The request for citizens to report "fishy" emails comes directly from the White House:
>From the White House: "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 f...@whitehouse.gov <mailto:flag%40whitehouse.gov> " http://www.whitehouse.gov/blog/Facts-Are-Stubborn-Things/ Who decide what is "fishy"? I don't agree with right wing opposition to health care and I don't believe the Democrats should do anything to torpedo the public option, which I believe the fishy email request will do. Obama has absolutely no business suppressing free speech. Only in totalitarian governments do citizens spy on citizens. They're not suppressing anything or spying on anyone. They're asking to be informed of misinformation that is being forwarded around between millions of people, so that they can get a sense of which lies are most commonplace and most in need of rebuttal.
