WHITE HOUSE WANTS YOU TO RPT PEOPLE WHO OPPOSE OBAMA
Posted 3:10 PM August 4, 2009
THE WHITE HOUSE IS ASKING PEOPLE TO REPORT PEOPLE WHO OPPOSE OBAMA'S HEALTHCARE PLAN. THEY'RE ASKING THAT YOU REPORT PEOPLE WHO SEND OUT EMAILS OR POST ON WEB SITES AGAINST IT.
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.
In this video, Linda Douglass, the communications director for the White House’s Health Reform Office, addresses one example that makes it look like the President intends to "eliminate" private coverage, when the reality couldn’t be further from the truth.
It is the ones who are working so hard to spread "missinformation" that are appaled that efforts to speak to truth and debunk rumors are being made! There is nothing that asks for any personal information, only alerts to "rumors"!
Why are conservatives so eager to bury the truth about this issue (excluding, of course the ones who's own self interest or lack of mental ablity) shields them from the truth? Perhaps because it is widely believed that the administration that actually "fixes" the health care problem, in the U.S. for the great majority of citizens, will be hard to beat in upcoming elections!
Uh..what's the point. Disinformation is being disseminated and the Whitehouse should counter that with the truth..Where did it say the "White house wants you to rpt people who oppose obama"?
they want to hear what rumors are circulating about the health care plan, so they can respond to them.
there is no indication that they want to know who the rumors came from.
You find nothing wrong with the government wanting citizens to report other citizens who say things against obama's plan? This is something out of a fascist or communist country, not a free country.
there is a huge difference between reporting PEOPLE and reporting RUMORS.
nowhere does it say "pass on the names/websites of people disseminating rumors". they just want to know what the rumors are, and with the speed that things travel over the internet, having people passing things on directly when they hear me is the most effective way to hear this stuff.
Though they mention 'casual conversation' they only ask people to send in reports of what they think is 'fishy' originating in emails or web postings. I don't see a problem here.
Here's what I think is 'fishy'. Claiming that a total make over of the health care delivery system, which is the goal of all the bills under consideration, is reform. Call it what it is: the foundation for the eventual conversion to a single payer system a la the UK.
government just keeps getting bigger and bigger. gotta love this retard president of ours.
