Greg Sargent, doing his part as a mouthpiece for the online left, is trying his best to deflect concerns over flag@whitehouse.gov, but in the process reveals that Democrats are now admitting the White House collected data on individuals from flag@whitehouse.gov.
Here’s the deal — and you’ll have to pardon wading through the stupid that is Greg Sargent regurgitating DNC talking points:
John Cornyn has a contact form on his Senate website.
You can contact Cornyn by filling in your name, address, etc. and sending an email note.
Greg Sargent breathlessly reports that
Now the DNC is striking back by pointing out that similar email collection is done on the Web sites of Senators and members of Congress, including … John Cornyn.
Over on Cornyn’s Senate Web site, for instance, you find that people who want to contact the Senator are asked to submit personal info, such as their names, addresses and emails, which are all required.
In other words, “John Cornyn does it too.”
But, as Cornyn points out, and the DNC admits, with Cornyn’s website it is an individual offering their own information to contact the Senator. With Barack Obama, it is people offering other people’s information.
The distinction is huge.
But the DNC argues this is a meaningless distinction. Following Cornyn’s logic about the White House, the DNC says, shouldn’t those who write in to Cornyn’s Web site to criticize the Senator ask what his office will do with their personal info?
Of course that is desperation on the Democrats’ part. Trying to deflect attention from the White House invading people’s privacy, the Democratic National Committee is making real news by admitting flag@whitehouse.gov was used to collect data on people being turned in by third parties.

I’m a banned Democrat who came here to promote the idea that Republicans are racists for disliking Barack Obama.
I pointed out that it has been claimed that adding millions

The questions still all remain…. Who is all on the list, how were the names collected/mined, who/why had controll of the Enemies Names List, etc as discussed: Flag-whitehouse.gov is down, but are the unlawful (same old trickery) actions going on via WH:RealityCheck (hint: YES)

Beaglescout (Diary) Thursday, August 20th at 8:50PM EST (link)I am. A dismember. “Dismember” certainly expresses this grouchy curmudgeon’s state of mind when contemplating the perfect villainy of Congress. At least a highwayman stands in your path waving a brace of pistols and shouts “Stand and deliver!” when he steals your belongings. Congress sends the IRS to take it out of your pay before you even get it.

This would be really big news if
Flagstaff (Diary) Thursday, August 20th at 2:32PM EST (link)it were the Bush White House. Then we would all be kept up to date hourly by the MSM as to what lie the administration was telling at the time.
With the Obama administration, not so much. In fact, pretty much expected misbehavior.
“The press is so powerful in its image-making role that it can make a criminal look like he’s the victim and make the victim look like he’s the criminal.

And still we wait for a fix (not tested recently) and/or for someone to pick up on it as part of the whole overall fiasco and dishonesty of this admin. (more for those that may not yet know)

The DNC can be this stupid
brennan Thursday, August 20th at 4:58PM EST (link)Apparently members of Congress that provide a contact form that asks users to submit their contact information for purposes of screening who is a Texan and who is not are in the “list building” business.
But then, did the DNC bother to check the websites of its own members of Congress? Why, here is Jan Schakowsky’s contact form. Enter your information and you will receive this email.
The good news is that thus far my personal information has not been shared with anyone by Ms. Schakowsky. At least as far as I know.
Logic is clearly lost on Democrats...
Justin Spagnolo (standardcandle) (Diary) Thursday, August 20th at 5:39PM EST (link)Notice that they start the question with the assumed premise of moral equivalence by asking a question of inference?
Clearly that is a question of prerogative by the sender as they are VOLUNTEERING this personal/private information… However this does not resolve the fact that flag@whitehouse.gov… was soliciting information about people NOT VOLUNTEERING this personal private information.
Well… all excepting for those Self-Admitting emails where the sender was reporting themself… but of course that’s the world of email.
