Saucy Jack is Back
Over at Freeperland, the morons are in an uproar, once again, over a hoax letter that has been circulating since 2001.

http://www.freerepublic.com/tag/news-forum/index?tab=articles

Purporting to be from a Marine Scout, it details bogus info from Afghanistan. I guess the poster didn't check Snopes.

Fool me once, fool me a hundred times...I'm a moron!

5. Someone posted the Snopes link over there...
too bad. This could have gone on for days. Still, plenty of people will reply to the original post without reading the thread, so the merriment will continue for a while.

7. Fun's over. The thread was pulled.
But Saucy Jack's letter will re-emerge at some point. This kind of crap just keeps circulating through email forwards. It never dies, and the enthusiasm with which freeper morons eat it up never fades.

10. Don't you know? They don't believe Snopes
They think they are Democrats, even though the two people behind Snopes are conservative.

They don't like Snopes because they speak <gasp> the truth.
