    Pelosi wants to name a Navy ship after John Murtha.




    Yes this is the same guy that accused Marines of murdering civilians just days after a report of civilian deaths. Without bothering to see what an investigation comes up with.




    This guy was a piece of shit imo.

    There's no reason that he should be on a TV show claiming cover up's and murder before the investigation has concluded. The things he said are blatantly biased against the Military and our Serving men and women in the Military. What a slap in the face.

      I dislike Pelosi more than anybody in the world. That says a lot.

      Murtha is a scumbag dirtbag. I hope he rots in hell.

          I'm all for this idea on one single condition....

          The S.S. Murtha be the focus of at-sea artillary practice with live ammo. Now that would be a symbolic gesture.

              If anyone would, it would be her. Goddamn, I hope she follows Reid out.

                The article says

                "House Speaker Nancy Pelosi praised the Navy’s decision to name an amphibious warship after Rep. John Murtha, but the formal announcement last Friday added fuel to an already smoldering backlash online."

                Your thread title makes it seem like it was her idea.

                It wasn't.

                Looks like some of you fellows took the bait without digging a little. :p

                  Do some research. It was Polosi's idea. But that doesn't change the fact the Navy still decides.
                  The Navy doesn't just come up with these ideas on their own...

                  But you can keep arguing semantics all day long.

                    Research? Neither of the links you posted in any way support your assertion! Show me the link where Pelosi claims to have come up with idea. She certainly doesn't claim it on her official site. I would think she would-she claims every-fucking-thing-else! Uber-conservative blogger Michele Malkin doesn't point a finger either.

                    I see things on blogs like "some people speculate it was Pelosi's idea". Speculate. As in they don't know.

                    Again. Post the link that affirmatively ties her to this.

                    Not defending Pelosi, or Murtha, but there's a big difference between "might have" and "did".

                      there's not much love for this from the navy- some outside commentators (military bloggers, etc.) have likened it to calling a ship the "USS Jane Fonda" (for you young types, she was slipped a piece of paper in Vietnam during an anti-war visit by an American POW. It contained the names of everyone in the camp, which the N. Vietnamese weren't releasing. she turned the list over to the North Vietnamese, and the POW's were tortured. Repeatedly. And their families missed the opportunity to know if their husbands/dads were alive.)

                      I haven't seen many favorable reactions to this from inside the Navy on all levels.

                        While her other actions were despicable, the part about her leaking the secret documents to the NVA is an internet rumor. Just sayin'

                        The long-standing claim that Jane Fonda turned smuggled messages from U.S. POWs over to their North Vietnamese captors is false.


                        On a side note, I just noticed that Murtha was a retired Colonel. Strange that he would be so quick to throw servicemen under the bus like that.
