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."

@Talkmaster RT @ctmommy I read that attacks on Michelle Obama are to be reported to #sasquatchwatch not #attackwatch

“I’m starting to see what you mean. I like to say that on the internet the truth percolates to the surface. It appears that Twitter is the truth’s high speed elevator. And when lies try to use the elevator they get splatted on the floor when it takes off.”

I really like that image.

More postings from me... just can’t help myself...

Was losing argument with #teaparty neighbor, so I called her a racist. Forgot she was black. Awkward. #attackwatch

#ifyouloveme and #passthisbill — you know, this is starting to look mentally unstable. Should invoke 25th, but, jeez, Biden. #attackwatch

@AttackWatch fact request: Will Obama’s next Nobel Prize be for bombing Lybia or arming Mexican drug lords? #attackwatch #fastandfurious

@AttackWatch fact request: what are the window dimensions in the Oval Office. @SarahPalinUSA is shopping for drapes. #attackwatch

Last set for now...

@AttackWatch fact request: I forget, on Fridays do we blame Bush, @SarahPalinUSA, #TeaParty, or House #GOP? #attackwatch

@AttackWatch fact request: how do I map “tax and spend” to “hope and change”? Is it a 1-to-1 mapping, or more subtle? #attackwatch

#attackwatch Some idiot Senator said if Obama didn’t fix economy in 3 years he didn’t deserve re-election. Should Hoffa “take him out”?

Don’t be offended if I don’t accept. I only created the account for #AttackWatch mockery, and I’ll likely delete it when it’s all over.
