Checking the Hate Mail Bag
It’s been a while since we shared some of the hate mail the Texas Freedom Network gets from folks. Enjoy! Lots of our hate mail is along these lines: “Dear Nut Jobs — Leave me alone! You IDIOTS!” And another: “Wise up! You can not be a liberal & please God. Get on God’s side not evil Obama” […]

Checking the TFN Hate Mail Bag
We’ve been getting more hate mail here at the Texas Freedom Network. Some of it features the same tired insults we often get: TFN are Marxist in sheep skins. You people are killing America.

Feel the Love
Donna Garner, the right-wing gadfly who last year circulated an e-mail screed charging that Jeffrey Dahmer was a serial murderer because he believed in evolution, has posted a “love” note to the Texas Freedom Network on TFN Insider.
