Bush or any other non-liberal asked people to report their fellow citizens, the left would be filing lawsuits and shouting “Nazi” before the site ever got off the ground.  Secondly, there is no point in making a big show of reporting attacks other than to bully people into being quiet.  The President already has an entire staff of people to address “smears” in the media.  You aren’t going to tell him anything he doesn’t already know! The only reason for launching a site like this is to make everyday people a little more hesitant about sending an email or posting a blog for fear that their name is going to go on some government watch list.  Thirdly, Attack Watch makes Barack Obama look like the world’s biggest cry-baby.  You would think that someone who paraded himself in front of a joint session of congress last week in one of the most vulgar displays of vanity ever executed by the office of President, all so he could condescendingly wag his finger at captive Republican lawmakers in full view of the press, would be able to take a little criticism.  Guess not
