4. She called herself Melanie Morgan, Vice Chair of Move America Forward
Edited on Mon Jul-26-04 03:04 PM by VolcanoJen
Claims to have been a reporter covering the Beirut Marine Barracks bombings in 1983.

Interesting, I found, that they chose to show flag-draped coffins being loaded onto the planes in 1983... hmmmm...

5. Ah, her view on F9/11.
Melanie Morgan appeared on the June 16 Crossfire to argue her group's case against Michael Moore's film. Which, by the way, she has not seen. There's nothing like a good old-fashioned boycott based on not knowing anything about the source material.

Questioned by Crossfire co-host James Carville on not seeing the film, Morgan explained, "…I haven't seen the film yet. And the reason I haven't seen it yet is because the majority of America has not seen the movie, and the reason why the majority of America hasn't seen the movie is because it's only been screened for a handful of Hollywood liberals and elite media. But I have been able to discern from the footage and from the information that is available by transcript on the Internet what the true intentions of Michael Moore are." In addition to being conservative, Morgan is also, apparently, psychic.

She is trying to fashion herself as the anti-Moore to get her 15 minutes.

3. I saw it too
It was pathetic. How can ANYONE fall for that "if you speak out you're a terrorist crap?"
I can't wait until November.

6. It was clearly set up as a "Blame Clinton" ad, too.
It played into every one of the deep-held beliefs and fears of the wingernuts. Frightening.

8. MoveAmericas bowels forward
just ran another ad... complete disconnect... showing very OLD
photos of Iraqis waving american flags and how the "liberal"
media is doing a horrible job reporting how the war in Iraq is
REALLY going... and that the "vast majority" of American troops
are doing a upstanding job building schools and hospitals and
and and...

holy shit, I can't believe this crap. If ANY of this had been
happening as they claim (even in isolated spots in Iraq) Faux
would have been all over it. Is there ANYONE this stupid in
America that believes this crap?

Holy shit.

10. Michael Moore should take this head on.
I don't have the clever imagination he does but he should take this ad and use it as an example of how the media lies and manipulates emotions to further a corporate war agenda. Use it against them to self destruct their own agenda.
