White House Call For Informants:

If You Oppose Obamacare, Even in ‘Casual Conversation,’ the White House Wants to Know About It

If you see anybody publicly opposing President Obama’s plan to implement a government-centric overhaul of the health care system, the White House wants you to report that person (or persons) ASAP.

From the White House website:

"There is a lot of disinformation about health insurance reform out there, spanning from control of personal finances to end of life care. These rumors often travel just below the surface via chain emails or through casual conversation. Since we can’t keep track of all of them here at the White House, we’re asking for your help. If you get an email or see something on the web about health insurance reform that seems fishy, send it to
flag@whitehouse.gov."

Emphasis added. Of course, as we’ve seen in the health care debate to date, the term “disinformation” is used by the Obama White House as a catchall to describe any opposition to the President’s push for single-payer, government-run health care — meaning the White House wants to be informed of any forwarded emails or blog posts or any “casual conversations” that could be taken as opposition to their health care overhaul plan.

The White House has, as yet, offered no explanation of what it is they plan to do with the tips on policy opposition they hope to receive from citizen informers.
Interestingly, as Jake Tapper pointed out on Twitter this morning, the title of that post on the White House is a quote from John Adams’ 1770 Argument in Defense of the Soldiers in the Boston Massacre Trials.”

Don't you suppose those morons working in the White House have more to do than read email? Surely there are more pressing problems within the United States than to worry about peoples personal emails.

How about giving the general public a little credit, Mr. President. Not all of us believe everything we read. We can reason and read between the lines. And there are alot of us that don't believe everything we hear. So.........shut your trap, Mr. President. Quit trying to push something on us, that in time, will become nothing but socialism. The more you talk, Mr. President, the more alot of Americans don't listen. We're like teenagers, in that respect.

Gee! White House getting email from "tattle tail public".

I reported my 85-year old Republican mother to flag@whitehouse.gov and asked them to "straighten her out". She said she was against euthanasia for the elderly in lieu of costly medical treatment.

It wouldn't surprise me coming from the liberal left. Most libtards don't like anyone older than they are at the time.
