Benevolent Heretic you are truly confused here. Why, if the e-mail was a lie, would Porter have sent it to his family???
The Army confirmed that Barack Obama never even visited the "clamshell" at Bagram Airbase, to work out, or play basketball there. That's according to Bagram spokesman Lt. Col. Rumi Nielson-Green, who called the email contents “inappropriate and factually incorrect,” and "added that such political commentary is barred for uniformed personnel," which means that he may have violated military regulations.
...
Jeffrey S. Porter--a man who is obviously unfit to carry a commission in the armed forces of the United States, intended this false e-mail to be mass e-mailed anonymously so that Barack Obama would never get the opportunity to confront his false accuser. But Porter's wife made the mistake of forwarding the e-mail under his real name to friends and family, who soon forwarded it on to complete strangers. In only a few days, the e-mail was tracked back to Porter. When confronted by his superior officers, Porter admitted that the allegations he made in the e-mail were false.
Oops. And Tiff included her own name as well:
I don't know each of your personal political convictions, and apologize if anyone finds this offensive. I thought it was important enough to share.
This is Jeff's first hand view of Senator Obama.

You mean to say that he did see or know that Obama did in fact meet with the troops, yet lied to his family, knowing that perhaps Obama does support the troops and is a such a great person?
So what was the information that was real?
And the fake?
You need to settle down BH.
Well people will continue to make up lies and bash Obama because we still have a lot of racists. People will say anything not to have a black president, and a short email like that is the least of our problems.

Oh that's it! Because he's Black! Yes.
Not because he's the most Liberal Senator to date, or that he is the most inexperienced man for this job or has highly questionable natural-born citizenship or does massive flip-flops on major issues like the Patriot Act, Iraq War, Public Financing, Gun Control etc.
No, the latter has nothing to do with it at all. It must because he's Black then I guess.

I wish that all of us would be able to form more of our own opinions and not be swayed by those that could care less about us and that goes for both ends of the spectrum. Ignoring facts can be bad for your mental health.
