I'm sure you have seen these odious emails, and I refuse to reproduce them. Is anyone else still getting these? I get them once a week. I sincerely hope that my ignorant relatives are the minority. But in case they are not, is it a good idea to start a viral email campaign debunking that stupid racist 'Obama is a muslim' email? My viral email (below the fold) would have the headline "Obama is a Christian."
Side note #1: I am open to the idea that this simply gives life to the lie, so please persuade me in your comments.
Side note #2: I am also aware that the notion of promoting Obama as a Christian is of course inherently bigoted against Muslims and other religions but arguing as such would be lost on these people. So my question would be - does the end (stop the slander) justify the means (speaking to - and thus possibly reinforcing - readers in their own bigoted language)? I’d love to hear your thoughts.
Way off topic side note: I am tempted to do another diary entitled "Bob Kerrey is an a**hole." (Read the Fox news link below and see if you agree with me.)
I'm sorry if this has already been diaried- I did a search but didn't see it.
Please be gentle; first time diarist here!
