Former KSFO conservative talk radio co-host, provacateur and activist Melanie Morgan resigned from her nationally-syndicated radio show Monday for health reasons.

We connected with Morgan Monday. She says "I'm fine," but wanted to return to the Bay Area from Washington, D.C. to be near family and friends as she continues to explore what she calls her "health challenge."

In a note to listeners Monday, Morgan said, "Yes, it's true. I am leaving the radio. For a while."

10. There's a comment in the sfgate thread

Someone who knows her - claims she's an alcoholic and that's what she's being treated for. Might be wrong, but the person seemed sympathetic toward her.

11. Interesting. Thanks for the (possible) inside info. nt

5. what a shame

6. I am NOT going to wish the lying hatemonger well.

She lied about Iraq war veteran and vets' activist Jon soltz, saying he "undermin[ed] the real mission of our troops."

Then, she just plain made up military law so she could call Soltz "a hypocrite and a liar."

Let's not forget the hateful, eliminationist "execute the traitor" vitriol she had for Bill Keller -- which she was still trying in vain to defend a year later.

http://mediamatters.org/research/200704200014">Then there was the time she compared mediamatters.org to the Virginia Tech gunman. Stay classy!

Her anti-intellectual, anti-debate "interrupt and shout down" tactics backfired so badly on PBS "NewsHour" that she was banned from the show.

Then there was the time she laughably and delusionally accused American Muslims of trying to enact sharia law.

That's just a taste of the lies and hatred she's shown for progressives, liberals, Democrats and patriots.

She has undermined discourse.

She has lied. Repeatedly.

She has hurt our country.

I hope she suffers long and intensely.

7. Internal venom leak, maybe?

I'll bet she has no trouble with ample health insurance.............

[diamidue]

12. Is gambling considered a "health" problem?

'Cause I guess she has had that sort of "health" problem before.

18. I wonder if she'd like to place a bet on her chances of recovery?

Offer to bet her $1,000 she lives.

13. Rectocranial inversion is debilitating? Who knew?

20. ROFL

:rofl:

[CLANG]

15. Don't wish her harm, but am happy she's off the radio

She is a hateful propagandizing shitbag.

[Ian David]

16. I hope she makes a full recovery, but is bankrupted by medical costs. n/t

[CLANG]

19. Hopefully she lied about a pre-existing condition

and they will throw her off the insurance rolls. Maybe she has an anal cyst like her hero Lush.

21. "For a while"...she WILL be back if she wants to.

And given the continued conservative dominance of talk radio, it'll be a long time before fairness returns. So although I'm glad that one less hateful voice will pollute the airwaves, I choose not to wish death upon Morgan. Because...people can change, right?

[comrade snarky]

22. Wait... She had a job in radio

At a station where her husband isn't the General Manager?

How the hell did that happen?

[Skittles]

23. gives her more time to fuck herself
