I think there's a big difference between presenting those messages to the test group as part of an experiment or survey and sending it to them as an actual spam email. In the latter case, if I were in the survey group and actually read the message (which is very unlikely since it would be spam), I wouldn't even consider letting my political standpoint be influenced by it. I would trust the message it conveyed as much as I trust the people behind all the other spam messages I receive, which is to say not at all.

Note we are only allowed to discuss this as spam and not politics. It's getting hazy here.
