Suicide Pact? (UPDATED)

(UPDATE #1): Oopsie-daisy.

Turns out that keeping track of all those scary emails and blog sites spreading disinformation about Obamacare is not only unseemly and buffoonish but probably illegal, as well.

5 U.S. Code 552a. (e)(7) commands that any Federal agency

"(7) maintain no record describing how any individual exercises rights guaranteed by the First Amendment unless expressly authorized by statute or by the individual about whom the record is maintained or unless pertinent to and within the scope of an authorized law enforcement activity;"

When something seems a tad unsavory, it usually is.

Amid the charges that pushback on healthcare reform is being coordinated from the highest levels of the vast right-wing conspiracy network, it would appear that the White House is doing some high-level coordination of its own.

We can’t begin to tell you how awesome this is. Found on the White House web site blog, currrently:

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.

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

There’s just some scary and crrrrzaaaaazy stuff out there on the interwebs..… and we’d like you to do some of our dirty work for us.

Consider it done. We dunno. Maybe it will bring some more traffic but if anyone wants to turn us in, please do so… and we might return the favor. For reals. It’s the dog days of August and not a whole lot is happening so let’s see what lies down this road and see when we return from sea in a couple of days whether it’s the dark night of facism or the dark night of incompetence and buffoonery that will descend over our great nation.

Link the site or perhaps this, our last health care posting or just spam’em with this, a BwD “health care” word search result. You know what? Let's turn in B-Daddy, also. We've always been wanting to exact some little brother revenge. Although, spamming the White House with porn could be equally amusing.

P.S. You are ALL in on this, by the way. Why do you think we turned off the anonymous commenter feature?

Mmmmmwwwwaaaahhhaaaaahhhhaaaaahhhaaaahhhaaaa.......

I love your posting!!
I would love the opportunity to participate in a counter offensive against this overreaching, power hungry, narcissistic President. He and his staff are the one's acting like bullies and strong-arming the American people into supporting Obamacare. Obamacare is a disastrous bill that will ruin and change our health care system as we know it. I hope that with conservatives working together that we can stop this bill.

Teresa,
Thanks for stopping by but... you have now probably been implicated in this dragnet by the White House just by visiting this site.

Be careful out there. ;)

"fishy"...it just sounds sooooo, like, official. Who's writing their blogs...13 year-olds? Definitely support the porn approach...very anatomical.
