Quoting myself again: "There isn't any reason for Obama to have private email addresses to counter disinformation. Homeland Security and the FBI can easily find out whats happening on the internet and Axelrod knows exactly how to counter as well as spread disinformation. Citizen ratting on each only creates a climate of paranoia, inflames the opposition, suppresses free speech and ensures the necessity of a compromise on health care which will nix the public option." RD "Who decides 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." RD It's a fact that the request for "fishy emails" came from the White House. It is not a rightwing meme. Your inability to see anything wrong with ANYONE in government asking citizens to "report fishy" emails isn't fishy encroachment on YOUR first amendment rights. Just imagine the howling you would do if Bush asked for emails for people protesting the Iraq War. If Hillary were pulling this same shit, I would object to it as well. This is not a matter of partisan grandstanding on my part. It is a matter of standing up for what is right and objecting when the government ANY government, Bush, Obama, Hillary, ANYONE seeks to intimidate people exercising their right to free speech. If you don't hold your government to account, no matter who is in power, count yourself among the Sheeple. I support a health care bill WITH a public option. IMO this tactic only lessens the chance of that happening.
