Email I got this morning about the infamous PBS poll...LMAO
Edited on Sun Oct-26-08 12:15 PM by mscuedawg
Told the senders that I wouldnt be able to help them....maybe DU can! HA HAHA!!!

Keep this moving quickly...

PBS has an online poll posted, asking

if Sarah Palin is qualified.

Apparently the left wing knew about this in

advance and are flooding the voting with

NO votes.

The poll will be reported on PBS and picked up

by mainstream media. It can influence

undecided voters in swing states.

Please do two things -- takes 20 seconds.

1) Click on link and vote YES!

Here's the link:

http://www.pbs.org/now/polls/poll-435.html

2) Then send this to every McCain-Palin supporter
you know, and urge them to vote and pass

it on. The last thing we need is PBS saying their viewers don't think Sarah Palin is qualified .

Edited to (I guess) add :sarcasm:...I mostly posted this to show the RW email ring it was circulating in....thanks for the "debunking" messages...

GOBAMA!

2. What's the deal with this poll?
Why is everyone talking about it? What makes it different from the myriad other polls out there? I really don't know. Please explain. And please spare me the side of snark.

Thank you.

5. It's been debunked numerous times
and PBS has shut it down already but early on some folks picked up a direct link to the poll and have been passing it around.
If you get an email about it, ignore it.

(and no snark here but I didn't appreciate that comment about snark)

12. No problem at all. I understood your OP just fine.... all's well.
I find it incredible that this is still being circulated.

I bet PBS had no idea it created a little monster. :evilgrin:

7. Its been out there for I think over a month, can vote multiple times, but
the numbers rarely change. People continue to post it over and over with the request to please vote. It indicates nothing, but for some reason is a popular way to "show your support" without actually having to do much of anything. So it has become a bit of a joke.

In a nutshell.

8. since the liberalest media forum of all, PBS made it, (and they don't like the results)
RWers are trying to make corruption out of it and discredit it. From the very beginning, there were loud complaints from the other side that the poll was "fixed" because apparently people who watch PBS know better than to think Palin is qualified. In large, large numbers.

Of course this is outrageous. PBS cheated! WWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!

and it doesn't stop. Because they have nothing else.

10. about every day someone brings it to DU in a panic asking for votes
Edited on Sun Oct-26-08 12:15 PM by kansasblue
and it's been going on for about four weeks.

For a while it didn't work, never changed,

It's just a very funny joke on DU now. In a couple of days you'll see it again, and again.....

enjoy!

13. Do a reply all with the following message
Warning to all:

THIS IS NOT A PBS POLL!

It is a virus site that will download a very dangerous worm onto your computer which will steal all your bank account information and clean you out within days!

Sit back and watch the action!
