Both were  particularly concerned with civil  rights.

Me too, Lefty.  I probably get at least a couple of "forwards" a week that require a Snopes Check!!  Most of the political ones by Dems and Reps are usually FALSE...doesn't matter who sends them.  Always with putting them through the filter.  Thanks, Brat!

I have gotten very familiar with Snopes and UrbanLegends as my Dad would pass me stuff all the time.

I got to the point where I just replied to the link with the url and said read it.

 
 

He has finally gotten the hint. Now he sends them to me and asks me if they are true or not before he sends them out.
