“In less than 24 hours, Attack Watch has become the biggest campaign joke in modern history”

◼ Attack Watch, new Obama campaign site to ‘fight smears,’ becomes laughing stock - Elizabeth Flock/Washington Post

On Twitter, where the (The President's Campaign) 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 @attackwatch,” an Arizonan tweeted.

It’s 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 critics’s argument: “Wow, not only are Obama & Co. incredibly thin-skinned, they're paranoid.”
