Need help- being harrassed about Obama
Please- does anyone have the goods on a real right-wing whack-a-doodle, Jack Wheeler? He has a blog, To The Point News, and was a foreign policy advisor to Reagan. Evidently he is totally off the reservation of reality now, but I am being harrassed by an ex-friend with his racial religious anti-Obama garbage. Need some ammunition about this Wheeler. :argh:

1. If the schmuck is an ex-friend, why bother? You will not be able to reason with them
no matter what truth you have about the facts or the source for their shit.

The only argument effective against a rethug is one that removes them from the equation.

2. well let's see...
he thought saddam was dead in 2003: On Saddam Hussein: "'That someone, anyone, is alive and kicking should not be a hard thing to prove,' observed Dr. Wheeler. 'Produce the guy. All the Iraqis are giving us is the equivalent of Elvis sightings.'" --Jack Wheeler, March 31, 2003

http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=Jack_Wheeler

he's published at WorldNet Daily - where Jerome Corsi is featured.

3. Ignore him
Nothing you say will convince him, so why bother?

Besides, if you need help to defend your beliefs, you really need to arm yourself and fight your own fights - where they will matter. This guy's just busting your balls - ignore him.

4. Ignore your ex-friend.
Why bother getting into a battle with him? You're not friends with him anymore and if he's that far gone, doesn't sound as if anything you say will make a difference. Don't waste your time.

5. sounds like he's a
real piece of work-


here's one link I found;

http://www.vanityfair.com/online/wolcott/2006/04/flag_wavers_and.html

From what little else I read, he doesn't like Mccain either.

Sad, sick little man.

6. Send this back to your "friend"
"They" always go after the dems strong points.

In 2000 Gore strong points were his interest in the internet and the environment
so the right wing lies and says he claimed to invent the internet and was a tree-hugging
nut job

In 2004 Kerry who was awarded 3 purple hearts, a bronze star, and a silver star was
"swiftboated" as a coward in Vietnam. (bush stayed out of Vietnam and went AWOL)

In 2008 Obama is self made man of faith, family, and education so the right will go after
these good points by saying he was or is a muslim, a member of anti American radical
black churches, Michelle Obama doesn't love America, and that he is an empty suit.

In all cases the lies are easy to disprove but tell your "friend" only a fool debates an idiot
so you do not wish to hear from him anymore and block anymore e-mails.
