"I'm so stressed I could KILL someone!!!!!!!"-Hutaree Terrorist Upset By BOGUS Chain EMail

HUTAREE MILITIA MEMBER BELIEVED BOGUS CHAIN EMAIL
Hutaree Member Angered By Fake Hamas Resettlement Bill
Justin Elliott | March 31, 2010, 4:04PM

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.

1. So they've never heard of Snopes or Factcheck? Maybe that should be the first
thing people are taught when they open an email account. Geez.

3. It sure doesn't take much to drive these people to violence; it would be tempting
to f*ck with them with bogus over-the-top emails.. except they seem to be eager to believe *anything*.
