Dearest MIL,

Thank you for sending this out. I think it's critical that EVERYONE know what type of job Scott Walker's been doing as the governor of Wisconsin.

He and his Republican-controlled state congress voted to strip the public unions in his state (including those lazy, overpaid, good-for-nothing TEACHERS) of their collective bargaining rights. This means that state employees in Wisconsin no longer have a union to help negotiate their salaries and benefits. They no longer have a union to ensure that working conditions on the job meet certain safety requirements. And they no longer have a union to protect them, in the event that an administrator decides to arbtrarily fire them for reasons unrelated to actual job performance.

Walker also forced public employees to pay more into their own retirement. Which I think is good. Because if there's ANYONE who makes too much money, it's teachers, and janitors, and guys who work on road crews for the DoT.

You know what Walker was able to do with all that money he saved? He said he was forced to put his budget policy into effect to shore up a state deficit, but he's just being modest. He was able to give Wal-Mart and McDonalds and other multinational corporations that do business in Wisconsin $140 million in tax breaks! Which I think is good. Because if there's ANYONE who doesn't make enough money, it's Wal-Mart and McDonalds. The Walton family can send their kids to college now...

SNIP

...At any rate, I know firsthand just how great Walker's policies are, because New Hampshire Republicans are trying to do exactly what he did in Wisconsin. And let's face it, MIL: your daughter is the EPITOME of a lazy, overpaid, and good-for-nothing state worker! If New Hampshire Republicans are able to do exactly what Walker did, she could be fired at-will, with no recourse for an appeal or review. I don't know about you, but I think that's FANTASTIC! She could trade in that job where she does nothing but drink wine and get massages all day, for two or three retail jobs. I think that might be sufficient in order to keep a roof over your grandchildrens' heads, and food in their bellies...

1. I've had to send similar types of emails to M-I-L also.

Of course, I also hit "reply all" so all of her RW friends get a dose of reality too. I usually get a "don't send me any more emails. I don't know who you are" response. :evilgrin:

2. One hitch in the Plan....

Step 2 talks about countering the email with facts. There are no facts... there are no debunks... that will impress those fucking people.

Snopes is Liberal. Politifact is Liberal. Factcheck.org is Liberal. I've even quoted Fux Snews and had people write back that the Media is liberal and can't be trusted.

Stupidity abides.

I've tried the method.. thank FSM I don't have relatives who send that shit... on emailers. No soap. I've gotten nasty and called them liars and stupid fucks. Doesn't seem to faze them. There's a number of them who just enjoy harassing a Liberal. That's fucking with my head, and a no-no. So I made up a one-size-fits-all response and just send it to reply-all every time I get one of those.

"You poor deluded asshole. This thing has been debunked by any number of fact-checking outfits, and yet you send it out over your name.... usually to other poor deluded, low-information assholes."
