Could it be that the "Snitch on your neighbor" is a Democratic ploy?

September 19th, 2012 Leave a comment Go to comments

Trying to reclaim the upper hand on the message war, the White House is tacking the same tack with health care that it did with the rumors last year that President Obama was actually a Muslim: building them up to knock them down.

It’s a modern-day, Internet version of the old political maxim — celebrated in Chris Matthews’ original "Hardball" book — known as "hanging a lantern on your problem."

Note not only this morning’s direct engagement of Matt Drudge but also this note on the White House blog:

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.

This is exactly what it did with the Muslim smear and other rumors (including the birth certificate) last year — created a website and e-mail address, its own Snopes, to highlight and then disprove that which was damaging its candidate.

This and every thing is now being brought out in the open the face of evil is now being exposed for every one to see,the political correct cons are now being exposed for the unamerican rude dogs they are.They started the political correct bull to chase, hide the rabid dog ,while using gestapo practices now obama put the bait out and they are biting .Traitors all ,they should be photoed an put on a web site listing traitor of a free society.

    There is no such website. Did you really think no one would check?

    its not that the Demos are "fighting back" i expected that but for the US government to ask people to turn in private citizens that don’t agree is not the job of the White House its the job of the DNC or moveon.org. Its close to being illegal what that blog did

    It’s an intimidation tactic. Only those who choose to stay blind can’t see the propaganda movement going on here. This is indeed how socialism starts. But if Obama wants our country, he’s obviously going to have to fight for it. So far the American people aren’t willing to just hand it to him.

    it is unconstitutional.they are not allowed to store information on citizens.the problems that arise are that everything that comes to the white house is a matter of record.and this by law has to be stored.they could have avoided this like they did with the muslim deal by having the dnc do the investigating and not the government.this is a blatant abuse of government! deny all you want.and snopes has been debunked over 50 plus times.funny it is all over something from the democrats.they are not a reliable source.just like fact check has lost their truth.

    Snitch on your neighbor is always a good tactic of the secret police

    Obama would like to have a Civilian National Guard

    George W. Bush Jr. thought this was a good idea in his terms as POTUS

    sooner or later *the government* through IRS and the government having

    access to your bank accounts will be able to *sniff out the people*

    who don’t pay taxes

    Social Security was another way to have people divulge their income

    so the government would have more control over them

    Few people lived to collect (age 65() when they put social security into

    effect~1936

    Even today the average Social Security retiree averages only 13 monthly

    checks before they die~~where does the money GO?

    Into the governments coffers

    Reagan borrowed heavily against SS ~~~Clinton did too~~and so did

    Bush Jr.~~the interest alone owned to SS helps keep SS afloat along

    with the illegal immigrants who pay in but never collect

    Even the Amish pay in but don’t collect

    WHAT exactly is it that people are supposed to report as "disinformation", since NOTHING has been signed into law yet? And how will any of them in government KNOW it is "disinformation" since, by their own admissions, they haven’t even READ any of the proposals yet??

    It doesn’t matter why they want this information. The fact that the government is asking you, a private citizen to inform on other private citizens is going too damn far. If you cannot see that, YOU have a problem.

    EDIT: And by the way… Snopes.com isn’t some inarguable truth website. It isn’t a team of researchers or professional fact-finders. It’s a husband and wife team who post things online and that’s ALL. Look it up.

    Oh and? They both voted for OBAMA.

    OK! I do admit there ARE a lot of rumors about the healthcare saga and other stuff, not worth mentioning by name, but the Administration only has itself to blame! Obama and Co., have done nothing but talk about how great it would be if everyone in this country had healthcare! The only problem with that is, that’s ALL they say! the word Healthcare! SO! you guys in the crystal palace!!! Explain how much is this thing going to cost an individual to start with. NOW! let the public SEE and READ for themselves, what this Plan entails!!! OH! I forgot! you guys haven’t read it yet! Oops!! OK! so we move on a little, but keeping that fact in mind! There ARE people amongst us lowly American Citizens who DO have brains, we are not altogether stupid, but from YOUR actions and attitude towards us, you really don’t give a damn WHAT we think, you just want us to fold up like whipped puppies, and tell us, Bad doggies, go to your box and don’t come out until we tell you to! We will be chastized just so often, until we tired of it, and turn around and bite you!
    If, just for once, you would right out and be honest with us, you might find you catch more flies with honey than you do with vinegar!! We, the People have enjoyed all the benefits which our Constitution states, and we will be damned if we are going to give that up now!!! Go fish!
