I wish I could fight fire with fire. I hate the racist, low brow emails a frendenemy continues to send me. I told him we don't agree and are thrilled with the Democratic Agenda this administration is working so hard to enact. I think that these people are Fox News only listening, racist idiots who cry less government and would never give up there Social Security or Medicare.
What, what, can I do! My only thought is to send clips from the Daily Show, which is a lot of trouble.
Any other suggestions?

I have a friend from my old church like that. It's hard to believe some of the racist slogans and pictures out there! It goes way beyond Obama in the white face "Joker" make up.
When they have no opinion attached I just delete them. When they try to use opinion as fact, I send the truth, from Factcheck.org, Politifact or Snopes. Since we attended Bible study together, I sometimes send him verses from the Bible. I've sent clips from The Daily Show, too, when I want him to see how ridiculous his criticisms are. It's incredible to me that there are people that actually believe some of the stories on FOX -- like the story about the Nuclear Security Summit logo! Ha, ha, you gotta love Jon Stewart!
Block and ignore them; however, most people I know who do not support Obama don't support his socialist agenda. It has nothing to do with race as you suggest.
