I got this and it pissed me right the gently caress off:
http://www.snopes.com/politics/soapbox/iacocca.asp
Many of you may remember Lee Iacocca's 2007 Republican-bashing book "Where Have All The Leaders Gone?" - welp, apparently some right-wingers decided to just erase the lines mocking Republicans and change them to Democrats and still attribute them to Iacocca for credibility purposes.
Bolded lines have been changed from the original per Snopes; check the link above to see what it used to say.
quote:Am I the only guy in this country who's fed up with what's happening? Where the hell is our outrage with this so called president? We should be screaming bloody murder! We've got a gang of tax cheating clueless leftists trying to steer our ship of state right over a cliff, we've got
corporate gangsters stealing us blind, and we can't even run a ridiculous cash-for-clunkers program without losing $26 billion of the taxpayers' money, much less build a hybrid car. But instead of getting mad, everyone sits around and nods their heads when the politicians say, 'trust me the economy is getting better.'
Better? You've got to be kidding. This is America, not the damned, 'Titanic.' I'll give you a sound bite: 'Throw all the Democrats out along with Obama!'
The most famous business leaders are not the innovators but the guys in handcuffs.. While we're fiddling in Afghanistan, Iran is completing their nuclear bombs and missiles and nobody seems to know what to do. And the liberal press is waving 'pom-poms' instead of asking hard questions.
That's not the promise of the 'America' my parents and yours traveled across the ocean for. I've had enough. How about you?
Leaders are made, not born. Leadership is forged in times of crisis. It's easy to sit there with thumb up your butt and talk theory. Or send someone else's kids off to war when you've never seen a battlefield yourself. It's another thing to lead when your world comes tumbling down.
Gas prices are going to skyrocked again, and nobody in power has a lucid plan to open drilling to solve the problem. This country has the largest oil reserves in the WORLD, and we cannot drill for it because the politicians have been bought by the flea-hugging environmentalists.
Our schools are in a complete disaster because of the teachers union.
Our borders are like sieves and they want to give all illegals amnesty and free healthcare.
The middle class is being squeezed to death every day.
Everyone's hunkering down, fingers crossed, hoping the government will make it better for them. Now, that's just crazy.. Deal with life.
Name me an industry leader who is thinking creatively about how we can restore our competitive edge in manufacturing. Who would have believed that there could ever be a time when 'The Big Three' referred to Japanese car companies? How did this happen, and more important, look what Obama
did about it!
I have news for the Chicago gangsters in Congress. We didn't elect you to turn this country into a losing European Socialist state. What is everybody so afraid of? That some bonehead on NBC or CNN news will call them a name? Give me a break. Why don't you guys show some spine for a
change?

Oh come on, that's hilarious. That's the kind of email I dream of getting.
Well the annoying part is that I didn't personally receive it but saw it in a coworkers mailbox, so I couldn't even respond with a giant "you loving retards" mailing
