Attack Watch, website started by President Obama's campaign organization, was intended to be a repository for supporters to report "attacks" on Obama's record and get the facts. But its rollout has been met with scathing mockery by conservatives, who call it a second-rate version of previous Big Brother sites created by Team Obama.
The onslaught of hilarity was fed first by a brutal parody created by an outfit called Misfit Politics. The mock ad repeats the name "Attack Watch" in a voice mimicking the Budweiser "Whassup" ad of Super Bowl yore and then goes on to offer examples of the types of misinformation readers can report.
Conservative critic Mark Steyn, a native of the U.K., then cheered that he was the only foreigner with a designation on AttackWatch.com.

That was good!
I’ve been reading the tweets all day. Twitter still won’t admit the amount of traffic and classify it as a “trend” for some reason. I don’t know enough about Twitter to say they have ties to the White Hut or not.
Must bookmark for later when I feel depressed
“I’ve already reported myself.”
I would suggest reporting “almost everyone I know,” also. You might as well be comprehensive.
This attack watch nonsense is even more fun than the informant site the White House first set up in ‘09
And oh, it’s been fun!
Media Mutters’ Eric Boehlert is blissfully ignorant of the effect of #AttackWAAAAATCH! He thinks we’re hiding like scared children. A number of us on Twitter had to illustrate the difference between cowering and pointing and laughing.
I can relate, my kids are pushing the 30 year mark. We’re getting old.
I tweeted several today, but my favorite was:
Mr. Prez, I think Justin Bieber stole your girl jeans. You want we should rough him up or call #AttackWatch ?
Thanks for the follow back!
That 6-ATM tweet has been retweeted over 100 times, including by Glenn Beck. Well done...
That's funny...it's been showing as a Trending Topic for most of the last 24 hours for me
Ping for later viewing.
Someone else just told me they saw it earlier today then the site went down for a few minutes and it was gone when everything came back up. [palms up with quizzical look]
“... someone in WH keeps leavin the toilet seat up! OK-Pretty sure it’s Napolitano.”
OMG! That one made me squirt milk out of my nose. You owe me a new pair of glasses and a new keyboard.
FoxNews is constantly attacked for being conservative while 98% of their news is recycled AP/UPI/Reuters garbage and most of the talking heads parrot Peter Jennings and Wolf Blitzer.
“Sieg Heil”, Obama...

Oops, you already posted it. It’s hilarious, though, so it won’t hurt being posted twice.
