?

[Aproxy2]

Come on dude. That is properganda. Any enemy that is listening to the anti-war movement as motivation to attack the U.S.....is stupid, because I am sure the bombs dropping over their heads is motivation enough. Really, we can't let freedom of speech fall to the hands of the enemy too.

[freebird186]

Have you served my country yet bitch? I bet not.

[mousepotato64]

What a fucking hypocrite POS.

[revf]

Thank God for Murtha. We need more like him

[CastorT64]

John "Abscam" Murtha is a bitter old man. The troops know that Fat John Murtha doesn't support them.

[spfly605]

absurd, this guy should be a minister, sounds like sunday school rhetoric/preaching with different content pluggged in.

[theelephantsyndrome]

this guys a joke

[PJYost38]

Shut up you old blowhard. You'd sell out every damn one of our troops just to win reelection. So quit witht the act.

[red5llaw]

Ahh Makes you wonder how The Poor Bastards managed during WW2 and the Korean War Being in Combat for YEARS not nine months. THESE Veterans came back and Built up our country into the Greatest its EVER BEEN. Nine months ain't good, but American Military CAN and WILL do the job, longet than that. Murtha STOP Scoring points on the Military!

[towely]

Murtha you owe an apology to every troop in Iraq. You are selling out our men for political gains you fucking coward!

[plasmatv]

Murtha is The Righteous Man. GOD BLESS HIM, GOD BLESS AMERICA!

[Dogggy65]

Are the ones you are honoring the ones you falsly accused of murder in Haditha you coward.

[Dogggy65]

Hes lying he has no friends. LOL

[Dogggy65]

What a joke that Murtha is.

[EsotericDesi]

Thank God for Murtha... Only if Hillary and Obama had questioned the authority and realized that Congress is EQUAL to Presidency and Supreme Court, we'd not be stuck in the ditch in Iraq today... Shameful thing is that no one in Congress has wasted even a single second to read the PATRIOT ACT... They basically signed the blank check and gave it to someone who's a C- from YALE.

[KingdomAwaits]

Oh shut up your lying bullshiter... with all the horrible problems going on in our country and corruption and he goes on about a friggin joke. This guy is a real asshole. This is one of the most petty political bullshits i've seen in my life.

[WNanette]

nice language... which Kingdom awaits someone with language like yours?

Can't be Christ's.

Murtha went on about the horrible 'joke' because someone called him and told him what an awful thing it was that McCain had said. McCain also made a horrible song up about bombing Iran.

[howyaaadoiinkidd]

its only because india is too weak of a country to invade anything

[VinceP1974]

Murtha owes an apology to all the Marines court-martialed he already convicted.

[bigge525]

Yep pageiv, and the Republicans should try actually

supporting the troops instead of just lying about it.

[pageiv]

Yes, McCain really wanted to bring the IED back. Democrats should get a sense of humor.

[midnightbright]

I love that Murtha gets so passionate. McCain was a veteran himself but he should realize that people are seriously losing their lives to these bombs. I wish we could get a true patriot like Murtha or Ron Paul elected as President.

[Fjelstad]

He's blowing what McCain said way out of proportion, for what would have to be political reasons. McCain knows the dangers troops face. What he said was simply playing along with the show he was on. The only way you can take that further than that is if you are a member of the opposing political party trying to bring down the credibility of a top candidate.

[IBlackWaterI]

McCain is a dumbass. A looser as well. He will never become president. Sayin, bagdad is safe, a westerner can walk the streets of bagdad, general patreus moves around bagdad without an armored hmmvee.. and makin IED jokes. Watta looser. he should never become president.and what the hell is wrong with his twist lips, his disturbing cheaks and michael jackson almost nose

[Buddhamaniac]

Murtha has been in combat, been wounded and decorated, fought like a M-F**ka for his country and managed not to return batshiat crazy like McCain. Any of you MoFos got a problem with Murtha why don't you get down to the recruiter and ask for a one-way ticket to Iraq.........i didn't think so, chickenhawks....

[howyaaadoiinkidd]

so has mccain, a 5 year pow in vietnam, and more so chill out murtha isnt the only person to serve in the military

[summitoaks]

VOTE

[cardsguy76]

I wonder when the likes of Murtha and ilk who whined about mccain's awful beach boy imitation and dumb joke on IED's will speak out against that Commie group's Rage Against the Machine's diatribes last weekend, oh that's right lefties get a pass

[pjgn]

Wow, I didn't know Rage Against the Machine was running for office.

You idiot.

[desilinx]

What a stupid emo fuck Murtha is. He pretends to be a champion of the troops and does everything he can to undercut them financially and also to force America to surrender to Islamofascist psychopaths. I hope you get hit by a muslim terrorist driving a cab Murtha you stinking pile of horse dung.

[oktal3700]

What Islamofascists are those? Do you have any kind of grip on reality at all? Or will you support the Party no matter what, even as they systematically deconstruct your country!?

Not that the Dems would be any better, it's a goddamn puppet show.

[caledl]

its moronsss like you, who vote for morons like george w. bush, that are completely ruining this country. i know ur denial is so absolute that right now ur thinking, "god, this guy is such a commie," , but hey i tried

[HalalFatSub]

Americans are Stupid.

[grazon]

Indians are stupid enough to drink from rivers with people shitting in them just yards up stream.

[HalalFatSub]

Thats not true at all. We are smarter then americans thats why IBM , DELL , TOSHIBA, SONY , PANISONIC are moving there jobs from dumb americans to Smart Indians. Soon India will take over All american jobs Coz you people are that retared.

[grazon]

"retared" lol you're dumb as Bush.

[VinceP1974]

No idiot.. it's cuz Indians are stupid enough to do the work for low wages.

[chrisspen]

Looks like McCain just pulled a Biden.

[pat637]

Murtha. His first rants were way before Biden's famous outburst.

[chrisspen]

Yes, but Murtha's not running for President. We generally prefer our Presidential candidates to not sound completely crazy, granted Bush has lowered the bar somewhat.

[FrenchExile]

You're 25 years old? Fuck me! You people are in trouble if this is the best a 25 year old can do...

[SatNamTree]

I thought McCain might be a better man than this, really. In no way, should we somehow trivialize these fucking things by making them "gifts" for a friends desk.

What the fuck is he thinking? Was he on vacation in Iraq and thinks he's bringing back a souvenir?

Maybe he'll get an IED placed in a little water filled glass ball, that you shake and make your own little desk-top sand storm scene?

[samus086]

well, if he was only fully informed.... The joke was he went shopping in Bagdad and wanted to bring back a IED for Jon Stewart for the corner of his desk... Anyhow anyone who takes that as being anywhere near serious has a serious problem as there are alot more things to worry about... like getting out of Iraq~

[PatAmuTube]

Are you kidding me! That's no joke. Young men and women are losing their lives and limbs over there and McCain is making 'jokes' involving the mechanism of their deaths. It's reprehensible. He wasn't among a small group of friends, he had a general audience which very likey included someone effected by the IEDs destruction. He may as well have made a joke about Viginia Tech or 9/11.

[bobomchobo]

It doesn't matter if it was serious or not, it was tasteless and disgusting. Would a presidential candidate be able to get away with making gas chamber jokes or plane hijacking jokes? What would you do if the president started cutting jokes about genocide in Darfur, or the WTC destruction?

[jtray]

thanks for sharing this.

[sterlingturk]

First. Thanks for sharing.
