New on Snopes: Costco owned by the Chinese.
Of course it's false. It mentions "confusion" between the name and COSCO, which is the Chinese shipping company.

Probably some right winger (again) pissed off they give to Dems.

When will these, racist, homophobic, mysogynistic, gun toting, shit stains of e-mails stop? I just debunked a "school prayer" one attributed falsely to Paul Harvey. My DAD sent it!!! It goes on to say things about "the silent majority will take back our country, and more shit like that. I told my dad to replace every reference to "public prayer" with "gay sex talk" and tell himself if he'd be ok with that.:evilgrin:

What would I do without this site?

1. Nobody does more for the Chinese than the Bush family and WalMart.
Trace Walmart's deals with the Chinese industrialists back to Poppy Bush in the 70s and his brother who also happened to be the head of the US-China Chamber of Commerce for many years.

2. Oh' here's another one. They never give up!
Remember this one?



Now it's circulating that it was at a speech given by (take a wild guess) Ted Kennedy, instead of Chimpy, which we all saw 6-9 months ago. This was in Salt Lake City. I remember it like yesterday. GULLIBLE and SHAMELESS at the same time!
