Not only are they posting what one can only describe as amateur hour propaganda, but they are asking private citizens to forward any dissent about healthcare straight to the white house so they can better produce propaganda in the future.
What do you think of this??
Watch both videos here:

Douglass seems to have taken to her role as a propagandist rather well for someone who worked as a supposedly objective reporter for so long. How difficult is it to look through the first 64 seconds of the video Douglass attempts to rebut to find what Obama really had to say about single payer in 2003, while Obama prepared to run for the US Senate?

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 flag@whitehouse.gov.

WASHINGTON – The White House is turning to the Internet to hit back at a Web posting that claims to show President Barack Obama explaining how his health care reform plans eventually would eliminate private insurance.
The 3-minute White House video features Linda Douglass, a former network television correspondent and now White House Office of Health Reform communications director, sitting in front of a computer screen showing the Drudge Report Web site. That site carries a series of video clips from another blogger who strings together selected Obama statements on health care to make it appear he wants to eliminate the private health insurance business.
In the video Douglass says the site is "taking sentences and phrases out of context, and they’re cobbling them together to leave a very false impression."
bulwinkle……."He was covering actual lies. "
No, he was trying to "re-calibrate" statements he made a few years ago that completely contradict what he is saying now.
truth seeker……"Are you saying there are NO lies out there???"
No. But this particular "lie" they are attempting to combat happens to be true.
assamite………."You’re citing HotAir?!?"
It would appear that way. It contained both videos side by side. Would they be more believable if the same videos came from another website??
Also, thanx for the link. Although there is more than one bill floating around.
assamite…………also, I never claimed to be "smart". But I guess who couldn’t help yourself
