I have no idea, I don't pay attention to the nutters and don't care what they say. Nor do I listen to nutters on the Left. But they all have a right to express their opinions without fear of retribution from the government.
What I heard was the President's czar referring to a direct quote from the President as misinformation and then asking people to report similar "misinformation" to the White House. Is that really what you want, people reporting each other to the government for nothing more than expressing an opinion? -----Original Message----- From: Jerry Johnson <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, August 06, 2009 4:58 PM To: cf-community <[email protected]> Subject: Re: you too can become a snitch for Obama Robert, I would like you to be honest and truthful if you can. How do you feel about the actual, honest to god lies and untruths being pressed through organized Republican operatives? Things like direct quotes from Nancy Pelosi of things she never said. And untruths about numbers and actions. Not the political half-truths and scare tactics (however despicable I personal find them), they are free speech, and somewhat fair game. But purposeful untruths and known lies. Do you think they are ok? Do you think they are just part of the "game"? Do you find them as distasteful as I do?
