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.

    Dear Unchallenged Propaganda ONLY Czar:

    How much money am I entitled to for turning myself in? I should have dozens of checks due to my efforts thus far!

    I notice on several occasions I have opposed health care reform for various reasons having to do with the pure socialism qualities present in these bills- in direct opposition to the official line.

    I am sure I am likely to do more of this in the future.

    PS: Would my checks be more if I was actually affiliated with an evil insurance company? Thus far they have failed to contact me!

    My letter to the Obamessiah’s drones:

    “Hello Whitehouse flaggers,

    I am writing to tell you all about several fishy things that I have seen lately regarding the health care reform initiative championed by President Obama and the Democrats in Congress.

    Item #1: Page one of HR3200 – every word (http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/query/z?c111:H.R.3200).
    Item #2: Page two of HR3200 – every word (http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/query/z?c111:H.R.3200).
    Item #3: Page three of HR3200 – every word (http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/query/z?c111:H.R.3200).
    Item #4…well, possibly even people as utterly soulless and power-hungry as yourselves get the point now?

    No? Well, I shouldn’t be surprised. You are liberals, after all, and liberals aren’t known for any particular facility of thought or any notable ability to comprehend simple English. Allow me to illustrate further:

    Item #1019: The video of Candidate Obama discussing his preference for a universal single-payer health care system that would not immediately replace employer coverage, but would, over 10 or 15 years, gradually force it out. I’m paraphrasing, of course, but since you’ve posted up such a telling rebuttal on your own site (“No, no, the President SAYS you can keep what you like – TRUST HIM!!! He’s so handsome and eloquent, after all.”), I’m sure even such imbeciles as yourselves should be able to figure out exactly which video clip I’m referring to.

    Item #1020: My email address – I’m telling everyone and anyone I can about the filth you people are trying to pass as legislation.

    Item #1021: My casual conversation with anyone who will listen. You’ll have to come arrest me and ship me off to a reeducation camp whenever you have a moment to spare from your other pet Gestapo projects (taking over businesses you “don’t want” to run, but somehow end up owning and running anyways – cars, banks, everything else through cap-and-tax). I’m sure you already have my street address – I’m one of those bitter-clingers that candidate Obama warned his donors about in 2008. I’m one of those members of the vast right wing conspiracy that actually believes that this is a good country, that the Constitution is the highest law of this land and that I have every right to speak my mind to whomever I so choose. That’s called freedom of speech, which you fascists might not understand, seeing as you’re doing your level best to remove the Constitution and the Bill of Rights from our country. I’m sure I’ve been on a watch list somewhere ever since President Obama had his homeland security department start watching us, instead of Islamo-fascist terrorists. Ooops. I did it again. I said another bad word or two (‘Islamo-fascist’ and ‘terrorist’ for those of you who are slow.). Oh, my goodness, I did it again! You people better come ship me off soon. I just keep sitting here thinking for myself, and I know that your side can’t stand it when American citizens think for themselves.

    Warmest Regards.”

    Hill-Dawg’s trip to Kenya was announced days before Orly’s presentation of her possible kenyan BC.

    I watched the MSNBC video “interview” they did with her, and do not agree with how they are claiming she “melted down” on camera.

    If you watch the video, you will see the persons “interviewing” her not allow her to answer the questions, insult her, call her names, and generally do what the Liberals do best…shout down a person and obfuscate what the facts are.

    They then sat there, laughing at her.

    I know that even Michelle feels those of us that state he is not eligible to be President, (and have been saying so since long before the election), but if this is true, then why has he allowed this to go on for so long, at his own personal expense reported to be near a million dollars?

    It can all go away, and those of us who have claimed him as a usurper would admit to being wrong, if he were to present his original, verified by an impartial official, long-form BC…but a person cannot present that which does not exist.

    No doctor has come forward claiming to have been the one who birthed him,

    No nurse has come forward claiming to have witnessed the birth.

    No hospital has OFFICIALLY laid claim to being the hospital of his birth…

    at least, that is, not here in America.

    We won’t get into the fact that both parents needed to be American citizens, nor that the Kenyan Ambassador, the Kenyan legislative body, his paternal grandmother and others have all stated he was born in Kenya, even to the point that allegedly the place of his birth is “well known” amongst Kenyans, and is treated as a National Landmark.

    We will just wait until this matter is FINALLY allowed to be settled in a court of law…which to this date has been one of the things that has been denied.

    RetFireman…….and, if you look at all the records being hidden from view by Obama at great expense, a lot of them have one thing in common, Obama would have had to answer questions like these, “are you a foreign student”, “where were you born”, and “are you a US Citizen”?

    There is no logic that I can fathom that would make someone hide all these records, at a great expense, for no reason.

    I don’t care what they call me, something is very wrong with Obama’s actions on this matter.

    It is my opinion that the entire charade that is Obama’s past will unravel at some point, and out the truth. The only question is how much damage will he do to our country between now and then. I also believe Obama knows this and it’s part of why everything has to be pushed through at warp speed.

    What’s done will take forever to undo, no matter what happens.

    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,
