Remember that fear-mongering anti-Islam DVD? It's not just papers anymore...

[PermanentRevolution]

Yeah, I just got a copy in my mail today. Color me thrilled.

Any other swing-state residents getting this? I'm in FL.

[1corona4u]

1. No, don't take the paper....

[Hawkeye-X]

2. I hope you properly disposed of it..

I.E., called the Hazmat team to dispose of it..

3. Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, last week. nt

[PermanentRevolution]

6. I'm curious if anyone else got it mailed to them

I know a whole bunch of papers carried it, but I hadn't heard about a mailing campaign as well.

[AlinPA]

21. I have not heard of any mailings around here (W.PA).

[monmouth]

4. Got mine in the mail today too, gave it to the repug receptionist

for my building and asked her to "throw this crap away for me will ya hon?" She said it's pretty important stuff, I said "no, it's crap, trust me."

5. MoveOn needs to distribute a

Xtian Fundamentalist DVD. Eric Rudolph and all...

[MadrasT]

7. I got two! One in the Philadelphia Inquirer, one in the mail.

:woohoo: I can be twice as afraid of the terra-ists :woohoo:

[PermanentRevolution]

8. Aw, rats...

Serves me right for not getting a paper. Now I can only be scared once...

[gopbuster]

9. send it back with a note to cancel subscription n/t

[GoneOffShore]

10. the papers were paid to give it out - the same as

any other sort of advertising supplement.

[PermanentRevolution]

13. Yes, I know...

My point was that it's now apparently a direct-mailing campaign as well. I was just curious how widespread it is.

[A Brand New World]

11. Got mine today in Ohio. Went into the trash within 2 seconds.

Didn't even open the packaging.

12. Is the title of the DVD "Obsession?"

We got one of these in the mail today, Radical Islam's War Against The West. The return address is The Clarion Fund with a New York, NY return address. "As seen on CNN and Fox News by more than 20 million viewers worldwide." What is this and who/what is the Clarion Fund? We live in a suburb about 15 miles south of Pittsburgh, PA and we don't subscribe to any newspapers.

Is it recommended that this DVD be watched or shredded?

[PermanentRevolution]

15. That's the one.

I haven't watched it, but I probably will, in the interest of opposition research. The reaction from those who got it in the paper last week was that it's total propaganda.

19. Googled Clarion Fund

From The Islamic Workplace: September 17, 2008 "Dirty Politics and Swift Boat Scare Tactics from the Clarion Fund, the Obsession DVD Distributor" Source: The Popular Progressive Blog "Swift Boat Tactics from Clarion Fund Seem Designed to help McCain Campaign"

I will plaster an Obama sticker to both sides of the DVD and mail it back to The Clarion Fund!

16. I Do Believe The Answer Is "Shredded"

[Motown_Johnny]

14. You should say it gave your children nightmares, and sue their asses

[curious one]

17. If enough people cancel their subscription, newspapers will stop doing this.

[parasim]

18. Yup. I got one in the mail, too. But I'm also in FL.

[EC]

20. I got a copy of The Closer

and I love it...but no on the Obsession thingie, would throw it away...

On edit: instead of throwing it away, I'd mark it Refused and make the mailman take it back...

[oviedodem]

22. I got this in the mail but have not watched this yet.
