Reply #52: Kos poster claims spouse of Clinton Superdelegate sent this email: "Debunking" Barack Obama

[Emit]

This daily Kos poster would not say who sent this email, but only that it was a spouse of a powerful member of Congress/Clinton superdelegate who endorsed Clinton months ago:

Emails on Obama

I received this email today "without comment" from the spouse of a powerful member of Congress who endorsed Hillary months ago. The MSM needs to know that these smears aren't being sent out by ordinary supporters, but are part of a coordinated effort of Clinton's superdelegates.

UPDATE: some commenters were confused and thought I was saying that the forwarded email was written by a Clinton superdelegate. No! It was merely forwarded to my inbox by the spouse of a prominent Clinton superdelegate.

Entire email, unedited, below the fold. Can somebody get this to Keith Olberman?

Subject: "Debunking" Barack Obama

Friends,

In an election year, we need to be really careful about what we
send out and what we say about all candidates who might become
the next leader of the free world. But we also need to arm
ourselves with information.

I was very interested in the e-mail circulating quoting Newsweek
and Snopes about the "lies" being spread about Mr. Obama. I
investigated. Interestingly,the debunkers debunk all kinds of
things I never heard of, like Obama not saying the Pledge of
Allegiance, or using a Koran instead of a Bible in his swearing
in ceremony. I never even heard those, and I am glad to hear they
are lies.

But there are a number of other things circulating that haven't
yet been "debunked" and these are far more worrying because they
are true. Like the fact that Mr. Obama's church gave an award to
the notorious Anti-Semite Louis Farrakhan. As Richard Cohen wrote
in the Washington Post on January 15:" Barack Obama is a member
of Chicago's Trinity United Church of Christ. Its minister, and
Obama's spiritual adviser, is the Rev. Jeremiah A. Wright Jr. In
1982, the church launched Trumpet Newsmagazine; Wright's
daughters serve as publisher and executive editor. Every year,
the magazine makes awards in various categories. Last year, it
gave the Dr. Jeremiah A. Wright Jr. Trumpeter Award to a man it
said "truly epitomized greatness." That man was Louis Farrakhan."

Huh?! Say what? You mean the Farrakhan who said...
