Vince Micco & Todd Riffle Latest Republicans to Challenge Murtha's Courage

(I dub thee Sir Todd Riffle, Knight of the 101st Fighting Keyboardists. - promoted by jmelli)

I guess Tom Wilson is tired of looking like a jackass in the NJ GOP press releases and e-mails, so now he's having communications director Todd Riffle do it for him.

From an e-mail sent out today (emphasis mine):

New Jersey 9th Congressional District candidate Vice [sic] Micco will appear on the Hannity and Colmes T.V. program tonight at 9:00 PM to debate Rep. John Murtha's Democrat view of the war and the call to cut and run from Iraq.

Vince will offer a special point of view since he served nine years in the U.S. Army, including a year in Iraq as a sergeant fighting terrorism as part of a counter-intelligence unit.

He experienced the war on the front lines, not from behind a desk in Washington D.C. He saw the good things U.S. Soldiers are doing there and how much the Iraqi families appreciate what Americans are doing for them. Vince is running for the U.S. Congress in the Ninth District (Bergen, Hudson, Passaic counties) now because he believes America cannot back down in the war on terrorism.

Just a few thoughts on this:

1. Doesn't the NJGOP realize that attacking John Murtha by either implying or outright saying that he's a coward can only backfire in their faces.  Jean Schmidt did it and almost lost to Paul Hackett.  People realize that A) it's not true, B) it's a dirty attack, and C) normally the person saying it is a chickenhawk.

2. Ooooooo...Hannity and Colmes.  That's a really tough show for a Republican.  That Colmes guy is such a big bully!  Do NJ cable companies even carry Fox News?

3. Todd Riffle probably earned himself a promotion in the 101st Fighting Keyboardists.

And Goodfellow Micco's... (0.00 / 0)
"Experience" is what?

The nom de plume has a long and distinguished history.

Who writes this stuff? (0.00 / 0)
The reference to the "Democrat view of the war" is so awkward, it's almost embarrassing. Will these folks ever tire of that contrived phrasing?

Just one small correction (0.00 / 0)
Jean Schmidt almost lost to Paul Hackett before she called Murtha a coward on the House Floor.

Though within hours she came right back and took those comments from the record. Due to all the booing and perhaps threats of being hit with cabbage and rotten tomatoes next time she got to the podium.

Media In Trouble


Murtha needn't worry (0.00 / 0)
about any comments by republican males. They are mostly impotent and ignorant thus leaving them with their knuckles and dicks dragging in the dirt. So what happens when the Republican candidate's gay lover releases the motel tapes?
Thank Zeus I'm a Democrat

Restore democracy and the Constitution for which it stands.
