I saw this on the PBS newshour last night. Folks, this is a great organization and Jon Soltz does a great job in this clip of tearing apart right-wing talking points!

Is that woman related to Ann Coulter? (Watch the video and see what I'm talking about).

When Soltz rightly said Bush wouldn't serve in Viet Nam (and even the rwing has to concede Bush checked the box declining Viet Nam service - its a part of his NG record that still exists), she moaned. And didn't I hear her say that it IS about protecting Bush?

Oh Please when John said Bush didn't have the guts to serve in Vietnam. These People do not speak for Veterans or Military Families

I was going crazy cause I couldn't get on to scream about her.

Soltz was great!

Soltz did a really good job.

Melanie Morgan was awful; no facts, rude, 100% talking points.

Long time, no see!

(that is a hint) :P


:hug:

Love ya,

Steve

went to iraq to report the good news of iraq, a while back. of course, she and the rest never left the green zone.

her face is incapable of expression.

"in place"????? Christ, it's like they have some kind of incurable torrets (sp?) syndrome or something?

The only thing I can figure is that, subconsciously, because she knows the Iraqi government is failing (even if she can't consciously express that thought), she calls it "Democrat."

Weird, I know.

The only response to the assertion that 'Bush listens to his generals' should be "Name one whose strategic advice he took."

I should do some research, can some responses, send them out and hope the Dems and the level-heads use them. Right now, the Dems need to start controlling the conversations. It's not a hard thing to do, it just means asking the right questions. The above may not be perfect, but the point is to put the many flaws of the Bush-bots on wide display. That should be a cake-walk with everything there is to work with.

This must be done throughout the media.

Democrats have a chance to literally sweep this bunch of assholes out of power. I have no illusions that they will always be lawful, but the chance to restore some balance to this out of control government is worth one party rule for a while.

Move America Forward (MAF) is a conservative 501c3 not-for-profit organization formed in early 2004 by Howard Kaloogian and "acclaimed radio and television personality" Melanie Morgan (KSFO 560 AM -- San Francisco) <1> and headed by California Republican activists, talk show hosts and staff members of the public relations firm Russo Marsh & Rogers, which has strong ties to the Republican Party.

According to its website, MAF "is a non-partisan, not-for-profit organization committed to supporting America's efforts to defeat terrorism and supporting the brave men and women of our Armed Forces." <2> MAF identifies their domestic opponents as "self-loathing liberal journalists and 'Blame America First' politicians" (June 29, 2005 email, titled "The War at Home - in America").

activity. According to the IRS website, even the leaders are suposed to make sure that their views are identified as personal

Individual Activity by Organization Leaders

The political campaign activity prohibition is not intended to restrict free expression on political matters by leaders of organizations speaking for themselves, as individuals. Nor are leaders prohibited from speaking about important issues of public policy. However, for their organizations to remain tax-exempt under section 501(c)(3), leaders cannot make partisan comments in official organization publications or at official functions.

To avoid potential attribution of their comments outside of organization functions and publications, organization leaders who speak or write in their individual capacity are encouraged to indicate clearly that their comments are personal and not intended to represent the views of the organization.

they are not SUPPOSED to engage in political activities. This group is an "astro-turf" org created by a right-wing lobbying company to spout their venom and bullshit in support of right-wing crap.

Of course, in this jingoistic country any bunch of yahoos spouting their "support" for the troops is given a pass.

They should be reported to the IRS and stripped of their 501(c)(3) status. But they won't be.

glad I didn't miss this one.

A lot of these right wing women look alike don't they? Guess they are all part of some mold. Wish they would crawl back in.



Welcome to DU calteacherguy!

Bring back the draft with no deferments and watch this war end immediately.

Melanie Morgan, aka Stiffler's mom

... first to mouth off, never risked her own life for her country!

Does that make Bush and Cheney one too?

Why isn't she enlisted, she wants to "win the peace" so much. Wait, if she was in Iraq, she wouldn't be able to get new fat puffed into her lips. That would be a real hardship for sure.

That blonde from MAF is a dumb twit. :puke:

Good grief I started yelling at my computer monitor :grr:

Who told this woman cosmetic surgery was a good idea? Probably a neocon.

No kidding. She looks like a big mouthed bass!!
