Today at the daily White House presser, White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs actually uttered the phrase ‘war on terror.’
Contrast that against previous statements by the Obama Administration that the ‘war on terrorism’ is over. I suppose ‘Overseas Contingency Operation’ didn’t roll off the tongue quite as nicely as they had hoped…

MEDIA CENTRE — Harrington Report’s Man-Caused Preparedness pamphlet
Posted on 15 August 2009 by Mr. Harrington
Folks, I was curious about people calling the health care protests “astroturf;” meaning, the protesters are recruited to be there by right-wing fringe leaders like Glenn Beck, Sean Hannity, Bill O’Reilly, and, the mobfather himself, Rush Limbaugh.
But, people seem to be missing the point. Nancy Pelosi, for example, called those asking questions of the Messiah “Un-American.” But, in 2006, she said, “I’m a fan of disruptors.”
Barack Obama said that those questioning him are being funded by Big Insurance…If only he had proof…
And he also blames the “ruckus” on “cable news.” Now, ladies and gentlemen, let’s not be dim here. He means Fox News.
But, if it turns out these groups are getting marching orders from groups,–in the words of Rush Limbaugh–’bout damn time.
And I completely agree. The aggressor sets the rules, folks. The left-wing loons set a precedent for disruptive behavior, and to refer to the questioning of an elected official as “Un-American” is simply that.
Now, let’s take a look at the real astroturf.
Now, I must admit, I get my marching orders from MoveOn.org. I receive their email…just so I can know what’s going on in the world outside of my God and Guns…
Here is part of an email from August 7, 2009:
Check it out–as well as just who is laying astroturf–after the jump…
Also, Sheila Jackson’s townhall: a complete SHAM…

Folks, this was crazy. A couple of days ago, Megyn Kelly asked Bill Burton about the “enemies list.” She asked if the White House will keep the email addresses of the people being reported. He could not, and actually refused to answer the question.
Megyn Kelly Discusses “Enemy\’s List” With WH Press Secretary:
Now, it turns out, that people are receiving unsolicited emails from the White House.
Major Garrett has received emails from folks saying they received emails from the White House.

Folks, this scares me; a lot.
Apparently there is a lot of “disinformation” regarding the health care system. And apparently, “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.”
They are asking you to turn in people. Folks, please. Turn me in!
Here is what you can tell them…
Matt Harrington of The Harrington Report thinks the best way to reform health care is:
Tort Reform
Matt Harrington of the Harrington Report thinks that:
So, folks, if you are reading this, please, listen to our fearless leader, turn me in. Shoot an email over to “flag@whitehouse.gov” and tell them that I am propagating propaganda.
Click above to see my email, turning myself in.
Now, call me crazy for turning myself in…but I want to know what is going on here.
Did anyone flag themselves or someone they know? Let’s hear about it!
UPDATE: Lots of views on this post. I hope you’re all reporting me!
UPDATE: WH press secretary Robert Gibbs, when asked about the flag email and he said, “I cannot understand your question.
UPDATE: August 7, 2009:
Ladies and Gentlemen, the anger is brewing.
Nancy Pelosi accused the protesters of carrying swastikas.
They’re carrying swastikas and symbols like that to a town meeting on healthcare’
Folks, while you report me, please, send a note in reporting Nancy Pelosi too. No one is carrying any racist, hateful propaganda.
She can’t fight the facts, so she has to try discredit those who oppose her.
Also, Texas Senator John Cornyn accused the Obama White House of compiling an enemies list.
Effectively, that’s what flag@whitehouse.gov is.
Here is the transcript–from Whitehouse.gov, which I think is hilarious–of Robert Gibbs denying flag@whitehouse.gov.
Q Do you know how many e-mails have been sent to the flag at whitehouse.gov address? And, secondly, isn’t the White House required by law to save all correspondence it receives, so will it be informing individuals whose e-mails have been forwarded that they might want to have a chance to correct the historical record about the alleged fishiness of their e-mails?MR. GIBBS: I, for the life of me, didn’t understand your question.
Q Is the White House required to save the e-mails?
MR. GIBBS: Obviously, the National Archives documents correspondence with the White House.
Q So the people whose e-mails have been forwarded, they won’t be informed that their e-mails are being forwarded to the government?
MR. GIBBS: Maybe I’m missing something. I’m sure you’re hashing some nefarious plot, but I, for the life of me, can’t understand it.
Yes, sir.
And finally, O-man had this to say, “But I don’t want the folks who created the mess to do a lot of talking. I want them to get out of the way so we can clean up the mess. I don’t mind cleaning up after them, but don’t do a lot of talking.”
UPDATE: August 10, 2009:
This sort of “community reporting project” is happening in my home city of Sacramento, California. They are asking folks to report their neighbors for wasting water.
For those that are out of the loop on Sacramento news and politics…apparently, we don’t have a whole lot of water…even though the river which runs behind my house has been pretty high…
UPDATE: August 12, 2009:
Deputy White House Press Secretary REFUSED to answer Megyn Kelly’s question: “Are you purging the email addresses?”
He absolutely refused to answer the question.
She then showed him up. Its too bad he’s even worse than Robert Gibbs…
So, I think it is safe to say that they are not going to delete the email addresses.
Bill Burton: “They are wearing swastikas.”
UPDATE: August 15, 2009:
I have sent another email to flag@whitehouse.gov…Check it out…
Click for full size.
UPDATE: August 17, 2009:
The White House has acknowledged that members of the general public have received unsolicited emails from the White House regarding health care reform. However, they are passing the buck onto advocacy groups saying that the groups sign their members up for updates from the White House…
Developing…
UPDATE: August 18, 2009:
So, as it turns out, the White House has removed the email address flag@whitehouse.gov. It no longer exists. They also acknowledged that folks were receiving unsolicited emails from the White House, saying,
“It has come to our attention that some people may have been subscribed to our email lists without their knowledge –- likely as a result of efforts by outside groups of all political stripes -– and we regret any inconvenience caused by receiving an unexpected message. We’re certainly not interested in anyone receiving emails from the White House who don’t want them. That’s one reason why we have never — and will never — add names from a commercial or political list to the White House list.
Now, if I could just stop everyone there for just a second, the egregious grammatical error in the second sentence is really rather stunning…
Now, this news doesn’t mean that they have stopped collecting information. They have retooled their mechanism and are now going through the Reality Check website…

