A chain email that "exposed" Snopes contains falsehoods. And in fact, the site is run by someone who has no political party affiliation, and his non-voting Canadian wife. A State Farm spokeswoman confirms what they reported about the Obama-baiting agent.

The problem is, that the other party is doing the same thing. The democrats talk about the republicans, and the republicans talk about the democrats. Truths are twisted every which way by either party to make their own agenda.
Either a person likes the politics of an issue, or they don't.
you and I part ways on this one. I don't agree that both parties do this. I get email after email after email from the right wing nuts all filled with the most outrageous lies (obama building fema camps, obama moving to take guns, obama hanging malcom x photo in lincoln bedroom) it is a constant drip of stuff that is simply made up and passed around. Please forward me any emails of this nature that you get from leftist groups as I don't get anything like that from the left and I am on lots of email lists. Yes the right and left both have their 'spin' - but the crap that comes from the right is far, far different. If they have to lie - they have no truth.
Beth...you are so right on! It's the same way for me. I almost never get e-mails falsely bashing the "right". I am simply amazed at how many people believe what is put in front of them without doing something so simple as "googling" for info! I've become known in my office as the "fact checker". Everbody sends me their e-mails to check, and 99% of the time they are false (just so you know, these are a variety of e-mails, not just political or Obama bashing--like the one about the bridge that spans Paris and Barcelona...hello, anybody looked at a map lately!). Goes to show how gullible people out there are (the sky is falling!). It reminds me of the Colorado bumper sticker I once saw..."if god said it, then i believe it, and that's that"...pretty much sums it up, eh?
Thanks for posting - whoever you are :) I agree w/you and hope you come back. If they have to lie to bring the other side down perhaps its because they have NOTHING to offer.
