Spammers target the left as well

I usually just delete the spam without reading it. Maybe I should pay attention - this one showed up in my inbox today:

From:Mrs hassan.

Attn:The Managing Director

Before I proceed, may I humbly introduce myself to your goodself, My Name is Mrs. Amina hassan, an Iraqi refugee ,my husband was until recently, one of the personal aid to the president of Iraq who was formerly overthrown out of power by American Government .

Prior to this last serious crisis that is still ravaging in my country,which recently led to misfortune of our government and my late husband position as the personal aid to the president, we were able to come over here in Thailand ,we inherited the sum of US$11 million.The funds were originally gotten from my late husband proceeds.

The rest is the usual plea for additional contact to further the scam.

While not universal, there are plenty on the left who feel that the overthrow of Saddam Hussein was wrong. Apparently, the scammers are narrowing their demographic to increase their success.

After all, the folks who can be conned with even the most lunatic conspiracy theories regarding the Bush administration (in spite of evidence to the contrary) must be ready-made targets for this kind of scam that preys on the most gullable and emotion-driven of our society.

Note to scammers: If you can craft an email that contends that every breath Bush takes admits to breaking the law, I know where you can hit paydirt...
