Ladies, Gentlemen and Trolls:
I think it’s safe to declare victory for Operation Yellow Feather‘s original objective. We have “Mean Jean” Schmidt on the run!
“While I strongly disagree with his policy, neither Representative Bubp nor I ever wished to attack Congressman Murtha,” she said. “I only take exception to his policy position.”
Bubp said in a statement of his own Tuesday that his conversation with Schmidt “was based strictly on the proposal to immediately withdraw our troops from Iraq and the consequences of such a proposal.”
Schmidt declined during an interview on Cincinnati radio station WLW to discuss her fellow Republican’s denial: “I was repeating words. I am not going to get into that debate.”
Neither Schmidt nor Bubp returned calls left at their offices Tuesday.
We will not take their hateful rhetoric any longer, and if it takes something snarky like a yellow feather to shut their holes, then so be it!

RenaRF’s blog entry is also gathering comments, and my site received a decent amount of hits yesterday.
Great work, now the question is: where does all of this lead?
My suggestion is, keep a lookout for any outrageous behavior by local (or national) Chicken Hawks. Here’s a prime example:
Limbaugh added that people “portray [Murtha] as a former hawk,” and asked: “What kind of serious hawk calls for withdrawals like this?” Limbaugh then added: “I don’t think he ever has been a hawk … in his career … as a congressman.“
(emphasis mine, through uncontrollable spitting, gagging and curses)
