The president has no business calling for citizens to be spies. If Bush did this the same people supporting this would be in a panic.

If I send a message through their website, with some quotes of what I heard, how do you suppose they will find the source? Magic? Do they have psychics?

I suppose they are going to send the Men in Black to people's homes and brainwash them with their magic potion or they will simply execute them!

The tinfoil hat looks good on you but you may want to remove it so it doesnt mess up your hair.

Typically just pasting the quotes in an internet search will turn up the material.

Fortunately for those of us that love this country and cherish our freedom, the average American is not the weak minded simpleton that falls at the feet of the community organizer. We will email, write, march and protest...then we will vote.

Here are just a couple of the rumors going around that I heard:

A government worker will contact everyone over 65 to ask them how they want to die and the government is going to execute all of them.

Everyone that is on their death bed will be left alone to die without care.

We will be establishing leper colonies for people with serious diseases.

By reading those, you can see the kind of information that the administration wants to know about.

They dont care if anyone opposes the plan, they just want to make sure everyone has the facts so that if they choose to oppose it, they are doing so using factual information.
This is outside the realm of what the GOV should be doing. It is thuggery plain n simple Chicago/Hitler style crap. He does not need to know who only the information itself if he must know.
So are people who oppose going to start going missing? Or how about IRS troubles. Or trumped up charges of terrorist charges?

I agree. If Bush did it they would storm the White House.

That is what Hitler said, you know. The bigger the lie, the more folks will accept it. Maybe you are so clouded by the stars in your eyes that you wouldn't see the sky if it did fall on you. Ever think of that?
And the tingle up the leg!

You do realize that is what he is asking for? He only wants to know what misinformation is floating around out there, not who is saying it.

You basically just agreed with everyone you are debating with. Good job.

Holy cow! Are you really that paranoid? Or do you have to work on it? The WH is asking for information, not names!

No I did not all he has to do is tune into fox, run one of his little polls or ask the GOP what their people want.

Having Americans spy on other Americans and turn them in for the cause is Hitler all over again.
