| Wisconsin business sends nasty e-mail to GI in Iraq. |
| 2007-01-21 |
| Authenticity confirmed by Snopes.com You won't believe this email that was sent to me -- it was sent by a Middle Easterner living in Wisconsin, who owns an AMERICAN BUSINESS -- what an arrogant jerk!!! +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ This is a Wisconson-based Company...... Below is an email exchange between a friend of mine's husband and a company that sells different types of mats. He is stationed in Iraq and was inquiring as to whether or not the company ships overseas. He wanted to get the troops better gear to sleep on. This is the companies response -- I am floored as a military wife and as an American!!! Please post this so that this company will hear us loud and clear that we do not stand for this. Whatever your view is on this war - these troops are just following orders. Most are passionate about what they are doing. You can disagree with the war without disrespecting our troops!!! +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ On Tue Jan 16 3:25, contact@discount-mats.com sent: To Whom it may concern: Do you ship to APO addresses? I'm in the 1st Cavalry Division stationed in Iraq and we are trying to order some mats but we are looking for who ships to APO first. SGT Hess +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ From: contact@discount-mats.com [mailto:contact@discount-mats.com] Sent: Tuesday, January 16, 2007 9:44 PM Subject: Re: Feedback: from discount-mats.com SGT Hess, We do not ship to APO addresses, and even if we did, we would NEVER ship to Iraq. If you were sensible, you and your troops would pull out of Iraq.

| #13 And set your stopwatches now for for CAIR to be whining about those nasty, bigoted racist Americans in 3...2...1.... Oh, yeah, sign these people up for tons of pharma spam. Oh, and Euro lottery spam would be a nice touch, too. |

| #12 Faisal Khetani, Whoever wrote this email below doesnÂ’t deserve to be in this country. You could of just said no we do not ship, but you had to get NASTY. This email is all over the internet and everyone knows your anti-American. You make me sick! IÂ’m writing the FBI to check you out. I hope you go to Gitmo, Cuba! IÂ’m glad to see your site is down!

| #11 Don't worry, I'm sure CAIR is readying their press release, especially since their website is experiencing "technical difficulties". |

| #9 What Steve S said (we of the Army of Steve do stick together). Please don't sign these mooks up for gay pr0n, that would be wrong. But let's make sure the word gets out so that Mr. Faisal ends up in Chapter 7 real soon now. |

| #7 Personally, I think it is shameful an American company will not do business with American troops, but allow me to take a contrarian position: 1) DiscountMats.com is a private business and is under no obligation to sell or ship its products anywhere. 2) In America, opinions are not illegal, although if you are stupid, your opinions are probably stupid too. However 3) we are under no obligation to do business with these mooks 4) the Internet is a powerful platform for disseminating information. The more people that know about this, the more point #3 kicks in. All Hail the Free Market! |

| #6 I am telling you we should take these f*ckin pansies as they step up and pit them with the guys we have down at Gitmo. Its a win win if they can win the Jihadi's over with love and hugs great if instead reality rules and Jihadi's get em a new Infidel toy to play with and we lose a pansie seditionist. I would start with thier leadership most all of Hollywood - large portion of Dem Party - and then work my way down. I would play cum-by-ya in the background and sell tickets on the internet too. |
