my stupid BIL sent me a Obama muslim email. I sent him snopes link then I laid into him

[greenbriar]

He lives on SSDI

my sister just lost her job and is collecting unemployment


he said he was upset about Obama changing the flag on his airplane

I set him straight on that then I said



You know, that is all ticky tack crap and that I would be more concerned with his policies on say Disability insurance and unemployment.

I then laid out what would happen to them under a mcsame/phalin administration and how they thought they were suffering now verses what they might be suffering if the "mavericks" took over

I said a stupid emblem on a plane that does not mean a thing would be the least of their worries...



he said yea, I guess you might be right


JEBUS how can people be SO stupid

[Robeson]

1. Because they don't think. Bumper sticker slogans, and gotchaisms...

...are about as far as the repug brain can venture. Abstract thought is beyond their reach.

[Union Thug]

2. His response indicates that there is at least a modicum of intelligence...

You made an impression. Good on ya!

[Alhena]

3. Try converting your BIL to Islam instead (j/k)

4. I can beat that; I got the "Obama is the anti-Christ' email from a

Lesbian friend who HATES BushCo-but she is a devout Christian, so perhaps someone from her church sent it to her. I debunked it and hit "reply all" 9she had sent it to about 30 people). I haven't heard from her since, but I did get a thank you note from one of her friends. ;-)

5. I don't even bother anymore

at the end of the day they are still going to vote for who they want to vote for and I'm still going to vote for Obama. These are the same people who would gleefully vote for Bush again if they could. They are that clueless.

6. Good point. I think they would vote for bush again, too.
