FYI - Snopes.Com has a whole Obama page already

1. I'm sure the right wing smear machine will quickly overwhelm that list.

:grr:

2. The link to that page should be sent out if you get an Obama virus email

as well as be sent out to anyone that has ever sent you a political message. The repukes are working on lying to and tricking the nation so they can continue their reign of terror and destruction. It's up to all of us, to put an end to their evil ways.

3. I do that for every one I can.

In fact, it stops those emails real quick like. They love to send them, but don't like to be proven wrong.

At least by using Snopes, I don't have to "say" any of my own words, which would eventually lose a friend. Some people are plastered with this crap and truly believe it until you let the air out of their balloon.

Try it, everyone! It works.

5. Do you use the reply all feature, so you get everyone that has been given the deliberately false

info?

[Frustratedlady]

9. No, but I sure will. Thanks!

4. Does it debunk the email I got that Obama was "gerbling" with Richard Gere? n/t

[RobertSeattle]

6. Not yet - but I heard it was a MUSLIM Gerble...

7. There's probably a lot more...

lies flying around that we - and snopes - don't hear of. The rightwingnuts send this shit back and forth to each other all the time. The only time "outsiders" hear about them is when somebody screws up and sends it to somebody outside their little circle-jerk.

8. And for those of us who are red-green colorblind

we'll just read the articles.

10. As I posted earlier in the Obama forum

I've purchased the domains "Obamaisamuslim.info" and "barackisamuslim.info" after curiosity had me thinking, "betcha the freepers haven't gotten every domain variation they might use to attack him".

My plan is to make the domains a site for debunking the email slander crap (not just the muslim canard, though that one needs debunking). And I'm soliciting suggestions as to what to put on it.

11. Will be an interesting experiment

Would be fun to do something like:

You main page:
1. Did someone tell you something to you that got you to this sight?
2. I bet what they told you is dead wrong.
3. Ever wonder what else they've told is dead wrong?
