Call For Informants: If You Oppose Obamacare, the White House Wants to Know About It

redstate.com ^ | August 04, 2009 | Jeff Emanuel

[Attention Surplus Disorder]

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.”

I had to chop the title, the original is: Call For Informants: If You Oppose Obamacare, Even in ‘Casual Conversation,’ the White House Wants to Know About It

Another pleasant development.

Here's my response:

Sides are being drawn. The President has come out and urged his minions and useful idiots to "turn us in" if we speak out against this monstrosity health bill.

So be it.

This is getting to a stage where we have to stand up straight. We're not like the Jews in Germany and Poland, we're not like the Russian farmers or Chinese peasants.

We know our rights, we are now cowed, and are willing to fight and die for those rights if necessary...and we are armed.

I love this country, I love the constitution and the rule of law based on it...but this is not that and it is the fast road to tyranny.

So, NO, I will not comply with these assinine statments. What I will do is speak up all the louder, redouble my efforts, and challenge them straight to their marxist faces.

If they want to curtail my free speech, they are going to have to literally fight me over it.

[bareford101]

this has been posted twice today.... simply email them and turn in the obamanation as a liar /thief /terrorist /communist/ baby killer, etc

that should keep the brown shirts busy for a while

[April Lexington]

Maybe someone should just point those fools over here to Free Republic. Plenty of “fishy” stuff here!

[DarthVader]

Another development to drive nails into the Democrat’s coffin. Rush, Mark and Hannity will shout this outrage from the housetops. The military is watching.

They don't have to spy. I'll just say it to their face. 1ST Amendment freedom of speech. If the first amendment is gone... then the rest is gone too. I'm buyin me some slaves!

I just got a very deep chill when I read this.

Things are getting stranger by the day.

[Attention Surplus Disorder]

“this has been posted twice today”

Sorry, I got no (recent) results from searching on “oppose” or “informants”.

[April Lexington]

The military is watching.

I wish the military would escort Mr. Soetoro or whatever his name is, out of the White House and into Fort Leavenworth...so President Biden (I can't believe I'm typing this) can get on with the People's Business.

Hey, kids! Email Dear Leader a report on your parents!

Nearly all children nowadays were horrible. What was worst of all was that by means of such organizations as the Spies they were systematically turned into ungovernable little savages, and yet this produced in them no tendency whatever to rebel against the discipline of the Party. On the contrary, they adored the Party and everything connected with it… All their ferocity was turned outwards, against the enemies of the State, against foreigners, traitors, saboteurs, thought-criminals. It was almost normal for people over thirty to be frightened of their own children.

Fun for the whole family.

First I have to find a phone booth about 50 miles from my home, THEN I will make that phone call. If I am to be traced, will do it on my own terms.

[Safrguns]

Hey Obama... whether you pass it or not... your not getting a dime from me to pay for it.

Pass this bill, and i’ll just go on strike.

You can tell me how much of what I earn belongs to you,
BUT YOU CAN’T TELL ME HOW MUCH TO EARN!!!

Stick that in your crack pipe and smoke it.

[bareford101]

happens to me all the time....:D

[madison10]

Phone call against the plan, not snitching on someone with an opinion.

If Obozo keeps acting this way and overstepping his constitutional authority we will have President Plugs for sure courtesy of the US Armed Forces.

I reported Linda Douglas. She is the propaganda minister for the White House Health Reform office. I encourage everyone to do the same.

Well, uh, I think that’s what citizens have been trying to tell you dumbazzes
so watch the video and learn from one of your own.

cudos to Ranita for furnishing this video.

Calling all Nazi Brown Shirts; turn in your parents; turn in any and all of your relatives; turn in your friends.

This is what happens when evil is allowed to grow unchecked.

If that doesn’t say volumes, nothing does. Right out of the real 1984, not the revised one.

We also need to report this site: http://www.whitehouse.gov. It has all kinds of misinformation on it!

If this wasn’t the only thing that made me feel that way.

Six months into their reign, the Bolsheviks, Nazis, Maoists, Hugo Chavez or Fidel Castro wouldn't have dared pull the stunts that Mr. Obama does. Of course, none of them had thousands of nuclear weapons, dozens of aircraft carrier battle groups, pilot-less drones, spy satellites, the NSA and USMC at their fingertips.

[Terry Mross]

My hope is that there are people in the military who will stand up and that at least half of the cops across the land will refuse to go along. County Sheriffs may be who saves this country.

[Jeff Head]

There are many of them already prepared

[Terry Mross]

Question: Who among us would stand up if we KNEW some trumped up charges were being leveled at 1% of the members of freerepublic?

[Trod Upon]

If you don’t already own an assault rifle, you might think about buying it soon people. Don’t forget extra magazines.

We may well have already nailed all the Obama "truth squad" people who were coming into FR to "discuss things".

They are such dorks it's a wonder they can walk in a straight line from their cubicles in the basement to the beer cooler.

Anyway, I am willing to tell them a story of deep intrigue involving my Congresscritter and what he said when I proposed various healthful and energy saving legislative initiative.

[wiggen]

sent my response and damn it felt good.
also listening to an old song by the Jefferson Airplane-Volunteers of America. maybe not in the sense they originally meant it.

[linn37]

I oppose the government running health care. The white house is free to call and ask me why.

[Tainan]

Its in the wind Jeff....that smell is in the wind.

[Freedom'sWorthIt]

Thanks for that definition of socialism - it’s needed. Many youngsters - and oldsters too - have no idea what socialism really is. It is communism - light. And you are quite right - it is Tyranny!

[Tainan]

Thats the new anthem...play it loud!

[Jeff Head]

This latest gust out of Washington, direct from the Whitehouse, reeks with the stench of it, of tyranny, totalitariansm and currupt marxists.

Now more than ever, we must find hundreds of thousands...millions...to stand with us on this project, right in their face:

Join us, and invite as many as you know to do the same and invite as many as they know.

We are going to deliver these signatures, en masse, to Washington DC, and they need to know that the numbers are so overwhelming and that most of those numbers are armed citizens who are serious about restoring our Constitution...which document these people hate.

GOD bless them every one. I see they have Sgt. Beale’s Funeral Procession video. I posted it here when it first happened. Anyone who didn’t see it should follow your link and watch it. It will have you in tears, man or woman. It is one of the most awesome displays of Patriotism and one of the greatest Tributes to a Fallen Hero I have ever seen.

We cannot allow FREEDOM to die.
