Please forgive me if this has been covered and I missed it. But I received the latest nutty-right chain e-mail today and felt obligated to reply. If any of you received the same, perhaps you will be inspired to reply similarly or -- even better -- provide to the rest of us an improved response to be sent.
A facsimile of the original e-mail can be seen here:

The reply I sent:

Are all of you aware that there's a Pentagon policy against allowing "liberal media" -- or any other kind -- to attend soldiers' funerals?:

Maybe the details of Mr. Monsoor's funeral would have been more prominent news if George Bush's government had allowed coverage of it.
I was tempted to presume that everybody who received the original forward was bright enough to see through the implied right-wing horseshit -- and I presume that all of you were -- but I had to write this only because one can never be too sure.
