Help! Is there a response to right wing email?

[Changenow]

Almost every assertion in this email is an outright lie, or grossly misleading. I assume it is viral, so I'm wondering if there is a well-sourced response I can use as a reply.

1. I email them a virus.

That usually takes care of those who forward me such filth.

Wipe out their computers.

[Changenow]

3. No I want an answer

that will piss him off as much as this does me.

11. A virus that wipes them out is an answer.

They are filth and need to be scrubbed from the system.

2. Hit reply all and send them this

Why do Republicans always have to lie, to try and win an election? Is their way so bad and their ideas so wrong, that lying is the only way? It's crystal clear that the Republicans can't win honestly.

Here is a list of all the Republican lies about Obama.

7. With President Clinton, it was the Mena airstrip/drug connection....

this is nothing new.....

I just hit a "reply all" with the Snopes link and the reminder that unless you put the tinfoil shiny-side out, it doesn't work....

8. we all know Obama was still paying off student loans until a year or so ago........

I would ignore that shit.

9. Honestly, the people that spread this garbage will not be moved by anythign you reply.

These people have no fucking sense. Any argument you make will be comprised of too many facts and logic for their tiny brains to comprehend and they will come back with the brilliant retort of, "Yeah, but his name is Hussein!"

Let it go. Ain't worth your time.

10. There IS a response. Delete.

Why waste your attention on something so stupidly wrong that logic cannot begin to unravel it? When the target audience of a missive is the dumbest Americans, you're safe just ignoring it.
