Communist states have tight control over the media and force all published information to be from official sources and to be vetted through the state. Yet recently the democratic government of the United States posted the following statement on the White House’s official government web site:
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.
For the federal government to ask Americans to send to them the emails of dissenting voices on the healthcare issue may sound innocent enough but it is far from innocent.
These are the thoughts and practices of totalitarian regimes and it can only lead to nefarious federal targeting of individuals. What will the White House do with this information? Will they promise not to target those who offer their contradictory opinions to the President’s socialized medicine policy? Will they not delve into the identities of those who have a different opinion from the President on the issue?
The White House has actually and officially embarked upon an American witch-hunt by soliciting Americans to turn over dissenters of administration policy.
Hitler did this, Saddam Hussein did this but who in the world ever expected American President Barrack Hussein Obama to do something like this?
Oh of course President Obama’s intent is not as nefarious as Hitler or Saddam Hussein. At least we hope not. But whose to stop him from having the IRS audit a blogger who claims that Obamacare is going to cost all Americans more in taxes and result in a loss of quality healthcare? By the administration’s definition such a statement is disinformation. Will they emulate Iraq and pull down my blog because of that opinion?
Exactly how un-American is the administration prepared to get?
They have already flagged conservatives as terrorists. They have done everything possible to paint those who participate in Tea Party demonstrations as dangerous Republican backed extremists and they have had a mentality similar to the British fists that attempted to quell the first American revolution against the Crown.
I have forwarded the follow message to the White House’s flag@whitehouse.gov email address. It reads as follows:
As for flagging disinformation, I am the author of a political web site that sets the record straight. It defies those policies which increase America’s march to socialism under liberal leadership. The information in it may not quite jive with the propaganda presented by the White House but I offer it to you as a site for you to react to in your vile campaign to flag emails and to police the opinions of the American people.
Perhaps placement in a gulag will be your wish for me. Maybe you will take a page from Iran and take my site down. However the current statist regime wants to treat it, please do. I relish the attention that your heavy handed communist fists would bring by silencing this American. You can find my site at http://politics247.wordpress.com/ . I look forward to your retribution and the ensuing struggle that it will give birth to.
So I fully expect to be placed on a White House terrorist watch list by morning.
And since Gather.com is a platform for my dissenting voice I fully anticipate that it too shall soon fall victim to the government scrutiny and with it so will all of you who state an opinion that contradicts the new American socialist hero and liberal messiah President and Supreme Commanding Ruler Barrack H. Obama.
Heil Obama!

