Jack Murtha continues the if-you-don’t-vote-for-Obama-you’re-a-racist parade, going so far as to insult his own constituency:

Mr. Murtha said it has taken time for the state’s voters embrace a black presidential candidate.

“There’s no question Western Pennsylvania is a racist area,” said Mr. Murtha, whose district stretches from Johnstown to Washington County. “The older population is more hesitant.”

Bitter clingers, no doubt.
