Got sent an email last night entitled "Coil of Rage" that purports to be racist statements Obama made in a couple of different books. The theme of the email is, basically, that Obama is a racist, against white people, and his allegiances lie with Muslims. Reminds me of an email I got a few years ago that was ALSO a ridiculous email about Obama and the Christian Nation.  I assume that the people that send out stuff like this do it to be social, or because it fits some pre-conceived notion they already have,  and not because they care if what they're sending is truthful.  Almost always there's something on the email, chain letter style, that says to send it out to everyone they know, and that is usually a person's entire email address book.
