This is my first diary here although I read the entries on this site daily and have for years. I had to respond when my dad showed me a copy of an e-mail that had been forwarded to him from a Republican supporter that contained many lies, and misinformation designed to whip up people into a frenzy about the direction the country is going. The title of the e-mail was "The Fundamental Transformation of America", after a little investigating I found the source to be Margie LaFitte from the web site ResistNet.com
The web site calls itself the "home of Patriotic resistance". Although I cannot think of any reason why anyone affiliated with this site would be considered a patriot. Here are some excerpts from the "Fundamental Transformation of America""
When Obama wrote a book and said he was mentored as a youth by Frank, (Frank Marshall Davis) an avowed Communist, people said it didn't matter.
When it was discovered that his grandparents, were strong socialist, sent Obama's mother to a socialist school, introduced Frank Marshall Davis to young Obama, People said it didn't matter.
When people found out that he was enrolled as a Muslim child in school and his father and step father were both Muslims, people said it didn't matter.
When he wrote in another book he authored ³I will stand with them (Muslims) should the political winds shift in an ugly direction.² people said it didn't matter.
When he admittedly, in his book, said he chose Marxist friends and professors in college, people said it didn't matter.
When he traveled to Pakistan , after college on an unknown national passport, people said it didn't matter.
When he sought the endorsement of the Marxist party in 1996 as he ran for the Illinois Senate, people said it doesn't matter.
When he sat in a Chicago Church for twenty years and listened to a preacher spew hatred for America and preach black liberation theology, people said it didn't matter.
When an independent Washington organization, that tracks senate voting records, gave him the distinctive title as the "most liberal senator", people said it didn't matter.
When the Palestinians in Gaza , set up a fund raising telethon to raise money for his election campaign, people said it didn't matter.
When his voting record supported gun control, people said it didn't matter.
When he refused to disclose who donated money to his election campaign, as other candidates had done, people said it didn't matter.
When he received endorsements from people like Louis Farrakhan and Mummar Kadaffi and Hugo Chavez, people said it didn't matter.
When it was pointed out that he was a total, newcomer and had absolutely no experience at anything except community organizing, people said it didn't matter.
This is only a small portion of the posting by Margie LaFitte entitled "The Fundamental Transformation of America" on the web site ResistNet.com, here is the link so those of you who wish can read this disturbing propaganda being peddled as truth to those gullible enough to believe it:

I really don't have any information about this group except what the web site lists but they appear to be somewhat organized and have contacts in every state that I searched for. Granted, there do not appear to be hordes of followers in every state but the fact that this type of crap is being sent out is disturbing enough. Read it and see if you are not amazed by the ferociousness of the attacks on Obama.
