Move America Forward (RW Wackos) Planning Attack Against Murtha

[NightOwwl]

Somehow I ended up on the mailing list of "Move America Forward." Their chairman is Melanie Morgan, puffy-lipped bimbo extraordinaire. Here is a portion of the email received today (bold is mine):

Friends,

The past few weeks we have seen shameless and cowardly actions that undermine our military men and women, not to mention the American mission to rid the world of international Islamic terrorism. The likes of Congressman John Murtha, Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi, former Democrat Attorney General Ramsey Clark, Michael Moore, Cindy Sheehan, MoveOn.org and others sunk to new lows.

I know that you must be as sick and tired of these people as I am. Well, actions have consequences. And, we have to call them out for what they have done to undermine American morale and encourage the terrorism in believing they can wait out our resolve to defeat them.

The anti-war leadership will sink to any level to advance their twisted and sick extremist political views, and they must be held accountable.

And, in the coming weeks, we at Move America Forward WILL hold them accountable.

-- Melanie Morgan
Chairman, Move America Forward

There is a smell in the air, and it ain't pretty. In the upcoming weeks we are going to see a vicious assault on Murtha, Pelosi and anyone else who speaks out against the war. It's probably going to make the SwiftBoat Liars look like choir boys. Prepare yourselves...it's going to get ugly.

1. We turn it back on them.

After all, didn't Bill O'Reilly just call for a terrorist attack on a NAVY town? On a monument to FIRE FIGHTERS?

The crazier they get, the easier our work is. Hope with me that they attack Murtha. They're toast.

:toast:

[NightOwwl]

3. A quote from Murtha...

"This is not a war of words. This is a real war."

Melanie hasn't gotten the message yet. She's too busy playing the name-calling game. I agree with you...this will backfire on them.

:toast:

[Swamp Rat]

4. I'm doing my best

:D



I hope they DO attack Murtha. The counter-attack will be merciless! :mad:

[EFerrari]

14. Yeah! Let them feel the wrath of Swamp Rat!

:applause:

[Erika]

2. Oh, Golly, I hope this doesn't upset Miss Laura

and her fresh flowers Xmas tree. They DO have their priorities.

And the coffins keep rolling in at Dover.

Let the GOP Ugly bring it on.

[Swamp Rat]

5. BRING IT ON!!!

I've got nothing to lose! :grr:

[NightOwwl]

7. I'm with you....

Bring it on, you gutless cowards!

[EFerrari]

16. All the corruption on the outside. Truly brilliant, Swampy. n/t

[KharmaTrain]

6. Golddigger/Bullshit Alert!!!

This is the babe who did the "You Don't Speak For Me" bullshit last summer...all funded and fronted by a Repugnican PR hack (he better watch out...Hurricane Abramoff lurks...).

Now I'm trying to picture where Ramsey Clark, Michael Moore and Nancy Pelosi hang...that must be one hell of a party, eh? Unlike the Repugnican mindmeld machine, Democrats don't have a centrally funded slime machine...our people actually came to these conclusions by doing something totally against the nature of any Repugnican...self thought.

Morgan's looking for both fame and a quick pay day. Getting her name out there gets her on the wingnut, Faux talk shows and, she hopes, out of that lousy radio gig and into the TV fast track like all the rest of the really high-priced media whores. Sorry, Melanie, you're about 7 years too late.

[NightOwwl]

8. Oh yeah...didn't she get about 7 people to respond to her "call to arms."

I'm trembling in my boots. :eyes:

9. Melanie Morgan is just another Coulter- Malkin type whack job.

Sluts with Nuts would be a better name for them.

[ComerPerro]

10. How can a regressive group call itself "Move America Forward"???

It just blows my mind.

[EFerrari]

12. Because they wanted to cut into MoveOn's draw. They

must have paid a PR firm big money for that idea.

[SkiGuy]

11. I say good luck to them

because they'll need it. Jack 'The Animal' Murtha will eat them alive!

[SkiGuy]

15. edit

JOHN not Jack (duh)

[NightOwwl]

20. Hi SkiGuy....

Welcome to DU! :hi:

[SkiGuy]

21. Hi NightOwwl

Thanks.:-)

[Mutley]

13. Bring it on, b**ch!

We're waitin' for ya. :rofl:

[NJmaverick]

17. This group and their leader george bush are traitors

Have given a huge amount of aid to our terrorists enemies. They are guilty of treason and betraying our Country

Connections with Russo Marsh and Rogers


<snip>
MAF strategist Sal Russo is also the founder and principal at the Republican-leaning public relations / public affairs firm Russo Marsh and Rogers (RM&R) <6> (http://www.rmrweb.com/Principals.asp) - although the firm is not listed in his MAF bio. <7> (http://www.moveamericaforward.org/index.php/MAF/AboutUs#12)

MAF and RM&R have been closely linked since MAF's inception. The MAF website address was initially registered to RM&R (see below). <8> (http://www.whatreallyhappened.com/moveamericaforward.html) MAF and RM&R offices are located in the same building, and calls to the two organizations are answered by the same receptionist, according to several reports. <9> (http://www.pacificviews.org/weblog/archives/000202.html)

In an interview with journalist Bill Berkowitz, RM&R account executive Joe Wierzbicki said, "There is nothing secret about our relationship with Move America Forward," adding that Russo "helped set it in motion." Wierzbicki said RM&R does "all of public relations stuff, press releases, and radio and television ads that have been aired to date," and MAF "also uses Douglas Lorenz, the webmaster at RM&R, as their webmaster." (MAF's website makes no mention of Lorenz's involvement.)

For all this work, "RM&R doesn't charge Move America Forward any consulting fees and doesn't receive any retainer from the organization." MAF does "pay for the advertising placements from money they receive from small donors," according to Wierzbicki. <10> (http://www.mediatransparency.org/story.php?storyID=78) Website Registration

19. Thanks BrotherBuzz...

I'd forgotten this group is in Sacramento...practically right in my back yard (Folsom.) Ugh...I'm embarrassed to be in the same neighborhood.

22. Their "Cindy doesn't speak for us" tour was canceled because not enough

people signed up. Instead of a bus, everyone had to take their own car. It was a total flop!

They are a very lame 527 group with very little power and clout. Who cares about those ass holes!
