Joe Newbury's article:

Be careful what you say at the dinner table - someone just might report you to Barack Obama.

The Obama campaign has decided it must deal with any and all criticism aimed at the President.

To accomplish this, the campaign has set up a web site, attackwatch.com, to monitor “inaccuracies… falsehoods… gossip…“ and ”smears” against the President.

The site includes a new Twitter hashtag, #attackwatch, and an account - @Attackwatch - to make it easier for the President's followers to report attacks and discuss them as they happen.

The move is reminiscent of the "internet snitch brigade" set up to counter and silence criticism of Obamacare.

At the time of this writing, three "attacks" were prominently displayed on the site, including Rick Perry's alleged "massive job lie," Mitt Romney's 'job chart' the site claims "shows flawed understanding of the facts," and a claim that Glenn Beck "twists the facts on Israel."
