New Electric Car Company Turns Out To Be Hoax Attacking Barack Obama
Filed under: politics, web — Michael Andre d'Estries @ 12:39 pm
Here’s an interesting ploy:
A mysterious announcement popped up on the web a few weeks back declaring that a new car company called FOSH Automotive was about to drop a green bomb on the automotive industry. Their vehicle would be “the first unlimited mileage, electric car with a revolutionary, self-regenerating battery system.” Better yet, such amazing technology would retail below $25,000.” Sign up with your email address and they would update you on their progress.
Of course, bullshit meters went into the red all over the web — but some green sites remained optimistic for when the company would finally reveal its cards.
Turns out, it’s all a hoax — with the original “green car” site now displaying political rants against Barack Obama and showing photos of abortions. “For those that believe we are pulling a hoax,” the site says “You’re dead wrong. The real hoax is barack hussein obama and we are trying to make the world a better place by showing you how easy some people fall for what they want to believe. The United States of America, without the socialist, entitlement supporting, flip-flopping, lying, checkered past barack hussein obama as our leader, is better off, as is the world.”
Even worse, for all those that signed up to be on the “Fosh Automotive” mailing list, their address will now be used to some unknown political means. A truly deceptive tactic that I suppose should come as no surprise.
Check out the conversation going on over at ABG for additional details…
Stuff global warming in your stocking! Dedicate trees this holiday season through 
This is so irritating! Not surprising, but irritating none the less! I could go off on a rant, but I’ll leave it at that:)
Yeah, cause Mc Cain has a GREAT record of not flip-flopping….10 minutes after he said something totally different.
*headdesk*
Just reprehensible! Is there no shame with these kind of people?
Today was voting day here in FL, 11% of Sarasota county voted. Hillsborough
county did even worse at 3 flipping percent! C’mon people get out the vote!
The second someone brings up Obama’s middle name, you know they have nothing else with which to attack him. It’s a cheap shot.
I agree. Totally cheap shot. What a bunch of hypocritical Christian wanna be’s.
[...] people suck! We were reminded of that yesterday with the whole anti-Obama electric car hoax, and today we are once again presented with human suckage with this [...]
disgusting. honestly. just disgusting. everyone is entitled to their own opinion; i guess the difference is that some of us respect that right and others try to make everyone agree with THEM–including using scare tactics and false propaganda. sick.
I’m very disappointed with the biased “GREEN” views toward politics.
Things aren’t as cut and dry as Implied here.
I think it is not fair the opinions being set forth on this site as truths as far as McCain AND Obama are concerned.
They’re right about the car though… it could be Tesla or any other EV out there if only MIT would allow the licensing of their solid state lithium ion chemistry which they’ve been sitting on for years!
It is really boring that you use the name ” hussain” as if to say a word makes him less of a president? How redneck of you
