Michael Savage vs. John Murtha
January 3, 2006
Conservative radio talk show fascist Michael “bring back the Sedition Act” Savage is upset with Congressman John Murtha–again. This time it is because Murtha said in an interview that the would not join today’s military. Savage’s rantings cannot simply be dismissed. Thousands of conservatives share the same mindset–anyone opposed to the war is a traitor or, as Savage labeled Murtha tonight, a Benedict Arnold.
What are all of the military-worshipping Christians who chastised me for daring to say that a Christian should not join the military going to do with Murtha–a Vietnam veteran who was awarded the Bronze Star, two Purple Hearts, and the Vietnamese Cross of Gallantry?
