Following a furor over how the data would be used, the White House has shut down an electronic tip box — flag@whitehouse.gov — that was set up to receive information on “fishy” claims about President Barack Obama’s health plan.

E-mails to that address now bounce back with the message: “The e-mail address you just sent a message to is no longer in service. We are now accepting your feedback about health insurance reform via http://www.whitehouse.gov/realitycheck.”

The “flag” service was introduced Aug. 4, with a White House blog post saying: “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.”

Snitch mail is closed!

They were swamped by false reports and spam. They are idiots to even start something like this.
Where’s the joker picture? That’s who’s running the WH.
But the jokes on them.

[Islander7]

Too many reports have WH in panic.

The Obama Townhall's????

But the solicitation for informants is still up.

Doggone it, and we made all these clever posters too!

Write the new site and report yourself and your intentions anyway.

What a scam this administration is. Good grief. How did it ever get to this? Anything would have been better than Bammy. Even grumpy old Hilary.

FOX interviewed an ACLU lawyer earlier. He’s on our side says it has some First Amendment issues.

Feed-back, my a@@.

It’s a straight propaganda site.

I sent in the lyrics to the song “Fish Heads” and one with a screen capture from Monty Pythons Fish slapping dance. I sent them from the computer at our library. I figured they had mine already.

It’s obvious why:

They weren’t collecting “fishy people”. That will come later.

They were collecting “snitches”. “Finks”. People who are willing to grass on their neighbors.

After two weeks, they have recruited enough. This administration is not stupid or incompetent. When it comes to doing things the proven Socialist way, they are Efficient.

flag@whitehouse.gov has been a resounding success. Its time has now passed. They move on to the next phase: organize, finance, and mobilize the Grasses and the Supergrasses.

You have been warned. It ain’t over, yet. In fact, it has just begun.

“What a scam this administration is.”

The Town Hall Meetings with the human props is what sent me over the edge.
