Now, if it were ‘BungleWatch’ ... (Obama campaign creates new website to report "lies" about Obama)

President Obama’s campaign team has trotted out AttackWatch.com, a spooky new Web site that asks followers to report “lies” being told about the president.
The apparent point is to drown out opposition to Obama and his policies by encouraging instant cyber-swarms aimed squarely at the critics.
The rollout brought much derision, with The Washington Post calling the site a full-fledged “laughingstock” within hours of its launch. Online satirist IowaHawk wrote, “I’m grateful to live in a country where the totalitarians are so hilariously inept.”
Totalitarian might be a bit over the top. Trolling for snitches, which is what AttackWatch appears to be about, is more like it.

Thin skin seems to be a bit of a problem for the potus.

Totalitarian might be a bit over the top.AttackWatch is completely totalitarian. The plan was to get people reporting their neighbors for dissident thought.
Fortunately Obama fails at Nazism. #AttackWatch

A much more used site would be a site that reports on Obama’s lies.
The only time I ever believe Obama is when he says he is taking another vacation trip.

Obuma is delusional. He believes this is 1917, and the masses will rise up and attack the kulaks. Anachronism, anyone? What a joke.
To: lowbridge
They aren’t just looking for lies. They are looking for any attacks - true or otherwise.
They want to create responses to all attacks, and my guess is most of the lies involved here will be in the responses, not the attacks.

I’ve forgotten what they called it in 2008.

Now, if it were ‘BungleWatch’ ...
I was thinking Bunghole Watch would be more appropriate,

Figured out this AttackWatch site. The site wants to know when lies have been said about zer0. This means any democRAT speaking about zer0 has to be reported.

Is this different from the program they had before? Only in that they were dumb enough to promote a "hashtag" that conservatives immediately jumped on to make a complete and utter mockery of the idea.
I created a Twitter account just to join in the fun.

I’d like to see a website that reports all of the lies that spew out of the mouth of Obummer, his cabinet, and the Dem-bulb Party.

They are assuming MSM and left blogs will use their responses for talking points leading up to 2012 election.

You do know that the democratic party line states, “Snitches get stitches and end up in ditches.”
