I use Snopes almost every day. I don't hesitate to reply to the garbage emails that I get from people I know well. I always start off with the pleasantries and then I provide them with the Snopes page link that directly addresses the email they sent me. I really don't want to lose friends, but I just can't let the passing on of this kind of garbage to go unchecked. I've got to at least try. Sometimes, I even do a "Reply All" if I keep getting unchecked stuff from the same email-er. That usually gets their attention.
Factcheck.org is a good site for checking mostly political stuff.

I do the same. If history is any indication these types of emails from ALL sources will be on the increase in the coming months.
