Attack Watch: More Fun Than A Barrel of Monkeys

RSS Feed — Thu, 15 Sep 2011 20:14:44 +0000

I had another article just about ready to be posted today, but I decided to delay it so that I can briefly address the Attack Watch controversy. In case you are unfamiliar with this site, it was launched by the President and his campaign team to “fight smears.” Much like his two earlier tattle-tale websites, Flag.gov and Fight the Smears.com, AttackWatch.com asks supporters to report any web sites, blogs, tweets, emails, or any other form of communication that is “smearing” the President. At first, I too was outraged over this blatant attempt to intimidate political opponents. For one thing, if George W. 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

Let the Fear Mongering Begin!

POTTSTOWN, PA – Similar to its highly biased fear mongering of the proposed centers concept for the Pottstown School District six years ago (anyone remember the phrase “mega campus”?), The Mercury is at it again. This time, the topic of fear is Rupert Elementary School and its future serving the students of Pottstown, based on the very preliminary discussions which occurred during Monday’s President’s Task Force meeting.
