My older Jewish relatives are getting the chain emails about Obama being Muslim and having shady connections to his money.
My other Jewish friend says his relatives are not only getting these but also DVDs in the mail about terrorism and Israel.
I traced one of the emails back to an Evangelical Ministry. These emails are spread by a known anti-semite.
What to do on a bigger scale than just harrassing my parents to stop reading them? I want to kick somebody's ass!

Re: My older relatives are being harassed by McCain supporters
Tue, October 21, 2008 - 7:38 AMHave you reported it to their local Democratic party headquarters or Obama HQ? If these groups are actually impeding the voting process (like trying to tell your loved ones to vote on the wrong day or at the wrong place) that is illegal.
Since you have the goods on these idiots, why not start an e-mail chain of your own? Put in what you have found about the source of the messages and DVDs, and send it to family and friends. Stay polite and stick to the facts. -

Re: My older relatives are being harassed by McCain supporters
Tue, October 21, 2008 - 1:49 PMI have started a chain and rec'd one 'take me off your list' and another 'thank you'.
I don't think the emails are illegal, nothing to do with voting details... pretending to be a 'concerned citizen' out there to 'expose the evil among us'.
The story of the DVDs came from my other Jewish friend so I have no first hand knowledge.

Re: My older relatives are being harassed by McCain supporters
Tue, October 21, 2008 - 4:30 PMConsidering that the Republicans have pursued a foreign policy that endangers Israel and have a cultural agenda that endangers the religious freedom and tolerance that Jewish-Americans depend upon, I find it morally reprehensible that they are using rumor-mongering and to misdirect concerns about anti-Semitism in order to turn a traditionally Democratic voting block. The Republicans have little to offer Jewish-Americans and the strategy they are using in order to appeal for our vote just demonstrates the contempt they have for us both as Jews and as Americans.
They might not be anti-Semites, but they certainly aren't showing themselves to be good friends and neighbors. -

Re: My older relatives are being harassed by McCain supporters
Wed, October 22, 2008 - 11:43 AMThey are using Jews as a tool. Just as they used evangelical Christians as a tool in the 1980s and 1990s. The GOP made all sorts of promises to those guys, with no intentions of really following through. Many strategists are convinced that people act in predictable manners, expecially when afraid.
The national GOP is ready and willing to lie to people to get them to vote out of fear, rather than empower them. They are like the person who convinces you to go to bed with them by promising the moon and stars, and then "loses" your phone number the next day.
They have nothing left other than fear. And they know it.
(Please note I said "National GOP". I have many good friends who are classic conservatives, not neo-cons, who are alarmed and disappointed at the path the national party has taken. I agree with them on that account.) -

Re: My older relatives are being harassed by McCain supporters
Sat, October 25, 2008 - 7:09 AMThe religious-right faction of the GOP has been pushing for school prayer and creationism in the class room since the Reagan era. That sort of walking all over the establishment clause is definitely not good for Jewish-Americans.
Just to clarify terminology, "neo-Conservatives" tend to be secularists and push for a militarily aggressive foreign policy and free markets and tend to buy into the whole "clash of civilizations" ideology.

Re: My older relatives are being harassed by McCain supporters
Thu, October 23, 2008 - 2:58 PMI grew up near fort knox , kentucky,,,we were the only jewish family there ( my dad was a physicist and worked on some laser beam )
I learned not to tell them I was jewish cause those fundamentalists get double points for heaven, sort of like a bounty for every jew they get to attend their church,,,then someone found out I was born in israel, and its sort of like scrabble where the points get tripled,,,
then I told them animals and trees have spirits,,,so then i was condemned as a witch,,,and some called me an anti-christ,,,
the best thing we can counter them with is to send them
the idiots guide to masturbation,,,they can't multi-task and then they'll leave your relatives alone

Probably the best choice, but ...

OK, send him this link
www.barackaspresident.com/
and then have your friends send him that song in attachments to their e-mails, until it keeps echoing in his ears, like one of those commercial jingles some people say they can't get out of their heads.
