Obama Partied in Hollywood mailer!! My response:
I received not one, but TWO mailers from the RNC today, tipping me off to the "fact" that Obama "partied with Hollywood elite " with Wall Street in crisis!!!

I neatly cut both of these items up, making sure to keep the return address intact. I then ran off the copy of what I call the "Let Them Eat Cake" photo of McSame and W, (thanks DUers for your help in sending me that). Then I hand wrote the following:

"OH, REALLY? Partied like this fellow, his pal W., having cake and "palling around, while New Orleans and the Gulf Region drowned?
If these, your pathetic mailers (and robocalls) are all you have, your are absolutely sending the message 'out of ideas'.

"Hate-mongering, xenophobia, divise language, tolerance of violent speech at your campaign events, really, you should be ashamed.

"I am mailing back your toxic spew-we can't recycle toxic things in my county until the spring~ and this stuff isn't sitting aroung my house until then.

"Oh, and enjoy the 'Let Them Eat Cake Photo'."

Obama's actions during the Wall Street crisis didn't kill anyone.

5. I like the way you think!
BUT - if you ever get any more of those mailers, the Obama Campaign wants you to report them. I got this email from the Obama Campaign last saturday:

"Voters in key battleground states are receiving automated phone calls from John McCain's campaign that are spreading some of the most vile smears of this election.

But these "robocalls" -- and the hate-filled mailers that usually accompany them -- say more about John McCain than they do about Barack.

After all, McCain himself denounced these underhanded and cowardly tactics as "hate calls" after a rash of them sunk his primary campaign in 2000. The perpetrator behind that slimy attack: George W. Bush. Now, not only has John McCain embraced these sleazy tactics, he's hired the same firm that Bush used against him to orchestrate them.

Your voice is the most powerful tool to help fight back against this tide of lies and spread the truth.

If you or your family and friends have received one of these sleazy calls or mailings, help us keep track of them by reporting it.

It's clear John McCain would rather lose his honor than lose this election.

While there's nothing new about these scare tactics, McCain has signaled he'll stoop to any level to win.

There's too much at stake to let the politics of the past derail this campaign. And with just 17 days to go before Election Day, the need to take a stand couldn't be greater.

Reports from folks like you are the only way the full extent of these hateful calls and mailers will ever be known by voters across the country.

Expose John McCain's slimy tactics -- forward this email to everyone you know and make sure McCain's "hate call" tactics get reported:

Together, we'll turn the page on McCain's low road tactics.


Keep fighting the good fight,

Obama Action Wire"

10. Yes, thanks to the above poster
I did email the information, along with the fact that I received two robocalls. I know now you are to send the mailers, so if anyone else here in my little town gets one, I will send it along. But I did alert the website you mention.
