A new Twitter hashtag designed to help fight misinformation against President Obama appears to have backfired in early use on Wednesday.
President Obama's Twitter feed, which is run by his campaign staff, on Tuesday evening started promoting the new website AttackWatch.com and hashtag #AttackWatch, designed to fight misinformation against the president.
The hashtag was already in heavy rotation by Twitter users by Wednesday morning, but many users are conservatives such as columnist Michelle Malkin, who offered up her own daily column as an example of an Obama "attack."
The website is meant to be "the first line of defense against a barrage of misinformation," according to an email from Obama's campaign manager announcing the launch on Tuesday.
Businessman Herman Cain, a Republican presidential hopeful, also responded to the announcement of the website on Wednesday.
"Seriously?" he tweeted.
“Dear #AttackWatch I’m still trying to understand why anyone wants to attack watches.”
ROTFLOL!!!
Paranoia? Enemies lists? 3 words ...
Barack Milhous Obama
It’s a valid question. The actions you speak of are part and parcel for a deeply disturbed narcissist. In their fantasy world everything revolves around them and everyone else is simply an actor on their stage to do his bidding. When the actors start misbehaving against the narcissist, he’s willing to take whatever action necessary to get them back into line. This is nothing compared to what he is really capable of doing as a narcissist whose finds his world collapsing around him.
Even MORE Attackwatch Tweets:

I think Nixon was pretty darn paranoid.
(Although, are you 'paranoid' if people really are out to get you?)
But in any case, he had the dignity not to hang it out there for all the world to see, didn't have a "1-800-TattleOnNixonsEnemies" hotline, e.g.
Tweets ahoy!

You don’t need a “device”, you can just use the twitter.com website. You do need a username, though. #NoLurking :(
