Obama's dissident database could be secret -- and permanent

The White House request that members of the public report anyone who is spreading "disinformation" about the proposed national health care makeover could lead to a White House database of political opponents that will be both secret and permanent, according to Republican lawyers on the Senate Judiciary Committee who are examining the plan's possible implementation.

On Monday, White House director of new media Macon Phillips posted a note on the White House web site complaining of "disinformation about health insurance reform." "These rumors often travel just below the surface via chain emails or through casual conversation," Phillips wrote. "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 flag@whitehouse.gov."

In a letter to Obama Tuesday, Republican Sen. John Cornyn wrote that, given Phillips' request, "it is inevitable that the names, email address, IP addresses, and private speech of U.S. citizens will be reported to the White House." Cornyn warned the president that "these actions taken by your White House staff raise the specter of a data collection program."

"I can only imagine the level of justifiable outrage had your predecessor asked Americans to forward emails critical of his policies to the White House," Cornyn continued. "I urge you to cease this program immediately."

Senate Judiciary Committee lawyers studying the proposal say that although there is no absolutely settled law on the matter, the White House plan is likely not covered by the Privacy Act, which prohibits government agencies from keeping any records "describing how any individual exercises rights guaranteed by the First Amendment unless expressly authorized by statute or by the individual about whom the record is maintained." Therefore, it appears the White House can legally keep records of the emails and other communications it receives in response to Phillips' request.

Those lawyers also point out that the White House is not covered by the Freedom of Information Act, which means it would not have to release any information on the plan to members of the public who make a request.

In addition, the lawyers say the collected emails likely will be covered by the Presidential Records Act, which requires the White House to preserve and maintain its records for permanent storage in a government database. Phillips' request suggests that whatever information the White House receives on health-care reform "disinformation" will be used to further the goal of passing a national health-care makeover, which is, of course, one of the president's main policy initiatives. Such material, and whatever the White House does with it, would qualify as presidential records. Only after more than a decade would such records be publicly available.

"So the White House, whether by design or accident, has requested information from the public that will become 'records' under the Presidential Records Act, yet would be impermissible for any government to otherwise collect under the Privacy Act," writes one Judiciary Committee source. "Where were the lawyers in all of this? What is their legal basis for authorizing the collection of these records?"

Linda Douglass, head of communications for the White House Office of Health Reform, says the White House is "not compiling lists or sources of information" on opponents of health care reform. But if "fishy" information is indeed collected, as Phillips' request suggested, the laws involved mean that the information obtained by the White House could not only be secret but permanent. A dissident database, in whatever precise form it ultimately takes, could be around for a long time to come.

Exactly.

This is one of those "If Bush" arguments.

If Bush had a database (and I'll throw you a bone, he probably did) and then asked the public to rat on those who disagreed with him and ASKED for this on the White House website, Ford's head would explode, Nick would be on a non stop posting rant, Lounge would be beside himself and the others would be getting ready to march in the streets.

But because it's Barry O, we are gonna let this one slide. Remember kids, if you disagree with Barry O, you are a racist. You may even have a swastika on your shirt when you go to express your opinion to Nancy Pelosi. Remember to dress poorly, as to be believable to those who you are protesting against.

With the way Fox News has absolutely RUN AMOK with its misinformation campaign about ALL things non Republican, and with the way their empty dittoheaded viewers are buying their FLAGRANT LIES hook, line, and sinker, I can understand the concern. Fox News is engaged in a war of misinformation, lies and empty rhetoric without basis in fact and is actively campaigning to make matters WORSE. The fact that they're bussing in supporters to actively disrupt town hall meetings and BLOCK the spread of information alone ought to be criminal.

I'd be happy to report instances of misinformation, obstruction and direct lies to the White House so that the White House can make official clarifications when Fox News and Glenn Beck and Bill O'Reilly and who the fuck ever else start spreading LIES to the American people in the hopes that it'll scare them into thinking a particular way.

