How to add Snopes to your Firefox search bar:

[IDemo]

With still another laughable repub email to debunk, I thought this would be helpful.

Go to http://mycroft.mozdev.org/download.html and search for 'snopes.com', then click on the plugin to install it. You can now enter a phrase from the offending email or other propaganda hit piece and choose 'Snopes' as the search engine. Note - "JavaScript must be enabled to install a search plugin. If you have installed NoScript, you will need to allow this page to run scripts."

I always include a Snopes link when replying to garbage like this. It always seems to be written by the same person, or at least people who feel the Reader's Digest "Quotable Quotes" format makes for compelling reading.

2. equally useful: type 'snopes (whatever)' in the Google search box on Firefox.

5. True, but this will take you directly to the Snopes.com search page for the term

With Google, you will get every page that references the term, even those that want to debunk Snopes or support the urban legend.

3. We almost need a forum for those ignorant emails?

They have an orchestrated email smear campaign, no doubt.
