New Evidence Daily On The Left’s Hypocrisy….This Time Over The White House Snitch Program

Since Obama was elected we have seen the left and the MSM becoming some of the worst hypocrites imaginable.

Here is another nail in the hypocrite coffin:

Remember when Ari Fleischer said Americans should "watch what they say?" Back then, the ACLU said that was a warning to "remind us how easily our precious First Amendment rights can be lost."

The White House snitch program under President Obama, though, is just a "bad idea that could send a troublesome message." They also want you to know that even though the White House may be collecting personal information, it's cool...they're totally sure Obama won't do anything with it.

Their exact quote?

"While it is unclear at this point what the government is doing with the information it is collecting, critics of the administration's health care proposal should not fear that their names will end up in some government database that could be used to chill their right to free speech."

My my, how times have changed.

With this statement the ACLU has proven itself to be for free speech, as long as its speech that fits with their world view, ie liberal. They trust in Obama...because...well, he IS the one dontcha know? Hell, Obama's press secretary said they aren't collecting names and that's good enough for the ACLU. Nevermind The Privacy Act of 1974 or this other statute:

The law requires them to keep all correspondence, that begs the question: Can we trust them with that information? We know that answer already.

I guess we are going to start seeing all the trendy little street thugs wearing Start Snitchin' t-shirts. Now that it's their "patriotic duty" and all.

Who’s to say that any information the WH collects won’t be used to determine who gets full care and who gets rationed care. If a union boss and a conservative columnist bith need a kiney, who do you think is going to get the kidney?

Hereafter he is “Snitch” Obama to me. Or, when I feel charitable, President Snitch.
