Murtha Calls Western PA Racist

Hey all you white crackers out in Western Pennsylvania, Jack Murtha, your Democratic representative in Congress thinks you are a racist.
WASHINGTON - Democratic Rep. John Murtha said Wednesday his home base of western Pennsylvania is racist and that could reduce Barack Obama’s victory margin in the state by 4 percentage points.
ADVERTISEMENTThe 17-term Democratic congressman told the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette in a story posted Wednesday on its Web site: “There is no question that western Pennsylvania is a racist area.”
Murtha said it has taken time for many Pennsylvania voters to come around to embracing a black presidential candidate, but that Obama should still win the state, though not in a runaway.
This coming from the retired Marine that stuck the night in the back of his fellow soldiers that have since been exonerated.
Whites should be offended, but strangely they are sympatheic although blacks are polling in the 90’s for Obama.
