So what happens when you show him how complete bullshit the e-mails are? Does he just ignore it and keep sending new e-mails? If that's the case, I don't see what more you can do besides asking him to stop and ultimately blocking him.
Yeah, I think the best way to go about this is to just not get into the ever-spiraling evidence->liberal-media! loop and just refute and question the things that are obvious and shouldn't require a link to a news story like the 48 states thing, the extremely subjective and misleading language about the "tax paying land owners" and people living in tenement welfare megadomes that has next to nothing to do with actual voting or reality, no explanation of why it takes five years for illegals to destroy the country, etc.
Or you could link him directly to this professors Hamline University faculty page where he says it's bullshit:

IMPORTANT! PLEASE FWD TO EVERYONE YOU KNOW! YOU'RE CHILDREN'S LIVE'S ARE ON THE LINE!
Diabetes is on the rise. Have You ever wondered why? My friend's daughter works for the CDC and she is terrified about what they are doing but afraid to say anything. The CDC is moving forward on a project to control the population of the USA for the federal government and make it impossible to revolt! How could they do that?
Easy.
They are infecting the citizen's of the United States with diabetes! Once everyone has diabetes we can not complain or try to run away or we will die without our government mandated insulin treatment!
My friend's daughter says that they are working closely with local and state government's to introduce chemicals into our food supply to speed up the process which has until now been carried out entirely through vaccination.
They want you to die if you do not obey! Don't let them control you!
*DON'T get the flu shot* The flu shot is their favorite vaccination because they can trick people into taking it every year and sometimes, if they are clever and can make up a new flu, twice a year!
*DON'T drink water from the faucet or bottled water that is bottled inside the United States!
*SEND THIS TO EVERYONE YOU KNOW!* They want you to believe it is you living your life that makes you sick. It is not you. American's have lived the same way for centuries. It isn't our body or our food or our GOD GIVEN way of life that is making us ill.
*DON'T let them win by taking control of America by making us all dependent on the treatment they give us for the illness they have given us!
It all makes perfect sense now. How could I have been so blinded.

I wish you well, but I fear your quest is ultimately futile. They're not interested in facts or reality. They take their stances for emotional reasons based on what they wish were true. They don't care about the world as it is. They live in a fantasy world based on how they wish the world actually were.
It's equivalent to arguing with creationists. You'll never change their mind about anything through factual refutation, unfortunately.

Yes gentlemen, they are on their way in, and no one can bring them back. For the sake of our country, and our way of life, I suggest you get the rest of SAC in after them. Otherwise, we will be totally destroyed by Red retaliation. My boys will give you the best kind of start, 1400 megatons worth, and you sure as hell won't stop them now. So let's get going, there's no other choice. God willing, we will prevail, in peace and freedom from fear, and in true health, through the purity and essence of our natural fluids. God bless you all

For those suggesting Snopes as a good source of debunking (it is), your dumb relatives may not take it so seriously. I have at least 3 that refute anything researched by Snopes, because the founders of Snopes are in fact totally "in the tank" for Obama (i.e. commie sympathizers). Just a heads up. I've received this twice now.
But that's the beauty of that particular "Hamline professor" email - it contains simple data that is very easy to debunk without being difficult to understand, such as the number of states won by Obama and McCain, it becomes clear with the slightest inspection that it's recycled crap from 2000 or 2004 with a false attribution to boot.
If wingnuts want to hold firm to their precious email, ask if they are willing to bet a hundred bucks on whether you or the email is correct on the number of states won by Obama and McCain, agreeing upon a source like the Fox News website's election results to settle the bet.

THE HOUSTON HERALD NEWSPAPER
IN HOUSTON, TEXAS
March 5th, 2009
Last Thursday night round midnight, a woman in Houston, Texas was arrested, jailed, and charged with manslaughter for shooting a man 6 times in the back as he was running away with her purse.
The following Monday morning, the woman was called in front of the arraignment judge, sworn in, and asked to explain her actions.
The woman replied, "I was standing at the corner bus stop for about 15 minutes, waiting for the bus to take me home after work. I am a waitress at a local cafe. I was there alone, so I had my right hand on my pistol, that was in my purse, that was hung over my left shoulder.
"All of a sudden I was being spun around hard to my left. As I caught my balance, I saw a man running away from me with my purse.
I looked down at my right hand and I saw that my fingers were wrapped tightly around my pistol. The next thing I remember is saying out loud, 'No way punk! Your not stealing my pay check and tips.' I raised my right hand, pointed my pistol at the man running away from me with my purse, and squeezed the trigger of my pistol six times!"
When asked by the arraignment judge, "Why did You shoot the man six times?" the woman replied under oath, "Because, when I pulled the trigger of my pistol the seventh time, it only went click."
The woman was acquitted of all charges. And she was back at work, at the cafe, the next day!

Okay fellas, someone I know who is just a teeny bit nuts just threw this 'article' up on his FB.
so this guy posted: George Washington was a terrorist!
According to the definition of terrorism adopted by the FBI, George Washington was a terrorist. Indeed, so were Jefferson, Franklin, Adams and all the signatories to the Declaration of Independence. Moreover, all Confederate soldiers, statesmen, and sympathizers were terrorists. Not only that, but the Nazis in occupied Europe during WWII were not terrorists, but the members of the various resistance movements were terrorists. Similarly, the many communist governments that followed WWII were never terrorists, but any anti-communist groups that advocated violence were terrorists. Lastly, all of the Jews who fought the British prior to the formation of the State of Israel were terrorists. All of this is true by FBI standards.
In keeping with federal regulations, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has issued a set of criteria that defines who is and who is not a terrorist. These criteria are:
1) Terrorists commit or support illegal acts involving the use of violence.
2) These acts are intended to intimidate or coerce.
3) These acts are committed in support of political or social objectives.
1) Since the legitimate government of the American colonies at the time of the American Revolution was Great Britain, the independence movement was highly illegal. Indeed, it was legally treason, and was a capital offense. As Benjamin Franklin said to his colleagues, “We must all hang together, gentlemen; or—most assuredly—we shall all hang separately!” In meeting the last part of this first criterion, I don’t think many people would fail to characterize the Revolutionary Was as involving force and violence.
2) The stated purpose of the Revolution was to intimidate and coerce the government of Great Britain into granting the American colonies their independence.
3) The Declaration of Independence clearly states that the movement had political and social objectives.
Quod erat demonstratum: George Washington and the rest of the Founding Fathers were all terrorists!
The same process of reasoning may be applied to show that all of the groups mentioned in the lead paragraph may be considered terrorists under the FBI’s definition. Curiously, “terrorists” was the exact term that the Nazi occupiers of Europe used in their “wanted posters” to describe the members of the various resistance groups. It is more than a little disquieting to find our own FBI following so blithely in the Nazi’s goose-steps.
It should be noted, that no government or government agency may be considered as terrorists under the above definition. Obviously, everything that a government does is legal (either before or after the act), therefore it can’t be terrorism—no matter how heinous the act may be.
But, George Washington as a terrorist??? I think that the FBI needs a new definition.
By the way, being a terrorist or supporting a terrorist is a federal offense, but terrorism itself is not! That’s right: There is no federal or state law against terrorism!
Patrick J. Tyson
<picture of Georgie>
According to the FBI this man is of the same caliber as Osama bin Laden!!!
I don't see this badboy up on Snopes or discussed here as far as I remember. Can y'all help me fire back at this? "Obviously, everything that a government does is legal" just makes me wince.

Washington didn't deliberately target civilian populations. He fought as the head of a uniformed army, supported by an organized political entity (the Continental Congress).
Nonetheless, the British would have hanged him as a traitor if the revolution had failed. All the founders would have. Whether he was a hero or not depended entirely on who won.

Well it's taking literalism the extreme by saying George Washington is Osama Bin Laden but technically both facts are true. The Founding Fathers did rebel against the mother country, and a government could technically make anything LEGAL but it doesnt neccesarily make it morally correct.

One of his most famous acts is an attack on a civilian target. He and his fellow conspirators destroyed millions of dollars worth of luxury goods, none were in uniform and many were disguised as native civilians.

A TRUE STORY FROM...
THE HOUSTON HERALD NEWSPAPER
IN HOUSTON, TEXAS
March 5th, 2009
Last Thursday night round midnight, a woman in Houston, Texas was arrested, jailed, and charged with murder for shooting and killing a woman and her unborn child and faces additional charges for injuring three other people. She claims she was shooting at a man as he was running away with her purse. Witnesses claim that the incident was precipitated by a bicycle messenger accidentally striking her.
One witnesses recalled the incident "She was dazed for a few seconds after the guy on the bike hit her, she dropped her purse but that's when everyone noticed the Dirty Harry gun she was holding. She started screaming about her pay check and tips and pointed the gun at [Jamal Williams]. I don't blame him for freaking out but as he ran away she started shooting at him. I couldn't really see where she was shooting because I was crouching trying to protect my daughter but I do remember her screaming and the sound of 'click click click click' as she kept pulling the trigger even after she ran out of bullets."
Jamal Williams, the woman's target has expressed grief over the outcome. "I sometimes think that if I had just let her shoot me it would have saved two lives. I guess I'm lucky, as a surgeon I can let this incident motivate me to work even harder. I have trouble sleeping but I've been using those late nights to catch up on some new procedures, I... I just don't want that woman and her baby to have died in vain."
Police refuse to comment but an unnamed source confirmed that the woman's purse was found at the bus stop, only a foot away from where the shots were fired.

