White House Encourages Americans to Report Fellow Citizens That "Spread Disinformation"

The following post is from and full credit goes to Rachel @ Thoughts from a Conservative Mom . H/T to Rachel and to Paula @ A Catholic Harvest for her post, links and sourcing credits.

From the official White House blog, entitled "Facts Are Stubborn Things":

"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."

Yes, that's right, fellow citizens. The president is so concerned about the "truth" regarding his policies that he wants you to report dissent directly to the White House. Can you imagine if President Bush had posted a notice on the White House blog asking Americans to report on their fellow citizens, passing along "fishy" e-mails and links that they got with "disinformation" about his policies?

This isn't about trying to answer critics. This is about knowing who the opposition is, what they're saying, and how to silence them. A completely unconstitutional abuse of executive power by a man who believes that the president's powers are unlimited . . . . certainly not restrained by that outdated document, the American constitution.

Another jewel from the White House blog:

"For the record, the President has consistently said that if you like your
insurance plan, your doctor, or both, you will be able to keep them."

Yes, Mr. Obama, we've heard you make this claim repeatedly. The problem is, the facts do not line up with your claims. Your own words, and those of your cohorts, made on camera when you thought only supporters were listening, expose your current claims for the lies that they are:
