1. From someone you know? nt

[NMDemDist2]

3. yeah, I replied telling her I was an active Democrat

we've never talked politics

[rinsd]

2. This is the dumbest issue since freedom fries.

[NMDemDist2]

4. I dunno......

I was kind surprised at it.....

went straight to Snopes figuring it to be a photoshop hit piece

[snowbear]

5. That link is NOT worth pulling up.. tries to plant spyware, etc...

What a POS website.. Definitely not worth the effort if you don't have a great spam zapper.

[NMDemDist2]

6. is there a better 'urban myth buster' website? thanks in advance! n/t

[snowbear]

8. Dunno AZ... maybe it's just my new spamware?

I kept getting warnings that it the site was trying to plant spyware - then I got two different messages that said-

"Spybot S&D's IE helper has detected an URL that is known as a malicious resource"

O'well.. it took a few seconds longer to open it.. but I eventually got in.

I'll try pulling them up from their main page in a little while and see if I get in without all the hoopla.

11. I get popups off Snopes.com but never had em show as malicious

hmmmmmmm

7. I heard he won't wear an American flag lapel pin either.

:wow:

[snowbear]

9. GMAFB

And you're telling us you don't know the story behind that?????

What's with the dropped jaws?

[bbinacan]

12. I think the dropped jaws

is a joke. AS IN :sarcasm:

[NMMNG]

14. Yes, I know the story behind it

And I heartily approve. Most times flag lapel pins are merely for faux patriotism.

The jawdrop was facetious.

10. I think the Obama campaign wants people to send it to them.

I don't know if they just want to reply all on the debunking or if they are also trying to determine the sources of the smear.

"When the campaign receives a copy of the chain email from a supporter who received it, they will attempt to send the letter to each previous recipient of the email whom they can track down.

The Obama campaign appears to be leaving no stone unturned when it comes to setting the record straight about their candidate's patriotism. Although email chains are notoriously difficult to break, the letter may go a long way towards mitigating its impacts."

13. hmmm, too bad the pic is out there, their 'response' seemed kinda lame

I understand their response and I'll send it back as a 'reply to all' but that picture will freak out a lot of the folks around here unfortunately

[Beacool]

15. Nothing new, that picture has been around for a while.

I saw it in several conservative sites. The Freepers bring it up all the time as their so called proof of Obama's "lack of patriotism". :eyes:
