Obama Smear Site Vanishes From Web
A website aimed at combating so-called Internet "smears" about President Obama has disappeared from the Internet – including an alleged
certification of live birth posted during his campaign – and archives for the website have been thoroughly scrubbed.
A Google cache
of the website still shows many of the "smear" topics the website addresses, but content for each posting is no longer available. The snapshot
of the page from July 2, 2009, lists the following topics:
* Obama's campaign was funded by foreigners
* Obama sought endorsement from the New Party
* Obama has connections to Bill Ayers
* Jerome Corsi's research on Obama and Kenya's Raila Odinga
* Obama's relationship with Fannie Mae executives
* Obama's affiliation with ACORN
* NRA research on Obama's record on guns
* "Born alive" accusations concerning Obama's pro-abortion stance
* Jerome Corsi's research on Obama in "new hit book"
* Obama is a Muslim
* Obama has not shown a long-form birth certificate and may not have been born in America
Obama launched his "Fight the Smears" website in June 2008 to stop "ideologues" from "spreading a 'pack of lies' about Barack."
Tommy Vietor, spokesman for the Obama campaign, told the New York Times at the time of launch that the campaign sought to confront "lies" and
"false rumors" with the "Fight the Smears" website.
"Whenever challenged with these lies we will aggressively push back with the truth and help our supporters debunk the false rumors floating around
the Internet," he said.

So I guess fighting the "smears' has proven to be a daunting task for Obama.
Is Obama throwing in the towel now to avoid an avalance later?
It's obvious he is a pacifist so it's kinda surprising he even chose to launch a website that includes the word "fight".
How can the internet President decide to ditch such an important web site so soon?
Especially a web site that was meant to defend him from attacks.
He has decided to no longer "fight" and "defend" himself from any "attacks".
Is this what he plans on doing with our country as well? Time will certainly tell.
It may be time to start saving the cached pages before they disappear from the web forever.
