I'm Fishy! Not!

" Obama, Pelosi, and anyone supporting the current administration, go straight to hell you racist, socialist bastards. All of you self-serving republicans can go with them."-- Elisha Fripp, 2009

i am an american citizen by birth, white( caucasian if you please) i have many black american friends that have never been to africa, most of which don't even know where africa is! so what are they? like it or not they are AMERICAN NEGROES and they should be proud of that! not of africa! now OBAMA is truly AFRICAN AMERICAN and AMERICA truly needs to send HIM home

The people spreading disinformation about Health Care Reform have a right to be wrong. THEY ARE WRONG! We absolutely need Health Care Reform, including a Public Option.


President Obama, please know that the vast majority of Americns STAND WITH YOU. Please, keep on working to get honest, accurate information to people to SUPPORT Health Care Reform! This is an historic moment. We need your leadership. We are very proud of you!

Thanks and regards,
Glenda Durham

OK I give up--don't shoot me--I must be fishy by now--I eat tuna at least once a week.

Yes, Scott, you are an idiot! You have virtually no idea of what you're talking about and are only serving to scare people who don't know better. I'm sure you're operating on the presumption that nobody ever went broke underestimating the intelligence of the American people and you should be ashamed of yourself. But no, not you! You actually have the gaul to carry on as if you're the one helping people out. You lost because you are a looser. Stop crying like one.

And the truth is, Obama's health care plan merits a look and not just crazy conservatives shouting at it, with "death panels" and "I'm fishy"s and "socialism"s all over the place. Obama's trying to combat disinformation, not free speech. He wants to know what's out there, not who's speaking against him. Stop the scare tactics! (PS I am proudly posting this to I'm Fishy: Not, as the people there make more sense.)

Oh, please.
You are still free to speak freely about whatever you want, and nobody in the current or past administration is encroaching upon your precious comfortable free-to-speak lives. Nobody is going to steal your (dysfunctional and shortsighted) corporate healthcare. Settle down and stop fear-mongering...it's a democracy, it's America, and nothing is going to sway so far to the left or right that your everyday life will be affected. HAVE A NICE DAY and be grateful!

I support single payer universal healthcare.

I work in a hospital and have firsthand experience with our broken system.
To me the measure of a society is in how it takes care of it's people. The founding fathers called it the common good.
I think universal healthcare supports the common good and will help our society be more productive and inventive. And that will help us survive as a people and a country.

Let me get this straight, instead of intelligent discourse about healthcare, medicare, and helping the millions of uninsured Americans get the medical care they need, your organization is busy name-calling and spreading rumors about the content of the healthcare bill without even reading it. I hope ImFishy fails in its efforts. Just complaining, instead of working on feasible solutions to our failing health system is ridiculous, a waste of time and money- resources we don't have.

Just like Bush Jr., dissenting opinion is not permitted on "I'm Fishy". All opposing opinions will be moved to "I'm Fishy: Not" to insure that the truth doesn't get mixed up with the silly nonsense and distortions on this site. Obama is asking us to keep an eye out for misinformation and wilfull distortions (like this site) so they can get the accurate information out. Of course, you wouldn't be interested in that would you?

I reek of tuna! (or is that salmon?) FISH! I smell "fishy!"

i confess i'm guilty of thinking fishy thoughts. if i lived in china i would probably have to be re-educated, but since i don't know what it means to have "fishy thoughts" in a democratic society other than wanting seafood for dinner, i'll just have to blunder along turning myself in for all sorts of mundane things!

oysters gratefully accepted.

Just like it's your right to move my post to imfishy not (which I'm sure you will), it's mine to forward a chain message full of misguided facts to whomever I please, gov't officials included. If you take issue w/ the healthcare plan (as I myself do), fine, but don't try to spin this into a free-speech issue when it's not. If the gov't were to PUNISH you for these erroneous emails, that would be alarming. Simply collecting them doesn't bother me and shouldn't be cause for a gimmicky website.

The paranoia and lack of logic here is just incredible. The White House request wasn't about reporting _people_, it was about reporting _myths_. They want to address the myths flying around, so they asked for public help to find out what those myths are. If sometime in the next several months a story emerges that says as a result of one of these tips the feds came out and arrested someone or shut down someone's myth-spreading site, I'll eat my words.

You have no clue what is going on out there. They want to hear the rumors too so they know what they have to defend against. I tell you what, live for one year without any medical coverage, just one year and see how much you pay when you go to the doctor just for a check up. Or just to get the doctor to check out a little rash, then you will understand why they are pushing health care reform.

Hope you guys are having fun with your tinfoil hats...

It's called democracy, folks. We'd almost forgotten what it looks like, given Bush's by-invitation-only "town meetings" where you had to be a Bushie to get in.

Flag@whitehouse.gov is about alerting the White House to perceived media inaccuracies ... not turning in your friends and neighbors.

While you're wrapping yourselves in the flag for the umpteenth time today, please remember that being a citizen means being INFORMED ... for r

Are you people absolutely moronic?

Why not FIND OUT what's ACTUALLY in the bill??

The President's plan CREATES COMPETITION versus the insurance companies- Isn't that what we want?

Nothing is mandatory, and the Insurance companies (along with Fox News) are trying to keep hold of their monopolies!

There are 47 MILLION Americans who have no healthcare!

WHY are you believing the propaganda?

I support Obama's healthcare reforms!

So two wars, warrantless wiretaps, the creation of a state security apparatus (the DHS) and countless other authoritarian antics passes without comment but trying to keep the families of sick people out of bankruptcy and get kids the help they need to grow strong gets you riled up? Smells worse than rotten fish from here . . .

Please move this email to I'm Fishy! Not! I am tired of outright lies being passed as facts (Hellooooo Death Panels). Real discussion of policies have been replaced by who can shout the loudest and say the most outrageous things. I am all for the right to free speech but the people responsible for shaping public policy (reporters, public servants, etc.) should at least stick to what is really being discussed and stop lying! By the way, thanks Scott for creating a spot for this viewpoint.

What do you nuts think Medicare is?
What do you think SOCIAL SECURITY is?

I am surprised you are satisfied with todays Insurance system..maybe that serves you well. This is for those who need an alternative. So if you like yours, keep it. Why fight others battles. We have heard so many lies from you right wing retards that are not even close to truth and outright delusional.

May better sense prevail

Go flag yourself, it cures a multitude of ills!

personally, I have my ears and eyes open, and have gone to great lengths to scrape as much poop from between my ears as I can, so I'm paying close attention to what's happening in D.C., and I don't think I need a "pseudo-service" like this "assisting" me. I despise liars and prevaricators of every sort, and that includes outfits like THIS one.

It's a little ironic how when the administration wants a better understanding where disinformation forms, it's suddenly Orwellian. However it's quite alright for the author of a fear-mongering website to "move" all of the opposing comments off the front page. Typical wingnut. No time for discussion as long as you're louder than everyone else in the room. I mean just look at the font size you chose...

Hey. I clicked on your ad and cost you money for this worthless, meaningless shit.

I hate it when presidents think its okay to propose something without knocking on my door and bringing a gift and explaining everything about every detail of their plan. That means that i have to take the time to watch fox news and find out what is really going on...Rude. Finally, a website where I can complain about this mess. Thanks imfishy!

Encroaching on civil liberties? HAHA. You're a moron. No one is stopping you from doing anything, including this stupid fear-mongering website. It's funny how when a politician takes interest in what's going on and being said so the it may be addressed, it's considered "encroaching on your civil liberties." Again, you=moron. All you need is a computer to keep the country in a state of havoc. What are you doing to HELP? Anyone can fling mud.

..who sat silently by while the Bush administration did far, far worse things to our civil liberties and personal rights. This entire website is nothing but hypocrisy. You bitch about being able to voice your opinion, and then you move all comments critical of your views off onto a separate page. Way to go, chief.

I have to wonder what insurance company is sponsoring this site. If the negative discourse on the healthcare issue were at all based in fact, I might agree with you, but as usual, the Republicans that run sites like this don't deal in facts, merely make up hot button issues to get people ramped up. Perhaps if they weren't on the take from the insurance industry, their stance would be different. Use your minds, people, and do your research before you jump on the bandwagon.

