Lawmakers Rip White House for "Orwellian" Blog Post on Health Care

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 the White House post.

“A White House blog post ... has sparked outrage among lawmakers,

Because it began with, “Thoughtcrime does not entail death. Thoughtcrime IS death.”?

I reported that I saw a fishy, false special about Health Care on ABC a few weeks ago.

Is anybody keeping tack of impeachable offenses being committed by this guy?

for example, to 'uncover' the truth about the President's health insurance reform positions,"

The president's health insurance reform positions are a series of vague generalities and desires. The real battle should be over the House and Senate bills. Obama knows that no one can fight his "plans" because they have no solid positions, unlike the Congressional bills.

I encourage anyone who thinks it useful in any way to send a note of some type to flag@whitehouse.gov ... protest their brownshirt tactics, report someone, or yourself, ask what gives them the right to do this, call them NAZIs, whatever.

Do it.

I have had a great time today forwarding all of my spam to them, with a copy of the house bill.

I realize that I probably have now been put on their “enemies” list. But I probably already was as a Christian, Gun Owning, History Reading, Bumper Stickering, Conservative/Libertarian leaning, Veteran.

It's also fun to sign up for membership at AARP, SEIU, DNC, and the like using the flag@whitehouse.gov as a return address. I've had a ball doing this today (they are simple addresses--just the acronym plus com or org).

Sometimes my message is the simple "Oh what a tangled web we weave / When first we practice to deceive."

Here’s what I just sent to flag@whitehouse.gov. So who knows, that knock on our door tonight will either be the Schwan man, or one of Sec. Janet’s goons.

I want to report something fishy regarding the proposed health care reform. It would be House Bill 3200!!!!

I beat my neighbors to the punch in regard to reporting me, because they agree!

You should all be ashamed of yourselves that you resort to the scare tactics of a dictatorship, or the McCarthy Era.

Go ahead and warn Sec. Napolitano so she can put me on one of her watchlists.

Thanks. I already have. In fact, I “turned in” the fishiest, most criminally untruthful commentator on healthcare I could think of— Obama himself. I suggested they watch him closely and keep track of his friends and associates. Funny, but I have yet to be thanked for my email!
