It worked on Kerry...


These right wing nut crazies are nothing if not predictable. The Right Wing Noise Machine, with assistance from the White House, has decided to take down Rep. John Murtha with a smear campaign.

The White House is trying to find current military officers to denounce him, so far without much sucess. A general in Iraq did call his statements demoralizing.

The partisan and conservative (and tax-free) CNS news network, known for its factual inaccuracies, is trying to cast doubts on his war medals. Extreme right calls Murtha's War Hero Status Called Into Question. Here is one site set up to document CNS distortions,

Later - Daily Kos also saw this Swift-Boating of Murtha.

More - Crooks and Liars quickly googles this smear and finds it directed by people highly connected to the Republican National Committee. The main spokesperson is a bitter GOP rival of Murtha's whose damaging statements supposedly come from someone who died 30 years ago..
