An example of the brain-dead

Here is a forwarded chain email I received from a right wing "friend".
To think that there are people who still think this way, after all the information that has come forth since the invasion, is truly remarkable.

Hold your nose:

Two US Marines are listening to the radio in Iraq.

"American soldiers," coos a soft female voice, "Your so-called national
Leaders have lied to you. You are needlessly risking your lives to wage a
useless, unjust, illegal, and unwinnable war. Now is the time to return
home to your loved ones, while you are still alive. If you foolishly
insist on remaining where you are not wanted, the brave resistance fighters will
have no choice but to kill you and add your name to the long ever-increasing
casualty list of this insane war.

So why risk never seeing your loved ones again for a so-called
president who has repeatedly lied and deceived you at every opportunity?
Why should you be sacrificed so that US corporations can enjoy fatter
profits? The only wise thing to do is return home now, while you are still drawing a
breath, before you return zippered into a body bag."

"What's this?" sneers one Marine. "An Islamo-terrorist version of Tokyo
Rose?"

"No," answers the other. "It's just CNN!"

1. Oh yes. the so called liberal media bias. The only one who claims that

right is the Nation magazine. They advertise it.
No, if they don't do the Fox news Bushbot cheer the wingers think they are bias. boo hoo.

2. This is listed in Snopes as a joke, not a true story.

3. I'm so happy I'm not that fucking stupid.

You should ask your right-winger "friend" when he plans on joining up.

6. It has just been pointed out to me...

...that, "right wingers have a sick need to be the victim".

How true in this case also.

7. Seems that the fearful ones forget that radio shows such as Tokyo Rose

were listened to by american service men who enjoyed the music they played and found the people like Tokyo Rose a great source of amusement. It was also tried in Korea and Viet Nam with about the same effect. The only ones that seemed to be bothered by it were the chicken hawks who never even heard the radio shows.
