Attack Of The Gullible American Email! - Part Two

by
Jeff Archer Black



Regarding the mass forwarded email that contains the following subject line:

"Who Is Barack Obama?"

This forwarded email is usually prefaced with the disclaimer, "We were told this was checked out on 'Snopes.com'. It is factual. Check for yourself."

It contains the following dire message:
If you do not ever forward anything else, please forward this to all your contacts...this is very scary to think of what lies ahead of us here in our own United States...better heed this and pray about it and share it.

Who is Barack Obama?

Probable U. S. presidential candidate, Barack Hussein Obama was born in Honolulu, Hawaii, to Barack Hussein Obama, Sr., a black MUSLIM from Nyangoma-Kogel, Kenya and Ann Dunham, a white ATHEIST from Wichita, Kansas. Obama's parents met at the University of Hawaii.

When Obama was two years old, his parents divorced. His father returned to Kenya . His mother then married Lolo Soetoro, a RADICAL Muslim from Indonesia. When Obama was 6 years old, the family relocated to Indonesia . Obama attended a MUSLIM school in Jakarta . He also spent two years in a Catholic school.

Obama takes great care to conceal the fact that he is a Muslim. He is quick to point out that, "He was once a Muslim, but that he also attended Catholic school." Obama's political handlers are attempting to make it appear that he is not a radical.

Obama's introduction to Islam came via his father, and this influence was temporary at best. In reality, the senior Obama returned to Kenya soon after the divorce, and never again had any direct influence over his son's education.

Lolo Soetoro, the second husband of Obama's mother, Ann Dunham, introduced his stepson to Islam. Obama was enrolled in a Wahabi school in Jakarta. Wahabism is the RADICAL teaching that is followed by the Muslim terrorists who are now waging Jihad against the western world. Since it is politically expedient to be a CHRISTIAN when seeking major public office in the United States, Barack Hussein Obama has joined the United Church of Christ in an attempt to downplay his Muslim background. ALSO, keep in mind that when he was sworn into office he DID NOT use the Holy Bible, but instead the Koran.

Barack Hussein Obama will NOT recite the Pledge of Allegiance nor will he show any reverence for our flag. While others place their hands over their hearts, Obama turns his back to the flag and slouches.

Let us all remain alert concerning Obama's expected presidential candidacy.

The Muslims have said they plan on destroying the US from the inside out, what better way to start than at the highest level - through the President of the United States, one of their own!!!!


Did you actually check Snopes.com or did you just not bother because the person who sent the email to you said they already did? If you didn't, you should click on the Snopes link in the previous sentence to see if the person who sent this to you is being truthful. I mean, wouldn't you feel stupid if you sent this bogus email on to others only to find out it's complete bullshit? And of course, it is complete bullshit.

Now, if you believed this email and forwarded off to everyone you know, I must ask, are you a gullible American email forwarder?

Let's find out.

You've probably landed on this page for one of two reasons:

1. You received the email described above and are questioning it's validity
2. You are concerned about a Muslim terrorist becoming our next president

If you answered #1, good for you. You should always question everything that comes in the form of a chain email. Especially anything asking for your real name.

But, if you answered #2, you are a gullible American emailer. Shame on you.

"Oh," you may say, "How DARE you insult me like that!?"

Well, I dare. Because I'm really fed up with the junk you forward. Apparently, no one ever taught you the rules of email forwardings. If you have ever received an email like the above and without taking a moment to look into the validity of it, sent it on to everyone in your address book, as is, there's a few things you need to know.



The 3 Simple Rules Of Email Forwarding


1. Always confirm the validity of what you are forwarding. As previously mentioned Snopes is a great source for verification. Unless you actually enjoy looking like a complete gullible fool once people start replying to you saying what you sent them is bogus. If it is a joke, ask yourself, "Is this joke THAT incredibly hilarious that everyone in my email address book will die without it?" Odds are, it's not.

2. Learn how to use Blind Send - or Blind Carbon Copy. Abbreviated as BCC. If you MUST forward something to numerous people, ALWAYS use blind send. Why? Because when you don't, and you just click on every address in your book, you are transmitting all of their email addresses to countless other people. That is not only rude, it is unsafe. Spammers love getting these emails. Makes it a lot easier for them to add you and your friends email addresses to their lists. Plus, no one likes to have to scroll through line after line after line of other peoples email addresses to get to the actual message. To not use Blind Send when forwarding is the single most inconsiderate thing you can do with an email. It says you could care less about the privacy of the people you are forwarding it to.

3. Learn how to Cut & Paste. If you absolutely MUST forward every single joke or threat to society that comes to your inbox to everyone in your email address book, cut the joke out of all the other stuff in the email, which means the miles of other peoples email addresses and the line after line of the "You gotta read this!" or "This is great!" stuff. Then, paste just the joke alone into a new email so it's clean. Then, see Rule #2.



Real simple.

I've heard people say time and time again, "Yeah, Uncle Bob, he is constantly sending me forwarded jokes and stuff and well, they're just not funny. It's like he forwards every single thing he gets. It's constant and it's driving me crazy."

Are you an Uncle Bob? If you are, please, cut that shit out. People don't want it. It clogs up their inbox and after you've gained a reputation as a chronic forwarder, people will begin to delete everything that comes from your email address. Most folks have trouble saying, "Please, stop forwarding everything you get to me." And at worst, they simply block your email altogether.

Don't be an Uncle Bob.
