The Obama Administration rejected concerns that it is collecting information from the Internet for the purpose of compiling an “enemies list.”
“Granted, we are gathering information—names, addresses, and the like—from those who have posted comments critical of the Administration’s policies,” admitted White House spokesman Nicholas Shapiro. “But our purpose is to better target future educational efforts.”
Shapiro contended that “so much of the opposition to the President and his program is based on ignorance and erroneous information that it should be obvious to any sound thinking person that many in our country need a significant amount of reeducation. Rather than just randomly splash this effort around, keeping a list of those most in need will be conducive to ensuring that the right people get the right message.”

And there you have it!
Wow! What a paranoid administration! Almost Nixonesque, well now that I think about it, more than Nixonesque.
Say what....?
Good one, John. I suspect that Obama and his minions think this even though they usually have sense enough not to say it.
Make that ... “But our purpose is to better target future RE-educational efforts.”
"First we start with the children!"
Hey Obama, put me on there and bring it on, you closet-fruit, anti-American commie bastard. Screw you and everyone in your Administration. And when all is said and done, you’ll be said and done.
Oh man! Shaking head, chuckling.
I’ve compiled an enemies list...it only took a yellow sticky note, since the only name written is the OBAMA ADMINISTRATION.

F U B H O !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sorry, this administration has so blurred the line between truth and satire that it is no longer possible to know which is which.
Just imagine the outrage had Pres. Bush done something like this. Obama, et al, remind me of NIXON!
Damn right.
you forgot the crack head part
good post
SS, your boss sucks. Don't you guys find him just an itsy-bitsy creepy? Me, I would quit before working one more day for this STASI/GESTAPO/STALINESQUE administration.
A 2002 Tulane graduate, Nick Shapiro, left, became assistant press secretary for President Barack Obama, right, after gaining public relations savvy in New Orleans.
He was a dedicated laborer on John Kerry’s 2004 presidential campaign. After Kerry’s defeat in the election, Shapiro quickly bounced back with a job with the Obama for America effort.
“you forgot the crack head part”
You know what, you’re right. I apologize for the oversight. Always interested in accuracy and thoroughness here.........!!
just trying to be helpful........... ;)
Much appreciated. Many thanks!
Yeah...reeducation. You remember...like in Red Dawn, when the commies had the townspeople corraled in the outdoor movie theatre and were shown commie propaganda 24/7.
That’s leftist code for “brainwashing”, in case you didn’t know.
And hey, they might even throw in a little torture, just for good measure. Some of us might resist better than others, dontcha know.
....many in our country need a significant amount of reeducation...
Haven’t communist countries often instituted “reeducation centers”?
Gee,where have we heard this before and I wonder what the boxcars will look like?
I like your name and particularly liked the homosexual agenda piece on CA earlier citing Harry Cheeks in the article was profound.
It's called READING.
And I started with the Constitution

Indeed, they have...

Thankfully they cannot find out who we really all. Nick names protect who you are.
With sufficient resources (and the government has them) you can be traced from nickname right to your computer’s network adapter. The Internet isn’t nearly as anonymous as we all like to think. How do you think they get to the kiddie porn peddlers who hide behind anonymous forums and emails?
And what are the “sufficient resources” the government has that can anyone down, do you know?
There are electronic eavesdropping techniques I don’t fully understand, but have had mentioned by a couple intelligence types I know + the government has, for lack of a better word, “hackers” on the payroll + the ability to lean on ISPs informally; if they think they have something prosecutable they can just seek a subpoena for the information (as with the pornographers). IP traffic is logged, and though you may have a new IP assigned every session it is linked to the carrier and the carrier has records of which IPs were assigned to which customer accounts. You do get into forensics eventually, but it’s doable. The difficulty in prosecutions usually isn’t lack of information but rather difficulty in getting it admitted. None of that will matter in the event of a truly tyrannical regime. For example: http://www.slate.com/id/2221397/
