A great site for debunking chain letters

[noahmijo]

The other night I got a chain mail from my uncle and father (whom I'm sorry to say know little to nothing of how the internet works, and they swallow every piece of right wing mail they get and I'm sick of it) and I used this site and shoved the email right back at them completely debunked (it accused the Dems of screwing people over on social security ect)

Anyways here it is for any of you who have reactionaries in the family that send you rw bullshit, or feel free to post any of its material on rw sites that you haven't been kicked off of yet ;-)

1. Good site, noahmijo.

I saved it under my "favorites."

I, too, get tons of this garbage and love to throw the facts back into the repukes' faces. Problem is, they don't read the facts -- they'd rather take free advice at face value from some stranger on the Internet.

Go figure.

3. Yea that's true

It's one thing to force them to glance at it, but will they actually read it and analyze it or just pass it off as "liberal bullshit" despite the fact that most of the time the sources used are moderate or come from reputable business journals like Businessweek and WSJ (not the opinion section) ect (in my case)

The only thing I have going for me is one thing that the dad and uncle trust me on is computer stuff, so if I pass it off as more of a way that rw'ers use computers and internet to dupe people I get their attention on that aspect at least.

Glad you liked it hope more people use it in combatting the crap that comes out of the Coulter and Rush cults.
