I'm At A Point Where I Feel Bad For My Repug Friends..... [View all]
yes I have Repug friends.
Many of which send me those pass on e-mails that are RW drivel and lies. I used to respond to them providing them data and Snopes reviews to refute - but that didn't stop them. Now I just totally ignore whatever they send me and feel sorry for them.
These are smart - college educated people. A couple of them are CEO's of companies, accountants, businessmen - yet they continue to embarrass themselves by sending this crap around to everyone on their e-mail listing. One would think that they are smart enough to verify what they are sending out before they hit send - but they don't. Instead they pass on this crap and in my mind they make themselves looking totally silly. Really - I'm embarrassed for them and feel bad that they are totally oblivious to the fact the others - like myself - laugh at them and make fun of them because of their blindedness to the facts.
I wonder if somehow we could run some sort of embarrassment campaign and knock some sense into these people. Make them feel uncomfortable that others perceive them as less of a person because they are so biased that they lose all common sense and sense of reality.
They would be mortified if they realized their employees perceive them as less a person. They are sending these things on to their friends like me - and not all of their friends are like minded and as biased as they are.
