The Tribune Democrat, Johnstown, PA - Veterans' group sets sights on Murtha


Can someone tell us where to find these bastards?


The Tribune Democrat, Johnstown, PA - Veterans' group sets sights on Murtha:

The group Veterans for the Truth is targeting U.S. Rep. John Murtha, a critic of the Iraq war and a de facto spokesman on the subject for the national Democratic Party.

They group is bringing its campaign to “Redeploy John Murtha From Congress” to his back yard.

They plan to hold a national rally in Johnstown in October “to show their outrage at John Murtha over what he is saying about our troops,” state chairman and former Johnstowner Mark Parker said in a release.

Details of the rally will be outlined at a news conference at 11 a.m. Thursday in front of Murtha’s office at 647 Main St.

Murtha, who will not be in his district office Thursday, appears unfazed by the pending campaign.

He is scheduled that day to be in Clarks Summit, Lackawanna County, campaigning for Democrat Chris Carney, who’s running against incumbent Republican Don Sherwood in the 10th District.

In a statement released by his office, Murtha said, “Nobody has done more for the troops than I have.
