Congressman Murtha told the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette: &#8220;There is no question that western Pennsylvania is a racist area.&#8221; And Murtha should know these western Pennsylvania Democratsbecause they\u2019re&#8221;his&#8221; people &#8211;the very voters who keep returning him to Congress. As AP Obama explains, &#8220;The working-class region is a key battleground in Pennsylvania. The area is struggling economically, and has a high percentage of veterans[.]&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>Speaking of veterans, by the way, I understand that you Murtha voters might be upset that he\u2019s calling you a bunch of sheet-wearing, closet-racist swine, but you need to be more tolerant and understanding. If your Congressman, the &#8220;honorable&#8221; JackMurtha, can defame American troops fighting a war&#8211; falsely accusing them being murderers and savages&#8211; why should he spare your reputation?<\/p>\n<p>You see, Congressman Murtha believes that Lord Obama will ultimately win Pennsylvania, despite the putrid racist Democrats who infect the state. &#8220;We cannot deny that race is a factor in this election,&#8221;he now says, adding, &#8220;I apologize for making the comment that &#8216;Western Pennsylvania is a racist area.'&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Yeah. JackMurtha is sorry he got caught smearing the people who vote for him &#8211;but don\u2019t expect an apology to the American soldiers this big oafslurred. How do you vote for this guy? I just don\u2019t understand it.<\/p>\n<p>*Note: Links to content outside RushLimbaugh.com usually become inactive over time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rush\u2019s Morning Update: MurthaOctober 17, 2008Watch It!
