I should post some of the right-wing nonsense I get. February 3, 2012 10:06 pm bowser

Unfortunately, I’ve deleted it all, but I’ll start saving some.  One of the milder things I got was an email saying that every American should get a hunting license.  It claimed that after Pearl Harbor the Japanese wanted to invade the American mainland.  Their Emperor as well as high ranking generals and admirals were ready to go until some junior officers pointed out that Americans were armed, that all of them had guns for hunting, were sharpshooters and it would be folly.  The Japanese backed off.

Another was that Obama was unknown before he ran for Senator, that none of his classmates had ever heard of him, that he had not school records, he didn’t exist.  I sent this person a picture of him at Harvard as head of the Law Review and asked she forward it to all to whom she had sent her original email.  Nothing.

There’ll be more.  I’ll save them.
