Although the White House has downplayed their ObamaCare opposition "snitch" program and redirected "fishy" claims to their new "Reality Check" site, let's remember that this fiasco has been part of their downfall. This humorous article offers more than three dozen sample email letters to send to the Big Brother's House. Most are hilarious; a couple of them are serious. Part 5and its related predecessor (equally humorous): Part 3

Imagine it's four years ago and an aide to President George W. Bush posted a blog on the Whitehouse.gov Web site that bemoaned Internet criticism of the Iraq war, then continued: "These rumors often travel just below the surface via chain e-mails or through casual conversations.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 e-mail or see something on the Web about anti-war protests that seem fishy, send it to flag@whitehouse.gov." Substitute the words "health insurance reform" for "anti-war protests," and you get the exact wording...

It is amazing that people are writting to this site and saying there is no need for a snitch to write in, they are not afraid in the least to identify themselved as non-believers in the way he has handled healthcare or the bailout programs.

Since Obama was elected we have seen the left and the MSM becoming some of the worst hypocrites imaginable. Here is another nail in the hypocrite coffin: Remember when Ari Fleischer said Americans should "watch what they say?" Back then, the ACLU said that was a warning to "remind us how easily our precious First Amendment rights can be lost." The White House snitch program under President Obama, though, is just a "bad idea that could send a troublesome message." They also want you to know that even though the White House may be collecting personal information, it's cool...they're totally...

The White House strategy of turning supporters into snitches when they see "fishy" information about the health care debate may run afoul of the law, legal experts say. "The White House is in bit of a conundrum because of this privacy statute that prohibits the White House from collecting data and storing it on people who disagree with it," Judge Andrew Napolitano, a FOX News analyst, said Friday. "There's also a statute that requires the White House to retain all communications that it receives. It can't try to rewrite history by pretending it didn't receive anything," he said. "If the...

Robert Gibbs assured Jake Tapper that the new White House initiative to get people to snitch on their neighbors for dissenting on ObamaCare had nothing to do with collecting names. Oh, no — that would not be Hope and Change! Instead, it has everything to do with collecting our e-mails: Asked about Cornyn’s letter on Thursday afternoon, White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs said, “nobody is collecting names.” The blog and tips email was because, Gibbs said, “we have seen, and as I’ve discussed from this podium, a lot of misinformation around health care reform. Some of it I think...

n an unprecedented move for American democracy, the Obama Administration is collecting names of citizens who disagree with their policies and legislative proposals. Gary Bauer, Don Wildmon, and all of us at Concerned Women for America will surely make the list because we have alerted our constituents to the Administration’s new efforts to label as extremists all conservatives and anyone else who opposes their proposed legislation and government takeover of private industry. Indeed, the new narrative of the liberal left is that anyone who disagrees with government bailouts as a means of taking over corporate America, or continued trillion-dollar federal...

I am a Fishy-American. And this is my fishy blog. That's right. I'm pronouncing it here and now. Consider this my John Hancock. The White House is asking snitches to report anything fishy: "If you get an email or see something on the web about health insurance reform that seems fishy, send it to flag@whitehouse.gov." Well let me save all those beleaguered President Obama supporters the hassle because I reported myself to the White House as a "Fishy American." And this is my fishy blog. I want you to say it after me in the combox "I am a fishy...

Freepers, we need to flood the Whitehouse Healthcare Reform snitch line inbox. Send these morons an e-mail, let them know how you feel. If enough people do this, we can shut it down! Send your e-mails to flag@whitehouse.gov

Here is video of White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs today at a press briefing saying that nobody at the White House is collecting names of people who oppose Obama policies. Gibbs said this in response to the furor created by a White House posting yesterday on their website asking people to send in information about people who oppose Obama's Government Health Care. Gibbs was very defensive as he was pressed on the matter by Jake Tapper of ABC, and Major Garrett from Fox News. At the 6:22 mark of the video Gibbs accuses a reporter of "hatching some nefarious...

Email to the White House snitchline Look at this email to the White House snitchline from a reader at Stop the ACLU. I did not write this I'm just sharing it with you. A letter to President Barack Obama, sent to flag@whitehouse.gov Greetings, sir, I pray for your health and that God may grant you peace and wisdom. I am writing to you at this email address because of a post at the White House blog that, frankly, sir, has me a bit concerned. I am certain that you are committed to freedom and liberty and do not intend on...

The Web and the nets are agog with wonder today at the latest attempt at thought policing by a White House and a President that seems to be extraordinarily sensitive to even the appearance of criticism. The latest evidence of this is news that Linda Douglass, Mr. Obama's point person for communications on health care, and her video (posted on the WhiteHouse.gov website) urging all "concerned citizens" -- we assume she means those citizens who voted for Barack Obama -- to send her and the other party apparatchiks staffing what passes for the White House Communications Office these days so-called...

I have read and re-read President Obama's plea to help him further his Healthcare Bill by, in part, reporting to the White House anyone who is seen to be treasonously resisting the bill in any way. Accordingly, I have sent to flash@whitehouse.gov the following letter: Dear Mr.President: I want to help. I notice that part of your bill will require that you have electronic access to/control of all private bank accounts in order to ensure that citizens pay their fair share of the freight. That is an admirable goal. Unfortunately, it is also my observation that many of your most...

We and many others have ridiculed the Obama administration's heavy-handed effort to gather information on the "fishy" opponents of its government medicine proposal (Bryon York), meanwhile, takes a serious look at the legal implications of the administration's data-gathering program: In a letter to Obama Tuesday, Republican Sen. John Cornyn wrote that, given Phillips' request, "it is inevitable that the names, email address, IP addresses, and private speech of U.S. citizens will be reported to the White House." Cornyn warned the president that "these actions taken by your White House staff raise the specter of a data collection program." "I can...

White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs dismisses a question from a reporter asking about the flag@whitehouse.gov email address.

A White House blog post calling on readers to report "fishy" information about health care reform to the administration has sparked outrage among lawmakers, who question Obama's definition of illegitimate information, as well as the retaliatory tactics they say are dangerously Orwellian. In a blog post entitled "Facts are Stubborn Things," the White House had a disparaging take on the torrents of negative information flooding Internet discussion of Obama's health care legislation. "Scary chain emails and videos are starting to percolate on the internet, breathlessly claiming, for example, to 'uncover' the truth about the President's health insurance reform positions," said...
