These days many Americans complain of being bombarded with stupid propaganda leaflets clogging up their email boxes, from Al Gore (I thought he's saving the planet now, after failing - miserably - to persuade his compatriots to vote him into the White House).

Apart from begging for donations and the support for the Democratic party in the next elections, the messages even provide the email address.

Here is the part of one of pathetic messages a Serbian-American received:

Dear [first name],

Less Than 100 Days to Go!
In less than 100 days, we can put an end to the Republican one-party rule and bring America a new direction. In less than 100 days, history will be made. The 2006 mid-term elections will be upon us and their outcome will determine the future of the Bush presidency and, in many ways, the future of our country.

There is no path to victory in 2008 elections if we do not have success in 2006 - it is just that simple. President Bush, Dick Cheney and Karl Rove will either use their last two years to fulfill their wildest right-wing dreams, hoping to cement a "permanent Republican majority" as they put it, or face accountability and a progressive agenda in Congress for the first time.

And, that is why I am writing you. You have been instrumental in the DCCC's successes this year. Today, I ask that you take one more step and join me and my friends at the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) in our historic campaign to win back the U.S. House by giving the most generous gift you possibly can to the DCCC today [blah, blah, blah...]

The message is signed by Al Gore, and comes with a PS:

We have an overriding task before us to do everything in our power to ensure that when America wakes up on November 8th, 2006, the Democratic Party is in control of the U.S. House of Representatives. Contribute to the DCCC today and make victory in less than 100 days a reality.

This particular Serbian-American wasn't lazy to respond:

Dear Mr. Gore,

I am originally from Europe and I am not used to people that I've never met call me by my first name.

You were a part of the Administration that bombed the country of my birth, Serbia, for the interests of the narco and prostitution ring leaders, KLA.

My best friend's father, an anti fascist veteran from WWII, was killed in the bombing. I know few others who were killed in your "humanitarian" bombing. Please stop sending me these messages since I can never be supportive of you, your party, and your causes.

Sincerely, [full name]

One would expect the man who invented Internet and his trolls to have a bit higher IQ and go beg from those who have already been paying for their Gore-Kerry-Clark presidential campaigns: KLA terrorists, Bosnian and other Muslim jihadists, Croats... Those are your voters, your crowd.

But I guess it's never enough, so they're starting to knock on Serbian doors too. Tough luck! I would really like to see the Serbian American who would give his vote to Democrats, or throw one yellow cent to the Dogs of Global Jihad and KLA employees, after the Clinton-Albright-Holbrooke-Clark bloody dance over Serbian lands. Keep knocking, though, seeing you defeated again and again does bring some measure of relief.
