#AttackWatch Mr. Obama, someone’s trying to attack the economy to kill your reelection hopes. I think it’s an inside job. Be careful. #PJTV

This is the stupidest thing 0 people have come up with.
Wasn’t there one like this before?
And how would they disprove any ‘smears/misinformation’ anyway.
Oh I know, just lie some more.
They just fishing for email addresses and name of they’re ‘enemies’. IMO
Something like this:

@attackwatch I heard those evil Koch Bros started a new hashtag called #attackwatch
Joking aside, this is scary. Stalin was just as paranoid and imagine what Stalin would have done had Twitter been available to him.