It's better to be paralyzed from the neck down, than to be paralyzed from the neck up...
Dr. Charles Krauthammer
Dr. Krauthammer is on Fox News. He is an M.D. and a lawyer and is paralyzed from the neck down. A friend went to hear Charles Krauthammer. He listened with 25 others in a closed room. What he says here, is NOT 2nd-hand but 1st. The ramifications are staggering for us, our children and their children.
Last Monday was a profound evening, Dr. Charles Krauthammer spoke to the Center for the American Experiment. He is a brilliant intellectual, seasoned & articulate. He is forthright and careful in his analysis, and never resorts to emotions or personal insults. He is NOT a fear monger nor an extremist in his comments and views. He is a fiscal conservative, and has received a Pulitzer Prize for writing. He is a frequent contributor to Fox News and writes weekly for the Washington Post.
The entire room was held spellbound during his talk. I have summarized his comments, as we are living in uncharted waters economically and internationally.
Even 2 Dems at my table agreed with everything he said! If you feel like forwarding this to those who are open minded and have not drunk the Kool-Aid, feel free.
Summary of his comments:
1. Mr. Obama is a very intellectual, charming individual. He is not to be underestimated. He is a cool customer who doesn't show his emotions. It's very hard to know what's behind the mask. The taking down of the Clinton dynasty was an amazing accomplishment. The Clintons still do not understand what hit them. Obama was in the perfect place at the perfect time.
2. Obama has political skills comparable to Reagan and Clinton. He has a way of making you think he's on your side, agreeing with your position, while doing the opposite. Pay no attention to what he SAYS; rather, watch what he DOES!
3. Obama has a ruthless quest for power. He did not come to Washington to make something out of himself, but rather to change everything, including dismantling capitalism. He can't be straightforward on his ambitions, as the public would not go along.
He has a heavy hand, and wants to level the playing field with income redistribution and punishment to the achievers of society. He would like to model the USA to Great Britain or Canada .
4. His three main goals are to control ENERGY, PUBLIC EDUCATION, and NATIONAL HEALTHCARE by the Federal government. He doesn't care about the auto or financial services industries, but got them as an early bonus. The cap and trade will add costs to everything and stifle growth. Paying for FREE college education is his goal. Most scary is his healthcare program, because if you make it FREE and add 46,000,000 people to a Medicare-type single-payer system, the costs will go through the roof. The only way to control costs is with massive RATIONING of services, like in Canada . God forbid!
5. He has surrounded himself with mostly far-left academic types. No one around him has ever even run a candy store. But they are going to try and run the auto, financial, banking and other industries. This obviously can't work in the long run. Obama is not a socialist; rather he's a far-left secular progressive bent on nothing short of revolution. He ran as a moderate, but will govern from the hard left. Again, watch what he does, not what he says.
6. Obama doesn't really see himself as President of the United States , but more as a ruler over the world. He sees himself above it all, trying to orchestrate & coordinate various countries and their agendas. He sees moral equivalency in all cultures. His apology tour in Germany and England was a prime example of how he sees America , as an imperialist nation that has been arrogant, rather than a great noble nation that has at times made errors. This is the first President ever who has chastised our allies and appeased our enemies!
7. He is now handing out goodies. He hopes that the bill (and pain) will not come due until after he is reelected in 2012. He would like to blame all problems on Bush from the past, and hopefully his successor in the future. He has a huge ego, and Dr. Krauthammer believes he is a narcissist.
8. Republicans are in the wilderness for a while, but will emerge strong. Republicans are pining for another Reagan, but there will never be another like him. Krauthammer believes Mitt Romney, Tim Pawlenty & Bobby Jindahl (except for his terrible speech in February) are the future of the party. Newt Gingrich is brilliant, but has baggage. Sarah Palin is sincere and intelligent, but needs to really be seriously boning up on facts and info if she is to be a serious candidate in the future.. We need to return to the party of lower taxes, smaller government, personal responsibility, strong national defense, and state's rights.
9. The current level of spending is irresponsible and outrageous. We are spending trillions that we don't have. This could lead to hyperinflation, depression or worse. No country has ever spent themselves into prosperity. The media is giving Obama, Reid and Pelosi a pass because they love their agenda. But eventually the bill will come due and people will realize the huge bailouts didn't work, nor will the stimulus package. These were trillion-dollar payoffs to Obama's allies, unions and the Congress to placate the left, so he can get support for #4 above.
10. The election was over in mid-September when Lehman brothers failed, fear and panic swept in, we had an unpopular President, and the war was grinding on indefinitely without a clear outcome. The people are in pain, and the mantra of change caused people to act emotionally. Any Dem would have won this election; it was surprising it was as close as it was.
11. In 2012, if the unemployment rate is over 10%, Republicans will be swept back into power. If it's under 8%, the Dems continue to roll. If it's between 8-10%, it will be a dogfight. It will all be about the economy. I hope this gets you really thinking about what's happening in Washington and Congress. There is a left-wing revolution going on, according to Krauthammer, and he encourages us to keep the faith and join the loyal resistance. The work will be hard, but we're right on most issues and can reclaim our country, before it's far too late.
Do yourself a long term favor, send this to all who will listen to an intelligent assessment of the big picture. All our futures and children's futures depend on our good understanding of what is really going on in DC, and our action pursuant to that understanding!! It really IS up to each of us to take individual action!! Start with educating your friends and neighbors!!!
Let me Snopes that for you.

Obscure to all except those well-versed in Yuuzhan Vong lore.

I lost it at "Sarah Palin is sincere and intelligent."
