War foes take battle to Rep. Murphy's office

Army veteran Paul Abernathy showed yesterday he is not one to back down from a fight, as he protested the war in Iraq in which he fought just a few years ago.
He was among about a dozen or so protesters who staged a demonstration across Washington Road from U.S. Rep. Tim Murphy's Mt. Lebanon office.
Several motorists waved, honked their horns or flashed peace signs to the protesters. Only one dissenter was seen during the hourlong protest.
"If y'all don't like it, you're free to leave," the driver of a pickup truck, his head poking from the window, yelled as he drove past.
