Call For Informants: If You Oppose Obamacare, Even in ‘Casual Conversation,’ the White House Wants to Know About It

If you see anybody publicly opposing President Obama’s plan to implement a government-centric overhaul of the health care system, the White House wants you to report that person (or persons) ASAP.

From the White House website:

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.

Emphasis added. Of course, as we’ve seen in the health care debate to date, the term “disinformation” is used by the Obama White House as a catchall to describe any opposition to the President’s push for single-payer, government-run health care — meaning the White House wants to be informed of any forwarded emails or blog posts or any “casual conversations” that could be taken as opposition to their health care overhaul plan.

The White House has, as yet, offered no explanation of what it is they plan to do with the tips on policy opposition they hope to receive from citizen informers.

Interestingly, as Jake Tapper pointed out on Twitter this morning, the title of that post on the White House is a quote from John Adams’ 1770 “Argument in Defense of the Soldiers in the Boston Massacre Trials.”

What is so unbelievable? Just because you are supposed to report any dissenter to Big Brother....I mean the KGB...I mean the socialists running the White House? Doesn't seem at all fishy to me.

They were particularly offended by the disinformation being circulated in the form of a video of Obama talking about his health care goals.

And about criticism.. you're right. These people can not take it. They aren't used to it. They exist in a vacuum of group think and philosophical purity. Obama more so than most.

Rush is right, they don't want to hear about what we want, thhey are to concerned about what they want, and what they think will make them look better at the end. I think its awesome that people are comig out to these townhall style meetings held by the dems and letting them have it.

Michelle Malkin has organized a movement of people who are swamping the 'informant' site with an enormous volume of emails.

GREAT!!!

Wasn't it Obama telling his constituents to "get in people's face" during the last days of the election? Can you say "double standard"?

Not to mention the entire left wing and the media (and all the libs on this site) whining about so-called DOMESTIC SPYING ON AMERICANS.

What the hell is this, if not DOMESTIC SPYING?

I just never thought that I'd see this country dragged down like it is now by this goobersmoocher.
