Pro-Obama hashtag backfires on Twitter (LOL LOL)
The Hill ^ | 9-14-11 | Alicia M. Cohn

Posted on 09/14/2011 8:00:14 AM PDT by dynachrome

A new Twitter hashtag designed to help fight misinformation against President Obama appears to have backfired in early use on Wednesday.

President Obama's Twitter feed, which is run by his campaign staff, on Tuesday evening started promoting the new website AttackWatch.com and hashtag #AttackWatch, designed to fight misinformation against the president.

The hashtag was already in heavy rotation by Twitter users by Wednesday morning, but many users are conservatives such as columnist Michelle Malkin, who offered up her own daily column as an example of an Obama "attack."

Yep.

Twitter can be useful or inane... the news of Bin Laden's death broke on Twitter 15 minutes before anywhere else.

There are lots and lots of conservatives and tea party members on Twitter engaging the conversation.

It's good because it's another avenue the MSM can't control.

Could it be that Mr. Obama doesn’t know what he’s doing, and neither do his handlers?

I would encourage them to stop in their tracks, take a good look at themselves, and turn around and go the other way.

Barbequeing while laughing your ass off could be dangerous.

Be sure to wear your goggles and hearing protection.

And from there we could ask, how far can this administration push things before they realize U.S. troops will not fight for Obama against the citizens of their country?

What irony! Ridicule (one of Saul Alinsky's rules to disparage opponents) being used against an Alinsky disciple.
