The question this e-mail shouild raise is, why are there hundreds or more such e-mails with conservative propaganda around? Who puts these lies into these notes?
For someone to sit down and put together this sort of list, and say Laura Bush had far less staff, required lying - either they knew Laura Bush's staff was the same and lied, or they had no idea how big Laura Bush's staff was and wrote that it was far smaller knowing that they had no idea, which is lying too by pretending they had the info.
Such e-mails are not 'innocent mistakes', they are propaganda. Sometimes they're very specifically political as with this one, other times their more generally'conservative'.
As propaganda they often use things like an attempt to make the lie into a joke or something funny to get it forwarded more.
So, how ii there a whole industry of these right-wing propaganda items created and sent on mass lists?
And no, there isn't any such industry on the left of propaganda. For any one misguided left-wing e-mail I see dozens of propaganda right-wing e-mails - and my e-mail reading sees a lot more of the left than the right. The left-wing e-mails are far better quality, from organizations with information that's legitimate, things like Amnesty International or ACLU bulletins, not anonymous propaganda that's false.
Now, another lesson from an e-mail like this is how it is biased even if true, in that, how many e-mail documents got sent around the country about Laura Bush's staff size?
None. If she had doubled the staff, it wasn't made an issue - and would the righties threaten to switch parties in outrage, or would they make excuses for her and minimize it, maybe saying how they disagreed with it b-b-b-but Democrats are worse, so just ignore the issue?
Increases in staff happen - but they can only happen under Republicans, because if it was a Democrat, THEN the righties would make an issue of it? That's called bias.
If they can look and say they have an opinion on staff size and would treat the parties equally for the same behavior, that's a defendable position.
So, who's behind the right-wing e-mail propaganda industry?
