Psychologists would call this projection

My constituents are racists.  Sorry, I meant to say “rednecks.”  “Really redneck.”

Yes, those quotations comes from Representative John Murtha, but you knew that already, didn’t you?

Retired Lt. Col. Bill Russell is his opponent. 

Murtha was an early* supporter of Barack Obama, but it’s getting increasingly difficult to see why–or how–Murtha is supporting Obama.

*Sean points out in the comments below that Murtha first endorsed Hillary Clinton.  That makes a lot more sense given what we see of Murtha now.

    If by “early” you mean he endorsed Obama after the primaries were over, and after he endorsed Hillary on March 18th, I suppose you’d be right.
