Just messing with them
I have a very good Republican friend (yes, her good qualities outweigh that!) who still sends me crap, like the latest one on how Obama wants to change the national anthem, and he and Michelle have been to flag burning ceremonies, and yada yada yada.

So I sent this response back:
"Are you kidding me? You actually BELIEVE this shit?! All you have to do
is go to Snopes:
http://www.snopes.com/politics/obama/stance.asp
And it's completely debunked as lies. Try it.
Desperate people throwing crap against the wall, hoping something will stick."

Then, because this email had already circulated thru about 50 other people whose email addresses were on it, I just copied this response back to all of them. I'm sure it will be immediately dismissed by most, but if even one goes and actually checks it out, it's worth the little bit of time.

3. why, I wonder..
Why do the people forwarding all the conspiracy bullshit think the newspeople, ALL OF THEM, are just ignoring these terrible terrible things? :eyes:

I've gotten this crap from an old jr highschool friend. I'd like to just block her email forever but she was my best friend, like 25 years ago.
