Dumbass relatives

My mother has a younger brother. He's 68. He goes to an independent Pentecostal church. He is a Republican. He discovered email about 10 years ago

Good for you.

I have had similar issues with the conservatives in my family. The Deliberate Reply All is an excellent tool in that fight. I finally had one brother decide that he never wanted to hear from me again. I consider that a serious win!

Thanks for the Tisdale letter. It gives an explanation to the convuluted hatred and fear aimed to Obama.

I don't discuss politics with my brother because I might have to kill him. I have decided not to discuss politics with most everyone because I can't stand the emotional drain.

If they were dumb enough to vote for W twice, you won't be able to change their little pea brains anyway.

That is dead right!!

Are you sure your uncle and my mom aren't related?

My family's been in rare form for this election season.
It's been myself & 1 aunt vs. my mom & her 3 other siblings.
I like to think Alice & I got through to at least a couple of them because my mom decided to pull out her last-resort sobbing fit.

Good for you - give 'im what-fer!

I might reply with this:

I swear, bullshit forwards are a big pet peeve of mine. Grrrrr. If people would only do a quick googlesearch before sending things out - typing in "obama antichrist" returns that snopes url at the top of the list of results.

See you Monday night?
:-)

P.S.

Sometimes I let my irritation take control - I do a reply all, and then go on to harvest email addresses from the body of the message.

Muahahahaha!

That's just when I have a lot of extra time and was already feeling grumpy to begin with. ;-)
