I can see in a few years that these same people will become willing snitches for the Obungler regime once it finishes kicking the constitution to the curb. I am a student of history and I know a bit of East Germany since I spent a lot of time there before the wall fell and was there after the wall dropped. 1 out of 7 people in east Germany snitched for the Stasi. What was in it for them to turn in their neighbor?
Most did it for material gain either goodies from their political masters or privileges. Most did not have an altruistic motive, it was basically motivated by banal self interest.. I don't discuss nothing with my neighbors, all I would need is one to call "da man" and I have them come to my house in the middle of the night and put me in "protective custody" or something like that. I am a believer in OPSEC.
The Obama campaign is today beginning a new effort to enlist and educate at least 2 million supporters for a "grassroots communications team" they're calling the Truth Team.
"The goal is to ensure that when Republicans attack President Obama's record, grassroots supporters can take ownership of the campaign and share the facts with the undecided voters in their lives," the campaign said in a statement.
The teams will be first launched in 13 "swing states," including Iowa, Michigan, New Hampshire, New Mexico, North Carolina, Wisconsin, Arizona, Colorado, Florida, Minnesota, Nevada, Ohio and Virginia.
The rollout also includes a social media blitz, directing supporters to three new websites: KeepingHisWord.com, which highlights Obama's record and "promises kept"; KeepingGOPHonest.com, which highlights GOP policy positions; and AttackWatch.com, which fact-checks claims made against Obama on the campaign trail.
"If the other guys are going to run a campaign based on misrepresenting the president's record - and their own - we have two options: sit back and let these lies go unchallenged, or fight back with the truth," deputy Obama campaign manager Stephanie Cutter said in an email. "We're fighting back."
So far, the "other guys" mentioned on the three websites are almost exclusively limited to former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney. There is one mention of former House Speaker Newt Gingrich and one mention of the pro-Republican super PAC Americans for Prosperity.
Obama organized a similar grassroots effort in 2008 - Fight the Smears - that involved more than 1 million supporters, campaign aides said.
