Pro-Obama hashtag backfires on Twitter (LOL LOL)
The Hill ^ | 9-14-11 | Alicia M. Cohn

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."

I saw this on Drudge last night while looking for the NY9 results. A quick mention on Facebook, and then to sleep.

But this morning -POW! #AttackWatch is everywhere. And it’s been FUN.

Best thing I have seen today was a Tweet to AttackWatch that was a take off on Obama’s “WTF - Winning The Future” (remember that debacle?) saying, “Obama - Wear The Fail!”

This proves how out of touch the regime is. Launching a site like this and not seeing the potential for pure comedy.

Hmmmm?

All of a sudden my Twitter link quit loading and now I get a "Problem Loading Page" screen.

The internet kill switch was flipped or so many people are off work now they overloaded the system with jumping on the AttackWatch trashing.

Having been born and raised in South Florida I am very familiar with the sting of scorpions. So when we found any we would “taunt” them with sticks until they stung themselves, dead
I see similarities to scorpions, in the present Regime!
Stay safe and use a big stick.

Not to pick a nit, but technically it was news of something going on that turned out to be the attack that, supposedly, killed OBL.

But I get the drift. Personally, I don’t get Twitter. I don’t use a smart phone and don’t carry a computer with me everywhere I go so don’t use it.

Actually, Donald Rumsfeld's former aide Keith Urban broke the news of Bin Ladens' death on Twitter 45 minutes before Obama's speech.

Fortunatly it is around, and people have never been free-er to express themselves and make sport of and deride idiocy like the Obama’s.
The young are very aware of what’s going on and even though they thought they were making history electing this communist, I think they may have learned there lesson, Just like my generation learnd it’s lesson after electing Jimmy Carter, let’s hope!
