I need help. How can I post photos from my mail box to here?
My crazy tea bagging aunt has sent me some of the most disgusting photos about Obama and Michelle. I have these in my mail box, am really wanting to delete them, but thought that some of you might want to see what's being passed around. How do I post them here? They are Obama and wife in a manure spreader.

2. Is it necessary for us to see what racist assholes are passing around?

4. I don't know. Was it necessary for Kerry to see what the swift boaters were up to?

This may be nothing. It is a parade in West Virigina.

7. Is it scandalous in some way? Did Obama do something wrong?

15. Very good point about the swiftboaters!
By not coming out and shooting down those ridiculous allegations early on (Kerry shooting himself on purpose to get Purple Hearts, etc) the Kerry Campaign counted on the common sense of the general public to kick in and discount the swiftboaters' claims.

5. Please delete them.
Edited on Wed Aug-31-11 01:44 PM by Jackpine Radical
In general, if you want to post pics, you have to create an account on a site like Photobucket, post your pics to that, & then use that as the url for the pics. It's not hard. Photobucket & some other sites are free. Flickr is one, but I find it harder to use.

Please don't make me regret telling you this.

6. the answer is you have to "post" them as a link to something on the web
for example a flickr, or whatever they are calling it these days, account.

8. The description was enough, thanks
I'm sorry you are related to bigots, but I'll make this unanimous: delete them and spare the rest of us.

9. Please don't delete them. Use them as evidence the
next time someone tries to claim that teabaggers aren't racist.

14. I will keep them in file.
However, I still don't know how to post them here unless I use photobucket or flicker, both of which they deleted my account for things they didn't like. (not pornographic or anything obscene} (they, flicker, did not like my politics)

10. I think it would be better to not post them...
Seeing as how they're really inflammatory.

OR, you could post a link to them, with a warning. That way, those who want to see will be able to, and everyone else can avoid them.


In the future, for other photos, you need Photobucket or other photo hosting site to post photos.

There are instructions as to how to post photos once you sign up. Photobucket is free.

13. Is there an address attached to the photos? Although I have no interest
Edited on Wed Aug-31-11 01:48 PM by chelsea0011
In seeing the photos, I would be interested in where they originated from.

18. I don't wanna see them. But on Facebook
just add the pics (and check your privacy level!) and there you have your URL.

I hope you told your aunt what your take is on this type of email. Remind her that the gov't can access everything per the PATRIOT Act, and the Secret Service could be notified. I'm sorry you have to deal with relatives like that. Ugh! I would give her a real big piece of my mind.

19. You can bet some turd has already uploaded the pics. Here's how to find them.
For our example, we'll use this awesome cartoon.



Google has a new function, called "search by image." This is different from "search images."

"Search by image" works like this: you enter a url for an image, or you upload an image, into the search engine, and it finds matching and similar images on the web.

http://www.google.com/insidesearch/searchbyimage.html

Upload the trash into the Google search, find where other trash has posted it, and share with a WARNING.
