Debunking anti-Obama e-mails

Error-filled chain e-mails designed to scare voters away from Barack Obama are circulating widely on the Internet. Salon deconstructs a pair, one smearing the candidate, the other his wife.

    slaird46, why all the huffing-and-puffing instead of coming straight out and saying that you're in favour of censorship?

    You're not "on message" anyway as Obama announced in Berlin that he's a citizen of the world. The world is varied with a lot of divergent opinions, in case you didn't know. As for those "intelligent and thoughtful" writers you mention, I wonder if you have in mind a writer in War Room who chose the heading "Chickenshit" for his/her letter. All the best and keep close to the wall!
