[...] March 2, 2007 at 3:23 am · Filed under Uncategorized Video: Hume smacks down Murtha; doesn’t know “what the heck is going on in Think” Progress claims Hume smeared Murtha and pulled out quotes Republicans have used in the past to “smear” him too. In 2005, John McCain dared to say Murtha was “never been a big thinker.” Oh. My. God. He did not just say that awful, awful smear. Do I even need to repeat the words Democrats have used to smear President Bush?[news][entertainment][world & business][political opinion] [...]

[...] Brit Hume’s “smack down” from last week seems right on the mark: That sound bite from John Murtha suggests that it’s time a few things be said about him. Even the “Washington Post” noted he didn’t seem particularly well informed about what’s going on over there, to say the least. Look, this man has tremendous cachet among House Democrats, but he is not — this guy is long past the day when he had anything but the foggiest awareness of what the heck is going on in the world.

It is a shame that Murtha’s constituency does not cherish American Liberty enough to make wise decisions in who they send to DC.

That sure says a lot about American voters since they continue to reelect Murtha. Or is it that pork trumps national defense?

Are the stupid clowns at “Think Progress” still claiming that Karl Rove was indicted over Plamegate?

I didn’t see that, but had several comments back and forth with a nutball who thought Brit’s “smear” of Murtha was much worse than how Murtha smeared the Marines.

Considering their level of lunacy, any defeatocrat candidate is going to have a hard time with them…it’s fun to stir the pot.

Just a little taste of what the genius commenters at Think Progress think about Brit’s “smear”

The White House said it was “baffling that he is endorsing the policy positions of Michael Moore and the extreme liberal wing.”

Heh. It never ceases to amaze me how right wing americans look the political spectre. Michael Moore, a extreme liberal??? They must think Hitler was a moderate liberal.

Brit Hume, Not just mildly retarded…

Comment by corey — February 18, 2007 @ 10:24 am

Yeah, like Brit has a clue as to what’s going on over there. What an ass. How many times has Brit visited Iraq? None.

Chris Wallace looked like he was about to slap Juan for saying anything. Mara looks like Juan dropped a turd in her lap.

Brit should have ended the segment by saying, “Now, let’s have a moment of silence for the death of Juan’s integrity.”

Hypocrisy: Hume vs. Olbermann…

Fox’s Brit Hume was accused of “smearing” John Murtha in his commentary on Sunday morning….

“Naivete writ large …”

Wow – now that was a smackdown. Poetic, almost. And you almost don’t notice just how damning Brit’s comments are, since he maintains that anchorman monotone throughtout.

He tore Murtha a gaping new hole.

“Dotty …”

That’s funny.

Troops response to Murtha:

We support the Congress, we just want to de-fund (and redeploy) Murtha.

I’d still really like to hear the Murtha soundbite Brit was talking about. Can anyone point me to it somewhere?

Brit was just champing at the bit to set Juan straight while he spoke. Advice to Juan: don’t lob softballs near Brit.

I saw this and thought it was EXCELLENT! I wish old Juan would get the message that he and Murtha want us to lose and at least recognize their lack of their support for the troops.

Brit mopped the floor with everyone including Williams. He exposed the main fault of the Democratic Party’s arguments- “Lack of real front line information”. I challenge Murtha myself. I even give him a handicap – i am not quick witted. Murtha stands no chance, just like at his own town hal meetings.

Dan Rather would kill–or at least promote fake documents–to have the kind of gravitas that Brit Hume has. Unfortunately for Dan, he lacks even a shred of Hume’s integrity. I just wish Brit would get this angry more often, because his comments are dead on target. Juan Williams got spanked like a fussy 2-year-old.

If one of the republican presidential candidates would just sound like Britt and convince me he meant it, I’d vote for him. Too bad it’s just too hard for a politician to take a clear position in favor of his own country and hold to it. Guess they know they’re not as tough as Bush, and couldn’t take the relentless abuse that would follow.
