i am being bombarded with crap like this today

[movie_girl99]

this is the second e-mail today like this. They are coming out of the woodwork:


To my friends and family: Just forwarding this on.


What I have seen since Katrina:

The poor and the wealthy hurt by the storm

Black, white, Hispanic, oriental and Indian all hurt by the storm.

Christian people giving, giving, giving.

Churches going all out to minister in Jesus' name

Neighbors going door to door helping one another

Thugs and hoodlums going door to door looking for someone vulnerable.

Ice and water being fought over as police tried to keep the peace.

People coming up from New Orleans taking over empty houses because shelters are full

Out of town volunteers coming with food and staying for now a week still serving it.

The Churches all over this part of the country doing what Christians do in a crisis.

Fema doing a wonderful job in getting help to us

The Red Cross doing a great job in the shelters

The Salvation Army doing a great job in the community

Four Hundred crewman from everywhere bring back the power to our homes, churches and businesses.

Lines at service stations a block to a mile long

National Guardsman patrolling the streets of Mccomb along with Kentucky policemen protecting us from the hoodlums and thugs of McComb, Pike County and New Orleans (the most dangerous city in the world before Katrina.)

Drug dealers working outside shelters

Doctors, nurses and other hospital personnel working tirelessly, evening sleeping the hospital to do the job God called them to do.



WHAT I HAVE NOT SEEN:

The ACLU setting up a feeding line.

People for the American Way helping in the shelters

The NAACP doing any work whatsoever The American Atheist organization serving meals in the shelters.

Jesse Jackson directing traffic at the gas stations



I could go on but you get my message. Its the Christian people with love and compassion who do the work. The gripers in Congress should come on down and get in line to pass the water and the ice. Are you listening Hillary, Chuck, Teddy, and all the sorry loafers we call Senators and Congressmen. They don't have a clue as to what this life is all about here on the gulf coast.



Boy, I feel better now.



David A. Millican

[marmar]

1. Oriental?

Really sophisticated and PC this emailer is!!!

:sarcasm:

[TahitiNut]

3. It was probably occidental.

:evilgrin:

[9119495]

9. well done smart-ass. Gave me a laugh.

[elehhhhna]

28. just say chinamen. they're just all really chinamen anyways.

[magnolia]

39. Maybe he meant...

...the oriental rugs that were damage in flood waters...LOL....

[TahitiNut]

2. Report the sender to the DEA. They're obviously hooked on meth.

:shrug:

[Jo March]

4. What a load of CRAPOLA! I hope you're emailing them back

David A. Millican can shove it up his millican. That's his real name, I'm sure.

Here's what I'd say:

I've seen Christians saying that the folks in New Orleans deserve to die because they are sinners, so don't say that all Christians are behaving the way Christ would have them behave.

The NAACP has set up command centers in 3 states and has helped over 1200 people so far:

http://www.naacp.org/news/2005/2005-09-08-2.html

Researching the others.

This is CRAP. If you don't want to respond, send the email to me and I DAMN sure will respond!!!!!

[movie_girl99]

18. this was my reply

As far as I know...the only ones being accused of Racism are the folks who failed to act days before knowing Katrina was a Cat 4 storm. If the same thing (which did happen in Florida) were to happen in the Hampton's or in other predominately white area I and many others doubt that asses would’ve been dragged the way they were in NO. Now we have a pretzeldent who gives a speech worthy of FDR or the Big Dog himself (Clinton) and people actually believe it. Where the hell is he going to get the kind of money he is promising? All of the sudden he's for big Government? Were already in hock to the Chinese and the Saudis and god knows who else and so our kids will be paying this sh*t off for decades to come. Then he says that he wants the citizens of NO to rebuild knowing that contracts were awarded to Halliburton and there will be no fair wages. I could go on but I’m getting pissed off. Don’t send me dung like this please. The people who write and send this sh*t probably haven't donated to KAtrina in any way shape or form but like to complain about others not doing so.

[Jo March]

27. I hate this kind of crap - Christians aren't supposed to BRAG

We are told not to brag about our works but to do them from the heart. We aren't going to get rewarded here on earth so we shouldn't stand up and say, "Oh, we are so good so look at us. We are so great. Look at us!"

Stuff like this burns me up! Ignorance is no excuse for this kind of mean-spirited crap that is going around.

No excuse!!

[movie_girl99]

33. i agree totally

you give for the sake of giving not for recognition.

[Zodiak]

34. Little quote from Jeebus

Blessed is he who is persecuted FOR RIGHTEOUSNESS SAKE, for his is the kindgom of heaven.

Or something like that....

We (the liberals) are being persecuted by Christians "for righteousness sake". Throw that in their face and watch them squirm.

[otohara]

5. Whew - What Terrible Writers

these people are!

[EstimatedProphet]

6. Is there a reason that the ACLU should be there?

Or People for the American Way? Or the other groups?

The groups listed as there are there because it's their job. He didn't see the John Birch Society there either-why not list them?

[Beetwasher]

23. Yeah, Where's The American Enterprise Inst? How About The Pope?

What's he doing? I Don't see him down there passing out ice. :eyes:

[YOY]

7. "The ACLU setting up a feeding line"

So the ACLU sets up feeding lines in times of emergency. I was under the impression that they were a legal entity.

By this chain of thought, why wasn't the Audubon Society there???

Maybe the logic train just stops near my house and not near theirs.

Sweet Cheeses, I hate fundies.

[HughMoran]

10. THe "logic train"

:)

I feel left out that I don't get crap emails like this

[MaineYooper]

8. if you care to respond to them,

point out that MoveOn, John Kerry, and several others made direct pleas (I got mine through e-mail) for donations to the Red Cross *on the day Katrina hit*, not three or four days later. I made my donation on Monday night, at which point, * and company had barely registered that there was a storm...

and "Fema doing a wonderful job in getting help to us"?!?!?!

the writer is clearly delusional.

[EstimatedProphet]

21. Nah, he's not delusional

FEMA did a great job of helping rich white people and their SUV's.

[ck4829]

11. What about the 'christian' Groups that do nothing but blame, blame, blame?

[Jo March]

12. Moveon.org has started KatrinaHousing.org

http://www.hurricanehousing.org/

Folks can offer up housing to the displaced. "Hurricane Katrina has left hundreds of thousands of people homeless. But thousands of people throughout the region are stepping up to offer
free shelter to those in need. 265,511 beds volunteered so far!"

Shove that in your millican, David!!

[comsymp]

14. And let's not forget Michael Moore

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=104x4800863

[Jo March]

24. Thanks! Of course, we ALL know that MM hates America

Hates America for our freedoms, I believe.

;)

[meegbear]

13. WHAT I HAVE NOT SEEN:

The ACLJ setting up a feeding line.

Concerned Women of America helping in the shelters

Project 21 doing any work whatsoever

The Moral Majority organization serving meals in the shelters.

Armstrong Williams directing traffic at the gas stations



I could go on but you get my message. Its the Christian people with love and compassion who do the work. The gripers in Congress should come on down and get in line to pass the water and the ice. Are you listening Hassart, Frist, Santorum, and all the sorry loafers we call Senators and Congressmen. They don't have a clue as to what this life is all about here on the gulf coast.



Boy, I feel better now.



meegbear

[Jo March]

15. meegbear, you are priceless!

Fight crap with the truth! It usually shuts them up.

I love your post. It made me smile :) and believe me, I was pretty mad!

[KyndCulture]

16. I think you should inform this dumbass

about Michael Moore and Camp Covington...

[crispini]

17. Send them

www.hurricanehousing.org (set up by MoveOn.org)

the AirAmerica Radio public voice mail http://www.airamericaradio.com/

etc etc etc.

[karlrschneider]

19. A bigtime fundy idiot. Here's some info:

[Jo March]

20. Planned Parenthood is stepping up to the plate

"Planned Parenthood clinics in the states of Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, and in other affected areas, are doing everything possible to attend to the needs of patients in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. Help the surviving Planned Parenthood affiliates and health centers in these states remain open to serve patients that are most in need at this critical time. Your tax-deductible contribution will help Planned Parenthood affiliates and health centers in Louisiana, Alabama, Mississippi, and in other affected areas. 100% of your gift will go directly to the Planned Parenthood affiliates and health centers in that region so that they can serve women and families who have nowhere else to turn."

[Terran]

22. Yep, FEMA doing a great job

Tell your correspondent about those trucks loaded with ice being sent all over the damn country *except* to where they were needed. Tell him about how Chertoff waited 36 hours before he bothered to do anything. Tell himbaout the millions of people who have donated money without bothering to bring "god" into it.

[pitohui]

25. just block email from ppl like that

you could hit "reply all" explaining that anyone who sends any more hate email will be blocked & if they want to communicate they will have to call you long distance in future & maybe you'll pick up the phone

maybe the answering machine will

you'd be amazed at how a clear policy can clear out yr inbox

block block block anyone who sends bulk email

[cmd]

26. Message refused

This computer has been programmed to identify and return to sender all bullshit.

(my new response to these messages)

[Liberal In Texas]

29. Just for ONE...refer them to Michael Moore's site. He and Vets for Peace

have been on the ground in NO since the beginning.

Tell a lie long enough and it becomes the truth. It's the RW way.

