Convictions

I guess Congressman Murtha got an award from the Navy. It was signed by Bush's outgoing Secretary, and was probably payback for lots and lots of military contracts from the king of pork. Silly, if you ask me. But to Freepers, the goring of a sacred cow:

yarddog goes for the hyperbole right out of the gate:

I know he was in the Marines but I don’t care. He is simply a traitor. Giving him that award is an insult to all Americans who love their country.

Ann Archy's post is notable for it's odd construction:

WHO is the Secy of the Navy???? I want his NAME!!! What a FREAK.

Freak? Who says that about one's political opposites?

TurtleUp can totally speak because he has friends in the Marines:

I have friends and relatives who were and are Marines, and I am disgusted at the disrespect shown to all Marines by the SECNAV. The Marines work for the Secretary of the Navy, as part of the Department of the Navy, and yet the Navy is presenting this award to one of the few public figures who hates America and our military as much as Obama does? To quote Murtha:

FlingWingFlyer sees things in pretty stark terms:

WTF?!?!

The military is now handing out awards to its enemies? Weird.

And then the always civil Freepers start on the death/torture threats/fantasies:

Leo Farnsworth goes old-style:

I believe he should win the Keelhauled award.
Hope the ship hasn't been bottom painted in five or more years.

Syncro goes for a detailed fantasy:

John Murtha: Traitor

Fair trial

Conviction

Hung by the neck until dead

Awarding this medal to this despicable anti-Troop lying politician is proof that the upper echelons of the military are no longer servicemen but politicians.

The one responsible for this should be tried for aiding and abetting the enemy.

Wait, Bush's SECNAV should be tried for treason? Serious business.

Well, at least he gets due process in the court of the Internets.