Suppose we just gave everyone a health card that they could use to purchase health services from the doctor of their choice who could charge whatever he can get away with. The doctor gets to take his credits to the bank each week to get paid and the patient gets to pay off his debit when he pays his taxes. Debts that can not be recovered from estates will be written off as welfare. Not sure what you call this. I think that it is free market capitalism. If the debts carried on the health cards are interest free we would also be changing the banking system and taking Government and insurance execs out of the equation.
If you are a terrorist, I guess I am too onlinenap.ning.com
The reason the white house wants to know is so they can correct all the lies your party is spreading around while making any discussion impossible.
They have no ideas so they obstruct.
You can't be serious?
Last time a psycho thought the government was out to get him, he put a truck bomb at the Alfred P. Murrah federal building killing 168 people including some children.
BTW this is getting a lot of traction in the news! A lot of people pissed!
I and many others have been messaging their new e-mail with messages of protest!
I wonder how long before they take it down? LOL!
This has nothing to do with "dissenting voices" and everything to do with correcting the lies that people are pushing around the blogosphere.
Really, if you can't defend your position without lying, maybe that's because the position isn't worth defending.
You should be ashamed of yourself for contributing to the disinformation.
"And since Gather.com is a platform for my dissenting voice I fully anticipate that it too shall soon fall victim to the government scrutiny"
Don't flatter yourself. Nobody actually cares what you say.
Read it for yourselves, people. These guys who excerpt little bits of the whole to "prove their point" are getting on my nerves. I am so tired of these people who have nothing in the way of "concrete proof" and consistently resort to lies by omission and "rewritings" to create the storm. The storm is all in their twisted little minds...
And I quote:
"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."
And from Antony's article:
"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."
O.K. I read it for myself....Where's the lies?
Maybe you should not try to bluff those who are willing to call you on it!
How about the part on the website that states:
"Scary chain emails and videos are starting to percolate on the internet, breathlessly claiming, for example, to "uncover" the truth about the President’s health insurance reform positions."
This part isn't reported on those "'expose" sites and blogs. If you only repeat the stuff that you know will start a fire, and leave out the stuff that may control or prevent said fire, it is still a lie by omission. Honest journalism will report good and bad and leave the discerning of the relevancy up to reader. Honest journalism would have cited sources, preferably legitimate ones, as I did by providing the website in question.
No. This 'editorial' is yellow journalism, to be sure.
How does that part of the statement "control the fire"?
It's like a worthless disclaimer.
Or are you just against people being able to protect themselves from the lies you and others tell?
This is the same tactic used by Hannity, Limbaugh and Beck. Tell just enough to start a fire. But don't say anything that will ultimately make you look the fool you are, in reality, acting.
Isn't our government wonderful... phhhtttt.
The current practice is tantamount to extortion.
An unisured poor man approached our church asking for $100,000 for a heart transplant. We could never reach that amount, he DIED.
HE DIED BECAUSE HE WAS POOR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
HE DIED BECAUSE HE WAS POOR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Under Obamacare he would have died on the waiting list!
Prove it.
A local radio hate jock LIED and said a kid was expelled from school for refusing to salute a Mexican flag. Sure enough an IDIOT believed it and called the station demanding to know which school it was so he could "Confront" them. The angry caller even scared the hate jock.
These idiots will not be happy till their LIES turn one of their psychos into a killer.
Timothy McVeigh anyone?
William Ayers anyone?
William Ayers anyone? (Dan E)
Can't help lying, eh, Dan?
Number of people killed by:
Timothy McVeigh: 168 *
William Ayers: 0
* Of course, that was just his terrorist activity. It doesn't count any Iraqis he killed as a decorated veteran of the United States Army during the Gulf War.

He's making a list, checking it twice, gonna find out who's "naughty" or "nice".............
Please read this so AT LEAST you can understand some of the frustration out there:
1. The legislation known as "Health Care Reform" is now called "Health Insurance Reform".
2. The President speaks on health care reform, makes promises, and yet there is no finalized bill. And what we've seen to date is far from what he is touting.
3. The President of the United States asking citizens to report 'something fishy' is fishy, probably illegal, but most definitely goes against the grain of our Freedom of Speech. I don't understand why this page is still on Whitehouse.gov. It's a huge mistake and the President is certainly intelligent enough to figure this out.
4. You have the democratic leadership pointing to very small, isolated incidents to paint all those speaking out against the sweeping changes as 'operatives', 'carrying swastikas', 'mobs' and my all time favorite, 'fringe' -- when we know damned well these are average, hard working, tax paying Americans that are truly frightened by what is coming out of Washington.
YES.... WE ALL WANT REFORM. But we do NOT want this sweeping reform. Take baby steps and do it slowly over time. This way, we all understand what it is that is being voted on. I do respect President Obama's good intentions, but I have to disagree with the haphazerdly, rushed manner -- this is too big to get it wrong.

Obama/Pelosi are crossing new ground for this country, with their Markest and Communist views that they are forcing in the Government. It is like Jefferson said, the worst threat of this Country will from within, and he warned about the government being that threat. Here Obama and Pelosi are making his fears come true.
Bingo!
It seems to me that folks like Anthony, Dan R., Don H., etc. love TheLies™ and hate, hate, HATE TheFreedom™.
