Big Brother is Watching! Do not Cross Barack Obama
Quote:
Aug. 6) -- The latest twist in the battle to control the health-care reform message is a charge that President Barack Obama wants you to inform on people who disagree with him.
Politics Daily's Matt Lewis first noted the backlash among conservative commentators after the White House issued an appeal on its blog. Saying it can't keep up with all the misinformation that's flying around online, it asks for you to send the White House any e-mail you receive about health reform that "seems fishy."
The Weekly Standard blog is highlighting Sen. John Cornyn's letter to the president that charges Obama wants to do more than just keep track of the debate. "It is inevitable that the names, email addresses, IP addresses, and private speech of U.S. citizens will be reported to the White House," the Texas Republican warns. The Washington Examiner's Byron York also cautions that a White House list of dissidents would be secret and permanent.
At the risk of inducing Watergate flashbacks -- how about a side order of dirty tricks to go with that enemies list?
The Democratic National Committee is trying to turn the tables on the GOP by posting a video accusing Republicans of organizing "angry mobs" to disrupt public meetings on health care. The ad urges viewers to call a phone number and complain to the Republican Party. So the Republican National Committee has pulled its own switcheroo -- redirecting the calls from its main switchboard to the DNC's. GOP Chairman Michael Steele takes credit for the prank, saying "I get the joke."
Hugs and Disses
Two images linger from Wednesday's return of Laura Ling and Euna Lee from captivity in North Korea: a little girl hugging her mom at long last and two aging Democratic stars locked in an embrace laden in symbolism.

The New York Times looks at the emotional back-story of the Clinton-Gore reunion. The team that took the country by storm in 1992, only to be torn apart by scandal and rivalry during the next eight years, was back together again. And for the moment, at least, the bad blood between them seemed forgotten. "They shook hands first, and then hugged for a full five seconds, Mr. Clinton patting his hand along Mr. Gore’s back, lingering ... "
With President Obama and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton joining in Gore's praise for the former president, Politics Daily's Jill Lawrence says the Democrats are one big, happy family again.
Critics were quick to blast Clinton for rewarding North Korea's bad behavior. Now some are taking aim at the reporters who were held prisoner. "Ling and Lee deserve to be held accountable," writes Commentary's John Podhoretz, "for the unthinkably bad judgment they displayed in their preposterous, vainglorious, and astoundingly naive venture."
On Fox News, former Clinton adviser Dick Morris argued against negotiation with Kim Jong Il. Asked how else Ling and Lee could have been brought home, he replied: "Maybe they don't come home. Maybe they go to North Korea and live with the consequences of their decision to go there."
True/Slant's Lisa Takeuchi Cullen has a different reason for wondering whether Euna Lee should have stayed home. Lee is the mother of 4-year-old Hana, whose hugs were even more emotionally gripping than the Gore-Clinton clinch. Momlogic's Dr. Michelle Golland reflects on the moment as a clinical psychologist and a mother. And CNN's Jeanne Moos takes a look at the happy reunion through Hana's eyes.

apunkjunkie - "Sorry to burst your bubble, but less than 1% of the southern citizens owned slaves and out of that, most were treated fairly well. So no, slavery wasn't a big issue."
What are they going to do? Come and take me away because I am disgusted that this government is essentially telling me right now that the rest of my life will be spend paying high taxes to account for all the money they have blown away on the interests of politicians, corporations, but not the people? Not even counting the current and inevitable breaches of our Constitution-granted rights.
I support riots and mass protest against the government. When our elected officials fail to represent the people it is time for the people to renew our government.
These die-hard partisan fanatics will go out of their way to aid the government in subduing dissidence because they are too naive to understand their true role in America.
I support riots and mass protest against the government.
I support a massive terror campaign initiated by the government against the people. think about it. what are "people" anyways? they are the propertyof the gov't, so when the "people" start complaining and getting riled up it is time for the govt to show them who the boss is. like smacking your dog with a rolled up newspaper for ****ting on the rug, only instead of a dog it is "people", and instead of a pet owner it is the govt, and instead of a rolled up newspaper it is bean bag bullets and tear gas, and instead of ****ting on the rug it is not doing what your told. if you dont like it then you should learn to follow the rules better.......right overbear?

I think it just shows how ****ing narrow minded and arrogant the democratic / liberal party really is..
But go ahead and hide behind your "It is blown way out of proportion" argument.
You are ****ing narrow minded and arrogant to put the Democratic Party in with Liberals.
I already do report fishy emails to various governmental agencies, I got a rash of "THIS IS THE FBI!" emails and had quite the correspondence with them. I also report emails to the Secret Service and Postal Inspectors on a regular basis.

I thought this part of the article was funny: "So the Republican National Committee has pulled its own switcheroo -- redirecting the calls from its main switchboard to the DNC's"
