    I just checked out the AttackWatch website. Super creepy. Black background, angry red and white font. Pictures of Republicans and conservatives with grainy crimson shadowing. 2 Minutes Hate stuff. I can't imagine whoevers job it is to run that site is a healthy, emotionally balanced person. Even if you're countering smears, it seems that you'd want to put a positive spin on things, no?

    Their '"Attack Files" are a sophomoric joke. If those are the best arguments they can come up with to support Dear Leader's policies, no wonder his poll numbers are falling faster than a fat skydiver with a broken parachute.

    Furthermore, and with great amusement, I signed up for the AttackWatch Twitter feed, and noticed that over half of the folks following said feed are in fact conservative individuals, media types or organizations. No real notable liberals in the group. Talk about disappointing! How would you feel if you threw a propaganda party, and only your sneering enemies came?

    Having your own cult of personality just ain't what it used to be.

    Attack Watch:

    5 Reasons the Obama Gatekeeping Web Site Is Pointless


    By Nadine DeNinno | September 14, 2011 10:37 PM EDT

    In an effort to rouse political fervor, President Barack Obama and his campaign team have released a gatekeeping Web site called "Attack Watch" to set facts straight.

    According to Obama for America national field director Jeremy Bird, AttackWatch.com offers "resources to fight back" against negative or untrue statements made by Republican and Conservative candidates.

    "When another unfounded attack surfaces, we'll arm you with the truth so you can share the facts with your friends and family," the Web site says, offering the capability to "report an attack."

    The Attack Watch Web site, with dramatic red and black lettering, has a separate Twitter account, @AttackWatch, pleading it is "fighting back with the facts." Attack Watch is similar to "Fight the Smears" released by Obama during the 2008 election, but with a more stagy tone.

    Katie Hogan, deputy press secretary, told the Washington Post that nearly 100,000 people signed up for the site in the first 24 hours since an e-mail campaign was released.

    "This site is a tool providing our supporters with the facts they need to fight back against lies and distortions about the President's record," Hogan told the Washington Post.

    Here are 5 reasons the Obama gatekeeping Web site is pointless. Please don't report me to Attack Watch...

    1. It's Counterproductive

    The Web site has become simply an instrument used by opponents to rail the President by Conservatives, using it as their personal punching bag. The people who monitor the site will be quite busy, as Attack Watch only warrants more attacking.

    2. It Has Become a Laughingstock

    Instead of serving its purpose to "fight with the facts," most people have made a mockery out of the Web site.

    Example 1: @thorninaz: "#attackwatch I saw someone purposely squeeze the Charmin in the grocery store."

    Example 2: @Libertarian_ish: "Every time a TSA Agent gives your privates a "high five" an #attackwatch angel of death is born!"

    Example 3: @JoeNYLaw: "Dear #attackwatch: After we turn in our children for thinking illegal thoughts about our Dear Leader, can we say Hi to Minister Goebells?"

    3. What's the Purpose?

    Attacking an opposing belief, isn't that just the definition of the word "Politics?"

    4. Is it for Money?

    Surprise. Attack Watch asks for money for the 2012 campaign. Is this what the donations fund?

    5. Where are the Jobs?

    I wonder how many jobs were created by this Web site, or how long it took to conceive in which case jobs could have been created instead?

    @BradThor: "If only the #Obama administration could create an atmosphere where jobs materialized as quickly as #attackwatch jokes!"

    Obama Campaign's 'Attack Watch'

    Becomes Victim of Conservative Mockery


    Published September 15, 2011 | FoxNews.com


    Attack Watch, website started by President Obama's campaign organization, was intended to be a repository for supporters to report "attacks" on Obama's record and get the facts. But its rollout has been met with scathing mockery by conservatives, who call it a second-rate version of previous Big Brother sites created by Team Obama.

    The onslaught of hilarity was fed first by a brutal parody created by an outfit called Misfit Politics. The mock ad repeats the name "Attack Watch" in a voice mimicking the Budweiser "Whassup" ad of Super Bowl yore and then goes on to offer examples of the types of misinformation readers can report.

    Conservative critic Mark Steyn, a native of the U.K., then cheered that he was the only foreigner with a designation on AttackWatch.com.

    Both were met with comment after comment from readers offering the type of "attacks" they were going to report to the Obama re-election site. The #attackwatch Twitter page was immediately spammed with tweet after tweet heavy on sarcasm regarding the president's stimulus and jobs creation plans.

    "hey #AttackWatch I heard the only good 'Cash For Clunkers' did was get all the obama stickers off the roads, thank you," tweeted @speedyjerry.

    "Hey #attackwatch, I saw 6 ATM's in an alley, killing a Job. It looked like a hate crime!" wrote @thorninaz.

    Obama campaign spokeswoman Katie Hogan told the Washington Post that 100,000 people had signed up for the site in the first 24 hours.

    "This site is a tool providing our supporters with the facts they need to fight back against lies and distortions about the president's record," she told the newspaper.

    But syndicated columnist Michelle Malkin said this site, the fourth one launched in three years attempting to respond to political attacks, has backfired on the Obama team.

    "What this is really about is some sort of campaign against their opponents, and it's not working anymore," she said.

    "Back in 2008, the Obama campaign had claimed this mantle as the tech savvy geniuses, and what's happened is that conservatives on Twitter and on YouTube and all the social networks have been able to strike back, and humor is always the best revenge," she said.

    In an opinion article published in the International Business Times, Nadine DeNinno argues the site is pointless, saying it is counterproductive and has become a laughingstock.

    "The website has become simply an instrument used by opponents to rail the president by conservatives, using it as their personal punching bag," she wrote. "The people who monitor the site will be quite busy, as Attack Watch only warrants more attacking."

    She also wondered how many jobs the site created, "or how long it took to conceive, in which case jobs could have been created instead?" She then quoted @BradThor who tweeted, "If only the #Obama administration could create an atmosphere where jobs materialized as quickly as #attackwatch jokes!"
