Hutaree anger stoked by phony baloney email

[charlie]

Another idiot LOSES because she was too lazy to use the Web that delivered her email to fact check the email.

"HUGHH111 URGENT!!! Tina Stone is dumber than dryer lint! SEND THIS TO EVERYONE YOU KNOW!!!!!"

A member of the Hutaree militia charged with federal crimes was upset because she thought that President Barack Obama had signed into law this month a bill that would spend $20 billion to help the terrorist group Hamas settle in the U.S.

There was never any such legislation, but Tina Stone believed it was the truth, according to her Facebook account.

"H.B. 1388 Passed.... It's bad news for us all," Tina Kelley, her maiden name, said on her Facebook page on March 19.

She then said in an update:

"I'm peeved,,, when people in this country is getting kicked out of there homes everyday and our government passes a bill to spend more then 20 billion dollars to bring Hamas here and supplies them with food and homes that just wrong."...

You'll never have to. They have keen noses for finding this stuff on their own.

2. Well, you can just see she has the look of a deep thinker -

Just the type of person I want determining the fate of my country.

3. Don't worry; Tina Stone will be all right

See, she's got this line on a commission for helping a former Nigerian minister move some money out of his country. She sent an initial payment of $542 to him to establish her bona fides, and the transfer will take place in the next 5-7 business days. What that Nigerian sap doesn't know is that Tina's gonna close the account the second the money hits. Shrewd, huh?

28. Good one!!

:rofl:

4. What a sweetheart.

:scared:

[Javaman]

5. there is no cure for the willfully stupid. However, prison comes to mind.

she has the look of "I wanted a revolution and all I got instead was prison time". Funny how that works.

dumbass.

6. In their defense, I didn't see anything about it on Snopes.com

Of course, they *could* have read the damn bill.

Or downloaded the bill and used "search."

[Blue Diadem]

11. factcheck.org has it.

[Ian David]

16. Maybe they thought it was Gaza, Ohio?

But you can't trust factcheck.org because it has the word "fact" in it, and only Liberals live in the fact-based community.

[csziggy]

21. There are a couple of variations of it on Snopes.com

http://www.snopes.com/politics/obama/palestinians.asp

http://www.snopes.com/politics/obama/give.asp

My Dad sent me this one a while back and I hooked him up to Snopes.com - and sent my response to "Reply All" which embarrassed him with some of his friends. Now he checks most of the crap he gets and forwards a lot fewer of them. I haven't completely changed his beliefs but at least he's doing some fact checking.

[DeschutesRiver]

26. I am not thinking that their "world" is based much in reality anyway

I mean, a lot of their beliefs are out of touch with reality, so I'm not thinking that doing some internet research before acting on their fantasies would be something they like to do.

Their photos were scary, and their ideas/perceptions of the world are scary. I am flat out glad the government nailed them before someone got killed.

7. Hollywood could not have a cast a better stereotypical

uneducated, willfully ignorant and belligerant fool.

[Javaman]

8. her anger wasn't stoked by the email, it was stoked by stupidity. nt

[lpbk2713]

9. She sounds like a longtime MENSA member.

A real Phi Beta Kappa.


Looks like one too.





(Where do they get these mouth breathers from?) :rofl:

[DevonRex]

13. Heh. She probably couldn't spell MENSA if she was reading it.

And OMG, Phi Beta Kappa is a furrin langwage. Can't have that in the USA. :rofl:

[Qutzupalotl]

23. What do her periods have to do with anything?

[DevonRex]

10. The stupid runs deep.

I wonder what that poor thing's IQ is. OTOH, my sisters all have really high IQs and they tend to believe a bunch of stupid stuff, too. They are teabaggers, after all.

[eleny]

12. And for that, they were planning on murdering police

[Mojeoux]

27. I think They Planned to Kill People who Attended the Funerals?

is this correct? Is it an exaggeration?

[eleny]

30. Where lots of police would attend joining the family and others

[Berry Cool]

14. Other things Tina Stone believes:

--if she forwards the message about poor little "Jessica Mydek" who is dying from cancer, the American Cancer Society will donate 3 cents to itself for every copy she forwards

--Applebee's is giving away $50 gift certificates for every email she forwards

--The Internet is undergoing its annual spring cleaning tomorrow, so she needs to disconnect her computer from it for the day

--Her bank account has large problem, is to be closing unless she should visit right away their Web site location and give them number of her account and of Social Security number also to confirm she is herself. Also her credit card too!! Please do not delay!!

--Brad Pitt just died from falling off a cliff

--Someone is creating "bonsai kittens"

15. Maybe they can use the "stupid" defense, sort of like the "Twinkie" defense.

[Blue Diadem]

17. Anyone ever heard of New Media Journal? That's where this originated.

as per factcheck:

20. Forget yelling "fire!" in a crowded theater

this Astroturf email stuff is more like throwing a match at a leaking gas main on a crowded city street.

It's not going to be stopped until these bastards get a high profile government person killed.

18. YouTube boob scorns sheep who don't stay informed

...known as Hamas, to resettle in the United States, was signed on January 27th and appeared in the FEDERAL REGISTER.

The Federal Register should be VERY IMPORTANT TO ALL YOU SHEEP OUT THERE who vote. Because THAT'S the book you SHOULD READ.

(pauses to glare)

*I* have the time to read it... and I work... and I work. I take the time to read this book because these are the laws you and me are gonna have to live by. These are gonna be the nooses when they tie it around your neck.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FEWIXHh3tC4

Commenters let him know it's not in the Federal Register and now he's a little... sheepish.

19. The U.S. low-hanging fruit disease: intellectual incuriosity, ignorance, hatred.

[frylock]

22. wow! she types just like i imagine she talks.

[Posteritatis]

29. Even by stupid-lies-about-the-bill standards that's pretty goddamned stupid

That actually dethrones my "favorite" claim that the bill mandates microchipping of US citizens (and only US citizens) to prevent them from receiving health care.

31. It was only a matter of time before one of these right wing chain emails led to something

Good thing tragedy was averted.
