Sooooo the second Franken accuser is another right winger

Political activism[edit]

Michelle Morgan and Michelle Malkin organized a pro-troop "webathon"[13] on June 26, 2008. Conservative talk-show talent Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, and Mark Levin participated. MAF members raised an aggregate of $1.055 million in gifts for U.S. soldiers and Iraqi children.

She is currently Chair of Move America Forward (MAF), a nonprofit, political advocacy group Supporting our military and providing gifts to U.S. soldiers in Iraq. She was honored by Move America Forward (MAF) members on May 10, 2008.[14] Morgan stated in the USA Today "I don't like third parties" and has been working with the Tea Party movement in California.[15]

During her last trip to the Middle East, Melanie Morgan and one of the Gold Star Mothers, Debbie Lee, brought over 100,000 Christmas cards to troops throughout the area of operations.[16] Morgan will co-host Troopathon

Both strongly create the impression that a second woman has come forth with accusations of sexual misconduct on Franken's part. That impression is false.

One has to read through the linked Mercury News article to find that what Franken is accused of here is continuing a heated argument over budget numbers when the argument was unwelcome and the woman wanted to drop it.

I dont know the political agenda of the Mercury News. When i googled at that time the only 2 other places carrying the story were certified rw nut-job sites.

I haven't heard Franken's story on this. The claims she has made so far, true or false or in-between, have no sexual implications. But you must have realized that most readers of your headline will immediately think, as i did, that the "second Franken accuser" was accusing him of some sexual transgression. Do you know something that nobody else, at this point, knows?

so he could argue some more.

Boorish, if true, but not sexual harassment.
