Blast from the past from my religious nutjob sister in law

[KentuckyWoman]

I was cleaning out old emails today and found one of my fundie sister in law's FWD/FWD/FWD emails that Obama was going to outlaw Christianity and force everyone into Islamic interracial gay marriages. It was from early 2008... in the days Palin was sending out emails with targets over "terrorists" running for Congress (aka Democratic Party candidates)

So I bounced it back to her today and asked if the cops have barged into her house yet to burn her bibles and Kirk Cameron movie collection slapped a burqa on her, handed her state issued divorce papers from my brother and her new marriage license to a black lesbian.

About an hour later I got a call from my dear sweet brother laughing like a hyena. Said she was madder'n a wet hen.

GOOD. Her embarrassment and shame were well earned.

1. Isn't schadenfreude wonderful???

Good for you.

Maybe, just maybe, she'll learn something good from this.

2. Seems like it is a good thing...

...your brother has a sense of humor. He must need it. I could not be married to someone who would believe the crap in that email you unearthed.

[KentuckyWoman]

3. She wasn't fundie when they married

She keeps trying to drag him to her church and he just patiently rolls his eyes. So far she doesn't push too hard.

I honestly doubt she even read the whole email she forwarded. It was anti Obama so she blasted it to everyone like a dutiful little fundie. Partly I did it because she's started sending me the same sort of FWD/FWD/FWD crapola again and partly I did it just to get her goat up.

But yeah, he's got a good sense of humor.

5. Unfortunately, my brother DID get sucked in

18. You have my deepest sympathy.

[Arugula Latte]

28. We had a similar situation in my extended family.

They wound up getting divorced, thank goodness. We do NOT miss her at all.

4. "madder'n a wet hen"

Great description

6. Just adore that expression. It was part of my mis-spent youth! This look anything like her?

7. That's really adorable. I think your brother's a peach with a good sense of humor.

8. I LOVE IT! Thanks for sharing this. This kind of crud needs to be rehashed like this more often.

9. Damn, that was perfect

I'm going to have to start saving emails from my right wing family for a future email response.

10. LOL. Yup. Got a mother in law who is the same way.

She was sure Obama would make her wear a burqa. She still thinks it could happen.

[MADem]

13. Tell her she can make one out of a king sized sheet, push come to shove! nt

[Enthusiast]

19. She believes presidents have absolute power, even over the wardrobe.

Those people will believe anything!

[SunSeeker]

21. The irony is her party, the GOP, seeks to force women to give birth.

Hell, the GOP thinks women should be forced to give birth to their rapists' babies. Being forced to wear a burqa pales in comparison.

[Enthusiast]

24. That is the most egregious of all—the forced birth.

Simply incredible.

[KentuckyWoman]

22. Well I'm pretty sure

the fact undies tend to bunch up a lot on Republican butts is all Obama's fault.....

Would not bet my last penny but I'm thinking Fruit of the Looms didn't bunch up nearly as much under WhistleAss.

[Enthusiast]

23. It is all racially motivated that much is for certain.

[Dr. Xavier]

11. Wait, did I miss something...

next time tell her that under sharia law, married women can't use the interwebs.

[Spitfire of ATJ]

12. I love to troll a troll.

[mnhtnbb]

14. That's one of the funniest things I've read in a long time.

Good for you.

[Mira]

15. Enjoyed waking up to read this.

You have a special brother - and for him - this is not easy.

[DiverDave]

16. Careful, she might sue for emotional distress.

You know how con's hate lawyers

but I sure laughed

[sharp_stick]

17. Kirk Cameron movie collection

I like that line, nicely done.

[gratuitous]

20. Good job

This is something I've advised folks to do for a long time: When something particularly whackadoo comes down the pike, write it down, date it, have the person saying it initial it and give their estimate of when it's going to happen. Put it away, and then bring it out when they thought Obama was going to take away all guns, or dress everyone in burquas, or exile everyone to FEMA camps, or whatever nutty idea was occupying their mind.

This could also be a teachable moment, you know.

[treestar]

25. hahah good job!

of course she's madder than a wet hen! That sneaky Kenyan is preparing all that for her!

[Omaha Steve]

26. Thanks for sharing

K&R!

27. Too Funny - Thank You For Sharing

eom

[immoderate]

29. What's most interesting is that people in denial NEVER concede.

I'd be interested to know if, in further interaction, she acknowledges her misinformation.