Health care reform is too important for these witless Fox News assholes to fuck it all up simply because they're pissed that their out of power and throwing temper tantrums.

Bush DID have a database. It was disguised as the "Take My Phone Number off The Telemarketing Autodialer List" scam.

And even my parents fell for that one (and they hated the Chimp as much as I did.)

Bob,

The White House keeping an "eye" on things is the absolute essence of intimidation. This puts a chill on free speech. Fox News is not charged with representing the people of the United States. The White House is.

The health care argument should be strong enough to stand on it's own merits, regardless of who thinks who is being bused in (I've heard it in the other direction as well, with "union thugs and Acorn" playing the villian role in that script).

As of now, it does not.

Big difference though is that Bush did not ASK the public for help keeping an eye on his enemies. He did it himself.

You have to wonder if Barry O's request is even constitutional. If private companies can't legally keep certain types of information, on what grounds does POTUS have for this? National Security of his proposals?

Bob,

The White House keeping an "eye" on things is the absolute essence of intimidation.

Well, from my perspective, the White House has been "keeping an eye on things" for MANY years now - in this day and age, it's just getting harder to hide it.

Which is, of course, the problem with the government in totality, but the beast is self-sustaining at this point. Short of a massive revision of the whole concept of "Government", I don't think there's any way around that at this point.


This puts a chill on free speech. Fox News is not charged with representing the people of the United States. The White House is.

Which is why I think the White House SHOULD respond to instances where misinformation is being spread and clarify the details. Especially where something as important as this is concerned. Freedom of speech I obviously support, but opinions should be framed as opinions, not facts.


The health care argument should be strong enough to stand on it's own merits, regardless of who thinks who is being bused in (I've heard it in the other direction as well, with "union thugs and Acorn" playing the villian role in that script).

Well, pro-Republican scripts on how disrupt town hall meetings effectively are available...I'm willing to review the evidence on Acorn and Union scripts on how to do the same thing, obviously...


As of now, it does not.

Which is why I feel instances of misinformation being should probably should be responded to directly by the people in charge of making the health care argument. Right now even MY head's swimming in a sea of conflicting ideas about whats in there and what isn't, what'll happen in the future and what won't.

I'd certainly like to see official statements being made, and if enough people say "This is what's being said and by whom" to the White House, hopefully it'd have an impact and the bill makers can go on the tube and say "Listen, this is what you're being told and here's the reality of it..."

I mean, when you have elderly ladies showing up at conferences and asking Obama why Fox News told her he's going to "Let them die", there's obviously a huge issue about misinformation being spread that needs to be addressed...

Bush's patriot act increased the freedom of law enforcement to search telephone records, email, medical and financial records, and other things just to see if you were a "good guy".

The White House is offering to debunk bullshit that gets spread through an active campaign of misinformation and scare tactics by primarily Fox News and their resources.

I think there's a big difference, yeah.

Well, from my perspective, the White House has been "keeping an eye on things" for MANY years now - in this day and age, it's just getting harder to hide it.

I agree with you on that point, of course they are. However, to publicly state that you want names and addresses is not acceptable, just as it wasn't 200+ years ago.

Which is, of course, the problem with the government in totality, but the beast is self-sustaining at this point. Short of a massive revision of the whole concept of "Government", I don't think there's any way around that at this point.

Again I'm ok with that to. My problem is that you can't say it's ok provided you agree with the government's position and then say it isn't when you don't. If it wasn't ok for Bush or Nixon, or the King of England, it isn't ok for Obama.


Which is why I think the White House SHOULD respond to instances where misinformation is being spread and clarify the details. Especially where something as important as this is concerned. Freedom is speech I obviously support, but opinions should be framed as opinions, not facts.

The White House did a prime time softball special, the President has been all around the country and has a few networks in his pocket to sell his message. It's not being bought. Fox News/talk radio can claim a certain amount of that credit, but ultimately the people are not buying it. His own party has hurt him more.


