My faves so far:

#attackwatch I want to report a guy who farted in the elevator but refused to blame it on Bush.

Dear #attackwatch I;d like to report that Obamas approval ratings are so low that Kenyans now say he was born in USA

How is it stifling free speech to make the campaign aware of public criticisms of Obama?

This is not a "report your neighbor" feature, it's to bring to attention public smears or mis-characterizations of Obama so that they can be countered. And countered with laying out the facts (or spin, however you wish to consider it), not with force.

It makes people think twice before openly criticizing Obama and his policies.
Who knows what it means to be reported to that website? The Gibson Guitar raid comes to mind.
