>> >> later, in the same state, you can become an assistant College dean!
>> >> Only in America !
>> >>
>> >> Erica Huggins was the woman who served the Panthers by boiling the

>> >>
>> >> How in the world do you think these killers got off so easy? Maybe

>>accused
>> >> Black Panthers during their trial. One of these people was none >> >> other
>> >> than Bill Lan Lee.
>> >>
>> >> Mr. Lee, or Mr. Lan Lee, as the case may be, isn't a college dean. >> >> He
>> >> Isn' t a member of a California School Board. He is now head of the

>> >>
>> >> O.K., so who was the other Panther defender? Is this other notable
>> >> Panther defender now a school board member? Is this other Panther
>> >> apologist now an assistant college dean? No, neither!
>> >>
>> >> The other Panther defender was, like Lee, a radical law student at

5. With the following link:
Snopes debunks this.

And a hearty "Eff You" to whomever sent it to you. But remember, grin viciously when you say that. :evilgrin:

Disclaimer: The "Eff You" is completely optional, and may incite strife, especially if the person you received the original email is family, friends, or overly sensitive (but not sensitive enough to not send out BS emails) It may also incite dizziness, headaches, and nausea. See your doctor for more details.

11. use snopes to debunk, then reply with this..
How Bush's grandfather helped Hitler's rise to power

Rumours of a link between the US first family and the Nazi war machine have circulated for decades. Now the Guardian can reveal how repercussions of events that culminated in action under the Trading with the Enemy Act are still being felt by today's president

Ben Aris in Berlin and Duncan Campbell in Washington
Saturday September 25, 2004
The Guardian


George Bush's grandfather, the late US senator Prescott Bush, was a director and shareholder of companies that profited from their involvement with the financial backers of Nazi Germany.
The Guardian has obtained confirmation from newly discovered files in the US National Archives that a firm of which Prescott Bush was a director was involved with the financial architects of Nazism.

His business dealings, which continued until his company's assets were seized in 1942 under the Trading with the Enemy Act, has led more than 60 years later to a civil action for damages being brought in Germany against the Bush family by two former slave labourers at Auschwitz and to a hum of pre-election controversy.

15. Backasswards Hillary Diss
It's actually in the rules that we are not supposed to diss Democratic candidates. I don't know why people think that doesn't include Hillary. ...and ancient history. ...and BFD.

...and I worked with The Black Panthers...whites could only be auxiliary, not members...but they were mostly fighting the good fight. Were you around back then? I was. ...and why should what a few members of a group do, reflect on the entire group. ...and where are links to reliable sources for this story? ...and most importantly of all, ALL DEFENDANTS ARE PRESUMED INNOCENT AND ARE SUPPOSED TO GET A FAIR TRIAL AND BE REPRESENTED BY COMPETENT COUNCIL...so good for Hillary.

STOP DISSING HER. IT'S IN THE RULES.

18. Sorry!
