So My FREEPER Sister In Law Sends Me This MINDLESS Freeper Email -->

[Dr. Jones]

She and her husband are one of the last remaining vestiges of Bush worship. I swear they'll support Bush to the bitter end, even through his impeachment. And if Bush decided to institute child sacrifice, they'd be the first to shove their children to the front of the line. Adoration and worship of Bush doesn't even BEGIN to describe how these people feel about the man.

Oh, the idiocy! How does one respond to such mindlessness?

If you believe the mainstream liberal media's reporting on the American military effort in Iraq, you're almost forced to be ashamed of our troops!

The liberal media want you to believe that U.S. troops in Iraq are guilty of widespread torture ... oppressing civilians ... murdering U.S. journalists ... opposing the war effort ...

And losing the war.

That's the media's latest refrain, and they're singing their defeatist song in harmony day and night, on the TV news and in every major liberal newspaper -- the U.S. can't win!

Well, I'm not ashamed of our troops, and I do believe the U.S. can win this war.

After a military career that began in World War II and included combat roles in both the European and Pacific theaters of that conflict, as well as in Korea and Vietnam, I think I know a little bit more about our military situation than some anonymous editorial writer at the New York Times or some hair-sprayed TV "commentator."

And I can tell you this -

Our troops in Iraq are winning the war.

And despite being immersed in a lethally hostile environment, they're upholding the highest standards of decency and civilization in their selfless mission to liberate the Iraqi people from tyranny and confront the America-hating terrorist fanatics on their own ground.

These courageous men and women need to know that somebody back home is working to restore some appearance of fairness and balance to the media's coverage of the sacrifices they're making for us.

Do you agree with me?

If so, go to our Media Research Center web site at http://www.crosswalkmail.com/uqappggp_lozgwgs.html and add your name to the "Message of Support to Our Troops" that you'll find there.
If you, too, see through these liberal media lies about our troops, help me tell our brave men and women on the front lines:

We support you here on the home front.

We're exposing and challenging the liberal media's lies about you.

That's the message you'll be sending when you go to http://www.crosswalkmail.com/tuxlljjv_lozgwgs.html and add your name to the "Message of Support to Our Troops" that you'll find there.

Because when you sign up, I'm going to send a special "dog tag" to one of our brave men or women in uniform on the front line, in your name, personally.

The dog tag bears the message, "Don't Believe the Liberal Media -- America Supports Our Troops!"

And it promises your prayers until that soldier comes home safe and sound.

And your name will be inscribed on the dog tag.

And I'll also send you a "dog tag."

I hope you'll put your dog tag on your key chain as a daily reminder of the sacrifices our troops are making by putting themselves in harm's way in support of freedom and in defense of our nation's security.

It will also be a visible badge of your participation in this grassroots activist campaign ...

.. and it will remind you every day to pray for them and their safe return home.

Please, go to our Media Research Center web site at http://www.crosswalkmail.com/hewkkddb_lozgwgs.html and add your name to the "Message of Support to Our Troops" that you'll find there.

The liberal-dominated "Big Media" -- the network news operations at ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN; and "establishment" papers like the New York Times -- are ceaselessly pounding the same handful of ugly, negative themes:

* We're losing the war...
* Troops are near mutiny, they're so opposed to the war effort...
* And if they're not opposing the war effort, these soldiers are routinely torturing prisoners and oppressing civilians...
* They're even deliberately murdering U.S. journalists.

Every one of these wild accusations is false.

I need you to join me in demanding that the media tell the truth about our troops in Iraq and help me get a signed tag to every single one of the 150,000 men and women in uniform over there.

We've already sent, or have in the pipeline, over 26,000 signed "dog tags" to troops in Iraq and Afghanistan.

But that means there's more than 100,000 of our troops still over there who haven't personally received our message -- "Don't Believe the Liberal Media -- America Supports Out Troops!"

So please do two things for me today:

1. Forward this e-mail now to friends, relatives and colleagues in your email address book who share your outrage over the liberal media's lies about our troops. Hopefully, many of them will forward this email also, and your activism in support of our troops will be multiplied many, many times over!

2. Go to our web site at http://www.crosswalkmail.com/hewkkdda_lozgwgs.html and add your name to the "Message of Support to Our Troops" that you'll find there, so I can hopefully include the dog tag with your name inscribed on it in the next shipment to the front lines.

And I'll get your own dog tag out in the mail to you as soon as I can, so you'll have your reminder to pray for our troops daily.

Our troops need to know that the vast majority of Americans see through the media's shameful lies about them.

Send them that message today!

TOGETHER, with a BIG GRASSROOTS RESPONSE, we CAN expose the liberal media's lies AND send a massive, warm, personal message of support to every one of our troops in Iraq and Afghanistan.

With urgent thanks,

Major General John K. Singlaub (U.S.A. Ret.)
On behalf of the Media Research Center's "Fight Media Bias!" campaign

P.S. I urgently need you to take two actions NOW -

1. Go to http://www.crosswalkmail.com/ovuooxxm_lozgwgs.html and add your name to the "Message of Support to Our Troops" that you'll find there so we can get your dog tags out as soon as possible.

