How to make your own right wing chain email.... |
|
No research required! Have fun spreading ignorance and hatred! And it's free!....
Step 1 Pick a classic subject: (taxes, hidden good news from Iraq, the damned Liberal media, homos, minorities)
Step 2 Say anything you want. Be creative. Make up large numbers. Use a tone that says "everyone knows..." Example: "NASA spent $12 billion on a space pen while the Russians use pencils and your taxes paid for it!"
Step 3 Close with an appeal to the recipient to quickly forward it on without further thought: "We must get the word out. Send this to 6 friends. Do it now!"
Step 4 Send your ranting work of fiction to everyone you remotely know; especially the liberals on your list.
Optional: Wait 3 weeks -- check Snopes out for the truth about whatever fiction you generated.
yes this is :sarcasm:
This is prime season to get chain emails about how the government wastes your taxes. Not that they don't waste a considerable percentage but the "facts" in the RW emails will all be made up. In the NASA example above, the pens actually were made by a private individual and sold to the government (NASA) for $2.95 each. How they picked the one thing that NASA did NOT overpay for is the real miracle of these types of emails.

1. it usually helps to mention Hillary Clinton |
|
such as, "Hillary Clinton allocated the money for the space pen, millions of which are currently not accounted for. However, a new gay mexican socialist atheist muslim divorce trial lawyer community center with a built in abortion clinic was built just two blocks from the white house when Hillary ran the country."

...
(a) Make sure you preface any slander with "some would say", IE "Some would say that the liberals want to take your businesses profits from you, and hand them straight over to Al-Qaeda..."
(b) make sure that you say that a famous person like George Carlin, or Robin Williams wrote it.

3. Oh, MAKE SURE you say George Carlin wrote it |
|
considering he HATES this administration and its enablers with the kind of passion that makes people spontaneously explode.

11. I saw Carlin on Real Time and |
|
he was visibly restraining himself from responding to the RW talking points one of the other guests was spouting. I thought he was going to go apeshit, seriously.
Haven't seen Robin Williams on anything like that yet.

8. Very helpful, but still requires a slight amount of effort |
|
Couldn't all these elements be incorporated into a rudimentary software program that could generate wingnut emails with simple one-click convenience?
