Chilling Effect?

Just when it seemed the Obamistration couldn't sink any lower, now comes word of a new effort to silence critics:

"There is a lot of disinformation about health insurance reform out there, spanning from control of personal finances to end of life care ... If you get an email or see something on the web about health insurance reform that seems fishy, send it to flag@whitehouse.gov."

Of course, anything which might be seen as opposition to a government take-over of our health care system appears to be "fishy" to its proponents. Students of history may recall that the East German Stasi used comparable tactics to keep their citizens in line.

On the other hand, I think it would be terribly irresponsible to email THIS LINK to the watchdogs; after all, it seems to directly contradict their case, and casts some serious (or are they "fishy?") doubts on their numbers.

I know I already did.

(Once again, that email address is flag@whitehouse.gov)
