I recently got an e-mail from my very conservative and Catholic uncle that was anti-Obama. The e-mail claimed to be based on fact and lead you to a website called www.snopes.com. When I went to the website to see if it is actually legitimate, it definitely was not considering that its tageline is "Snopes.com, Rumor has it." The e-mail is directed at people who value religion and national pride, condemning Obama for his "strong" affiliation with the Muslim religion. Some quotes from the e-mail include:
" 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."
"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."
"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!!!!"
As you can see from a few excerpts from the e-mail, it is completely ludicrous! I am actually slightly emberassed to admit that a family member sent it to me.) This is one of those propoganda tools that will probably have a great impact on uniformed voters because if this is all you know about Obama, you are definitely not going to support him. I mean, who wants a terrorist to run our country?
