Dead pool: How long before Obama’s campaign flushes Attack Watch down the toilet?
Hot Air ^ | SEPTEMBER 14, 2011 | ALLAHPUNDIT

Posted on 09/14/2011 5:38:43 PM PDT by RobinMasters

Not only are major papers running headlines about the site becoming a laughingstock, even respected liberals are admitting that they would have flipped out had Bush tried something similar. Place your bets: How much longer can the PR beating go on before someone throws in the towel? Ace thinks it’ll be gone — or at least substantially overhauled to rid it of the “snazzy Gestapo color scheme” — by 6 p.m. ET. I’m thinking they’re going to stick with it for the long haul for the reason MKH gives here:

Design regression from Fight the Smears to #AttackWatch is metaphor for Obama 08 vs. 12. Same product, subtract style, sprinkle desperation.

Compare and contrast. We’re more than a year away from election day and it’s already axiomatic that this will be the nastiest campaign in recent memory — and the worse the economy is, the nastier it’ll be on the White House’s end. Why pretend otherwise by adding rainbows and unicorns to AttackWatch.com now? They should keep the site as is and embrace the new scorched-earth vision of “Hope” and “Change.” Or better yet, embellish the motif. How about a grainy photo of Joe Biden in a balaclava to add “atmosphere”?

Went over to DU a couple hours ago to see what they had to say. Not a word about this over there.

Yes, some of my FB friends are a bit upset with me. Oh well.

Apparently an ‘attack’ occurs whenever someone who is not aligned with Obama speaks. If Rick Perry were to remark, “Nice weather today”, he would be denounced as a climate change denier.

What a scam. Did they tell you that “7 people were searching for you right now”? LOL.

I read some of the postings today and they were hilarious. I love seeing Obama being made a fool of.

Haven't kept up today on this site (attackwatch). While out and about today noticed Fox News was on at locations that normally have on CNN. Asked about this at one of the locations and was told ... “oh, you will figure it out”. Thanks folks, you helped me figure it out.

Dear #attackwatch: Orwell’s 1984 was a cautionary tale, not an instruction manual.

I thought that was priceless.

The pure black background and stark lettering gives it such an ominous and dangerous aura. Why would they want to associated such images with Obama, who once surrounded himself with the mantle of hope, goodness, peace and light?

My thinking is that this is part desperation, but also in part the logical conclusion of seducing, then warping the weak-minded into fanatical followers.

I was still able to report a “thoughtcrime”, at least it seemed to take it before going to the donate page.
