You know, sometimes I suspect there are forces within the Obama administration attempting to throw the upcoming presidential election race. The most recent evidence of this is a truly Orwellian website, Attack Watch, at which Obama supporters can report unfair attacks on Fearless Empty Suit. Go here to view the Attack Watch webite. Sheesh, I hope the Obama campaign didn’t waste much money on the design of this snitch site. I guess they aimed for foreboding and hit silly. I practically expect to hear the Imperial March theme from Star Wars. Actually, I will supply that for your listening pleasure as you are perusing the site:
I trust that someone will report each and every post that I have made regarding Glorious Empty Suit as an unfair attack. Just remember to spell my name correctly: McClarey is a little bit tricky. Apparently the site is being deluged by Obama critics reporting their own attacks, but alas I am too lazy to turn myself in, and I trust someone will do it for me.
One of the more hilarious parts of the site is here, which attempts to spoonfeed arguments to Obama supporters to respond to attacks. I guess the campaign assumes that anyone supporting the Empty Suit Helmsman is too stupid to think up pro-Obama arguments on their own.
I am truly disappointed by the production values of the website. This type of thing has been done much better in the past.
The twitter responses to this are hysterical:

Hey #attackwatch, I saw 6 ATM’s in an alley, killing a Job. It looked like a hate crime!
Obama campaign announces new site AttackWatchAttackWatch.com to stop attacks aimed at discrediting #attackwatch.
RT @AtackWatch See a new attack on the President or his record? Use #gestapo to report it and discuss attacks as they happen.
This whole AttackWatch program would be really funny if I was watching it on the Colbert Report, but unfortunately it is true and the President of the United States of America is behind it. That makes is scarey, bazaar, unsettling, etc…
If there is anyone out there who still believes that Obama is playing with a full deck they should be evaluated by a shrink also.
I’m still considering getting a picture of our youngest daughter with a copy of my Right Wing Conspiracy Handbook and sending it in…
She drinks raw, uninspected whole milk! And has gained over ten percent of her body weight in two weeks! And is associated with guns, alcohol and tobacco! (…OK, so the first two consist of “living in a house where it is,” and the second one is because cigar boxes are incredibly handy….)
“I guess the campaign assumes that anyone supporting the Empty Suit Helmsman is too stupid to think up pro-Obama arguments on their own.”
-and, by featuring pictures of the fearsome three at the top of the page, inform supporters upon whom to initiate counterattack due to the kneejerk action verb terminology of the watch site, the black background and red lettering giving emphasis to the serious outrage of it all.
now, back to twitter …
[…] Internet Hitler, it is true: Attack Watch has become the joke of the week on the Internet. Oh well, the supporters of the Chicago Messiah […]
