Obama Campaign Launches AttackWatch.com To ‘Get The Facts, Fight The Smears’

» 81 comments

The Obama campaign has launched a new version of 2008′s “Fight the Smears” website (also a rejected Windex slogan) that debunked guano from every source, but with some new twists. AttackWatch.com does a 180 on the old site’s shiny, happy design, and includes a nifty crowd-sourcing feature that allows supporters (or not) to report an attack, and even to attach a file. Hmmm, we’ve got a report from a supporter named Haywood D’jablowmee, let me just open that attachment…

In an email to supporters, Obama campaign manager Jim Messina said, “There are a lot of folks on the other side who are chomping at the bit to distort the President’s record. It’s not a question of if the next big lie will come, just when — and what we’re prepared to do about it.”

He called on the President’s supporters to join AttackWatch (which is also referred to as “Attack Wire”) so they can “be on the front lines,” and hear about false claims as soon as they come up.”

Great. Sounds like a terrific content-generating resource for right-wing bloggers, too. Everybody wins!

Messina goes on to say, “we’ll count on you to spread the truth to your friends and personal networks and let us know about new smears whenever you hear them.”

The email, and the AttackWatch signup page, contain the obligatory pitches to donate $5 or more, and it’s once again unclear how much of this crowd-sourcing feature is real, and how much is just letting people feel involved. If there’s a guy at OFA whose job it is to sift through these submissions, his is officially the worst job in the world. Let’s not even think about what kinds of attachments that poor guy is going to have to look at.

For those liberals who spent the 2008 campaign, and much of this presidency, wishing President Obama would go all Road House on opponents, the site is a good sign. Gone are the cheery red, white, and blue graphics and dignified fonts, replaced by stark red and white letters on a black background, and grainy film noir photos of AttackWatch suspects like Gov. Rick Perry, Mitt Romney, and Glenn Beck. It’s hard to tell whether the object is to win an election, or to hunt down Keyser Soze.

The site also features an “Attack Files” section that aggregates pushback research against attacks, like “President Obama is a friend to Israel, despite unfounded claims to the contrary.”

If this campaign is anything like 2008, that page is going to get mighty full, as then-Senator Obama’s opponents reached all the way back to his kindergarten class for oppo grist. Maybe this time around, they’ll circulate a sonogram featuring an in utero turban.

Here’s the full text of OFA’s “AttackWatch” email:

Expose the attacks

Friend –

If you’re someone who cares about seeing a campaign focused on substance between now and November 2012, I need you to become a part of one of our most important teams.

It’s called AttackWatch.com, and it launches today.

Here’s the deal: We all remember the birth certificate smear, the GOP’s barrage of lies about the Affordable Care Act, and the string of other phony attacks on President Obama that we’ve seen over the past few years.

There are a lot of folks on the other side who are chomping at the bit to distort the President’s record. It’s not a question of if the next big lie will come, just when — and what we’re prepared to do about it.

AttackWatch.com is exactly what it sounds like: a resource that allows us to nip these attacks in the bud before they show up on the airwaves and in emails — and then fight back with the truth.

By signing up, you’ll be on the front lines — you’ll hear about false claims as soon as they come up, and we’ll count on you to spread the truth to your friends and personal networks and let us know about new smears whenever you hear them.

Will you sign up now to be a part of AttackWatch.com?

Yes, I want to be on the team that fights back.

Not right now, but I’ll donate $5 to fund the 2012 campaign and support this work.

I remember the smears from 2008 well, and I’m sure you do, too.

They didn’t just attack Barack Obama and Joe Biden. They went after everything this movement is built on, and everyone who supports it.

This time, they’re not just out to personally attack the President — they’re also out to mislead Americans about the record of accomplishments that he’s compiled. Just the other day, a Republican financier actually quoted Saddam Hussein in telling a group of millionaire donors that defeating President Obama will be “the mother of all wars.”

We’re launching AttackWatch.com today to make sure we’re ready for the attacks we know are coming — and armed with the ability to fight back quickly.

Sign up for AttackWatch.com now, and let’s get the facts out:

Messina

    As usual, Tommy thinks this is a neat idea, collecting information on Americans under the guise of “fighting the lies, smears, and attacks.”  As I say all the time here on this site, Tommy is a paid employee of the Obama Administration.  He has an office in the communications shop in the OEOB.  

    I bet if George W. Bush were collecting information on Americans by using this same sort of “AttachWatch” site, Tommy would be foaming up his own shame.  

    Tommy, go back to your desk in the Eisenhower Executive Office Building and write another puff piece about Barry.

    Achtung! The NEW POLITICAL ORDER IS HERE!

    Anyone who criticizes TheOne, our beloved Messiah, OR ANY OF HIS ACTIONS, DECREES, POLICIES OR PALS will be condemned. They will be ostracized from society, they will be labeled a threat to national security, they will be attacked and smeared using MILLIONS from lunatic-left extremist soros, they will be called “unpatriotic”, “un-American”, “a terrorist”,”destructive” and “a racist”, they will have to actually pay taxes (unlike lunatic-left socialist tax-cheats rangel, geithner, caroline “you know” kennedy, olbermann, kerry, mccaskill, daschle, holder, killifer, buffett, solis, kirk, sebelius and millions of others) and they will be vilified until they succumb to the ONLY ACCEPTABLE POLITICAL VIEW – that of the lunatic-left socialists.

