Can't take any more emails from a repub
Please help. A twisted "friend" of mine keeps e-mailing me B*sh propoganda, and I have just been deleteing them and have refused to answer any of them. Got another one tonight, so I've had enough, ready to blast her e-mail with several anti-B*sh articles and need websites that I can get info from, any suggestions?

1. It might be easier
to just block her email addy.

On the other hand... I'm sure people will come up with plenty of suggestions for GREAT info to email. :hi:

3. can you see all the addressees?
If so, the best is to post them up, we can debunk them, you can reply to all.

4. Depends on what you want to do
If you're interested in material to refute specific allegations, you can post those here. After you convince everyone you're not a freeper polluting the forums with republican agitprop, you'll actually get some good tips on how to respond, and DUers have been known to provide "custom debunking" services pro bono.

If you're thinking more of a "carpet bomb" of anti-bush material, then try

http://www.bigpath.net

Their selection of quick & effective flyer material is among the best I've ever seen, you will not be disappointed. Also check out

Join up, and you'll find all kinds of goodies.

5. be nice

Send him/her an email that you aren't reading any political emails from that side, and that that it would be "a good idea" to expect you to not read or respond to anything until November 3 (or whenever the election is decided).

6. Give us her email...
...and we'll share some of OUR beliefs. *hint, hint* Maybe then she'll get a clue that its obnoxious.

7. Thanks for the help and advice
But I have already told her very nicely not to send this to me, that we disagree politically, and that is ok. Didn't work.

Thanks for the websites

8. Same problem here
Edited on Mon Oct-18-04 12:43 AM by catchthefever
I terminated my friendship with this jerk because he was so disrespectful of my opposing veiw.

First step was to send a message that I do not appreciate unsubstantiated propaganda. Any "info" must come from a respected news source.

When the jerk kept on sending, I replied with reverse-propaganda. Got the same message regarding propaganda in return.

The final email was one that stated that I could no longer be friends with someone so disrespectful, and any future emails would be regarded as spam and reported as such.

Harsh, maybe, but some people can only learn the hard way. I don't wantto waste time and mental real estate on disrespectful "friends".

9. I got one last week and simply replied that I was voting for Kerry.
Simple and straight forward.

10. I get them all the time
What I do is add all the addresses that the email was sent to to a seperate address book, and then send them anti-Bush material instead. I've only had 2 people request to be removed from my list, and I've removed them. That's more than I can say for the idiots that send me the stuff because I've asked to be removed from their list to no avail.

11. Tell her you are blocking emails from her and let her know precisely why.
That's what I've been doing with an old neighbor of mine. :hi:
