A modest proposal to counter the email spam machine

[spinbaby]

If you're like me, you're being buried under a sea of Freeper cut-and-paste email spam accusing Obama of being a terrorist flag-burning Nazi with a secret demon army. Today I discovered that we have a forum in DU to help counter this obnoxious stuff:

How about we put the Propaganda Debunking Group in a more obvious place so that those of us that need it can find it? I have a feeling this will be a very important forum between now and November.

1. Thanks for posting.

I proposed the group quite a while ago, and it has attracted a few dedicated posters, but it's always beneficial to remind everyone of its existence.

If past reminders are any indication, this will turn into an "I didn't know that group existed" thread. :)

4. See?

I knew that would happen. :)

5. I would never have found it

If not for a link in another thread, I never would have found this group. It needs to be somewhere front and center.

3. I didn't know about that either. This could be a most useful resource.

I can't say that I trust snopesDotCom 100%. I think I will visit this forum every time I see one of these emails from now on. Thanks for the info!

6. Thanks for the heads up

I didn't know about that group. I do find myself using Snopes and Fightthesmears.com on a regular basis. This will be another good resource.

7. Good grief...I just looked at some of the filth that they're debunking in there...ech

We need to be countering this stuff. Like yesterday.
