Many of the emails that Bill sends me are over-the-top things that he gets from people he knows.  He sends them to me mainly to get my take on their contents. Below the Orange Cumulus is the latest one, and my response. rss@dailykos.com (Rashaverak) chainemail Fox News FoxNews Godwin HR 347 HR347 ObamaDerangementSyndrome PublicLaw112-98 Teabaggers _1087597 Mon, 30 Apr 2012 18:45:09 +0000 You *Can* Make This Shit Up https://www.dailykos.com/story/2010/11/19/921899/-You-Can-Make-This-Shit-Up You've undoubtedly seen them by now. You wake up, pour some coffee, open your email and discover that one of your conservative relatives or friends has gleefully forwarded you a rainbow-colored, indignant screed in ALL CAPS with unnecessary punctuation throughout!!!! Right-wing chain emails are a dime a dozen these days and most of them are so outrageously over-the-top that it's a small wonder anyone bothers to forward them, much less believe the claims. rss@dailykos.com (staticzero) chainemail Conservatives how-to _921899 Fri, 19 Nov 2010 22:54:01 +0000 I want to respond but.... https://www.dailykos.com/story/2010/9/17/902770/-I-want-to-respond-but I got to leave town and I just don't have the time to put together a well sourced email to respond to this Tea Bagger's email.  If you could help me "refudiate" this it would be much appreciated. rss@dailykos.com (in2mixin) chainemail tea bagger _902770 Fri, 17 Sep 2010 16:38:45 +0000 GOP Sexism https://www.dailykos.com/story/2010/5/19/867792/-GOP-Sexism As some of you know I used to belong, long, long ago before some of you were born even, to the GOP. I left the party for many different reasons I will not go into them all here. However I will mention one -- It was taken over by many homophobic sexist twits who would get a 'laugh' at this, in the email I was sent by an apolitical friend this morning. <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/29301096@N03/4620889781/" title="fromSusan by Doctorwhobfs, on Flickr"><img width="159" alt="fromSusan" src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4048/4620889781_0991c19fe0.jpg" height="500" /></a> . .

The email is designed to garner sympathy for Israel and while I personally have some (New York Jew here) I dont have unlimited sympathy. It starts off by trying to seem sympathetic to both admirers and detractors of Bibi <blockquote> Even those who aren't particularly sympathetic to Israel's Benjamin Netanyahu, could get a good measure of satisfaction from this interview with British Television during the retaliation against Hamas' shelling of Israel. </blockquote> And then it "quotes" from an interview between Netanyahu and a British reporter which is ranked <a href="http://www.snopes.com/politics/israel/netanyahu.asp">partially true by snopes.</a> the rest of the email is below ... rss@dailykos.com (stillman) BenjaminNetanyahu chainemail Debunking Netanyahu _740750 Wed, 10 Jun 2009 14:38:05 +0000 Republican Propaganda Mail https://www.dailykos.com/story/2008/10/16/632712/-Republican-Propaganda-Mail We have all seen it, the disgusting emails that have been circulated around by wingers to and from the GOP faithful.  Barack is The One, he is evil, he is a muslim he is a terrorist. rss@dailykos.com (axel000) chain mail chainemail chainmail Election email Lies Presidential Election PresidentialElection Propaganda _632712 Thu, 16 Oct 2008 19:19:39 +0000 I'm "concerned" about John McCain's money (chain email!) (by request) https://www.dailykos.com/story/2008/8/24/562286/-I-m-concerned-about-John-McCain-s-money-chain-email-by-request Here's a viral email about McCain - please email it on to independents / Republicans you know. (Even to Democrats.) Especially send it out to folks you know who seem to like forwarding chain emails...because we might as well get those folks to help us.  Unlike anti-Obama emails, this email contains the complete truth (where it says "THE TRUTH").  (Thanks to Jed for <a href="http://www.jedreport.com/2008/07/saturday-evenin.html">a few of these statements</a>.) (The email is intentionally phrased as if it is being nice to McCain, but it is really exposing how much money he has and how he wastes it.  You know, how he isn't in touch with anyone whose net worth is less than $100 million.) Here's a teaser (full email below the fold): <blockquote> I've been concerned that there are too many rumors going around about John McCain and I wanted to help set the facts straight. Please forward this email to everyone you know. THE LIE: John McCain gambles away hundreds of thousands of dollars at the craps tables in Las Vegas. THE TRUTH: While John McCain does frequently play craps in Las Vegas in continuous 14-hour sessions, it is unlikely that he has ever gambled away $100,000 in a single session. </blockquote> rss@dailykos.com (barath) 2008 2008 elections 2008elections chainemail Houses John McCain JohnMcCain Money President Republicans _562286 Sun, 24 Aug 2008 09:44:45 +0000 I'm concerned about John McCain's money (chain email!)

The Obama campaign is hitting back, but the truth is that they will never hit back as hard as McCain will attack them.  While McCain can through every slander and lie Obama's way with little recourse, if Obama was to attack him even half as fiercely, he'd face a media firestorm.   So I think we need to have Senator Obama's back, and I have a few ideas of how below the fold. rss@dailykos.com (smash artist) 2008 chainemail John McCain JohnMcCain Presidential Election PresidentialElection _557552 Sun, 27 Jul 2008 03:27:36 +0000 New Obama Photo Hoax https://www.dailykos.com/story/2008/3/31/487838/-New-Obama-Photo-Hoax There is a new email hoax being sent, at least here in Ohio, about Barack Obama.  It is just a single powerful picture with no text. rss@dailykos.com (Brian Francis) Barack Obama BarackObama chainemail Hoax hoaxemail viralemail _487838 Mon, 31 Mar 2008 22:34:14 +0000 The Great Loyalty Oath Crusade has begun. https://www.dailykos.com/story/2007/11/5/406708/-The-Great-Loyalty-Oath-Crusade-has-begun I clicked on my school email account this afternoon and found a lovely subject line that read "Fwd: Will you give this to Daddy?" Awwwwwwwwwwww!  The cute just spills out of the email so much that even the subject line can't contain it.  Unable to delete an email with such a compelling title, I clicked and read the sender's comment that the forward is "worth reading and supporting."  He really must believe it, because he forwarded the email to everybody in the entire system.
