The GOP has launched a mock-Facebook site called BarackBook, complete with faux-profile pages for Obama's controversial associates (William Ayres and Tony Rezko make the list — though curiously there's no Jeremiah Wright page....yet). There are also links to donate to the Republican National Committee and an opportunity to create a "myGOP" account.
BarackBook is also available as an application on the real Facebook. Suffice it to say, so far it has not been a big hit. Discussion threads as of 1:15 pm included "We should blow this site up"; "Leaders lead, this just sucks"; and the pithy "This site is lame"...along with a few more topic titles that aren't appropriate for a family blog.
But perhaps the best evidence that the site isn't attracting the crowd the GOP might have hoped for? The targeted ad on the Facebook discussion page: free Obama bumper stickers, courtesy of moveon.org.
