'Obama found dead in shock accident' email being sent around

Posted on 07/05/2008 8:29:18 AM PDT by Grig

My spam filter grabs a non-spam email now and then and I've been monitoring what it does so I can adjust the settings and make sure it stops doing that. One of the spam I got last night had the title 'Obama found dead in shock accident'.

I'm sure if it said 'Bush' or "McCain' instead of Obama conservatives would be up in arms about it, and so I hope also see this in the same light.

I'm in Canada so I'm sure if this breaks a law or not up here. Have any of you in the USA received this and reported it?

“News” spams like this often contain a virus or worm as a payload. Always delete (and I mean by pressing shift-delete!) stuff like this without opening it.

This MIGHT be true.

The finger of FDR puts out 220V AC. BO is wired for 24V DC.

At the very least, that jolt probably tripped BO's main breaker.

Hurry before some diversity loving (RIGHT!) Obamaniac at YouTube pulls it.

The only thing worth noting from this posted thread by you is that some LIBERAL TROLLS INFEST FR and have for years, since you have been around since 1999.

By any chance, did it mention Fort Marcy Park?

Since you opened the spam, I would get your virtual self over to Trend Housecall and do an online scan. Those mails have shocking subjects so you open them and then malicious scripting is downloaded to your system.

In the future, just say no to spam.

That’s my assesment too, but since Obama is a presidential candidate, does this constitute a crime? If it was only sent to people outside, or only sent from outside the USA, is it a crime?

My first thought if that (the Obamanation’s death) happened would be, “Arkancide!”

Stop reading crap in between the lines that isn’t there. I’ve been here on FR since ‘98 so there is a nice long CONSERVATIVE posting history for you to check out.

I’ve seen those cartoons and the outrage against them was justified. I’m not so naive however to think that some on our side might employ a double standard when Obama is the target.

I’m a conservative who has been here on FR for 10 years. My posts and comments are there for you to check.

Actually, I saved it to a text file without opening it and only looked at the text file. I know about what kind of crap can be in spam. Just as bad as the viruses are html spam messages that have a 1 pixel image just so opening it calls back to their server and lets them confirm your email address is valid so they can sell it to other spamers.

Try checking the my posts while you are at it. Since when is NOT having a double standard the sign of being a liberal?

I couldn't care less about Hussein. Let the liberals worry about the race baiting, Muslim militant.

Could it not be construed as a threat, and if so would not that make it a crime?

Assuming it's written in the past tense, how could it possibly be conceived as a threat?

Quit schilling for Obama. What you do not realize is 99.99% of the posters on FR could care leass about emails like this because we have disdain for Obama and realize how dangerous he is, and we also realize how childish and unimportant a spam email like that is. I did read between the lines. It was easy to do, the lines were a mile wide.