Yes, folks. According to Yahoo News, Tim Geithner wants to impose new guidelines for publicly traded companies to better match pay with long-term performance.
He said that he does not want to put caps on the pay…but that sounds like what they’re going to do…but just call it something else.
What gets me about this is how they support unions and a minimum wage…in short, not being paid by your performance, while wanting that for executives…

Robert Gibbs is speaking in his native tongue…gibberish…
JENNIFER LOVEN, AP: The $100 million target figure that the president talked about today with the Cabinet, can you explain why so small? I know he talked about — you know, you add up 100 million and 100 million, and eventually, you get somewhere, but it would take an awfully long time to add up hundred million (inaudible) in the deficit. Why not target a bigger number?
GIBBS: (Smiling) Well, I think only in Washington, D.C. is a hundred million dollars…
LOVEN: The deficit’s very large. It’s not a joke.
GIBBS: No, I’m…
LOVEN: The deficit’s giant. $100 million really is only a step.
GIBBS: But no joke.
But folks, you have to realize, its not all Mr. Gibbs’ fault…
The press can’t take anything seriously either…
Transcript and video after the jump…
TAPPER: We’re talking about a FISA judge, though. I mean, we’re not talking about sharing it with — with, you know, the front row here. We’re talking about sharing it with a foreign intelligence judge.
REPORTER FROM THIRD ROW: Or the third row.
TAPPER: Or the third row, right.
GIBBS: Once you get much past the third, it’s definitely downhill from there.
(BOOING)
GIBBS: Come on, guys. It’s Monday. You guys are a little (inaudible) today? It’s just a joke, all right?
REPORTER IN SECOND ROW: Let the record show the second row has not been mentioned.
GIBBS: Just you wait.
(LAUGHTER)
It’s all just a big joke, huh?

Well, I have decided to herein refer to any statement made by White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs as “Gibberish.”
Gibberish. noun, gi-b(?-)rish. The incoherent dribble spoken by White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs.
Note: Be sure to pronounce the “G” as such and not a “J”…
In his latest gibberish, Gibbs was distracted by his podium…

Barack Obama, last night on Jay Leno took another step forward in proving his “sensitivity” toward all people when he compared his bowling skills to that of the Special Olympics.
[OBAMA] “I bowled a 129″
[LENO] “That’s very good, Mr. President.”
[OBAMA] It’s “like the Special Olympics or something.”
UPDATE: Pennsylvania Governor Ed Rendell just stated on “Fox & Friends” that someone who speaks in public as often as Barry does is bound to make mistakes like comparing his bowling skills to the Special Olympics, and that everyone knows how much Barry has done for the Special Olympics and what a great supporter he is of the event.
Anyone got proof of that?
UPDATE (from Mr. Harrington): “He bowled a 129. I bowl a 300. I could beat that score easily,” said the Special Olympics’ top bowler who has bowled five perfect games since 2005.
Know what else is like the Special Olympics?

This KILLS me.
Honest to PETE.
Apparently, the Obama administration did not know until a couple weeks ago that the Insurance failure giant AIG would be paying their lovely executives $165 million. So much for transparency. We need to get some god damn Windex or something because this window into the intricate workings of government that was promised us by the Messiah is so scummed up with the likes of Turbo Tax, Glibs, and Bela Pelosi, Barry doesn’t even know what the hell is going on.
This is horrible, folks. People said Bush was a horrible president, but what will be said of Barry Obama? If it wasn’t for this God damn “unprecedented” economic colapse, he wouldn’t have a damn thing to blame for his amazing lack of leadership prowess. First its a “catastrophe,” then its “not as bad as we originally thought.” Now, this makes blood shoot from my eyes.
Remember when John McCain said that the fundamentals of the economy were sound? And Barry and his goons read him the riot act? And MSNBC types said that McCain was an idiot?
WHAT ON GOD’S GREEN EARTH IS OBAMA DOING NOW?
It kills me, folks. There isn’t enough tape in the world that can keep my head from exploding.
Remember when Obama said that companies like Caterpillar need the economic stimulus to prevent job cuts? Well, Caterpillar is going to cut 2,454 jobs…
What was the point of the economic stimulus, then? It artificially inflated the stock market; congrats. This is excellent. The poster company for the economic stimulus is cutting jobs.
Is it possible the “little blow” Barry did as a kid has turned his brain to mush? I think so…
Here’s what you can do, folks. MELT the phone lines! Call your congressman and tell him enough is enough. The government works for you! If they don’t listen to you, FIRE them! You’re the boss.

STEELE: “So let’s put it into context here. Let’s put it into context here. Rush Limbaugh is an entertainer. Rush Limbaugh, his whole thing is entertainment. Yes, it’s incendiary. Yes, it’s ugly.”
Well, well, well. Folks, I think someone is a little upset that Rush Limbaugh brought the house down at CPAC last weekend.
I think Michael Steele has his panties in a bunch because no one is giving him a chance. You know, I thought Steele had a chance…But now he’s done. Michael Steele just screwed himself and the party; he put us back to before he was chosen.
Is he trying to tear apart the party?
After the jump: See what the White House had to say.
