When Pond Scum Attacks: Smearing Jack Murtha

As touted by Firedoglake where it appears, Taylor Marsh offers us "Anatomy of a Smear", how extremist right wingnuts - who would never deem to sign up for the wars they demand others fight - are going after 34-year Marine veteran, Dem Jack Murtha as some anti-war coward (they're nothing if not funny). Go read... but here's a snip-snip (as I'd like to do with the testicles - if they have them - and tongues of these wingnuts):

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.

What happened to release the cascade of conservative vitriol now directed at Democratic Congressman and respected war veteran Jack Murtha?
That's a tease, respond accordingly by going to read.
