OK, I must admit that I've gotten a little bit addicted to monitoring the Glenn Beck listener email list for the Denton Area. It's a damned disappointing day when the local cranks can't come up with at least one new conspiracy theory about ways that Obama/ACORN/Liberals/Nancy Pelosi/ACLU are trying to "destroy America".
Here's today's gem:

Subject: Fw: Subject: HB 1288 passed
You just spent $20,000,000 to move members/supporters of Hamas, a terrorist organization, to the United States ; housing, food, the whole enchilada.
HB 1388 PASSED
Whether you are an Obama fan, or not, EVERYONE IN THE U. S. needs to know....
Something happened.... H.R. 1388 was passed, behind our backs. You may want to read about it.. It wasn't mentioned on the news.. just went by on the ticker tape at the bottom of the CNN
screen.
Obama funds $20M in tax payer dollars to immigrate Hamas Refugees to the USA . This is the news that didn't make the headlines...
By executive order, President Barack Obama has ordered the expenditure of $20.3 million in "migration assistance" to the Palestinian refugees and "conflict victims" in Gaza .
The "presidential determination", which allows hundreds of thousands of Palestinians with ties to Hamas to resettle in the United States , was signed and appeared in the Federal Register.
Few on Capitol Hill, or in the media, took note that the order provides a free ticket replete with housing and food allowances to individuals who have displayed their overwhelming support to the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) in the parliamentary election of January 2006.
Let's review....itemized list of some of Barack Obama ' s most recent actions since his inauguration:
His first call to any head of state, as president, was to Mahmoud Abbas, leader of Fatah party in the Palestinian territory.
His first one-on-one television interview with any news organization was with Al Arabia television.
His first executive order was to fund/facilitate abortion(s) not just here within the U. S. , but within the world, using U. S. tax payer funds.
He ordered Guantanamo Bay closed and all military trials of detainees halted.
He ordered overseas CIA interrogation centers closed.
He withdrew all charges against the masterminds behind the USS Cole and the "terror attack" on 9/11.
Now we learn that he is allowing hundreds of thousands of Palestinian refuges to move to, and live in, the US at American taxpayer expense.
These important, and insightful, issues are being "lost" in the blinding bail-outs and "stimulation" packages.

PLEASE PASS THIS ON... AMERICA NEEDS TO KNOW
WE are losing this country at a rapid pace.
I wonder why it is that right wing loonies are so apt to A) Always jump to the absolute worst conclusion about anything, and B) Believe exactly what other wingnuts tell them through email?
At any rate, this was my response:

I thought you might find this interesting:

Politifact Truth-o-meter says "Pants on Fire":

Doesn't that feel better? All safe now - no Hamas coming to get you.
Question is, will you stand corrected and try to stop the rumor, or does the end justify the means when it comes to slandering the president?

I suppose they'll probably come back and say that all 3 of those sources as well as their sources are just "biased" or that somehow Obama "got to them". Of course if Obama "got to them" then one would wonder how Obama didn't "get to" the Federal Register, which posted the original order that these folks misinterpreted?
But of course, that would be logic. |
