Murtha to Constituents: Sorry About Calling You Racists, I Meant To Say Rednecks
Posted on October 20, 2008
Who are having a hard time letting go of racist feelings. Seriously.
U.S. Rep. John Murtha is calling many of the people who put him in office “rednecks.”
The news comes one week after Murtha claimed the area is racist, then apologized for that comment.In explaining his comments about racism, Murtha told WTAE it’s difficult for many in the area to change. Murtha said that just five to 10 years ago the entire area was “redneck.” [Murtha was elected to Congress in 1974... apparently by "racist rednecks"]
Now Murtha said only certain segments of the population are holding on to those racist feelings.
Just days after classifying western Pennsylvania as racist, Murtha took a step back from those comments, albeit a small one.
“What I said, that indicted everybody, that’s not what I meant at all. What I mean is there’s still folks that have a problem voting for someone because they are black,” Murtha said.
Murtha said the history of southwestern Pennsylvania is rife with racism.
“This whole area, years ago, was really redneck,” Murtha told Channel 4 Action News.
Murtha believes there is one segment of the population which is holding on to its racist beliefs and he said it’s difficult for them to change. Murtha said it may be even more difficult for them to vote for Barack Obama.
“Particularly older people. They want change but they don’t want to see things go too far,” Murtha said.
Murtha is stupid, and after maligning troops as murderers and his own constituents as racist rednecks…if his constituents vote him back in when the time comes…they’re stupid too.

Murtha is a moronic douche who should be voted out of office the very next cycle.
You can’t be this much of a smack in front of people and expect them to vote you in….AGAIN.
Isn’t Murtha the guy that said something to the effect of “tough sh*t” when called out on some earmarks or something?
If people don’t vote for someone simply because they’re Black thats racist. Such bigoted morons have no place in America. If these people don’t like the fact that Blacks are in America then, well, an apology for slavery perhaps? Because without slavery you wouldn’t have to “deal” with Blacks today. Whites brought to America Blacks as slaves, if Blacks were good enough to buy 200 years ago Blacks are sure as hell good enough to lead this damn country.
Jay says “good enough to lead this damn country” just that statement alone proves your just another America hating fool, if you don’t like it here get the hell out and if your not from here butt the hell out.
There were thousands of Whites that fought and died in the civil war to free the ungrateful blacks.
Arabs and Muslims were the biggest slave traders of all time, Blacks were being sold by blacks and many African tribal chiefs apologized for it.
Take your nonsense to them. (ò¿ó)
Murthas brain is ether the size of a walnut mini M & M or even smaller perhaps to the size of a ameba
