Anti-war email spammer
Earlier today, I rec’d several consecutive emails from an anti-war group which I obviously did not sign up for. I emailed the person who sent them emails and asked them to please take me off their email list. This is the response I rec’d back:
You’re not on a mailing list. I sent you the information for you own education. Rest assured that I will not send you another thing. I just felt that your conservative blog might need some truth it was sadly lacking. If you are pro-troops than all troops should matter, not just the ones who are still in support of the war.
The voice of the soldier that now is opposed to the war or who has been screwed over after coming home has to represented even by the conservative press and bloggers. To deny them a voice because they oppose or have doubt about the war is narrow minded and disgraes their honor and service to country.
I stand up as a Republican and make the call for other conservatves and Republicans to tell the whole truth and facts, even if you don’t agree with it. After all it is a soldiers who served their country that are speaking out, not Cindy Sheehan or someone else you don’t like.
A growing number of decorated and honored vets are now standing upm and telling it like it is. Are you going to listen to them or ignore them and join in the slander and disparagement?
I will not send you any more interviews or voices of the soldier. I doubt you could handle the real truth that is out there. Some of the interviews I have conducted are with very pro-war, pro-Bush soldiers. They are just very upset that they are not getting heaslth care and proper treatment now that they are home.

Updated to add: I should note that the emails that I rec’d were of the anti-war “we shouldn’t be there” variety (the email above presented a distorted and incomplete picture of the content) .. one of them even spelled America with a “K”.

you could at least post their address as a gif or jpeg, that way they won’t get regular spam thanks to you.
Your concern for a spammer is touching. If he doesn’t mind sending spam my way, then he should expect to get it back “andrew”.
Are they starting that stuff again already? I was getting tons of garbage like that during the month or so running up to the 2004 election. I was always willing to hit “reply all” and slam back a rant of my own on the same subject. Usually, they would either stop sending, or take me off their list… either of which suited me just fine.
Note the claim to be a Republican and conservative… the antiwar lefties have been using that tactic for a while now.
There literally is no lie so venal or blatant or nonseniscal that they will not shamelessly use it (and this one is small potatoes compared to their usual litany). Of course there are Republicans and conservatives who oppose the war – but they don’t sound like the frothing moonbats. That’s what these clowns can never disguise.
Spelling America with a “K” – yeah, like that isn’t a dead giveaway. But then, so is the “you can’t handle the real truth” line.
Speaking as a progressive/liberal Democrat, that post is embarrassing. It sounds like something out of Berkeley in the 60’s.
No way he’s a conservative Republican.

Your post sounds like regurgitated Abbie Hoffman/Tom Hayden bloviated Berkeley excrement, SisterToldjah.
If the Left actually had any viable, believeable “soldiers” speaking out against the war. Wouldn’t those “soldiers’” faces and “talking points” be plasters all over CNN, the Alphabet Channels, WaPo, Slimes and any other dregs of the Lame Stream Media?????
I haven’t seen any.
Has anyone else?
Jack.
Well the atrocious spelling and appalling grammar alone should be sufficient to convince you that it’s actually from a right-wingnut.

Steve, people on the right use the exact same tactics to attack those on the left, so don’t get all high and mighty about it. “I used to be a Democrat… but I think Bush’s tax cuts are good for the economy” or “I’m Independent, but let me say this about tort reform…” are frequent ploys that are used as a premise to unleash a stream of right wing propaganda quite often coughed up from an orifice of Rush Limbaugh that happens not to be his mouth.
This b.s. comes from both sides and no one should be surprised by that.
I think it’s kind of pathetic when people resort to such ham-fisted subterfuge. Believe me, it’s equally transparent and blatantly obvious when FReepers (for lack of a better term) pretend to be liberals.
It seems there is plenty of stupidity to go around the whole political spectrum.
Well, I certainly appreciate that you copied his e-mail for us without running it through the spell-checker first!
But, consider it a compliment, Sis! Your blog got it, and mine didn’t; that tells you that you are having traffic and influence.
Jack asked:
Sis can answer this one for us: did the e-mails you received credit the soldiers’ complaints to any actual people, or were they all anonymous?
Don’t ya just LOVE it when the leftists start off with “I’m a Republican” or “I voted for Bush” and then slide into their DU/MoveOn/Moonbat talking points? Starting off your comments with a lie just makes everything that follows just sooo credible doesn’t it?
Uh, if you had even done the least bit of investigation, you’d know that Jay Shaft is a respected member of the media. This is what’s wrong with blogs.
