The Detroit Free Press notices that charged Hutaree militia member Tina Stone bemoaned the passage of H.R. 1388 on her Facebook page recently. That bill has been the subject of a false chain email that warns President Obama provided money to settle Hamas members in the United States.
......................
"H.B. 1388 Passed.... It's bad news for us all," she wrote.
She added:
"I'm peeved,,, when people in this country is getting kicked out of there homes everyday and our government passes a bill to spend more then 20 billion dollars to bring Hamas here and supplies them with food and homes that just wrong."
Soon after, she added, "I'm so stressed I could KILL someone!!!!!!!".............................
It's pretty clear that Stone got these bogus ideas about H.R. 1388 from a chain email that has been thoroughly debunked by factcheck.org.
For the record, H.B. 1388 was a national service bill, expanding AmeriCorps.
It included no money for Hamas.http://tpmmuckraker.talkingpointsmemo.com/2010/03/hutaree_member_angered_by_fake_hamas_bill.phphttp://www.washingtonmonthly.com/archives/individual/2010_04/023156.php
