CRAZY WINGNUT BITCH ON PBS

More precisely, Melanie Morgan was on NewsHour and here's the transcript and a link to the audio clip. She's from wacko group Move America Forward and you can get some sense of the agit-prop they indulge in here. She was paired with "Jon Soltz ... co-founder and chair of www.VoteVets.org, an organization that supports redeployment of the troops from Iraq. He served as an Army captain in Iraq from May to September of 2003."

Here are some excerpts:

JUDY WOODRUFF: And, Melanie Morgan, Move America Forward, what do you want to see happen in Iraq?
MELANIE MORGAN: I want to see victory, and apparently the Democrats don't...


JUDY WOODRUFF: And I'm going to have Mr. Soltz respond to that, but, just to be clear, you're saying you want the troops to stay how long?
MELANIE MORGAN: I want the troops to stay until the job is done. And that will be determined by our generals who are running and prosecuting this war. ... Tell them that they are failing, that they have a failed, miserable performance, that they are losing. I'd like to see Mr. Soltz say that to the troops in the field, as well. I don't think that you would get that exact same opinion from them, nor from the millions of other Americans who wish for us...
JON SOLTZ: We are the troops.


JON SOLTZ:...And that's what we're here to fix. Get our troops out of Iraq so we can fight the war on terror.


MELANIE MORGAN: ...We make it powerfully and visually apparent to everybody that, if we don't win in Iraq, we are going to lose America. It's that simple.

MELANIE MORGAN: Well, it's nice to know that you really believe in the fearsome firepower of al-Qaida and in their ability to win a war. And I think what you're saying is shameful and really disrespectful to our troops.
JON SOLTZ: You're undermining our troops in the field right now by these comments...
JON SOLTZ: I am the troops.


MELANIE MORGAN: ...We will write our congressmen and our representatives, and we will be just as active, energized and engaged as those on the leftist, anti-American, anti-war side. And you can count on it.

JON SOLTZ: ...She better spend her money on the Republicans, because they're fracturing real quick, because they can't stand with a president who's like an anchor on their policy. So, Ms. Morgan, spend your money on the right, because we're playing offense, not defense.
