President Barack Obama Targeted By Anonymous Hate Text Messages
Posted: 10/30/2012 9:57 pm EDT Updated: 10/30/2012 10:03 pm EDT
WASHINGTON -- A sting of vitriol-laden text messages hit voters' phones Tuesday night, blasting President Barack Obama with anti-gay attacks and false claims.
In what appeared to be a coordinated campaign of cell phone text mail or text messages, one Virginia voter received one from the address [email protected] that made the inflammatory claim: "Obama supports homosexuality and its radical social agenda. Say No to Obama on Nov 6!"
MIke Madden tweeted one for [email protected] that declared "Re-electing Obama puts Medicare at risk."
Attorney Pater Saharko tweeted that he got a message from the same address that read: "Obama is using your tax dollars to fund Planned Parenthood and abortion. Is that right?"

(18,624 posts)Then they're too stupid to find their way to the polls next Tuesday anyway.
I'd think most people would be more upset with the unwanted spam than the content, and that includes those on the right.
