Watch "Attack Waaaatch" Commercial
Heh.
As the 2012 presidential campaign heats up, President Obama’s campaign team has set up a new Web site, AttackWatch.com, to challenge negative statements about the president made by Republican presidential candidates and conservatives.Obama for America national field director Jeremy Bird told ABC News that the site’s goal is to offer “resources to fight back” against attacks. Mostly, that means fact checking statements from the likes of GOP presidential contenders Mitt Romney and Rick Perry and conservative commentator Glenn Beck and offering evidence to the contrary. The site is designed in bold red and black colors, and uses statements like “support the truth” and “fight the smears.”
The response to the site has been less than stellar. ...
“There's a new Twitter account making President Obama look like a creepy, authoritarian nutjob,” an Arizonan tweeted. “In less than 24 hours, Attack Watch has become the biggest campaign joke in modern history,” a contributor to conservative blog The Right Sphere wrote. The contributor linked to the following parody commercial for Attack Watch:
(... wait, am I going to get reported to the real "Attack Watch" website for highlighting this video???)

Smeone more computer savvy than I can probably pick up on this, but I understand that if you click on the "support" button at Attack Watch, you are taken to an Obama campaign fund.

Posted by: Warrington Faust at September 15, 2011 8:08 PMIt's satire, Warrington - a pretend ad for the President's website, "Attack Watch". Sorry I wasn't more clear.
Posted by: Monique at September 15, 2011 10:29 PMThe website is an indicator of how paranoid Hussein Obama has become. The lame stream media would crucified Nixon if he had done this. The darling would be dictator of the left Hussein is continually given a free pass. Now he just wants everyone to "love" him...as he screws them over.

Posted by: Mark at September 16, 2011 1:02 PMYou are correct Warrington. The page is sponsored by Obama for America and you can actually get on monthly automatic donations. Tell me some sixteen year old geek somewhere isn't loading their Inbox full of phony accusations and stories under multiple email addresses for kicks and giggles. I didn't think they could be that stupid.
