Attack Watch: Obama's New Campaign Website
Brian Koenig ^ | 9/13/11 | Brian Koenig

Posted on 09/13/2011 8:59:14 PM PDT by Freemarkets101

Attackwatch.com is the Obama campaign's new website to "expose" his political foes by allowing users to "report attacks" on his economic policies. The glossy new website - which features pundits and GOP candidates such as Rick Perry, Mitt Romney, and Glenn Beck - models sites like Politifact and FactCheck.org, but with a little more spin and a hell of a lot more slant.

"President Obama's opponents are still using false claims against him and his record in an attempt to derail our momentum," says the site's copy, as it "clarifies" the President's views on Israel, gun control, immigration, and the TARP bailout. Here are a few examples of what the site calls "Attack Files":

•Immigration Reform Inaccuracies: Republican media figures have accused President Obama of refusing to deport hundreds of thousands of undocumented immigrants.

•Israel and Middle East Falsehoods: President Obama’s opponents have falsely suggested that the President has not been a strong ally to Israel.

•Gun Control Gossip: Public figures have made outlandish claims that President Obama is planning to use a United Nations treaty to take away legal firearms from gun owners in the US.

•TARP Bank Bailout Smears: Attacks claiming the Troubled Assets Relief Program (TARP) was signed into law by President Obama are factually incorrect.

Attack Watch has it all: users can "Report Attacks," they can "Join the Attack Wire," and above all, "Support the Truth!"

With that said, anyone who says Obama is not in campaign mode needs a serious brain examination.

I wonder how many of these sites for whining liberal girlymen the Kenyan Fuhrer needs? What is this now? Somewhere in the hundreds?

It may alter the earth’s gravitational field every time she ingests another bucket of BBQ wings.

The man who would be king is paranoid, and for good reason.

And a pile of cheeseburgers, a high-calorie malt, lobsters served with drawn butter, ice cream...

LOL - anyone who thinks Obama has been a "strong ally" to Israel needs to have their head examined. He's playing for the other team. Anyone who has paid attention to the "Fast and Furious" scandal knows that Team Obama desperately wants to take legal firearms away from gun owners. Good grief. This stuff is straight out of Orwell.

I am having a great time reporting myself. I also reported an email that I received today from an elderly relative that said Obama was no longer licensed to practice law in Illinois. However, I told them I was skeptical but after doing some more research it appeared to be true!

I am reporting everything I have ever heard about Obama. Everyone should feel free to send in their .02 too. I am moving on to the birth certificate, SSN, and his trip to Pakistan as an Indonesian student now.

Attackwatch.com?!
Sounds like weakness to me.
You're watching out for attacks instead of advancing.

So it appears that Obama’s current and future plans are to flood our country with illegal immigrants, throw Israel to the dogs, take our guns away and give us many more TARPS and Stimulus packages. Why else would he be so paranoid about these particular issues ? His website looks like something you would expect to see in a communist totalitarian dictatorship.

I heard a Republican once claim that Obama is smart. Should I report that?

I think I'll report as attacks Obama’s own past positions and speeches that are now at odds with his current positions, like in 2006 when Senator Obama was critical about raising the debt ceiling. We could have Senator Obama and Candidate Obama attacking President Obama. What fun.