[Coexist]

30. here's some stuff to send back to them.

http://www.michaelmoore.com/
"Hurricane Katrina Relief:
Over 100 tons of food, clothing, medical supplies, and generators delivered; countless FEMA applicants walked through process on mobile internet facility; six families reunited; two dogs returned to their owners..."

http://usliberals.about.com/b/a/202095.htm
"Al Gore Quietly Funded, Facilitated Mercy Mission in New Orleans
In case you missed this AP story (via CNN) from last Saturday, " Al Gore helped airlift some 270 Katrina evacuees on two private charters from New Orleans, acting at the urging of a doctor who saved the life of the former vice president's son."

http://www.atheists.org/
"MERICAN ATHEISTS urges all fellow nonbelievers to contribute to the rescue and other humanitarian efforts in the devastating wake of Hurricane Katrina.

A number of secular, non-religious aid organizations are active in this relief campaign. They do not incorporate a religious message in their operations, nor do they proselytize to those in need."
If you have been displaced by the Hurricane Katrina tragedy and need employment, and are currently in the Houston, Texas area, Gary may be able to help! His is a family (all proud Atheists) business. He needs a quality bench jeweler for manufacturing and repair. Please be fluent in English and a nonsmoker. Contact Gary"

http://www.naacp.org/news/2005/2005-09-02.html
"AACP Mobilizes Members, Businesses for Katrina Disaster Relief
Directs branches to set up command centers to offer assistance; Calls on government agencies to use all resources to help victims of Hurricane Katrina"

[movie_girl99]

31. this is great....thanks for the useful info

in fighting these lunatics.

[TallahasseeGrannie]

32. Well isn't this just special?

What a self-satisfied smug chump this fellow is.

[zbdent]

35. "I didn't see your soul in the posting . . ."

Hate monger . . .

[Horse with no Name]

36. One of the reasons that "SOME" of the Christian churches are lined up

at the trough, is because Bush is giving them money.
It's not because of love of man, it's the love of dollar.
Where's the logic in this?

[KansDem]

44. "The Churches all over this part of the country doing what Christians do"

Great! All Christians should do what Christians do. Just get the hell out of politics and do it...

[The Sleeper]

37. Dear David....

Fuck Off

[GreenPartyVoter]

38. What a sick letter. And just because they have not seen those groups

does not mean they aren't out there.

And by the by, Jesse Jackson is a minister himself.

And I am SURE there are many non-Christian religious groups out there as well.

Somebody needs a reality check if he wants to use Katrina as a reason to say that Christians are better than everyone else.

[charlie]

40. Meh

Didn't see the AEI there, either. Nor the Discovery Institute. Or the KKK. Didn't see Falwell directing traffic.

If "credit" is that important, some religious charities are getting "attaboy Christians!" off of my donations, because I didn't run to the phonebook looking for "atheist" charities first.

Overweening dumbass.

[progressivebydesign]

41. Mr. Millican hasn't a CLUE about Jesus and his teachings!!

If he thinks that pointing ALL of his charity and those of his fellow followers, and expecting some sort of pat on the back.. if he believes that preaching hate and peddling rumours about people of other races, then he is a pig. A godless pig. Anyone who uses their so-called Christanity as a bat to wield against others, is a pig. Fuck him.

NAACP? Hmmm.. well they have been raising money to help evacuees assimilate in their new surroundings. How does that asshole KNOW what athiests are doing? Do they need to wear a bit A on their shirts?

Most of the people I know that volunteer for the very things he's talking about ARE LIBERALS. Unless it's part of a church project, most of the day to day employees and volunteers serving the VERY PEOPLE HE'S INSULTING, are liberals.

He knows nothing of Jesus. He's a partisan pig.

[Sandpiper]

42. Matthew 6: 1-2: Jesus weighs in on grandstanding

1 Take heed that ye do not your alms before men, to be seen of them: otherwise ye have no reward of your Father which is in heaven.

2 Therefore when thou doest thine alms, do not sound a trumpet before thee, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may have glory of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.

[tom_paine]

43. Of course you are. The War Against the American People is unrelenting

After the briefest of hiatuses, brought on by the curshing reality of Katrina and the criminal negligence of the response, the Mighty Wurlitzer is beginning it's Nazi-like counteroffensive against reason and decency.

It was only a matter of time and there are more than enough Bushevik Sturmtruppen still ready and willing to be used as viral carriers (the Virus of Orwellian NewSpeak) for it to work.

[Karenina]

45. The demonization has begun.

Racism is the lynch-pin. We can begin talking economics once poor whites realize how badly they are getting punked in clinging to their racial identification with the oppressor. Numbers of the enlightened are needed now.
