Will Murtha Next Call Them Crackers?

Jackball liberal Congressman and Barack Obama supporter John Murtha is re-spinning his most recent comments.

Last week, Murtha was ruminating on the prospects of the Presidential contest in Pennsylvania. He expressed the view that Democrat Barrack Obama would carry the Keystone State but left open the door he would lose because western Pennsylvania was “racist.” Then the next morning, noticing that tens of thousands of his constituents did not like being slurred and treated like trash, he apologized.

Oh, he didn’t mean it. It was just a momentary slip of the tongue, right? Bull.

And now, in a fruitless effort to backtrack on those words, John Murtha claims he never meant to indict the entire Western Pennsylvania population as a horde of racists. Rather, they are just “really redneck”, according to the Congressman.

Maybe next he'll say he meant trailer trash.

Unbelievable when the occasional kook at a McCain-Palin rally calls Obama an Arab (and gets upbraided by John McCain for it) and Democrats accuse the Republicans of encouraging hate.  Yet not one Republican official has made these type of comments.

Imagine if Republican Senator Lindsay Graham said he didn't think McCain would win his state because "We have a bunch of bruthas downstate that are going to hook one up for their homey Barack."  It would be on the front page of the New York Times, the HuffPo would overheat and Democrats would be apolectic."

What we learn is Democratic bigotry is acceptable, but Republican is not.  In fact, until he endorsed Barack Obama, the Democrats called Colin Powell a "House Negro,"  the de facto designation for any African American Republican, just ask Condoleeza Rice or Michael Steele, still both supporting McCain and therefore according to Democrats still up in the big house.

New Political TV Sitcoms!

First here's the Democratic point of view:
