Rep. John Murtha: Western Pennsylvania Is Racist

There is no question that western Pennsylvania is a racist area, said Pennsylvania Congressional Representitave John Murtha who represents the western portion of the Keystone state. Murtha's remarks were told to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette which posted the 17 term Congressman's liberal bon mot on its Web Site.

The Gazette reports that, It was the second time this year a prominent Pennsylvania Democrat questioned whether the state's white voters would cast ballots for Mr. Obama. In February, Gov. Ed Rendell told the Post-Gazette editorial board that the state has pockets of conservative white voters and 'I think there are some whites who are probably not ready to vote for an African-American candidate.'

Do you hear that Western PA? Jack Murtha and Ed Rendell say you're a bunch of racists for not supporting the messiah!
