Anyone know of a dedicated site for debunkying conservative emails?

Does anyone know if there is a site dedicated to investigating those fear-mongering emails that my conservative relatives keep sending me? I know we have Snopes, but I was thinking it would be great if there was a dedicated site, or maybe this site could have something that debunks emails like the one I just got supposedly from a New Jersey housewife. Turns out it was by, you guessed it, a Republican speech-writer doing his part to keep the propaganda machine running. There's a lot of these so-called letters from real folks going around out there, so where's our letters to counteract them?
The folks that send that junk out must read the National Inquirer and other trash newspapers for inspiration...have any of them added alien space craft to their mailings.
Anyone hear Ann Coulter on Hardball get hers from Mrs. Edwards? Someone online suggested Ann needed a new dress!!
For the most part, people ignore my well-composed replies, but I find researching these twisted chain letters is a great way to educate myself with the facts.
There may be a website which is set up to debunk these chain letters. I was hoping that the website "talkingpointsmemo.com" would do that, but they concentrate on doing actual news reporting. (That's a great website, by the way.)
Did you find the letter at Snopes? Care to provide a link to it? Thanks.
