[Bolding mine]Why do you refer to it as right wing bullshit?
The author of the email asked a soldier "why" and he answered him. The author of the email had valid reason to believe it was THIS administration for he was not informed that it happened years ago.
Heck, even I did not know the origin of the original words nor was I aware of the change in words.
You are seeking to make a bigger deal out of this than needs to ber made. The author of the email obviously does not appreciate the Obamas (nor do I) and he immediately assumed this was action of theirs.
That does not make it "right wing" anything. It is all about a man jumping to conclusions.
The email is misleading, false and damaging. It's perfectly understandable to characterize it as "bullshit". If the writer didn't realize that the changes were instituted under the Bush administration he or she had a responsibility to check before he delivered his broadside. Is it right-wing? Almost certainly. It's a public attack on the patriotism and commitment to soldiers of a Democratic president. The overwhelming majority of such communications come from the right rather than the left. Is it typical? It's not typical of the average Republican, but it is typical of anonymous internet chain mails.
You have a link to those stats?
