Few appreciate, or even know about these virulent emails. They are widely distributed among what you might call "regular" people. They are forwarded to me by a member of the Moose Lodge and an auto parts dealer from small towns in the midwest. These are people who don't read the New York Times, listen to hate radio or watch Fox News. They get most of their information from their friends. And their friends forward them this crap.
I find you post from three and a half years ago interesting because I too appreciate the technical quality of the writing in these emails. My guess is that the same individual is responsible for all of the most effective ones. They all have that same sly style. I'm not, however, convinced that the person is a conservative. Typically, they are not capable of such creative nuance. I speculate that they are either paying a real writer or water boarding one, but can't really say for sure.
Anyway, if you want to see the latest virulent right wing email, this one whipping up hatred for immigrants, I have posted it here (just scroll down a bit, it's italicized).
