I think they are going to throw this at the debates; after all, my brother rarely sends anything that isn't forwarded.
He started emailing to Undisclosed Recipients after I debunked one of his emails during the Kerry campaign.

This blog has it all.... Marxism, Hillary, Barack, unions, and even Lucifer.

1. Jesus was a community organizer, Pontius Pilate was a governor

I have relatives like yours too. It's futile to argue with them in my experience.

2. There's only one way to deal with this kind of nonsense

You write back to your brother and tell him, "Some asshole obviously hacked into your email account and is sending out garbage using your name. It's really stupid and offensive and, worst of all, wrong. I hope you catch the son-of-a-bitch."

Never fails.

3. I was looking to see what you all thought of the article

Though funny, I can't very well send my brother the stolen email thingie, and it would be nice to
hear some feedback on the actual article.

8. I started reading it,

and it was so packed with erroneous assumptions and snarky language, it bored me.

Sorry, but crap like that just needs to be ignored and deleted. Addressing it only gives it legitimacy to which it is not entitled.

5. oh, I am bookmarking this response and will use it in the future

Brilliant!! thank you

11. I've been using it for years,

and so has everyone I've sent it to. It never fails, honestly.

You are SO welcome! Pass it on.

4. From the spectator? Anyway...

it's trying to connect Obama with ACORN as a negative which it is to the rightwing and trying to make people believe that community organizing is all Obama did, making people forget or not absorb the other jobs like State Senate for 8 years, college Constitutional Law professor, US Senate...I didn't finish reading it, but I'm surprised they didn't add the talking point they've also been using that he has been running for President since becoming a US Senator, which is wrong...he was drafted into running for President while on the road helping other candidates all over the country...

6. I have recently blocked e-mails from my Repub SIL.

All this crap boils down to: what kind of society do we wish to have? Do we want the rich growing
richer, the poor getting poorer? Obviously, your brother and my SIL are not concerned with the
escalation of class warfare in the U.S.

Do we want a government that serves the powerful few? Or a government that serves the country as a whole? What is the purpose of government? Is it to be used to make some people richer?
Is it to be used to benefit everybody?

Only you can decide whether it's worth discussing politics with your brother; I've broken
off all contact with my SIL over this shit. Although it's been a long time coming (I've know her
40 some years)I'm fed up with her appalling indifference to facts and her participation in the
spread of outright lies and half truths about candidates with whom she disagrees.

I figure she's a lost cause and I'm no longer willing to have her bullshit enter my space.

Good luck!

7. Stay the course!!!

I guess every"thing we've had to deal with in the last 8 years is all worth it because Obama is really trying to destroy Western Civilization. That was the most incredible piece of nonsense I've ever read. I actually thought she was joking.

9. why does the opinion of a british journalist matter?

It's nice to hear from an uninvolved third party, even a hack from a rag like the Spectator but in all seriousness why on earth should this foreigner's opinion matter?

ask you brother to send you some substantial information provided by an American writer and I'd also ask him to explain why he's sending you foreign propaganda. If he's a real republican he'll understand.

10. What I can't figure out is this...

Since Senator Obama worked as a Community Organizer for group sponsored by the Catholic church.

"Catholics across the country continue to be outraged by Republican politician Sarah Palin who repeated her smear against Catholic Action by mocking Barack Obama’s service as director of a community group sponsored by the Catholic Campaign for Human Development (an arm of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops) and led by eight Catholic parishes on the South Side of Chicago."

http://catholicsforobama.blogspot.com/2008/09/catholics-outraged-by-palin-insults.html

Is Ms. Phillips accusing the entire Catholic church of being Communists/Socalists/(followers of Sol Alensky) or just the U. S. Conference of Catholic Bishops on down to Senator Obama?
