I, too get a lot of those goofy e-mails. Although very conservative when it comes to government, I am very annoyed to receive that junk. The overall message seems to be, “It was generated by conservative interests, so it has to be true!”, so recipients just blindly keep it going. That kind of you-know-what doesn’t further anyone’s cause and I’m very disappointed that conservatives who claim to promote truth as one of their virtues would resort to such embellishments, editing, and downright lies.

I rely on Factcheck.org as a reliable source, but something looks odd about the Wachovia response. I think its weird that a big corporation would mention the employee’s name and that he’s been “dealt” with. Also thats a pretty generic job title of “assistant branch manager”.

I too recently received a frivolous email very similar to this one. As a retired CPA (and former Internal Revenue Agent) I was immediately aware that it was bogus. Fatcheck.org is an excellent source of information — thank you Kelly, for helping to debunk this ridiculous spam.
