Obama Libelous Emails!

avatar

I live in California and I'm a very dedicated supporter of Obama, and I'm very concerned. I'm sure by now some of you have heard of these false, damaging emails being forwarded around about Obama. Emails saying he's Muslim (not that there's anything wrong with that, but he's not), and that he's going to "destroy the country from within", etc... For a while I just laughed these emails off, but in the last week alone, I've heard of three different people who believed them! One of these people in question being Hispanic, and with the results of Super Tuesday's primary here, I now believe this is a serious problem.

When people don't actively pay attention, when they are only casually involved in current events, something as simple as a false email can go a long way towards making up their mind. 

Can we investigate where these emails come from?  Are they secretly Hillary supporters?  GOP operatives?  And what can be done to set the record straight?
