  The Power of Spam

Crazy right-wing chain e-mails take over our media, one small-town paper at a time.

To be fair, I think a lot of that stuff originates in the Wall Street Journal editorial offices.

thanks for the link, Paul. Surprisingly, I have gotten no feedback from anyone on this. I can't believe how lazy those people are.
 
Lazy slackers....
 
I have a growing collection of pass-it-on spam, via my dad via his winger cousin. 50 or so to date. They never check. They don't care that they're lies if they validate what they want to believe while reinforcing their hostility. I mean, if they're not angry they're just white males, eh? I have 1 of 50 that's not a fabric of lies and distortions.

I'll send you a zip file if you're really a glutton for punishment.
 
Heh ... I'll take your word for it.

Actually, you should start a blog where you just post all that crap. that would be awesome.
 
Better yet, why not send those emails (one at a time, of course) to the newspaper's editor, here. Maybe it will make it to the editorial page!
