It looks like the RNC got a jump on the Democrats for a change with the launcging of a fake Facebook page attacking Barack Obama.
From ABC News’ Jake Tapper.
The Republican National Committee has launched a fake Facebook page attacking Sen. Barack Obama, D-Illinois, highlighting some of the more controversial “friends” in his “network.”
“Barackbook” includes info on Tony Rezko, former Weather Underground member William Ayers, Marilyn Katz, Nadhmi Auchi, and others.
Copying the format of Facebook, the page includes information along the lines of: “Alexi Giannoulias and Eric Holder have updated their profiles.”
And “Barack Obama is now friends with Antoin ‘Tony’ Rezko.”
If you click on any one of Obama’s “friends” you get a traditional oppo dump, with information (of questionable relevance) such as: “Katz Led Young Protesters Outside The 1968 Democrat Convention Who Clashed With Police Officers During The Demonstrations. (Stephen Franklin, ‘Sides Reunite, But 28 Years Later, Few Lessons Learned,’ Chicago Tribune, 4/16/98).”
Under Obama’s picture today, parodying the “what are you doing” conceit of the real Facebook, it reads: “Barack is hoping to settle on an Iraq policy before November.”
As of this posting there are only seven fans of the “Barackbook” application but that will grow rapidly once the word spreads.

BRILLIANT and HILARIOUS at the same time! How clever!
When he’s president, where will we put those anti-american traitors who hate the new president and thus, by extension, America? Either you live in fly-over America or your vote doesn’t count, which one’s better?

Lionel, I can’t tell if you’re being sarcastic or not
That’s pretty clever. I didn’t see any “fans” on the site, but the list of Obama’s “friends” should certainly include the bigot anti-American Rev. Jeremiah Wright. Once it is completed I’ll pass the link on.
