As a registered TownHall.com lurker, I often receive automated emails from them intended for their ludicrously credulous target audience. Most are trying to sell gold coins, but many are openly political spam, pediculous with breathless right wing invective. Recently, I received a particularly repellent bulletin allegedly written by delusional tea bagger and Kentucky Republican Senator Rand Paul, with the fanciful subject line, "Sign the petition Obama fears." This loathsome missive has been bouncing around the internets since Paul issued it in January in support of the National Right to Work Committee's petition demanding an "up or down" vote on the National Right to Work Act, a Chamber of Commerce wet dream designed to stamp the life out of the American labor movement.
