Has anyone received anti-Hillary spam?
The anti-Obama spam is well-known, ranging from the Muslim conspiracy theories, to the misinformation regarding his church, and also the inaccurate claim that he refuses to state the pledge of allegiance, etc.

There have been so many anti-Obama spam e-mails, but I haven't personally received or heard of an anti-Hillary spam email.

Am I ignorant of the anti-Hillary e-mails or do they not exist?

5. Same here. I don't even see that it's being caught by my spam filter.
I received one a few weeks ago from a friend, but I emailed it back with a snopes reference and they haven't forwarded any more of them.

3. other than the shit posted on DU
yeah, I've gotten a few, but I just delete without reading. Mainly Vince Foster's "murder", her being a lesbian, something about working with Communism or Castro or something (all gleaned from the subject line before I delete, delete, delete)

6. Hmmm, interesting.
I haven't gotten these. These were recent? (i.e. for this election)

Thanks for making me aware of them.

7. I meant more recently, pertaining to this election.
I'm aware of the spam from back in the day, but I haven't gotten anything in a long while.

14. Well, I did read the link that you originally provided, but those were old examples...
Also, how many of them were spam e-mails as opposed to rumor?

18. That's why I provided more recent ones that are emails. Christ its like talking to a brick wall.
Edited on Fri Feb-08-08 01:23 PM by rinsd
I provide a link to snopes which has quite a few examples of spam email over the years that are anti Hillary, anti Clinton.

You balk that they are old.

Since you seemed incapable of locating them by scrolling down the page, I pointed out several examples on the list (the one you claimed to have read) which were from 2007(even Jan 2008) as collected by snopes and provide links to several with dates.

Now, you ask me how I know they are spam email instead of just rumors when the spam emails are right there for you to read.

So is the ignorance willful?

20. We differ on what is "recent". Only one of those was from after the primaries began.
But yes, I now see the "collected by e-mail" designation. I guess that means a spam e-mail, rather than something that somebody heard (on talk-radio for example) and e-mailed to them.

Anyhow, thanks for the exaggerated hostility.

One is even from Jan 2008.

10. not recently but in the 90's always. the *only* political spam I
have received recently has been the Obama spam which is strange because I never get sent spam by anybody, ever, but somebody felt the need to send me THIS obama crap. I was stunned to receive it. I got nasty with the sender even though I don't like Obama.

13. Well, isn't that interesting. No anti-Hillary spam. I guess Obama just operates differently.

15. Oh yeah!
I get tons of it. Most of it is supposed to be "humor." It's been on the uptick lately, although I don't think I've gotten one in the last week or so.

Hilarious - Not!
