Rep. Murtha Clarifies 'Racist' Remark, Calls Western Pa. 'Redneck'
Democratic Rep. John Murtha said Monday some of his constituents in western Pennsylvania are "rednecks" and the entire region just five to 10 years ago was "really redneck."
The comments come one week after he called his own constituents "racist" in an interview with his local newspaper.
"What I said, that indicted everybody, that's not what I meant at all. What I mean is there's still folks that have a problem voting for someone because they are black," Murtha said.
Murtha said the history of southwestern Pennsylvania is teeming with racism. "This whole area, years ago, was really redneck," he told WTAE-TV Pittsburgh.
Keep talking, Johnny...keeeeeeep talking.

I can't believe he managed to clarify his previous remarks, surely his foot was impeding his speech.