2. Forward this e-mail to friends, relatives and colleagues in your email address book. If they join you in sending the "Message of Support to Our Troops," and in forwarding this e-mail on to their own circle of friends and relatives, our grassroots campaign will spread across the country like wildfire!

1. Ask Her When She's Going.

Since it so great over there and all.

Jay

[NewJeffCT]

6. check her local travel agency

maybe she can make a pit stop on her way over to visit our allies in Saudi Arabia, too!

[Roland99]

2. MRC? Isn't that Brent Bozell's organization?

[NewJeffCT]

3. Check who funds the MRC!

A few years back, I found out that the MRC was funded by Scaife & other foundations that are very extreme RWers.

[ComerPerro]

4. I just wonder who is funding this guy

[Cassandra]

5. Even Hitler still has die-hard supporters...

why shouldn't Bush?

[DemonFighterLives]

7. They just pound that "liberal media" shit into their stupid heads

A normal person would be tired of the repeat, repeat.
By their Dog Tags, they shall be known - pray for brains!

When the good Lord was passing out brains, they thought he said trains and they jumped on -- Oldy but a Goldy. :rofl:

[Dr. Jones]

8. Good one!

:rofl:

Has anyone heard of this email before? Or this Singlaub character? I found the whole thing rather suspicious, but Snopes didn't have anything on it.

Personally, after reading that email I wanted to grab a trash can and
:puke:

[DemonFighterLives]

I didn't hear this one before, but I have a cousin who sends me

stuff like this. It is always about pledge of allegiance or troops and all the good we are supposedly doing in Iraq.
I think they are going off the deep end. My cousin is hoping to graduate to speaking in tongues. :silly:

[LibertyLover]

15. Singlaub

is real - and a real, um, let's just say "character". Up to his neck in right-wing garbage. Carter fired him in 1976 when Singlaub protested Carter's policy in Korea. In 1979 Carter retired Singlaub for openly defying him on troop reductions in Korea. Next Singlaub got involved with the Contras as the Reagan administration's chief liaison. This "letter" is correct abaout his service record. In WWII he parachuted into occupied France and led a mission to Hainan Island in the Pacific theater that rescued 400 allied pows from a Japanese pow camp. He apparently did serve in Korea and in Vietnam he was involved with Air America. There have been a number of allegations of arranging for assassinations and involvement with drug traffickers too. Just an all-around nice guy. :sarcasm:

[sinkingfeeling]

9. I support the individual military people, but I will never support the

US military. Wonder if this person has any understanding of what American troops did in Nam? What all troops are forced to do in war....make the people living their less than human.

[earth mom]

10. Isn't No Child Left Behind a form of child sacrifice?

:sarcasm:

I'm sorry you have to deal with freepers in the family, I think it would drive me round the bend.

Good luck! :hi:

[BlueJazz]

11. With all due respect for your Sister-in-law, the Email .......

...reads like it was written for a 12 year old.
or extremely gullible, retarded individuals.

[Ilsa]

12. Subjective blatherings are all they have left.

"They're hurting our troops" and "accusing the troops" and "evil liberal media" are the only arguments they have left because they are so subjective. When confronted with facts, they counter with "those are lies" even though their sources are wrong.

[deutsey]

13. You might want to inform her that the "liberal media" are owned by

five enormous corporate conglomerates who benefit tremendously from GOP deregulation.

[Lars39]

14. Ask her how many care packages she has sent to soldiers.

There *are* very basic tangibles that the soldiers need, and that she can start buying for them.

[thecrow]

16. Crosswalk.com is a major fundy site

And HOME PAGE of thousands of "Christians".
I don't remember it being so political, but ...
in this day and age I don't think anything is apolitical.

[samplegirl]

17. Tell her that

must be the reason FOX news is dodging all this.

[mwb970]

18. Here's the part I liked.

Our troops in Iraq are winning the war.

And despite being immersed in a lethally hostile environment, they're upholding the highest standards of decency and civilization in their selfless mission to liberate the Iraqi people from tyranny and confront the America-hating terrorist fanatics on their own ground.

Setting aside the level of "decency" and "civilization" involved in blowing up innocent civilians, I am curious what the writer means about "winning the war". What are the signs that this is happening?

The irony meter pegged on the part about the "selfless mission", since the actual "mission" was to (selfishly) protect America from a supposedly possible attack by Saddam. The "liberation" of the Iraqi people was never given as a reason for Bush's War until long after the invasion, and before the war there were no "America-hating terrorist fanatics" in Iraq.

[Ravenseye]

19. Me too

I also like that she says the troops in Iraq are winning the war, and immediately follows it saying "despite being immersed in a lethally hostile environment"...

Um. Excuse me? If our troops are winning the war, shouldn't the environment not be 'lethally hostile'?

Once again these people miss the whole point. We have nothing but love for the troops. They shouldn't be there at all. We're not fighitng a war anymore. We won the war in a matter of days. We are occupiers now, and we won't win or lose an occupation based on anything a soldier, or squad of soldiers do. Therefore they're risking their lives in a "lethally hostile environment" for no purpose. How is that supporting the troops?
