"Hilarious exchange via email. Earlier this week both my right-wing dad and my right-wing uncle sent me the same right-wing forward. As is typical, I googled a single 5-word stretch and discovered it was long ago debunked at snopes. I wrote a short retort, and by accident I hit 'reply all' instead of 'reply' -- and then got a vicious right-wing hate-mail from one of my uncle's pals who was accidentally cc:ed on my debunking. CRAZY! The guy goes OFF on snopes and brings up gay sex no fewer than 5 times, then sent it back out to my uncle, who passed it along to my right-wing dad, who then sent it to my sisters & brother.
It's a weird circle of right-wing craziness!"
"Start at the bottom."

Alright, Micah, fess up: is this real? As must as I'd love to believe it, I'm having a lot of trouble believing anyone could have written all this and meant it.
If its not, I commend you for the satire. If it is, my sympathies for what must be an especially tough right wing dad forwarding situation.
Either way, thanks for sharing.
Wow Micha, I guess it's too much to ask that your dad and uncle might have seen the virulent reaction from their "friends" and had a few words with them in your defense. Seeing as your their son/nephew and all.
The response underscores who these right wingers really are; uninformed, hateful, cowards.
Uninformed and hateful is readily apparant. What makes them cowards is that some how it is okay for them to pass this garbage around, but it is not okay for anyone to respond in contradiction.
They likely don't even expect a contradictory response. Mainly they think they are protected in a little interweb bubble where they are free to be ignorant and hateful without any challenge or consequence. This is cowardly.
This reminds me of a similar incident when my mom first got suckered into these right wing emails. Out of the blue she sent me a racist email entitled "Someone Had to Say it!!!"**.
I composed a thoughtful, informed response. I had already decided I'd reply to everyone on the list so I wanted to make sure that I was calling out only the author of the email as well as making clear I am a white male writing my response. There was no way anyone who read that could have thought I was not a white male or mistaken that I was railing against them rather than the author.
When my mom and I finally spoke, first I found that she did not agree withe the email and because she was new to the internet, did nt understand that if you forward something w/o adding your own comment, it is assumed you agree with it.
Second, apparently I had frightened her little group of friends. They thought I was a black guy and that I was coming to their house.
They were so afraid that somebody would talk back that they didn't fully read or comprehend what I had written. Instead they reacted with fear. Which is how right wingers are controlled and kept in line, and why they believe these stupid emails. They are weak and fearful.
Thanks for sharing Micah
Outstanding. Made my week. "Truth has a well-known liberal bias."
Jeez, dude, are you sure you're not adopted?
I have a lot of trouble understanding the mindset of a person who, after receiving an email where someone physically threatens their son over a political disagreement, forwards that threat on to the rest of the family with a laudatory remark. "Look, kids, someone thinks your brother is a homosexual who needs to be curbstomped! Good on 'im!"
What the hell? Seriously -- what the hell?
Wow... your dad is a dick.
I love how "Z" holds up the character of Al Bundy as the illustration of ignorance. Al Bundy is a Rhodes scholar compared to this jerkoff.
I'm gay and if my right wing ignoramus infested Catholic family ever sent me anything like this I would show up at their door and kick their ass. Seriously. I used to get forwards like this from my older brother until I politely told him he was an absolute moron and an utter embarrassment to me. Then he stopped.
I know they probably talk this way about me behind my back. What a comfort.
Really, this one has it all.
* product placement (Mossberg)
* lurid fantasies of castration by a female, a pre-pubscent one at that, WITH a shotgun.
* illegal immigrants
* sidesteps issues of leaving the child at home alone, something they usually complain about
* mentions rape ('potential' child rape) - by illegal immigrants
My this abounds with unintentional psycho-sexual fucked-up-ness!
