Attack Watch has become a laughing stock
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. On Twitter, where the Web site has an account to help Obama supporters submit evidence of "attacks" on the president using the hashtag #attackwatch, iowhawk has been blowing him up nearly every tweet about the site -- mostly from conservatives -- has ridiculed it. go to the link and watch the video Posted by: Beavis 2011-09-15 |
