Report your neighbor, before he reports you
It is no doubt seared, just seared, into your memory how the fascist Bush regime instituted a program to monitor traitors who dared to criticize Bush policy. Recall that the White House even set up an email address to be used for submitting anonymous reports on dissenters and their activities.
What’s that you say? It never happened? Ok, you got me. It never did. Sometimes searing memories fool you.
On a totally different topic, the Obama White house needs your help keeping tabs on reactionary swine who are trying to undermine the Revolution. Straight from whitehouse.gov.
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.
Here’s a screen capture, just in case that announcement falls down the memory hole.

You gotta love that address: flag@whitehouse.gov. Don’t forget to salute, early and often. You probably know a lot of people who could do with a little scrutiny. If in doubt, turn them in.
Hope and Chains, brother. Hope and Chains. Viva la Revolucion!

I love when sentences begin with “The President has consistently said..”, and you can find clips all over the net where he talks both sides of an issue and contradicts himself. It’s like a person who begins a sentence with “To tell you the truth..”, I just know a lie is coming. I thought Bush and Clinton lied a lot, but mr. O is in his own league.
I got a first hand report from my mother today that this sort of disinformation is circulating on the web. And she can’t understand why her conservative friends can’t use a little “common sense.”
Neither she nor I have any intention of reporting this material to anybody.
But the Palin “death panel” garbage and the comparisons at rallies of President Obama to Hitler is beyond the pale.
The demagoguery and fear-mongering is getting us no where. Where we differ on health care policy, we need a common sense debate.
Both sides used the Hitler comparison in the first week of “debate.” During the Iraq war protests, the dems screamed “free speech” and the repubs screemed “traitors” It was very amusing to see how each side moved seamlessly to the other side of the argument regarding political protest, and then quickly pointed to their opponents as the only hypocrits.
I do not believe we need to debate a health care policy. The debate is weather there should be a health care policy in the first place. I, for one, don’t believe the government’s role to be involved unless one chooses to go to the government for medical treatment.
Dr. D, you clearly don’t know what’s best for you. The government does. And if you doubt how well they will run health care, just look at the huge successes of the War on Poverty and the War on Drugs. Stop thinking and just trust them
My favorite is the Dept of Energy, which was started in Carter’s presidency with a mandate to make the US energy independent. I really need to get with the program, with a track record like that I should be more trusting. They have earned it.
