This is my first post so be kind.
So, you've identified another Err America listener?
That brings their total audience to three.
I got that email this morning too. I just deleted it. If someone has to go to Air America for humor then they're a lost cause. Welcome to FR! :o)
Tell 'em that it's all true: there is a Bush/Oil conspiracy, their email/phone conversations are being recorded, etc. Then tell them that they should definitely leave the USA until it's safe for them to come back, but we don't know when that will be. Suggest they move to Cuba.
You can't pick your relatives, but you can ignore them. If the big bucks donors to Air America were to pull their funds, AA would fold immediately. They could not sustain themselves with ad revenue.
As Rush Limbaugh has pointed out many times, for humor to be funny, it has to have an element of truth to it. Democratic humor rarely has even the remotest truth in it.
simple minds.........simply amused....just ignore it
I have a left-wing wackjob female cousin in Durham, NC (Duke Univ grad), whom I've driven from the dinner table in tears with rebuts against her anti-Bush, anti-US Military, anti-Conservative rants, and now I just ignore her idiocy.
You can pick your friends; you can't pick your relatives.
Tell your cousin he was found on a door step.
Chuck it in the trash. It's not worth it to waste keyboard clicks and internet bandwidth with closed-minded individuals.
There are other stories posted within that thread as well. Quite a few articles come up if you use the FR search engine with the term "Air America".
I'd say something like 'I'll get back to you on a follow-up real soon, just getting everything ready for Reagan's birthday party today...' That should keep any more emails away.
I got an email, PING
I would briefly inform him that you've forwarded that e-mail to the NSA's Un-American Activities Surveillance Section, and that he should be hearing from them in a few days.
Ironically, Air America has to have their message delivered by spam e-mail so that someone hears it.
I'll give her an opportunity to reply to my email. If I don't hear from her in a few days I'll put a response together regarding Air America.
Your response was most excellent. Short and sweet. Worthy of a FReeper.
