The White House for the first time Sunday seemed to acknowledge that people across the country received unsolicited e-mails from the administration last week about health care reform, suggesting the problem is with third-party groups that placed the recipients' names on the distribution list.
In a written statement released exclusively to FOX News, White House spokesman Nick Shapiro said the White House hopes those who received the e-mails without signing up for them were not "inconvenienced" by the messages.
"The White House e-mail list is made up of e-mail addresses obtained solely through the White House Web site. The White House doesn't purchase, upload or merge from any other list, again, all e-mails come from the White House Web site as we have no interest in e-mailing anyone who does not want to receive an e-mail," the statement said. "If an individual received the e-mail because someone else or a group signed them up or forwarded the e-mail, we hope they were not too inconvenienced."
The White House previously would not answer questions on how the e-mails landed unsolicited in so many inboxes. White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs on Thursday said he couldn't give an answer until he saw who received the e-mails because he doesn't have "omnipotent clarity."
Yet the White House ignored repeated offers from FOX News to share with the administration such e-mail addresses, to help determine how the recipients ended up on the White House distribution list.

What a steaming pile of horse shit. That lie wouldn't even past muster with a seven year old.

Blame is the only buck that barack will pass.

They still didn't answer the question WHERE they got the addresses. Which could be very illegal. Thank goodness for Fox News and FOIA, but they should push this further.
Did they use a government list like DMV or the IRS ? Did they use taxpayer money to "buy" an email list from any non-profit groups that you may have donated to online? Many of them do sell mailing lists to raise money. Mostly to each other.
Another possibility, if you've ever clicked on WH.gov, do they grab your cookie ?

flag@whitehouse.gov
Yeah-butt, I thought that was for emails from Hillary, you know, the ones that smell a little fishy?? :naughty:
Me, I send spam here....[it actually seems to work, no repeat offenders]
SPAM@UCE.GOV
As Bart Simpson said, spread the wealth....

They used the list of addresses that were reported to Flag. Those were the people needing attitude adjustment. It also let those racist, anti-government, right wingers that the White House knew who they were. :fuelfire:

A lot of truth to that statement

The timing of Axelrod's email is suspect, with regards to people being report to the White house.

Honestly, this is the most stupid trumped-up controversy I have seen in ages, it embarasses me every time someone on our side tries to make a big deal out of it. If you have an email account and actually use it for posting comments on any public boards, or enroll in any kind of email alert from any even-half-assed semi-political group, the address will eventually get harvested by a 'bot and given to other partisan or issue groups. BFD.

Spamming is still illegal. If everything about this was above board and legit, then FNC would not have had to file a FOIA, and the White House would have released their methods and lists.

Guess we can just add this to the ever-growing list of crimes committed by members of the 0ministration.
