I just received a disturbing Obama "smearmail." Of course, it was not even close to being accurate (it referred to Obama as a black Muslim male between the ages of 17 and 40). I will post the actual email at the end in case anyone wants to read it.
Unfortunately, the email was not the most distubing thing. As a responsible Obama supporter, I immediately wanted to forward this garbage to the Obama campaign. I had heard about reporting smears but I was not sure how. I typed "stop Obama smears" into google expecting to get the information. All I got was several sites dedicated to "stopping Obama." The Obama website did not even come up. I could not believe how much hatred and lies about Obama are out there on the web.
I will now paste the email that I received. The email read:
I STRONGLY URGE each one of you to repost this as many times as you can!
Each opportunity that you have to send it to a friend or media outlet...do it!
A lot of Americans have become so insulated from reality that they imagine that America can suffer defeat without any inconvenience to themselves.
Pause a moment, reflect back.
These events are actual events from history.
They really happened!!!
Do you remember?

No, I really don't see a pattern here to justify profiling, do you? So, to ensure we Americans never offend anyone, particularly fanatics intent on killing us, airport security screeners will no longer be allowed to profile certain people...
Absolutely No Profiling!
They must conduct random searches of 80-year-old women, little kids, airline pilots with proper identification, secret agents who are members of the President's security detail, 85-year old Congressmen with metal hips, and Medal of Honor winner and former Governor Joe Foss,
but leave Muslim Males between the ages 17 and 40 alone lest they be guilty of profiling.
According to The Book of Revelations:
The Anti-Christ will be a man, in his 40s, of MUSLIM descent, who will deceive the nations with persuasive language, and have a MASSIVE Christ-like appeal....the prophecy says that people will flock to him and he will promise false hope and world peace, and when he is in power, he will destroy everything.
And Now:
For the award winning
Act of Stupidity
Of all times the People of America want to elect, to the most Powerful position on the face of the Planet --
The Presidency of the United states of America
A Muslim
Male
Extremist
Between
the ages
of 17 and 40.
Have the American People completely lost their Minds, or just their Power of Reason ???
I'm sorry but I refuse to take a chance on the 'unknown' candidate Obama...
Let's send this to as many people as we can so that the Gloria Aldreds and other stupid attorneys along with Federal Justices that want to thwart common sense, feel ashamed of themselves -- if they have any such sense.
As the writer of the award winning story 'Forrest Gump' so aptly put it,
'Stupid
Is
As
Stupid Does.'
I did respond to the sender with "How about that white Christian male between the age of 17 and 40 that blew up Oklahoma City? Or what about that other white Christian male between the age of 17 and 40 that mailed bombs to various locations—the unibomber? Or maybe that white Christian male that blew up the 1996 Olympics and several health clinics? How about the one that shot JFK , William McKinley, or Abraham Lincoln? We must not be stupid. We should never elect another white Christian male again!!!
