Ken Mehlman Outs his Anger

Suddenly, Mehlman's Horse isn't So High: Murphy Trains the Iraqi Army

Like thousands of patriotic Americans, RNC Chair Ken Mehlman has decided to fight. No, he isn't volunteering for Afghanistan or Iraq, or anywhere actually in the War on Terror. Instead, Ken Mehlman has enlisted his talents in attacking those who have.

Mehlman issued a "research paper" this morning attacking MoveOn.org and the "Defeatocrats" whom they support. Typically, Mehlman's research papers are over-the-top affairs (often featuring homophobic tirades) and the one released this morning features equally flaming rhetoric.

MoveOn.Org Supporting Defeatocrat House Candidate Patrick Murphy (D-PA):

Murphy Wants To Cut-And-Run In Iraq. Murphy: "It is time to change the direction in Iraq, and we need to start bringing our men and women home now." (Patrick Murphy For Congress Website, www.murphy06.com, Accessed 8/24/06)

Melhman calls Murphy a "cut-and-run" Democrat. The Army calls Murphy a decorated veteran. What Mehlman fails to mention is that Captain Patrick Murphy most likely has a better grasp on the ground situation in Iraq than he. It was Captain Murphy, a former paratrooper and constitutional law professor at West Point, who dedicated himself to training the Iraqi Army. That's not exactly cut-and-run. In comparison, about the bravest thing Ken Mehlman has done during the War in Iraq is finally confessing to reporters that he is straight. Such heroism.

Patrick Murphy is running for Congress in the 8th Congressional District of Pennsylvania. He represents one of our party's best opportunities to defeat a Republican incumbent this election cycle.
