Health care czar’s office calls for Internet snitch brigade

By Michelle Malkin  •  August 4, 2009 02:38 PM

Jeff Emanuel at RedState calls attention to the new push by the White House to summon Obama-bots to monitor blog postings and “casual conversations” of health care takeover opponents — and then report them to the White House.

As I noted earlier this morning, the White House pushback on the Internet is coming from the health care czar’s office.

Nancy DeParle makes $158,500 as health care czar. Her flack, Linda Douglass, is not listed in the White House employee salary chart.

What is the budget of the health care czar’s office, which was established by executive order in April? How much are they spending on the Internet snitch brigade initiative?

Tell your congressional reps home from recess: Show us the transparency.

    My 2 cents to flag@whitehouse.gov:

    Here’s something fishy:

    “The White House is turning to the Internet to hit back at a Web posting that claims to show President Barack Obama explaining how his health care reform plans eventually would eliminate private insurance.
    The three-minute White House video features Linda Douglas, a former network television correspondent and now White House Office of Health Reform communications director, sitting in front of a computer screen showing the Drudge Report Web site.”

    Uh, excuse me, but……

    THE CLIP WAS NOT EDITED, CHANGED, OR MODIFIED IN ANY WAY.

    For Linda Douglass to flat out lie about it, is really fishy.

    Hope this help………

    Amen, Qwacker! As proof that linda Douglass is lying – go and view several YouTube videos on Barack H. Obama’s campaing for Single Payer Insurance.

    E.g.: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fpAyan1fXCE

    That was when he was making a speech with the AFL-CIO.

    The Health Care czar’s people either failed reading comprehension, or they did not read the bill that Pelosi has floated, nor did they google their big boss’ pronouncements!

    Here’s what I sent:

    subject: reporting something I saw on the web that was against Federal health legislation

    Look at this link:
    http://www.usconstitution.net/const.html#Am10

    Amendment 10 – Powers of the States and People. Ratified 12/15/1791:

    The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States,
    are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.

    The text above clearly shows that the U.S. Federal government has no authority to meddle with the States’ and Peoples’ right to determine for themselves what, if any, health care legislation that they may enact.

    This attack on Federal Health Care Reform is very suspicious and should be investigated.

    Sincerely,

    Ammo will be a good business to be in too..
