My Uncle is continually forwarding me these emails. It amazes me not only that he completely believes them but how many times these are forwarded and re-forwarded on an on an on. Then at family holidays and get togethers he'll get worked up talking about how the country is going to hell while using these emails as examples of the truth that is being hid from us by the liberal media.
 
Here's today's gem!

So this is how politics work!!!!!!!??????????????






You won't believe this one......OK yes you will......




Some have said that the stimulus hasn't saved any jobs,

but here is a case where at least one job was saved.

Take for instance Oregon State University Athletic Director

Bob DeCarolis.


4892735825_36bdcb9b23.jpg


Now Mr. DeCarolis was considering firing their

Basketball Coach.......

Craig Robinson

after an

8 -11 start (2-5) in the Pac 10 conference).

When word reached Washington ,

Undersecretary of Education

Martha Kanter


4893332820_333216b1f8.jpg


was dispatched to Corvallis with $17 million

in stimulus money for the university.

Thankfully, Craig Robinson's job is

safe for another year

Now comes the interesting part of our story....

For those of you unfamiliar with

Coach Robinson,


4893332870_99cde5ef91.jpg


he just so happens to be the brother in law

of none other than our country's

beloved President,


4892735925_0951b8b8bb.jpg


NOW YOU’RE CATCHING ON......

that's right he is the brother of

Michelle Obama!


4893332920_c3dab12f25.jpg


But hey, can't we all come to the conclusion

that Coach Robinson's job security

was all just a coincidence?

I'm sure of it!

Aren't You?

Thank Goodness For The

Stimulus!!!
 
I wanted to reproduce it on here just like it looks in the email so the only thing I could think to do was upload the pics to flickr so they would show like they do in the body of the email. It took me a little longer then I thought it was going to, lol.

LOL my grandma used to do things like that about Obama being a terrorist.. then my mom told her that we are all democrats and we support Obama so she should stop. Thankfully, she did.
 
Shoot, doesn't everyone have an uncle or aunt, or brother, or sister, or dad, or mom, or grandfather, or grandmother, or friend, or _______ like that? :lol:

I've learned.

These days, I usually try and find the Snopes rebuttal link.................then copy all. :D
 
The funny part is that the country is going to hell. The only problem with those emails is that they are a just one symptom of the problem, not proof in any way shape or form.

I almost wonder if people don't make up that stuff to distract us from what is really happening.

Edit.... I meant symptom of the problem in that people get too caught up in crazy stuff and don't worry about the real issues.

They don't necessarily make it up, but they embellish the hell out of it. My grandparents, in their late 80's, eat this shit up like it's candy. They're convinced that the "liberals/communists/socialists" are out to destroy the country, and what not...so I asked him if he cashes his social security check, uses medicare and liked the fact he could retire at 60 instead of still working in his late 60's like his son.

Their station of choice? Fox News and KXL.

My point is that people (on both sides of the fence) make stuff up to scare (usually) older people into believing stuff. and older people are the ones who vote more often, usually have more expendable money and listen to talk radio and watch news all day. They know their targeted audience is easily swayed, and run with it.

I'm just surprised that first, people actually take the time to make this crap up (or spin & distort truths into complete lies) and just the amount of people who just keep forwarding these things. I've done the snopes thing a few times but most are so obvious you don't need to. Also in an odd, slow down when passing a bad accident kind of way, I kind of enjoy them. My uncle is obviously going to continue to believe these things no matter how many links I send him. If I do that too much he'll just eventually take me off of the list of those he forwards them to. Some of these are just too crazy fun to miss out on reading.
 
This one is almost cute. Illegal immigration is a serious issue and a huge problem. There are tons of very good articles and interviews out there. But instead someone actually took the time to make this up?

Viva Mexico!




Subject: Interview (WITH ILLEGAL MEXICAN)






Here is a REAL INTERVIEW with an illegal Mexican at a protest march in
Texas. This is good! Below is a good example of a discussion with a master
of circular logic. Don't be logical, don't respect the truth or your
adversary, just say what you think that makes a new case when the previous
case gets too difficult to defend.

Jim Moore reporting for a Houston TV station on the streets of downtown
Houston

Jim: Juan, I see that you and thousands of other protesters are marching in
the streets to demonstrate for your cause. Exactly what is your cause and
what do you expect to accomplish by this protest?

Juan: We want our rights. We will show you how powerful we are. We will
bring Houston to its knees!

Jim: What rights?

Juan: Our right to live here...legally. Our right to get all the benefits
you get.

Jim: When did you come to the United States?

Juan: Six years ago. I crossed over the border at night with seven other
friends.

Jim: Why did you come?

Juan: For work I can earn as much in a month as I could in a year in Mexico.
Besides, I get free health care, our Mexican children can go to school free,
if I lose my job I will get Welfare, and someday I will have the Social
Security. Nothing like that in Mexico!

Jim: Did you feel badly about breaking our immigration laws when you came?

Juan: No! Why should I feel bad? I have a right to be here. I have a right
to amnesty.
I paid lots of money for my Social Security and Green Cards.

Jim: How did you acquire those documents?

Juan: From a guy in Dallas . He charged me a lot of money too.
Jim: Did you know that those documents were forged?

Juan: It is of no matter. I have a right to be here and work.
Jim: What is the "right" you speak of?

Juan: The right of all Aliens. It is found in your Constitution. Read it!

Jim: I have read it, but I do not remember it saying anything about rights
for Aliens.

Juan: It is in that part where it says that all men have Alien rights, like
the right to pursue happiness. I wasn't happy in Mexico, so I came here.

Jim: I think you are referring to the declaration of Independence and that
document speaks to unalienable rights. Not Alien rights.

Juan: Whatever.
Jim: Since you are demanding to become an American citizen, why then are you
carrying a Mexican Flag?
Juan: Because I am Mexican.

Jim: But you said you want to be given amnesty ... to become a US citizen.

Juan: No. This is not what we want. This is our country, a part of Mexico
that you Gringos stole from us. We want it returned to its rightful owner.

Jim: Juan, you are standing in Texas. After winning the war with Mexico,
Texas became a Republic, and later Texans voted to join the USA. It was not
stolen from Mexico.

Juan: That is a Gringo lie. Texas was stolen. So was California, New
Mexico and Arizona. It is just like all the other stuff you Gringos steal,
like oil and babies. You are a country of thieves.

Jim: Babies? You think we steal babies?

Juan: Sure. Like from Korea and Vietnam and China. I see them all over
the place.
You let all these foreigners in, but try to keep us Mexicans out How is
this fair?

Jim: So, you really don't want to become an American citizen then.
Juan: I just want my rights! Everyone has a right to live, work, and speak
their native language wherever and whenever they please. That's another
thing we demand. All signs and official documents should be in Spanish.
Teachers must teach in Spanish. Soon, more people here in Houston will
speak Spanish than English. It is our right!

Jim: If I were to cross over the border into Mexico without proper
documentation,
what rights would I have there?

Juan: None. You would probably go to jail, but that's different.

Jim: How is it different? You said everyone has the right to live wherever
they please.

Juan: You Gringos are a bunch of land grabbing thieves. Now you want
Mexico too?
Mexico has its rights. You Gringos have no rights in Mexico. Why would you
want to go there anyway? There is no free medical service, schools, or
welfare there for foreigners such as you. You cannot even own land in my
country. Stay in the country of your birth.

Jim: I can see that there is no way that we can agree on this issue. Thank
you for your comments.

Juan: Viva Mexico!

Pass this along to every American citizen in your address books and to every
representative in the state and federal government. If you choose to remain
uninvolved, do not be amazed when you no longer have a nation to call your
own nor anything you have worked for left since it will be "redistributed"
to the activists while you are so peacefully staying out of the "fray".
Check history, it is full of nations/empires that disappeared when its
citizens no longer held their core beliefs and values.
One person CAN make a difference. One plus one plus one plus one plus one
plus one........
The battle for our secure borders and immigration laws that actually mean
something, however, hasn't even begun.

Ok if someone believes that was a real conversation, they deserve to be deported.

What's funny about that email is it's at least 3 1/2 years old.

Lots of the ones he forwards are years old. Not sure if they've been out there clogging those internet tubes for that long or people resurrect them from time to time.
 
...it is so funny that you posted this, I just had it out with one of my uncles over their mis-informed hate emails for any and all things Islam!

It is sad that so many Americans are ignorant TV zombies...
 
This one he sent me last moth. I knew it instantly it was only an urban legend but I had to "snopes" anyway just to see how old it was.

While I didn't copy all of the font sizes a colors throughout the email that I got I did leave all the weird formatting that happened to it and additional comments that were added to the beginning and end as a result of it's umpteenth forwardings.
