Uh..where did Bush or Cheney for that matter formally ask the American public to send them links or websites and e-mails for them to evaluate.

Oh they didn't! Nice try

Ah yes see something say something. Would you rather see something don't say anything and hope it doesn't explode?

Should I assume that you support lying and the spreading of lies, so long as it serves your political agenda?

I can't imagine this is the party of values I have heard so much about. You're defending blatant lies.
It's good that you realize that you're confused, it goes along with being a democrat...!
The only lies being spread are coming directly for the President, the WH, and most of the rest of the ignorant demo's.
It looks like UHC is going down in flames as peole become more educated.
That means their is still hope our country can be saved from the evil dictator.. You should be happy....!
If you don't understand what's going on around you, it's best to keep quiet so no one will know of your short commings

A question to those who voted "No":

Do you condone lies, especially if it is used for political purposes and affects the nation?

Look the government has unlimited resources to battle misinformation. The only purpose for this is intimidation.

Do you think only one side is distorting the truth? Everyone should be smart enough to research the issues for themselves and not count on mommy and daddy to tell them what is true.

Isn't that how they get all their information?
As a real American I call you ignorant, I call you coward, and I call you traitor. I fought for 24 years for this country from the ranks on up through the officer corp, and then lived and worked in Europe and the Middle East - if you want to believe this frauds lies, then you are no better than he and those we are now fighting against.

The left as always breeds the dictators through popularism...Hitler was a stud and had flowers thrown at him, as well as a great orator-where did that lead Germany. Obama has been a racist since suing Citicorp...read up my friend.

This call for information on disinformation smacks of gestapo, or the east german secret police tactics. Quit the whining about the right as the left has done nothing but tear this country down with globalization, and bad mouthing America probably the only country that would tolerate you and yours without violence or death.

The disinformation is fact if you read the health care bills word-for-word. What America needs is not anymore handouts but a big kick in the arse for the freeloaders and welfare animals past 2-3 generations, and the tort lawsuit lawyers. For the common American we need the draft to teach citizenship, responsibility, core values, and a means to earn the right to vote just like ancient Rome did.

Dictators come from the left - Castro, Chavez, Mao, .... keep going...few ever come from the right. And all promise a better way of life with free care and jobs which no real American would ever tolerate or take.

Better dead than Obama red - the Cold War is now being waged at home.

I condone freedom of speech without having to worry about the gov coming after me for using my freedom

Just like when Obama and this white house lies to me. I know its a lie but can I do they have freedom of speech.

Hey can I turn in the white house web site for lying to me?
