I just read an article by Rick Klein; the White House is urging Americans to inform on their neighbors who don't want Obamacare. -
Yesterday, White House director of new media Macon Phillips wrote a blog posting urging readers to flag questionable claims about health care proposals.
“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.”
Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, is sending a letter to the White House today asking the president to “cease this program immediately” -- or to explain how Americans’ privacy will be protected if e-mails are forwarded to the White House as requested.
Cornyn specifically asks whether those who quote the president’s past statements -- such as his 2003 statement that he was a “proponent” of single-payer care -- qualifies as “disinformation.” He also asks what actions the White House would take against those engaging in “fishy” speech.
Meanwhile, Nancy Pelosi claims that Obamacare protesters are "carrying swasticas and symbols like that to town hall meetings on healthcare."
If you haven't seen the many videos of protesters at town hall meetings on health care, you're missing out. Here's the best I've seen. It makes my day to see Arlen Specter booed for being an idiot. In the clip, he actually tries to defend himself for not reading the 1,000 pg health care bill before voting on it.
If nothing else, at least these foxes are good for a laugh.
