Just got this from one of my nutty right-wing family members...I can't tell you how many times I have had this come to me from folks who ASSume I'm one of them. Referenced in the email is link to Snopes.com to check it out, but if you click the link it takes you Snopes.com main page and not the referred to Barack Obama page. After 4 seconds of research you can tell that this is actually the email that Snopes says is the bogus one making the rounds - yet they still send it out to their cohorts. I of course emailed them back and told them it was bogus and that I had registered their names with BarackObama.com to be a community volunteer.
Here's the proganda email below...

school.'
> Obama's political handlers
are attempting to make it appear that

radical.
