Right-Wing Group Declares War on Americans
Making the rounds in e-mail boxes all over the globe yesterday, was a hateful little diatribe from the right-wing group Move America Forward, that essentially declared war on every American who is against the Iraq quagmire and the pack of lies that took us there. Led by second-tier, conservative radio host Melanie Morgan, Move America Forward has spent the bulk of their time since spawned earlier this year, hounding the mother of a dead solider in Cindy Sheehan and smearing her in print, on the air and in counter-protests in Crawford, Texas.

"The anti-war leadership will sink to any level to advance their twisted and sick extremist political views, and they must be held accountable," said Morgan in her e-mail, directing people to her latest spewing, The liars of the anti-war movement. "In the coming weeks, we at Move America Forward will hold them accountable. This column is the opening salvo."

.......

In yesterday's column, Morgan, among other things, calls decorated-Veteran Congressman John Murtha a coward, accuses Bill Clinton of emboldening Osama bin Laden and urges her readers to question the patriotism of their fellow Americans who oppose the war in Iraq. Morgan and her ilk are quite the ugly minority indeed.

Half the country says we should have stayed out of Iraq entirely and 64 percent say the result of the Iraq war isn’t worth the costs (CBS News) while 65 percent of Americans disapprove of the president’s handling of Iraq (Newsweek). Given that these – and every other major poll taken in 2005 -- show that most of the country is now in opposition to the Iraq war, Morgan's screed amounts to a declaration of war against the majority of the country.

1. Of course, most of the people who would actually ...
... take this kind of email seriously are too stupid to read.

2. what concerns me about hate groups like this
is that one unhinged member might decide to use violence against those who disagree with him and that someone will get hurt. Of course Ms Morgan will deny any responsibility for their actions.
