UGH!!! e-mail I received AT WORK on ACLU and crosses on federal land

[underpants]

Did you see in the news last week where the A C L U doesn't want any crosses on any Federal property?

Well duh......... (Scroll Down)

(INSERT PICTURE OF WHAT LOOKS OT BE ARLINGTON NATIONAL CEMETARY, with crosses (?)) I couldn't copy the picture

Let them try and remove these!! What are these people thinking?? At what point do we say, enough is enough? Please pass this on to as many people possible as quickly as you can even if you normally don't do this type of thing. Some messages just need to be forwarded and this is most certainly one of them.

Please take the time. Pass this on........

Doesn't the ACLU have more important things to do?

1. Refer the sender

to www.snopes.com

[Caution]

2. This is bullshit

this is another urban legend which snopes debunks:

Feel free to send the snopes link to whomever sent you that email. It's just another attempt to smear the ACLU and the great work they do to protect the rights of the American people.

3. nothing but a bunch of garbage...

Here is a picture of Arlington, note: no crosses:



This (probably the picture that the email claims is Arlington) is the American cemetary in Normandy, France:

4. yeah

and you might want to tell them the ACLU is defending Rush's medical records. THat ought to shut them up.

5. I love it...

6. Indeed they do have more important things to do which they are.

Like saving the constitution and civil liberties from this administration and its mindless supporters who enjoy hurling ridiculous accusations like this for the sole purpose of smearing them and discrediting the work they do. This claim has been thoroughly debunked as false http://www.snopes.com/politics/religion/cemetery.asp but that does not stop the dittoheads from mindlessly repeating it as their leaders wish. Terrible that your computer was befouled with this trash UP. The sender is to be pitied though since the ACLU is fighting to protect his or her rights as well, although they are incapable of realizing it.

7. Thanks to all

I sent it back to them.

8. the cross is

ancient symbol of execution,terror,and death. another Christian symbol that has "pagan" origins. of course this is all horse shit about the cemetery.

9. This e-mail is totally false

check out www.snopes.com

10. Bogus, and yes the ACLU does have more important things to do....

...and busts its balls doing them, every day.

So give 'em the benefit of the doubt before believing every email you get, and call your local branch and find out the facts on things like this for yourself. :)

Cheers,

11. No I knew it was false

I just couldn't believe that someone would use the company e-mail system to send it.

I had the snopes link anyway.

[benfranklin1776]

12. That is another ultimate irony with people like that.

Had you used the company system to send out a factually true email about say, why Bush should be impeached for misusing intelligence to lie us into war, they would undoubtedly be the first to turn you in for "misusing company resources." Their concept of the ideal world is one in which the only people who have the right to express opinions are those who praise Bush and the corporate controlled Republican Party or are bashing liberals and Democrats.

13. Ok phew...

14. A swastika is another cross design, very ancient too.

Ask them if it would be preferable?
