This is the actual Attack Watch ad. It is a call for people to report negative statements made about Barack Obama. It seems an awful lot like Big Brother in 1984. Instead of, "Big Brother is watching you.", we now have, "Barack Obama is watching you". http://www.attackwatch.com/ Attack Watch, new Obama campaign site to fight smears, becomes laughing stock of conservatives By Elizabeth Flock This is what the Washington Post, definitely not a right leaning newspaper, has to say about the site: As the 2012 presidential campaign heats up, President Obamas 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 sites 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. On Twitter, where the Web site has an account to help Obama supporters submit evidence of attacks on the president using the hashtag #attackwatch, nearly every tweet about the site mostly from conservatives has ridiculed it. 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: Tommy Christopher of Mediaite noted sarcastically of the site, Great. Sounds like a terrific content-generating resource for right-wing bloggers, too. Everybody wins! While the initiative is reminiscent of a similar online effort launched during the 2008 campaign, called Fight the Smears, the intimidating design and language of the new site seems to be whats causing a bigger ruckus. Fight the Smears looked and felt far less scary, quoting Obama at the top of its page in a classic hope-change statement: What you wont hear from this campaign or this party is the kind of politics that uses religion as a wedge, and patriotism as a bludgeon that sees our opponents not as competitors to challenge but enemies to demonize. Attack Watch, on the other hand, uses the shorter tagline, Get the Truth. Fight the Smears. Its safe to say that in its 24 hours of existence, Attack Watch has already backfired, becoming a tool for conservatives to use against Obama 2012. A tweet by conservative author Brad Thor summed up the criticss argument: Wow, not only are Obama & Co. incredibly thin-skinned, they're paranoid. And this is the parody of the site that is burning up the internet: [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-XYKRokgX00"]Attack Watch Commercial - YouTube[/ame] It is far better for a politician to be disliked than it is for him to be ridiculed and Barack Obama is being ridiculed mercilessly because of Attack Watch. I predict that Barack Obama's, Attack Watch will go down as one of the greatest disasters in American political history.