    In 2008 and 2009, this was a good idea. Not amateur at all. Obama’s campaign artfully used the new media to raise money and get elected as well as to economically fight back at the typical smear tactics that poison today’s political process. 

    Now — and I say this as an Obama supporter of a sort — I find this to be an incredibly misguided political move. This is the wrong time to be looking inward, the wrong time to be on the defensive, and the wrong time to air “frustration” with the other side. 

     Repub supporters, I know at this point you’re gearing up to give me hell for anything that sounds remotely supportive of Obama, but hear this out. Because I’m simply talking here about political technique in general, not the man himself.

    During his election campaign, Obama ran very well. Even opponents would give him that (and they had to, they lost to the guy). But now? I’ll admit, he’s blowing it. He really is. The day they put down their “Yes we can” signs, strategically speaking, was a big mistake. Now they can never pick them up again. So they’re left to run on what? Finger-pointing? Not much of a strategy. 

    If Obama really wanted to reach his supporters (not you guys, but his base and the fringe), he would be out there saying, “We came into us saying ‘yes we can’… and here we are and you want to know if ‘yes we did.’ Let me give you the rundown. And then GIVE the record and GIVE the proof. A lot. If he did that, he would of course have those that detract, but the rest will be reminded. He’s completely failing on the reminding. And then go ahead and explain what’s left to do… and what the obstacles are… plus, most importantly, how you (Obama) will overcome them if given the opportunity. We don’t WANT to hear what the Republicans aren’t letting you do. We want to hear what you’ve done, what you’re doing, and what you’re going to do.

    As for what to talk about, okay, FINALLY… jobs. But this should have been the conversation from DAY ONE. Not healthcare. Not the wars. Not even how you’re wiling to reach across the aisle. Just… jobs. Not hitting that straightaway was a big fat blunder. Even if those other things also needed immediate tending.

    This is an example of why US History education needs to continue past the 1960s in American classrooms! The KKK was supported by the Southern Democrats until the Civil Rights Movement of the 1960s. The Civil Rights Movement was predominantly supported by Northern Democrats who BTW also supported President Lincoln during the Civil War.

    “The passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964,
    which was widely opposed by white Southerners, was the event that
    finally moved the majority of Southerners to the Republican Party on a
    national level. From the end of the Civil War to 1960 Democrats had
    solid control over the southern states in presidential elections, hence
    the term ‘Solid South’
    to describe the states’ Democratic preference. After the passage of
    this act however their support on a presidential level shifted to the
    Republicans. Republican candidate Barry Goldwater won many of the ‘Solid South’ states over Democratic candidate Lyndon Johnson in 1964, and this Republican support for those states continues to this
    day. It was also bolstered in the next two elections by the ‘Southern Strategy’ of Richard Nixon.”

    And while the KKK advocated extremist reactionary beliefs such as white supremacy, white nationalism, and anti-immigration, those were the beliefs shared by the Southern Democrats who primarily ran the party for most of it’s existence until the 1960s when the tide turned in favor of the Northern Democrats (whose beliefs now run the show primarily). And as you can see many Southern Democrats are either now officially Republicans or they now often support Republican candidates.

    Sorry your statement is wrong and facts show different! Infact Yale University says your wrong!  the record shows that since 1933 Republicans had a more positive record on civil rights than the Democrats.In the 26 major civil rights votes after 1933, a majority of Democrats opposed civil rights legislation in over 80 percent of the votes. By contrast, the Republican majority favored civil rights in over 96 percent of the votes.Please read belowhttp://www.yale.edu/ynhti/curriculum/units/1982/3/82.03.04.x.html.

    Most of the Dixiecrats did not become Republicans. They created the Dixiecrats and then, when the civil rights movement succeeded, they returned to the Democratic fold. It was not till much later, with a new, younger breed of Southerner and the thousands of Northerners moving into the South, that Republicans began to make gains.

    Obama is becoming the biggest joke in the White House since Jimmy Carter was attacked in his canoe by a swimming white rabbit. The Dems cheated to win an upstate seat early this year by putting in a fake “Tea Party” ringer who got 9% of the vote that the GOP candidate would have received. But the Demonrats couldn’t cheat enough to keep Weiner’s seat, a Demon seat for ninety-plus years. Wasserman-Schmuck says it was a “difficult” seat. Waxman says “rich Jews” voted GOP. When are the Demons going to stop their lies?   I can’t wait for the silly dude in the WH right now to go back and have his memoires ghosted in 2013. Obama = Loser.

    Let’s admit it, Obama has failed miserably in all areas of policy, from foreign policy to domestic. He represents an experiment that has gone bad.

    Please read a book. Hitler and the National Socialist Party (Nazis) believed in ‘socialism’ like China is a “Republic” and North Korea is a “Democratic Republic”. The Nazi’s were Far Right Wing Fascists. Proof? The Alllied themselves with Fascist Italy and Far Right-wing Imperial Japan and fought AGAINST “left-wing” Socialist Russia.

    The first thing Hitler did was get rid of the trade unionist (unions), the gays, blamed minorities for the country’s problems, restricted women’s rights, hated communism and then KILLED all the left-wing members of the Nazi party who were Anti-capitalists (Night of the Long Knives)… Now who does that sound like? Do these ACTIONS sound right-wing or left-wing?

    BTW, the people who supported and financed the KKK were White Southern ‘Christian’ Social Conservatives who ALL now vote for REPUBLICANS.
