These can't be true. If so, our future looks dim.

Not true. Old and unsubstantiated stuff published back in 1999 by an online political blog...

Visit Snopes for additional references.

Not only is this guy's shtick pathetic, he needs to get off his fat ass and do a simple search on snopes before making youtube videos about endlessly forwarded e-mails.

This guy is a real douchebag:

Snopes kind of blew it off as "there is no way this could be true". They didn't do any of the research to prove it to be false.

Actually, it's the job of the media to look into people's past during the election in order to question them on these things.

They explained why they didn't prove it to be false: there's nothing specific to look into. The e-mail basically takes an anonymous shotgun approach so that the only way to prove it wrong would take massive resources.

Their take is not "there is no way this could be true," it's more accurately stated as "this is so absurd and conveniently ambiguous, the intelligent thing is to dismiss it."
