National and Political Views
Move America Forward has referred to those politicians who wish to pull all troops out of Iraq as "cheese-eating surrender monkey." The organization later stated that the term was also intended as an insult to France.
Move America Forward's leader Melanie Morgan and her supporters regularly characterize those who challenge them or oppose the war as "communists" or "far-left." She also routinely invokes free speech and free press — despite Move America Forward's stated aim of "restrict liberal and activist media". After having appeared once, Producers for PBS's The NewsHour with Jim Lehrer claimed she would never be on the program again.
