Hold on just one damn minute...

Right. I blame the reader. That's what makes it interesting.

Uh, it clearly bends facts to make them seem more similar than they are. I don't think the reader necessarily thinks "All these true things about Obama,' but rather they think "Another one of these damn Obama email forwards."

I move that everyone who generates or forwards a stupid anti-Obama e-mail be excluded from any tax breaks or healthcare benefits Obama generates.

[Spawn's dad]

uh. yep. exactly. and it has nothing to do with Obama.

This thread has jumped the shark.

The following is an email that's circulating.....fear-mongering at it's worst, but interesting nonetheless:

 

As others have pointed out, it's silly to get indignant over the content of that ridiclous spam-like post. So instead, let me ask you this. If you admit it's fear-mongering at it's worst, what do you think is "interesting nonetheless" about it? What is so interesting about completely distorting facts to present a deliberately misleading story?

uh. yep. exactly. and it has nothing to do with Obama.

Oh man, I'm so not buying this bit.

Hello,

 

It has come to my attention that a few people posting in this thread are stupid.

 

Sincerely,

Ha.

 

 

This thread is SO predictable. You all kill me.

 

It's time to kill this thing and move a presidential transition thread.

 

Not a terribly accurate rendering of the history of Germany between the wars. For instance, anti-Semitism was always part of the Nazi party platform. Either way, Obama is not Hitler. No moustache.

 

Quick little story. My kids hate my facial hair. The other day my son was talking to me about at least shaving away all the grey hair. He then proceeded to trace out on my face what needs to go. He got the upper lip and pretty much said the ends needed to go but the middle could stay. I asked him if he knew why that was not going to be a good look for me when the lightbulb went off in his mind.

 

 

Right. I blame the reader. That's what makes it interesting.

 

I blame the writer for using historicly inaccurate information on both men while trying to link a good decent man (John McCains words) with a monster. Especially since a person with even a modicrum of curiosity would eiither know the facts or take a few seconds to fact check that thing.

GON needs to close this one. We can start a new transition thread!