Well, pro-Republican scripts on how disrupt town hall meetings effectively are available...I'm willing to review the evidence on Acorn and Union scripts on how to do the same thing, obviously...

It's the same play, just swap out heroes and villians.

All that has to be done is what they have done. News conferences and White House "nights" with Brian Williams sell very effectively. It might be helpful if in the future Congress gets to read the bill and his own parties advocates can speak to what is and isn't actually in the bill, which as of now, they cannot. That might keep the blue hairs from listening to what is out there.

There would be if they were not collecting personal information about their adversaries. It's in the same league, it can't be denied.

Give me an honest need for them to have the infomation on the individual as opposed to debunking the myth.

They would be "Debunking" only if it were a FAQ or suggestion box of questions. It changes tone entirely when it says "Bob from Pittsburgh says this: is it true"?

One could make an argument that Fox is more influential and powerful with Barry IN office than not.

Of the News Corporation’s eight business segments, just one — cable programming — reported a significant rise in operating income, which rose to $434 million, from $313 million in the same quarter last year. While the company did not disclose a specific figure, it said operating income at Fox News increased 50 percent.

I think the database would have exploded, how big would it have had to have been? :)

Or instead of a database he could have just used the whole fucking internet and then ignored the 3% of the world that agreed with him.

It is a badly worded thing on that website but I think the idea was to let them know about false info campaigns so that they could argue the point.

They are taking on a huge multi billion dollar lobby here.

For example as I posted earlier everything negative I have read about these healthcare reforms strongly implies that there will be no option to opt out which is patently untrue.

I just googled "flag@whitehouse.gov" and this story is making the President look like a fucking PUSSY.

What a joke!

Healthcare reform is a lie, so I emailed flag@whitehouse.gov saying "hey, your lie is a lie so go fuck yourself Pelosi" because she's the only one with the password to that email, anyways..

Five Guys is pretty fucking good.


Dude. Five Guys is one of the best burgers anywhere. I'm all about the Five Guys...and their fucking fries, too.

Shit.

I have one about four minutes from my house. They just moved into my neck of the woods, but it's the fucking bomb, seriously.

Duuude, don't rat me out BRAH! Don't rat me out~!!

OK. Get yourself educated about what's going on with health care reform, speak the truth about it (which means don't make shit up, tell old people that it'll allow them to die in their moments of greatest need and convince people that the damn dirty government needs to keep its hands off of their Medicare, LMAO!) and you and I will be right as rain.

:D

Just tried the Five Guys restaurant in the Chicago airport a few weeks back. It was too early in the morning for me to be completely impressed, I guess...

Maher's comment on that was classic: "That's like driving cross-country to complain about HIGHWAYS."
:lmao:

If I met Obama I would ask him which is better. Five Guys or Hell Burger. He seems to be an expert in those.

Is that anything like Fudddruckers?

Kinda...

They only have about five kinds of burgers, or a hot dog, and then fries, which you can get regular or cajun style...

Fuddruckers is pricey too, but Five Guys has them beat...

I've been there twice...

Bacon cheeseburger and large fries = 11 clams....

Whoops. I dribbled the grease from a Five Guys burger on my dick. I need a Russian or a Ukrainian girl to lick it off.

I think the database would have exploded, how big would it have had to have been? :)

Or instead of a database he could have just used the whole fucking internet and then ignored the 3% of the world that agreed with him.

It is a badly worded thing on that website but I think the idea was to let them know about false info campaigns so that they could argue the point.

They are taking on a huge multi billion dollar lobby here.

For example as I posted earlier everything negative I have read about these healthcare reforms strongly implies that there will be no option to opt out which is patently untrue.


Right like that "dangerous blogger" guy they were quoting last week who had like 5 Facebook friends and whose blog had two posts. Billions behind him!!

Isn't the WHITE HOUSE A multi-trillion dollar lobby?

They can't dispel rumors or myths without knowing specifically their oppositions contact information? Must be a weak argument then...
