Chris Beam has a fun piece at Slate arguing that the Obama campaign needs to stop whining about rumors spread through e-mail forwards and begin disseminating a couple of their own. he's even got suggestions:
A tape exists of Michelle Obama saying the PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE at a conference on PATRIOTISM.Barack Obama is a PATRIOTIC AMERICAN. He has one HAND over his HEART at all times. He occasionally switches when one arm gets tired, which is almost never because he is STRONG.Barack Obama has the DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE tattooed on his stomach. It's upside-down, so he can read it while doing sit-ups.Barack Obama is a DEVOUT CHRISTIAN. His favorite book is the BIBLE, which he has memorized. His name means HE WHO LOVES JESUS in the ancient language of Aramaic. He is PROUD that Jesus was an American.Barack Obama's new airplane includes a conference room, a kitchen, and a MEGACHURCH.Barack Obama's skin is the color of AMERICAN SOIL.Barack Obama buys AMERICAN STUFF. He owns a FORD, a BASEBALL TEAM, and a COMPUTER HE BUILT HIMSELF FROM AMERICAN PARTS. He travels mostly by FORKLIFT.Barack Obama says that Americans cling to GUNS and RELIGION because they are AWESOME.Seems sensible.
