So I'm not exactly sure how offended I should I be..

[RevolutionaryActs]

There's lady mom knows from her work. She's a nice lady, and she's republican. That's fine, whatever. She's also one of those people who always sends those chain emails and stuff, and since my mom doesn't have an email addy, she uses mine. That's fine too.

But this, is a little much....

An email she forwarded us (I guess I should make note my mom is a flaming liberal.):

Today is International Disadvantaged People's Day. Please send an encouraging message to a retarded friend, just as I've done. I don't care if you lick windows, interfere with farm animals, vote democratic or occasionally poop yourself.......You hang in there, sunshine. You're freaking special...


So yeah... :shrug:

1. "I'm sorry, but there's no way that I can forward that message to my mother."

End of message.

[RevolutionaryActs]

2. LOL!

Not a bad idea. Although I'm sure it's not as mean as it seems, because I don't think the lady knows my mom is liberal. But still, it's an offensive email I think.

[philosophie_en_rose]

14. The message is appropriately ambiguous.

There are so many things wrong with that email. There's no way that I would send that message to my own mother. (the "retarded" and "you're special" parts would especially offend her, regardless of the political message).

[LeftyMom]

3. I'd say this:

Dear X,
It would appear that somebody has hijacked your email account and sent an extremely inappropriate message. I'll spare you the contents of the message, as it was much too vile for polite society. If you haven't already, you should contact your ISP immediately.

Let me know if I can be of any assistance in getting this mess straightened out,
(your name)

9. I love it.

:rofl:

[yellowdogmi]

19. on edit

I already took the liberty of notifying your ISP Provider to help you resolve this problem.

Scare her a little.
:evilgrin:

4. typical of a republican

make fun of mentally challenged people :eyes:

[RevolutionaryActs]

7. I know, isn't it sweet?

Makes you feel all warm and fuzzy.... :puke:

[petronius]

5. Does she talk politics with your mom? This could just be an attempt

at friendly banter (although not particularly sensitive to the mentally challenged). If she's really "a nice lady" then she's probably just trying to be funny...

[RevolutionaryActs]

8. No, I don't think she knows my mom is liberal.

I just found the whole email tasteless.

[petronius]

12. If that's so, she's probably one of those Rs with no taste or manners

who just assumes that the whole world agrees with her. I second LM's suggestion upthread, in that case...

[graywarrior]

6. Those nice lady republicans are secret assholes.

I know their game. She needs a good spanking.

[tinfoil tiaras]

10. agreed. im around alot of them everyday

beneath that nice, southern belle facade, is a scary freeper lady monster, saner than mAnn Coulter but crazier than...*tries to think of a sensible republican lady*

[RevolutionaryActs]

11. One thing she does have going for her, she has cute dogs.

:P

[graywarrior]

13. It's a cover.

Having cute dogs. What a phoney. Make her pay.

[RevolutionaryActs]

15. Any ideas?

:shrug:

[Ptah]

16. I think you are mistaken.

She's not a "nice lady".

She's not nice.

She's no lady.

[RevolutionaryActs]

17. Ok, she *seemed* like a nice lady.

[Midlodemocrat]

26. Word. She's an asshole.

[graywarrior]

18. I used to get Clinton bashing emails from some friends of mine

One day, after the millionth email, I emailed back stating my position about Clinton, that I supported him, liked him, did not want him to resign over a stain and that their emails were stupid and juvenile. I stated very clearly that I was a bleeding heart liberal and if they didn't get that from being around me, then they were too dense to be friends with me anymore.

They ceased their emails but one of them kept talking about how great Rush was. I dropped them...haven't seen them since 2000.

[William Bloode]

20. I woulda took it as a joke.

I woulda wrote her back and thanked her for the fine laugh, tell her it made her day. That does two things #1 if it was serious, you don't feed the fire, it strios her of the power she wanted to have. #2 it may have been in good humor, bad taste maybe but done with no ill will. This leaves you covered there as well.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

21. My dear Rev_Acts!

I'd be very offended!

Words fail me..........really......

I mean, she's implying that you're the retarded one....:puke:

The whole thing is just unacceptable to me.....

I'd let her know, nicely, of course!

:hug:

[davidinalameda]

22. I'd forward it

with the subject line-I can't freaking believe this crap!!!!

[PVnRT]

23. Given the names thrown around here describing Republicans

to be offended would seem to me to be a little hypocritical.

[bertha katzenengel]

24. How to respond? NO HOLDS BARRED.

"I am so & so's child. First, no, I will not see to it that my mom receives this. Second, etc. etc. etc." Whatever you want to say.

If it were me, I wouldn't even address the "vote democratic" day. My focus would be on "retarded friend."

What an asshole.

[begin_within]

25. Send her these....

[Gormy Cuss]

27. Print it out, give it to your mother, and

Encourage your mother to open up her own hotmail account and then block the woman's addy from your own email account.

My evil twin has other solutions, but the good twin says let your mother deal with it and remove yourself from the loop.

That email is so vile I can't imagine anyone sending it along as humor. If one of my coworkers had sent that to me I'd start calling him or her 'Sunshine.'

[LaraMN]

28. Without being too harsh, I'd have to say that

she is a shit-for-brains, mouth-breathing waste of carbon and oxygen. I think retardation is her own affliction, though most of the mentally disabled people I've encountered have a sense of personal integrity that dwarfs hers infinitely.
