A Facebook friend posted a note the other day that included the text of a chain letter.

I encourage you to go look at the letter, but to ignore its advice to “‘Beware of the enemy from within’!!!”

It’s hard to believe that anyone would truly pay attention to such blatant bullshit, but, surprisingly, they do.

Here are the responses:

Person 1:

Wow…and no matter how many people vote McCain, I have a feeling Obama will be our next President despite everything.

All i can say is if our country decides to elect him as president…..i fear the worst is yet to come. A smooth talker is quick to pull the wool over your eyes and make you believe what they want you to believe……

Person 2:

I agree with you [original poster]!!! no doubt…beware of the enemy within!! if you can not salute the American flag or say Pledge of Allegiance you have no RIGHT to be MY president of the United States period!!!!!! Sorry ass people will find out if they elect his sorry ass to be our next President of OUR United States!

Person 3:

The thing that worries me the most… is that most American people can not see this. They will not research. They will only do what they are told to do. Its a shame really. A crying shame.

I have no problem with people not liking or supporting Barack Obama — if they have legitimate reasons (and there are plenty). It’s this kind of garbage that is an embarrassment to our electoral system. Again, thanks, Joe, for representing the conservative viewpoint with passion and reason.
