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”?

Dear Mr. President,

My neighbor at 846 Elm Street has a bumper sticker that says, “Political Dissent Isn't Racist”. Isn't that racist?

He's not black so I think it must be racist. Is it a hate crime? Will you take care of him, or should I do it, because I know you are busy.

Just let me know.

Lawanda

P.S. Please send some more of your stash, we needs it for the new 60” TV we're getting when my son's baby daddy gets out on parole.

Not to change the subject but you mentioned General Burkhalter. He was fat, red faced and old on Hogan’s Heroes, but he lived to be around 100 years old!!!!! Umbelievable.

It's Obama's ears thing. This will die so fast. I'll say next week or so. Once conservatives jumped on it, and overwhelmed this project, it

FAILED

“I love seeing Obama being made a fool of.”

The whole world sees him as Bozo the clown-—for anyone old enough to remember Bozo.

At least Bozo didn’t hate America (as far as I know).

I don’t know. I wouldn’t underestimate a few things. Obama’s personal involvement in some of this inane stupidity. The effect his narcissism has on same. The effect of the enablers of that mental illness he surrounds himself with.

Well, I sure hope someone saves all the stuff on the site before they take it down.

That wit and wisdom needs to be saved for posterity.

It’ll go after the designated czar(s) and other beneficiaries get their “personal” cut of the funding. It’s the Chicago way.
