There's an email floating around the internets lately, giving dire warnings about Presidential candidate, Barack Obama. The letter alleges that either a) Barack Obama is a "Trojan horse" Muslim in Christian clothing, ready to usurp our "Christian Nation" to evil Muslim ends; or b) Barack Obama used to be a Muslim, and since he isn't anymore, all the Muslims from all the world will be ordered to kill him. The contradictory elements of the "warning" should be a tip-off to the hoaxy nature of the email.
Now that we're about 15 years into the Internet era, I didn't believe rational, intelligent Americans still believed any of these silly email chain letters. But this one is getting traction, and I just don't understand it. Doesn't anybody besides me check with Snopes.com?
If you got this letter and believed it, or if anyone you know has, send them the link to this page at Snopes.

If you do not ever forward anything else, please forward this to all your contacts. . .this is very scary to think of what lies ahead of us here in our own United States. . .better heed this and pray about it and share it.

AMEN! a friend sent this to me today and I just knew it was utter crap before I even had to go to Snopes, or do some digging!
ReplyDeleteShe got mad because I responded over her entire address book list w/ my point that I couldn't believe anyone would believe such political propaganda. Apparently it is STILL TRUE, people WILL believe just about anything!
hussein obama is a danger because he speaks without saying anything, if i was to compare him it would be to bush or carter, hope hope hope is what most of his speaches say, problem one,,,,bush spent all the money,,,secong, no way in hell the republicans will let him get away with what he has so far, they are hoping that he wins the nomination for one reason...Iraq...one thing I know about americans is they are not going to just leave iraq, while thousands have died there and the surge is working, its impossible for him to leave, the massacre that would inssue would be destructive to american pride in the world, and with iran just waiting and alqaida would say...see if you wait they will leave and we won....the american public will be reminded of this and destroy hussein obama...look what they did to kerry, no imagine what they will do to a coke siffing liberal to the left of kenedy...
ReplyDeleteAnyone who starts out of the gate saying "Hussein Obama," has an obvious agenda, one no different than the perpatrators of this hoax.
ReplyDeleteYour other "points" sound like a fever-dream-inspired hallucinatory rant. If Obama is the Democratic nominee, his "coke sniffing" will be of even less relevance than Bush's was. Go away now, and sleep it off, OK?
