My boss gets right-wing emails about Obama from her family. I just responded to them. Pray for me
Her family is a bunch of right wing nuts who keep sending her these bogus Obama emails. The latest is the one where they claim he wants to change our anthem to "I'd Like to Teach the World to Sing" which snopes debunked here:
http://www.snopes.com/politics/obama/stance.asp
It makes me so mad to see this stuff, but she's on vacation and I'm really hoping she isn't too mad. I think she should just tell them to stop sending her this crap, but she doesn't. I sent a nice reply saying I hate to see "false claims being sent about one of our candidates." That's pretty nice, right?
YIKES!!! I hope I don't get fired!

1. Are you using her email to do it?
If so, that might be a problem. But if she's passing those emails on to you, along with the email addys, she shouldn't be upset if you respond to them.

2. I made it clear that the response came from me
but I read her emails as part of my job- so no, she didn't originally forward it to me.
I want to also forward the debunk to the big list the email went to originally, but I think that would get me in way too much trouble.
If I could figure out how to do it without anyone knowing who I am...
It is not her place to put her boss' family in "their place". I hope she gets her ass fired.

Yep. I would think responding to your boss' personal emails is a pretty obvious thing to NEVER EVER DO! Apparently the boss is out of town, I expect next week to see a thread complaining about how she just got fired. I'd fire her if she was my employee. I'm even clearly the boss' favorite in the office here and I'd get my ass fired if I was stupid enough to do something like that.
I'm pretty sure B. Hussein plans to rearrange the words and change the anthem to read something like this:
Unbreakable union of freeborn republics
Great Russia has welded forever to stand!
Created in struggle by will of the people
United and mighty, our Soviet land!
Sing to the Motherland, home of the free,
Bulwark of people, in brotherhood strong!
Oh! Party of Lenin! The strength of the people.
To Communism's triumph lead us on!
Through tempests the sunrays of freedom have cheered us
Along the new path where great Lenin did lead!
To a righteous cause he raised up the people
Inspired them to labor and valorous deed!
Sing to the Motherland, home of the free,
Bulwark of people, in brotherhood strong!
Oh! Party of Lenin! The strength of the people.
To Communism's triumph lead us on!
In the victory of Communism's deathless ideal,
We see the future of our dear land
And to her fluttering scarlet banner,
selflessly true, we always shall stand!
Sing to the Motherland, home of the free,
Bulwark of people, in brotherhood strong!
Oh! Party of Lenin! The strength of the people.
To Communism's triumph lead us on!

I'd probably give you another chance if I were your boss, just because I like you that much.

OBAMA ANTHEM LYRICS (to the tune of the Soviet Union's National Anthem)All hail the messiah
Obama, Obama
The path to the new socialist motherland
Our savior, our savior
Obama, Obama
The leader more famous than Lindsay Lohan
Bow down and praise the one
Give him your money and your guns
Give us a country
That makes your wife proud
Lord Barry heal the bitter ones
White and Clinging to faith and to guns
Hope for the change of the hope of the change!

It may not be her place to do so, but it's also not the boss's place to send her such emails at work as part of her job, either, and the boss shouldn't have done that. Politics needs to be kept out of the workplace on both sides, period. Work is for work and it doesn't do a workplace any good to get bogged down in often-heated political discussions. Your political opinions aren't your boss's business and vice versa. And I don't wanna have to read the political opinions of a boss's family when I'm supposed to be working.

LOL, yeah, I guess I am, frank. I'm finishing up week four of recovery and going absolutely batshit nuts with cabin fever. I'm at the point in recovery where I'm feeling a lot better but still can't leave the house or do much of anything, unless I wanna end up in the hospital for more surgery (no thank you!). I really need to read things more carefully before responding, I had thought that the boss was directly sending the OP her political emails instead of her checking them for her boss when the boss is away.

Kidney stones, gallstones, gallbladder, something like that.
Somewhere down there.
I grew up in a medical family, but was the least medically-inclined.
