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."

A politician associating with a communications medium which he does not control is going to get screwed.

Hmmmmm!

This re-affirms my saying “There is a God and he/she has one superior sense of HUMOR”..

I created a Twitter account just for this. My contribution so far:

Is “cash for clunkers” still in operation? How much can we get trading in @BarackObama toward a President who actually works? #attackwatch

I just got request denied when I tried to follow #AttackWatch.

I think they figured out they screwed the pooch.

That's bordering on starting a Blasphemous Rumour - to think that God's got a sick sense of humor.

I think that's bumper sticker material. How does this sound? ...

Watch The Fresh Prince of Bill Ayers.

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

What really is going on is that the FPoBA (Fresh Prince of Bill Ayers) and his entourage believe that they are superior and that everyone is a groupie.

One liners are good for slinging mud,... Good, newbie. The Union goons sling baseball bats and shiite, so when the same people give us the opportunity to express the views of the American people (and the world)and is time to ridicule these semi-juvenile, Marxist, grifters and ridicule the living HELL out of them. Go back to your Communist websites and quit trying to run interference for these bastards.
