It's Starting....from my Repug GA Relative...sent on long EMail Chain:
Edited on Mon Nov-05-07 10:16 PM by KoKo01
Image:

"MONICA LEWINSKY phto on Campaign Button saying:

"I'M VOTING REPUBLICAN...DEMOCRATS LEFT BAD TASTE IN MY MOUTH"

Here's the image from e-mail but I can't figure out way to cut down the file size with the jpg.

mailbox:///C|/Documents%20and%20Settings/20Dataqszxxbvp.=image001.jpg

How can this stuff be counteracted? The RW is starting their Campaign...

6. I tried to save it from the e-mail...but it doesn't work. Hoping some
Wizard could figure out the jpg. to get it to work without me having to sign up for PhotoBucket.

Anyway the button photo is crap... and I posted what it was. I haven't gotten any of those RW e-mails from this relative in a couple of years...but I see that it's starting up again...

2. I can't remember if I was listening to Sam Seder on Saturday
but they were talking about these malicious and slanderous email strings and the best way to diffuse them was to go to sites like Snopes and others I can' remember and reply to all with the truth.

23. OMG...I love That....Can I swipe it as a jpg and send it back to him?
I don't want to hog your bandwidth...but I never signed up for PhotoBucket or those programs.

This would set his crowd back on their butts just like this one! :D

12. Thanks....what happened is that some RW jerk put that pix of
Monica on a Campaign Button with "Photo Shop" and is sending it around as a campaign message to remind folks about Bill. The e-mail doesn't mention what Snopes says that Monica signed up to be a Repug. The
person just sent a campaign button photo with the slogan. About 25 of their RW Friends were on the cc list and it came from one of them as a slam to Hillary. So, the Georgia Machine is cranking up...:-(

36. just add a little tag to their button and send it back "reply to all"
after the "democrats left a bad taste in my mouth"

write- But in the republican party only men suck dick.

(this is not meant to be a dig about someone's sexual identity. this is meant to highlight what myopic shitheads the republicans are)

14. Yes...that's what I should send back to my relative and his whole CC list.
I used to do that all the time...but he's been quiet since '06 Election and I figured maybe he'd seen the light and wasn't into that crap anymore. I guess I was wrong...

16. No....I'm not a HIllary supporter because I figured crap like this would happen...but not so soon.
and it still makes me angry to have that shit sent to me even though she's not my candidate.

18. On the plus side
this will backfire... and some pubs will cross party lines and vote against her in primaries

And I expect her not to be the candidate anyway.

US Electoral history mostly

Can you say Governor Dean?

32. I just hate to see this stuff start up again when times are so serious
it's hard to see a plus... even if she's not my candidate. But...i guess i can see what you are saying...except they will do this to anyone whose a Dem...they never stop. And, while some of our Dems deserve it..it seems...from their actions lately...just seeing the gleefulness of that Freep mentality once again...is :puke:

40. they have no choice
they have painted themselves into this corner and my hope is that it wil not work this time

But the politics of personal destruction (and you are right, we could nominate Jesus Christ, and he'd be slimed) are just another form of the politics of fear

this one is plaiyng on male insercurities

19. Anyone who gets that crap should find stuff to send back to those folks because
if they do it to any of our candidates they will do it to ALL OF THEM. I just didn't expect to see this stuff so soon...

At one point I sent this relative some of the photos from Abu Graeb and sent it "Forward to All" so his whole EMail list got them. I didn't think I'd have to get back into this stuff figuring they'd all awakened by now to what an ASS Bush is and they'd be getting over their hate. I guess they don't learn.

24. They don't learn.
They don't care to learn. Willful ignorance. They won't learn because they don't want to. Otherwise, they might have to think about what they have condoned. You have my sympathies.

And a a link to a site with pictures of/from war. You might want to focus on the "white" folks as I doubt that people with that mentality give a rat's ass about brown skinned people. Sorry, for the prejudice against that mindset. I'm pissed and I'm tired.

35. A shame, isn't it? It has to effect them directly before they care?
So, sorry, KoKo01. I jettisoned my repub family members some time back. They couldn't stand having a feminist as a family member and I was saved most of the crap.

Sometimes being the "black sheep", "red-headed, step-child" has its perks. :/

27. I got a repug email as well warning against (us), here's what I did...
I sent back a reply thanking me for keeping me informed on such things. I told them I was a graphics arts type and would be glad to aid them in any way, and here was a link to some of my work!
(anyone who has seen my work, such as it is will realize that 90% of it will cause instant foaming at the mouth by these twirly-eyed brick-brains!

The first page has some good stuff for future use. i'll check out the other pages later!

Repug Convention "Roach Motel" and your other bugs...were ones that hit home with me...:D Thanks! I think we are going to need all the animation/ammunition we can get...if they are starting this stuff up again. But...aren't most Americans so sick of getting this e-mail Repug Freeper Spam? Sheesh...it's not like they don't know what's going on these days....or are they that clueless? :shrug:
