But, when I left six years ago, Murtha was right. I don't think he should be condemned for telling the truth. Instead, the people of those areas should look inside themselves and see if the word fits.AnonanonFri, 24 Oct 2008 04:11:21 -0000http://washingtonindependent.com/14550/real-pennsylvanians-and-the-murtha-backlash#comment-3269910Dear Western Pennsylvanians: Please don't fire Murtha! You have to give it to the guy - he is honest. How was he to know that the unspoken rule is that people can BE racist, but NEVER EVER say it or put it in writing.pdhenFri, 24 Oct 2008 04:06:27 -0000http://washingtonindependent.com/14550/real-pennsylvanians-and-the-murtha-backlash#comment-3266387For some more of 'real' Pennsylvanians, check out the 100 foot tall mural painted in a field near Shickshinny, Pa. It just went up on the Pa part of Obama's website. Better yet, take a plane ride overhead. It's pretty amazing, even if I am biased!karenThu, 23 Oct 2008 21:18:12 -0000http://washingtonindependent.com/14550/real-pennsylvanians-and-the-murtha-backlash#comment-3266239My momma always told me, racist is as racist does.Carlos RoverosThu, 23 Oct 2008 21:03:07 -0000
