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, nearly every tweet about the site — mostly from conservatives — has ridiculed it.

Well, SierraWasp, between you, me and the fencepost, I do believe that we’ll see the death of the racist, neo-nazi rat party. Stone-cold dead. Petrified. Not able to move a muscle.
We’ll get a rescue party together to kill whatever rats are left. Wear a Gadsden T-shirt so we don’t plug ya full of bullets, okay?
Cheers, buddy. Always good to see your posts here on FR.
I'm advising that Mile Wide and an Inch Deep and his insufferably entitled wife living off of the taxpayer are crushing capitalism with malice. But hey they're eating good and having some fine parties. By the way add a true statement to your dropdown menu. So are you hopeychangey but we want your papers guys embarrassed yet?......
I may be taking a swat at the Bamster's Gestapo....

Dear Attack Watch, I am watching baseball and someone just stole second base. Please investigate.
LOL!
the attempted talking point by a few “brave” left-leaning souls appears to be “fact-checking” — I find it ironic and ... rather pathetic
