The official response to all Rethug spam this election season

[malaise]

I hope you are delighted to spread that rubbish on behalf of 19% of the population - a group better known as the lunatic fringe. Keep watching the percentage - it's dropping daily - and it would be shameful if you have to turn off the lights.

1. How about this?

Send it back to the sender, with a note saying, "Some asshole is putting out this nonsense and signing your name to it. I hope you catch the idiotic son-of-a-bitch."

[malaise]

3. Send both

:D

5. You just penned my reply, thanks for the

:rofl:

[Kerrytravelers]

7. Bwaaahhhh... snort...

[blondeatlast]

15. Hope you don't me copying that to my notepad; it's likely to get a lot of use!

:thumbsup:

2. I have a better response.

Can you name three things that have been implemented by the Bush administration in the last 7.5 years that personally benefited you and your family?

Bribes in the form of tax rebates don't count. Neither does killing innocent people just in case someday one of them might turn into a terrorist.

[malaise]

6. That requires thinking

That's hard werk for the diminishing 19%. Just tell them 81% of the population think they are lunatics.

[Captain Angry]

10. Yep, but it will slow down the onslaught of email.

That 19% will have to sit there and spend a few hours trying to come up with a witty and more patriotic than thou reply. And they can't be forwarding baloney during that process.

:-)

13. After the first response

just send them :rofl: or :puke: smilies.

[Captain Angry]

14. You mean when they respond with ONE thing that is better?

I doubt we'll even see that one reason. No person that any of us know can afford to be in the bracket where Bush's policies have helped them.

4. How about this one?

"Piss Off, Spam Queen."

:nuke:

[malaise]

8. Not effective enough

Ridicule them - let them know 81% of people are laughing at them.

[DinahMoeHum]

9. Try this one, then.

"Don't you have better things to do, like, working for a living, rather than sitting in your mommy's basement at your keyboard and stuffing yourself with Cheetos?"

[malaise]

12. That doesn't work

Let them know they're the laughing stock of the country and/or follow the suggestions raised by TooBigaTent

11. If it is in any way inappropriate, track it to its source and contact someone who

has the authority to discipline the senders.

Since many people send the crap from their work, you can bring their employer down on them.

I did that and somewhere in Oklahoma, a group of state and local employees have had to undergo "diversity training" and hopefully, embarassment.

It is useless to try and argue/debate facts with rethugs. The only effective response is to make them suffer consequences for their bad behavior.

Actions sometimes do have consequences, no matter what the Bushistas want to believe.
