Obama has turned Hitlerian.

NLPC has uncovered a plan by the White House New Media operation to hire a technology vendor to conduct a massive, secret effort to harvest personal information on millions of Americans from social networking websites.
The information to be captured includes comments, tag lines, emails, audio, and video. The targeted sites include Facebook, Twitter, MySpace, YouTube, Flickr and others – any space where the White House “maintains a presence.”
In the course of investigating procurement by the White House New Media office, NLPC discovered a 51-page solicitation of bids that was filed on Friday, August 21, 2009. Filed as Solicitation # WHO-S-09-0003, it is posted at FedBizzOps.com. Click here to download a 51-page pdf of the solicitation.
While the solicitation specifies a 12-month contract, it allows for seven one-year extensions. It specifies no dollar cap. Other troubling issues include:
extremely broad secrecy terms preventing the vendor from disclosing to the public or the media what information is being captured and archived (page 7, “Restriction Against Disclosure”)
wholesale capturing of comments by non-White House staff on publicly accessible sites
capturing of content of any type (text, graphics, audio, or video)
capturing of comments by both Obama critics and supporters, with no restriction as to how the White House would use the information.
This is the third controversy involving the White House internet operations in less than a month. First, Obama’s New Media operation asked supporters to send information about critics of the White House health care effort to a White House email. This provoked a storm of criticism and the White House retreated. Then large number of people complained of getting email spam from the White House supporting the President’s health care position. Again the White House was forced to back down.

PING!
Ping to homeschooers, who like to fly under the radar.
That's their next big push, been in the plan all along. If they are successful the America we know is over. That is by far their most important initiative. If they get that passed they get all the rest.
Tanks...(grin)
Is that for real? O my!
Definitely yes to the former. No to the latter. For now...
It’s getting very ominous.
In today's political environment, "rich" to me means you pay income tax. So, I'd suspect you sub female for male and subtract a big and you're quite welcome to jump in. Add an adjective if you will.
Don’t put anything on the Net that you don’t want Big Brother to read.
Obviously the only way to stop these Fascist is filing massive lawsuits. One right after the other. And ofcourse the Repubs need to DEMAND a Special Prosecutor to Investigate the Unconstitutional Actions of everyone involved in this criminal org called the Obama Administration.
I have heard ACongress Critter demand that the Cia agents had a duty to refuse to follow the legal opinions they received regarding Interrogations.. ARE THERE ANY GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEES THAT ACTUALLY WORK FOR THE PROTECTION OF THE CONSTITUTION THAT BELIEVE THEY HAVE THE DUTY TO MAKE THE ACTIVITIES OF THIS ADMIN PUBLIC?
Big Brother has nothing on these people. Scary
If we remain quiet because of fear of them finding us out, we have lost already. We need to be bold, unafraid to speak our minds regardless of the outcome.
That's what I think...but with these commies, who knows?
Obama has turned Hitlerian.
Do you mean dear leader, the magic marxist won’t like this post?
Awwww, pobricito.
I spent 7 months in a remote village in China during the winter of ‘76 - ‘77 when I was 25 years old. I got there two weeks after Mao died. I was at the intersection of three provinces and you needed internal travel papers to cross the rivers into either of the other two provinces. Loudspeakers were everywhere, constantly blaring messages from the Party. About half the work days were given over to political rallies with people banging pots and holding up Chairman Mao’s red book. Political posters were plastered all over the fertilizer plant I was starting up.
I am an engineer, so naturally conservative and never did have a liberal period. But this experience really shaped my life and I deeply understood from those days forward what tyranny, totalitarianism and despots do to people. I came home thinking that every whining, complaining American should spend a year in a totalitarian country as a prerequisite for voting rights. That would solve many of our country’s ills in one shot.
If this was a Republican administration proposing this you would not be able to stop the screaming from liberal groups or lawsuits from the ACLU. Seems like these groups don't really mind stepping on the privacy of citizens all the while screaming the other guys are doing it. Shameless!
If you play smart on the internet you always use an IP hiding service. If you insist on using things like Facebook, make up a yahoo, Gmail or whatever email and use it only for that one thing. Nothing else. Never use your real birth date on Face Book. I wouldn’t even use my real name. Use your dog’s name and inform your friends how to find you. Granted, none of this is fool proof, but why make it easy for them?
By the way, Facebook is evil.
