Stupid rightwing email and my reply.

Subject: New Christmas Stamp
This is the most outrageous thing I have seen lately. Please don't buy this stamp.
CHRISTMAS STAMP
How ironic is this??!! They don't even believe in Christ and they're getting their own Christmas stamp, but don't dream of posting the ten commandments on federal property?
USPS New Stamp
If there is only one thing you forward today.....let it
be this!
REMEMBER the MUSLIM bombing of PanAm
Flight 103!
REMEMBER the MUSLIM bombing of the World
Trade Center in 1993!
REMEMBER the MUSLIM bombing of the Marine
barracks in Lebanon!
REMEMBER the MUSLIM bombing of the military
barracks in Saudi Arabia!
REMEMBER the MUSLIM bombing of the American
Embassies in Africa!
REMEMBER the MUSLIM bombing of the USS COLE!
REMEMBER the MUSLIM attack on 9/11/2001!
REMEMBER all the AMERICAN lives that were lost in those vicious MUSLIM attacks!
Now the United States Postal Service REMEMBERS and HONORS the
EID MUSLIM holiday season with a commemorative first class
holiday postage stamp.
REMEMBER to adamantly and vocally BOYCOTT this stamp
when purchasing your stamps at the post office.
To use this stamp would be a slap in the face to all those
AMERICANS who died at the hands of those whom this stamp honors.
REMEMBER to pass this along to every patriotic AMERICAN you know


And my reply all;

By using the logic implied in this email, I can conclude that because Adolf Hitler was Christan (Roman Catholic) and Josef Stalin was Christan ( Russian Orthodox) that all Christians are racist genocidal maniacs. And I for one will not stand idlely by while our government issues postage stamps honoring racist genocidal maniacs! Who's with me? Send this email to all on your list. We must act now to end this outrage! Please help stop the racist genocidal maniacal Christans!

5. Timothy McVeigh, David Koresh, Jim Jones, that yokel who bombed the

Olympics in 1996, forget his name. They were all Christians too.

7. Jebus, they're recirculating this tired thing?

When it first came out I was so amused by it I purposely got a book of the EID stamps just to piss them off. :evilgrin:

8. Maybe the stamp should be rigged to sense Muslims and

explode if handled by one of "them".

These righties are completly blinded by fear.

9. Total muslim killing

Petty change compared to Bush 650,000 Muslims killed in 4
years.

Each death is awful.

They are unaware that we have angered, demeaned, insulted, 1,449,426,377 Humans because of their religious Faith.

11. I worked (and still work) with several Muslims

and if I were a right-winger, I'd be amazed that my head was still attached to my body ... as it was, when a former coworker stopped in to see everybody, I was greeted with a great big warm hug ... and I know for certain that she is NOT a "touchy-feely" person, so it really meant a lot to me ...
