Attack of the AttackWatch!

Jonah, re the president urging his supporters to report dissenters to ThinSkinWatch.com, I was flattered to discover via  a reader that I am the only sinister foreigner to be honored with my own page of Presidential smears at TouchyAndInsecure.com. You can find it here — http://www.attackwatch.com/tag/mark-steyn/ .

Imagine my disappointment, however, at finding my catalogue of hate crimes entirely blank.

C’mon, you TouchyWatch watchers. You’ve been in business for a good 48 hours. I’ve surely smeared the president at least a couple of times since then. And I believe that, if I manage three smears in one day, Uncle Onyango’s deportation order gets transferred to me.

Mark: I have submitted the photo's you took of the Bamster wearing a pink and blue tutu while smoking his cig's on the back porch of the WH! Don't know if they will approve that submission though?

Mark, you've made the latest "Enemy's List" ( and Nixon didn't invent the concept)! All honours to you!

There is now an entry about your immigration "smears". This is so surreal, it's almost as if I fell asleep and woke up in the country of my birth, USSR circa 1976...

True, but it's just a heading. Give them more time. They're working as hard as they can.

I checked the link. It's true, Steyn will not get a book quote out of this, but give it time. Until then, I'm fairly confident John J. Miller is trying to write himself up regarding The Big Scrum, which I'm told is filled with something, if not exactly O-hate.

The Bottom Line? For a small fee (I almost wrote "feel"), I will gladly report any writer to the site who wishes for additional publicity. Just let me know the general thrust of what you want and I will handle the rest. Trust me. I'm here to help.

Steyn --

You should simply report yourself. CC them on everything you write. Wouldn't it be great if anytime anyone goes to the page to report you, and they find you've already reported yourself. Imagine thier frustration!

Dear AttackWatch,

I never thought this could happen to me, but...

Mark, I'm curious if anyone can land on the AttackWatch website. I smear the president on a daily basis, I wouldn't, because it's getting to be a waste of my time, but he gives so much content that you get behind if you don't. Do I need to be part of a media union to get on the site or can any of my liberal friends report me? I feel like Joe Biden and Hillary Clinton should be reported for their pre-election comments. I'll get on that.

Is it just me, or does the whole color schema of the Attack Watch website scream "Soviet hammer & sickle flag"? As with many things that Obama gets away with, can you imagine if a Republican candidate tried this?

Absolutely. And check out Mark's picture, all colorized in red, like it's a horror movie poster.

For not the first time in my adult life, I am deeply ashamed of my President.

I was thinking more along the lines of the Nuremberg Rallies. Scary.

I'm confused. Isn't even thinking about smearing Big Brother a crime?

Should I have my children report me for extra credit?

I still say David Axelrod looks like the looming Big Brother in the (Richard Burton & John Hurt) movie '1984'

Oh, come on, if Adam Serwer says you're wrong, you're wrong. I'm as sure of that as I am unsure of who Adam Serwer is.

Does MADD know that Uncle Onyango has been sent on his merry way because he is not a safety threat?

Since it appears that anyone can "report an attack", how about we all use that forum to report Democrat or leftist attacks on conservatives?

It ain't blank now, Mark. I don't know how you could be so cavalier about this, especially considering your trial in Canada. Surprised there's not an entry for Winston Smith.

Does my neighbor's removal of his 2008 BO Hope bumper sticker count as an Attack? I'm reporting it anyway.

It involved Goo-Gone, didn't it?
