Melanie Morgan compares Media Matters to Virgina Tech gunman.

[edbermac]

In an April 20 column for WorldNetDaily.com, Melanie Morgan, co-host of San Francisco radio station KSFO's Lee Rodgers & Melanie Morgan Program, compared Media Matters for America to the Virginia Tech gunman who killed 32 people before shooting himself to death. Morgan wrote: "Like that mentally unbalanced and angry gunman at Virginia Tech, they'll methodically march through the domiciles of the conservative movement, targeting the movement's leaders for career elimination -- until and unless we stand up and fight back against their campaign of mayhem against conservative leaders and causes." Morgan also attacked Media Matters as "left-wing free speech Nazis."

Morgan wrote: "I have lived on the other side of the gun barrel pointed by Media Matters for America for the better part of three years, and I know what it feels like when a bunch of crackpots with keyboards pull the trigger, backed by millions upon millions of dollars in funding from George Soros." She added: "The transcripts and audio files of my comments have been excerpted, misrepresented and reconfigured to take statements out of context, reprinted with lies and distortions, and then disseminated to other liberal media outlets with fierce resolve." Morgan offered no evidence to support these accusations. Moreover, Media Matters has never received money from progressive philanthropist George Soros.

Morgan has smeared Soros in the past, agreeing with co-host Lee Rodgers' assertion that Soros "apparently very cheerfully and willingly went to work for the Nazis" as a young boy, and adding that Soros did so to "further his own career." KSFO's program director announced in a subsequent show that Rodgers' and Morgan's comments about Soros "are not accurate, and KSFO regrets that they were broadcast." Morgan also has announced that "we've got a bull's-eye painted on Nancy Pelosi's big, wide laughing eyes."

1. Ironic. Her right to say such ludicrous things is protected by the first ammendment

Sometimes I wish they took it away entirely, the first ammendment. Just for a day, so these asshats could see what the first ammendment protects.

8. But it does not give her the right to tell lies.

And she compared what Media Matters does to having a gun fired at her? Sounds to me like she's bucking for another Worst Person in the World award.

They really hate Media Matters, because Media Matters is constantly ready to debunk their lies and expose their insanity.

9. As a MMFA donator,

it gives me a great deal of satisfaction to know that my donations to MMFA have been well worth it each and every time I see the likes of Morgan, O'Reilly, Weiner, and Boortz squeeling out loud like the pigs that they are.
And most recently, they have all have been doing alot of it.

[merh]

11. Well if they

reconfigure the transcripts and audio files of your comments why not bring suit. As for as the excerpts, your words speak for themselves, so just deal with it and stop lying.
