We all remember Fred Hobbs, the proud member of Tennessee’s Democratic Executive Committee who recently confessed that he thought Barack Obama was “terrorist-connected.” He has been apologizing all week, and in a letter to colleagues he explained what was running through his mind: his comments “did reflect questions I had after what I had seen reported on Fox News, but I should have taken some time to check the accuracy of what I saw on television before speaking publicly.” Fred added that he also doesn’t know how to drink water or walk without falling sideways, or whatever it is the human beings are doing these days.

SMEARS
It sounds like Barry’s given him an offer he couldn’t refuse.
Noooooo! Mr. Hobbs, I implore you to find the courage to stand firm on this issue. Don’t let the that tape of Senator Osama holding a machete over your wife and children stop you from telling the truth.
Don’t blame it on the sunshine,
don’t blame it on the moonlight,
don’t blame it on the good times,
blame it on the Fox News-ee?

Best. Comment. Ever.
BWAH!
A Tennessean who thinks Obama is a terrorist? What color is the sky again?
…anyone who claims to be a Democrat and actually uses “Faux” news as viable source of knowledge should be excommunicated from the party! Shit for brains!!!
That’s awesome! We’ve driven them into blaming Fox News!!!
I am very concerned that Fred Hobbs is idiot-connected.
What you telling me that fox news makes shit up?
RacerMex: “FAIR AND BALANCED” mothafuckas.
I looked up “Ass Weasel” in my dictionary and there was a picture of Fred Hobbs’ head sticking out of his ass next to the entry.
In answer to a question about whether he will endorse Sen. Obama, Rep. Davis said, “I’m not endorsing (Republican candidate) John McCain.”
Paultard?
I hope this starts a trend of racist idiots blaming everything on Fox News.
“…after what I had seen reported on Fox News, but I should have taken some time to check the accuracy of what I saw on television before speaking publicly.””
Why in the world would anyone have to fact check Fox News?
Can’t we all gather around , Democrat and Republican, White , Black, Hispanic, and “Other”, Jew and Gentile, Straight and Gay, and finally admit that with a name like “Hussein” and Obama (eerily close to Osama) this candidate must surely be the head of an al quaeda sleeper cell.
Now on to the Kumbaya singing
What the hell is going on in the comments section of that article? It looks like username “ronaldo” is having some kind of lunatic argument with himself about his own inability to call Barry a terrorist.
All ‘hard working’ Americans have hormonal, judgmental, brain disorders.
iwillsavethispatient: Blame it on the Jews?
Oh noes!1!!! I beleeved teh fox!
I got no nookie last night. I blame Fox news.
I’m glad to see that a member of the Tennessee Democratic Executive Committee is so engaged and well-informed about his party’s candidate in this presidential election year.
Hobbs’ new policy on fact-checking FOX “News” before acting has prompted me to begin checking the veracity of the responses my Magic 8-Ball gives me in response to all the important life questions I pose to it, the most recent of which is: “should I lick this hand rail here in Union Station?”
How many republicans does it take to make up a decent human being??
What’s with all the Fox bashing? Don’t you guys know there’s a vast liberal media conspiracy? Fox is the only REAL news source. Michelle Malkin told me so.
There is a Democratic Party in Tennessee? Are they the same ones the ceded the election of Harold Ford when a white women smilingly referenced him in a television ad?
Maybe somebody from the Obama campaign should tell the TN Dems about FightTheSmears.com. You know that website set up to combat all the shit put out by the TN GOP down the street…
Oh, crap — if we can’t believe the mainstream media because Fox News swears they’re just a pack of liars, and if we can’t believe Fox News either — who the hell are we to trust? I mean, that just leaves Sean Assity as the only trustworthy person in the media.
AxmxZ: As Jon Stewart points out in his book, the idea that Jews control the entire media is clearly false. About a quarter of it is controlled by Australian septuagenarians.
Happy Fun Ball:
There’s a homeless who routinely pees in the alley behind my office building when he’s not busy talking to pigeons or abusing himself. He smells like pickle juice and Mad Dog. I always make sure to ask for his input when I have any questions regarding politics.
i double checked with an email that was forwarded to me anonymously, and the man is not only a terrorist, but he’s also black.
obfuscator: There’s this really unfortunate homeless girl that walks around my neighborhood in Seattle. On Sunday she disrobed on the sidewalk. I could see that she has been shooting into this abscess on her arm and it is turning gangrenous. I may ask the gangrenous abscess if Barry’s a tairist.
KevoTron: And then she was fired.
Is Kevin Bacon terrorist-connected? Aren’t we all?
Actually, it’s a boring game. It always ends up Bush Family - Bin Laden Family - Whoever.
Tennessee is cleary such an awful place that none of this really matters anyway. Joke’s on him!
Is she letting out a nasty keilbasa burp?
That’s what you get for watching Fox News but, then again, he’s from Tennessee. You gotta cut the guy some slack. I think Tennesseans just recently learned that they’re not supposed to have kids with their sisters and they’re still trying to figure out how to digest such a deep behavioral change.
metropolitan: Obama? Black? Don’t believe everything you read on the Internet, my friend.
I think there’s an anticorrelation between the the size of Fox News’ ratings for a given area and the
number of visits from that area to Wonkette. With that in mind, I realize none of them will hear it, but who gives a shit what those pig-fucking, sister-marrying assholes in Tennessee think of Obama anyway. It’s not like the Dems there are
worth a damn in terms of electing a Democratic president……yes, I’m talking to you Gore. Less sitting in your “Green” mansion, and a little more action, like kicking some democratic party ass in that rathole you call your home state.
“I should have taken some time to check the accuracy of what I saw on television before speaking publicly.” = 20 years ago
“I should have taken some time to check the accuracy of what I read on the internet before speaking publicly.” = Today
Therefore, Fred Hobbs = Dummy Dum-Dum Dumbass. Someone take his keys away before he drives up onto the sidewalk and runs over a bunch of innocent people.
Old ShitForBrains here is lucky he didn’t check himself into Gitmo for political reeducation after watching Fox news.
Q2: I tried to look it up, but my dictionary was up Fred Hobb’s ass with his head, where he was trying to look up the definition of ‘terrurist.’
If he uses Fox News as his primary information source, then there is a high probablity that he also believes that Saddam Hussain was behind 9/11.
Cape Clod: You say that as if that’s a joke. It’s fully plausible.
