Following is a short excerpt from Taylor Marsh's yeoman work "The Swiftboating of John Murtha"; you owe it to yourself, especially if you are somewhat new to all this political stuff, to read through her piece. Click the Patriot Project link.
The Patriot Project: ". . .Once called one of the most hawkish members of Congress, Rep. John Murtha is now being presented as some anti war coward. His remarks about Haditha have unleashed just the latest salvo in the swiftboating strategy invented by conservatives, which they are now being forced to defend and explain.
Prior to 2005, The Cybercast News Service (CNS), purveyor of all things conservative and run by L. Brent Bozell III, had only one article about Rep. John Murtha. The headline was laudatory: Congressional Bill Would Establish Memorial for Victims of 9/11 (March 8, 2002). But on November 18, 2005, Bozell's team shot into action and hasn't stopped attacking Rep. Murtha since. . ."
