I just got the Barack Obama email ...

[AirmensMom]

You know the one. Sent from someone I haven't been friends with for almost a year ... someone who doesn't have a clue which candidate I'm supporting. I told her never to send me such trash again. OK, now she'll REALLY not want to talk to me anymore. I should have at least told her to check her facts, but I blew my chance. Ah, well -- if she were interested in facts, she never would have sent it. :shrug:

What is wrong with people? :banghead:



And why do I feel so dirty now? :shrug:

1. the one about how Obama ate a baby while on a "fact-finding" trip to Neptune

i couldn't believe it either. how can i be expected to vote for a baby-eating Neptunian?

[AirmensMom]

2. Naw ...

the "Radical Muslim" one ... "The enemy within." :puke:


I'd have a hard time voting for a baby-eating Neptunian, too. :rofl: :hi:

5. I assume you sent the snopes site debunking all?

If not... there are so many follow the link-

7. Yeah, I did the second time ...

after she sent her "I won't bother you again" email. I answered with a link to snopes. :D

3. I heard Obama was going to be a 9/11 suicide terrorist, but lost the coin toss.

Also, he had his picture taken with Jane Fonda. Geez, how can anyone support a guy like that?
:sarcasm:

Put on your hip-waders, folks, this is only the beginning.

[AirmensMom]

10. I'm afraid you're right.

About it only being the beginning, that is. :scared:

[LSK]

4. if you got the email, it HAS to be true

Nobody ever lies in unsourced emails!!!

:crazy: :dunce:

[AirmensMom]

8. That's EXACTLY

what I thought! :rofl:


:hi:

[racaulk]

6. But the email says that the info came from a reputable source.

So you know you can believe it!

:rofl:

Some people are so gullible and will believe anything if it fits into their narrow worldview. I have a friend (a truly nice guy, even though he is a Republican) who sends me crap like this occasionally. I always hit "Reply All" with the Snopes link debunking it. Sooner or later, he will realize that I don't appreciate receiving that crap...and hopefully he will figure out what "Bcc:" means.

:evilgrin:

9. Here's what I don't get.

WHY do people think they have to send stuff like that around? They seem to be the same people who send those "Send this to at least 50 people within 5 minutes or you'll have terrible luck before the end of the day" emails. :shrug:

[racaulk]

11. Some people are just way too gullible.

Those people will believe almost anything at face value without giving it any critical thought whatsoever. I don't get it either. :shrug:
