Who in the hell are these asshats from Move America Forward?

[youthere]

On CSPAN-1.
they are talking about some boogey man pro-war ad campaign they are planning to run...what the hell did I miss?

[Lerkfish]

1. dunno...sounds like when right wingers steal a liberal name and pervert it, sort of like

when porn movies use names that are almost the same as popular movies....like Shaving Ryan's Privates...that sort of thing.

:)

2. conservative PAC out of California...

started up by, among others, radio talk show host Melanie Morgan. They were behond the Grey Davis recall campaign, as well as a smear campaign against Cindy Sheehan. Also notable for their "peaceful Baghdad street" photo that was actually taken in, if memory serves me correctly, somewhere in the Arabian peninsula.

6. Turkey

[otohara]

3. Real American's

[The_Casual_Observer]

4. Some rw radio nut jobs. They smell profit in "support the troops"

One time they went to Iraq & spent one day at the Airport & came back.

[Touchdown]

5. RW j`erks who tried to get Theaters from showing

Fahrenheit 9/11, and the aformentioned living dry heave, Melanie Morgan.

10. I wonder how much time they spent on the streets of Baghdad?

[jwirr]

11. Why are they on Cspan? Who invited them?

[youthere]

13. I don't know who invited them..

I only watched a few minutes because, quite honestly, they made me want to retch. I think they were adressing the press club in regards to a new rah-rah war television ad that they are going to be broadcasting nationwide. They have some pretty sick readio spots too. Apparently they've had a bunch of radio and television ads out before. I've never seen or heard any of them, so I assume they must only have air time on Faux or on the bloviating right wing gas bag programs.

17. I don't know,, but one of their spokespeople was on Washington Journal

last week. KKKKarl has got to be getting pretty desperate if they've drug these nuts out of the closet to spin their talking points.

[Virginia Dare]

12. Funded in no small part by the Walton Family..

and a few other very rich people who would very much like to stay that way.

14. Former Assemblymen Howard Kaloogian was one of the founders

he's run for tried to run for Boxers seat, Feinstein's seat and Gov and he obviously failed ever time, he's a total hack.

[VOX]

16. He was chair of the Recall Gray Davis Committee, and used the fake "Baghdad photos"...

in his abortive run in a 2006 special election to fill the opening in California's 50th District to the House of Representatives caused by the resignation of disgraced former Congressman Randy "Duke" Cunningham.

His Move America Forward, was also responsible for the "counterprotesters" this past weekend in DC.

This bozo and his minions are hard core. They lie, cheat and steal, to the point of overturning a legitimate election (the recall of Gray Davis), by paying some poor sods a bounty for every petition signature.

[ComerPerro]

15. what is it with conservatives and their love of ironic names?

Move America Forward, by implimenting regressive policies.

[Robbien]

18. These guys set themselves up as a not for profit org. They say they don't favor either party.

In fact they received their not for profit IRS tax exemption based on the fact they are non-partisan.

But they go on CSpan pushing rabid right GOP goals.

[onethatcares]

19. how do you do a rah rah pro war spot? on television??

do you show our troops blowing the brains out of what they call insurgents then turning the bodies over to find women and children? Do they show Abrams tanks blowing up apartment buildings and body parts flying out? Do they show headless/armless/legless Muslims?

This logic escapes me completely.

[youthere]

20. it's the old "We must fight them over THERE.."meme..

the commercial ends with a lovely *snark* shot of mushroom cloud over America. I think it's a shitake.