I believe that the health care reform will allow to be a healthier nation. The lack of insurance, fear of being dropped from insurance, and greed by insurance corporations are ruining our physical, financial, and moral heath.

You should try reading. The White House program is about flagging and responding to misinformation, not identifying people. But hey, what's one more lie from the folks who want to preserve business as usual? As long as you're making up lies about euthanasia, abortion, rationing care... why not make up one more lie that lets you play the victim!? Maybe Ann Coulter can write a book about your victim complex too... let's have rational debate, not accuse the President of being a dictator...

@ DAVE NEAUBREIN
Dave says :"KEEP YOUR PAWS OFF MY MEDICADE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Dave, Medicaid is run by government. I'm dang glad to have that coverage.

All the public option would do is give people younger than 65 the option of joining something like medicaid--if they want to.

Stop lying about health care you lying liars.

You people disturb me. Do you really think it's better to have millions of people in the country uninsured? Big corporations are making money off our sickness and you're complaining that Obama is encroaching on our civil liberties? Were you complaining about your civil liberties during the Bush administration when we were being illegally monitored?

Guys, I really think you have misunderstood the President's request. His health care communications office is asking people to forward web-based disinformation about health care. Declaring yourself "fishy" means that what you have to say is factually incorrect. That is hardly a convincing message.

Dear Mr. President.

Fuck you and all the shills you work with - and work for.

You're treading on the wrong people this time.

Go back to Kenya where you belong you piece of shit and take the rest of corrupt congress with you.

Mr. DeSapio,
You are clearly dishonest and contemptuous of our form of government and its constitution. You are not sharing your opinion, but intentionally fabricating lies in an attack on America. If democrats were doing the same thing I would be deeply embarrassed.
I know you are aware that our president is not encroaching on civil liberties but attempting to set the record straight for people that are genuinely confused by your campaign of disinformation. Shame on you.

This is interesting. The White House wishes to solicit information about the lies being told about health care reform so it can set the record straight and inform voters, and people here immediately jump to the conclusion that this is informing on your neighbors. So, the question then becomes, why are you so interested in having your lies unchallenged? Everyone is entitled to their own opinions. They are not entitled to their own facts.

Why is it that the same people who bloviate about "the Obama administration encroaching on your civil liberties" had no problem with warrantless wiretaps, the suspension of habeas corpus or the rendition and torture of anyone committing the crime of being born in a third world country.

this is stupid.

You morons couldn't explain socialism if you had to. But hey, let's keep having health insurance premiums go up 10% every year so insurance company executives can roll around in money. That's the American way: getting rich by screwing other people.

I hope that we get National Health Care. I don't mind paying more so that other people can recieve life saving treatments. I don't believe it will cost us significantly more since more money will go to treatment instead of lining the insurance company's pockets.


Didn't Jesus say: whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me. Matt 25:40.

Oh sweet irony of ironies - my previous post was deleted for expressing a dissenting opinion! Looks like Scott can dish it out, but can't take it.

The right was mostly silent when Bush spent eight years trampling over civil liberties. Supplying an email address does not vaguely resemble "gestapo tactics" or other such nonsense.

As I said before, give me a break.

Obama is right and health care needs to be reformed.

This message will be deleted by the administrators for expressing dissent.

Seriously? You bought an ad on Google for this? I don't remember you morons wasting your money when George Bush did everything possible to squash any dissent of the Iraq war or questions about the general incompetence of his administration. Now Obama wants your @yahoo.com address and he's "encroaching on [our] civil liberties"? Give me a fucking break.

I don't understand this at all. I'm on all the Obama/Democrat contact lists and haven't ever been asked to turn in any 'fishy' people. I'd have surely have quite a list if they were to ask! (I have neighbors who are white supremacists, some who are drug dealers and many who are certified insane) If anyone wants 'fishy' people, I'd certainly give them a list-but in fact, NO ONE CARES-OR SEEMS TO. Do you? If so, I'll give you a list! Julie -regarding the quote by Ayn Rand:Do you truly understand?

im tired of the limitation on economic freedom put in place by the capitalist american government. I demand socialism now!
