Subject: Obama in Afghanistan

Hello everyone,

<snip>

Yes, it is fake. Keep passing it around until you believe it!

http://www.snopes.com/politics/obama/afghanistan.asp

Rush and all of your right-wing buddies are cackling over this fake!
What a bunch of morons! Maybe you should try checking it out first.
Nah, then you would know it was fake before you passed it on to your
buddies that will panic and pass it on in more of a panic to more
right-winger that will panic even more!!!- Hide quoted text -

I am not a RW, but a moderate and my mistake was to pass it on
without checking it out, bad form.

My apologies. I guess you have to run anything by Snopes.

I try to see both sides (though Partriot Games will wholeheartedly
disagree) of an issue, but I have seen so many of these false emails
that I check them all out. Most have been false (I believe there is
research that showed 29 of 31 had false or misleading information in
them).

I appreciate your candor on this.
