My 80 year old Uncle sends me a right wing E-Mail about Obama
My Uncle:

Your Father and two uncles and my two sons fought for the USA. This so called Christian defamed the United States. Obama refuses to salute or give the pledge of Allegiance to the USA. Be carefull who you vote for! Not one who believes in Allah as his God and Muslims who want all Christians Killed along with the Jewish people.

Uncle ....,

Obama's God and our God are not the same.
.............................................................

My reply:

My brother and I also served this country too. You won't find me hiding behind my military service as an excuse to smear the other political party's candidate. How mis-informed you are about Obama. Must be the results of the reight-wing propaganda SMEAR MACHINE. Do you really believe what you just wrote about Obama? That so called salute/pledge/Muslim rumor was proven wrong a long, long, time ago. Snopes can be your friend, or you can go on showing your damn ignorance! I'll be sending you a snopes link. It's up to you if you want to stay ignorant and continue to be a tool for the reight-wing propaganda machine!

Nephew .....,

5. That RW nachine is oumpingt them out.
I've gotten 2 from my mother in the last week. The latest was 'Do we want this to replace laura b*sh? It was an attack on Michelle Obama's college thesis. RW fools lap it up. My mother is a college graduate; she possessed critical thinking skills at one time. I guess she gave it all up.

Uncle ...

You are off your Rocker! I have never hid behind my military service or the 30 plus years I served with the U>S> Government. Some of it at the Pentagon. And the Policy and Plans at the Tank and Automotive Command. I never got my education playing football! I am not ignorant I have four college degrees and a Master's degree. I am not stupid like you! Wake up open your eyes! Vote for the Black Muslim. Snopes is a bunch of Bull Crap. MCain is your next president. You might ask your brother who he is voting for. You may be surprised.-----

My reply back:

Again you start off by hiding behind your military record by reminding me how many years you were in the military, like that's suppose to make what you say about Obama credible. You got your education thanks to the liberal democrats who passed the GI Bill after WW2 with lots of opposition from the republicans. Republicans were salivating over the prospects of millions of desperate GI's to hire as cheap labor! SNOPES is a very credible source and does not favor any political party over the other.

And my brother is a democrat and hates republicans!
