Got a new rw chain email.

[timber84]

Snopes does not have it as of yet. Anyone seen it? It's called Change Chicago style. Not gonna post it but if anyone has gotten it and can direct me to a great debunk please let me know.

1. Havent yet...but give it time and I'm sure I'll get it...

...the last one I got I just wrote the sender back and said, Please dont waste my time with these useless smear emails....

She actually APOLOGIZED!!!

2. The smear emails are starting to have the opposite of the desired effect

People know outright lies go around in email now and it's becoming detrimental to forward them on.

5. You hit it on the head....

I always reply all with my rebuttals to those smear emails...to debunk them...I got a response...and this just made my head spin...one person emails me back and says...

"I know that Obama is NOT the Anti-Christ, but I also know that he is not qualified to run MY country."

I was like....ooooh, who died and made YOU owner of the USA!!!! Assmunch... LMAO

3. Which one are you seeing?

I think it's un fun of you to post it.

Does this help, though:

ON MURDERS:

There were 468 murders in Arizona, where McCain is the Senator for MUCH longer than Obama and 752 in Illinois. But, there is twice as many people Illinois (pop. 12,852,548) than in Arizona (pop. 6,338,755). Based on REAL numbers, not garbage that people put on a blog, there is a 21% more murders in Arizona than Illinois.

Compare that further to the number of CIVILIANS that are dead in Iraq because of “Bush’s War” totaling 24,159 in 2007, not that those people matter in the pursuit of oil and profit.

ON EDUCATION:

As far as education, Arizona is not only one of the worst school systems, it is THE WORST (50 out of 50 states, in case you are from AZ and don’t know how many states there are). Illinois is not great, but it is 35 of out 50. Alaska is 46 out of 50, so way to go PALIN. And Delaware (Biden’s state) is 28 out of 50.

7. yeah that counters some of it.

do you have a link?

[achtung_circus]

9. Just a little Googling. nt

[laureloak]

4. Reply with Arizona statistics with McCain in Senate.

Google "change chicago style" and you'll find plenty of ammo in the replies.

8. i did that, could not find a really credible debunk

heck I googled every line of it and only got hits to rw sites touting it as the truth.

6. Making Obama responsible for everything that happened in Chicago

is something only right wingers do.

Maybe McGramps should be held responsible for Wash. D.C. instead. That's where he's been the last umpteen years, or so he claims.
