« Tim Russert Dead at 58 | Main | Government Waste Preview » June 14, 2008Fred Hobbs* Doubles DownStory headline in the Saturday Tennessean: Tenn. Democrat believes Obama has terrorist ties. Note the present tense. And it's not just any Democrat - it's a leader of the Tennessee Democrat Party. That's right - despite calls that he be ousted from the Tennessee Democrat Party's State Executive Committee and despite condemnations from such Democrat leaders as current U.S. Rep. Bart Gordon and former TDP Chairman Bob Tuke, Fred Hobbs* isn't backing down. He insists there is reason to believe that Obama has "associates" who "might have" ties to terrorism, although, he says, "I certainly don't think he's a terrorist." Well, that's a relief. The video is from Fox News and reports, briefly, on the smearing of Obama by Fred Hobbs* and Beecher Frasier, chief of staff to U.S. Rep. Lincoln Davis, a Democrat superdelegate who has refused so far to endorse Obama for president. * No relation to me whatsoever. Posted in Campaign Season

It is pure ignorance or stupidity, that Hobbs, would make such a statement about Sen. Obama. I am/was a Sen. Clinton backer. She did not win, so I now back Obama. Never would I make a statement that disgusting. TN. is a great state, however,receiving negative press like this confirms what some people think about TN, that we are bigots, racists, backwards, etc. This "Hobbs", does not represent TN. I don't know who he represents, except himself. And now that the GOP is running with this moronic statement, they're throwing themselves into the same garbage pit!! This man Hobbs, needs to be dropped immediately from any and all posts within the Dem. party. And hopefully, move somewhere else besides TN. Posted by: Ric at June 14, 2008 10:54 AMIn this day and age, any Democrat watching and quoting Fox news is not very informed at all and should not be representing anyone. Do you think by now that he has been properly briefed or do we have another Joe Lieberman here? Posted by: Dean Johnson at June 16, 2008 8:02 PM**Breaking** Fred Hobbs Apologizes
I was not as well prepared as I should have been when speaking with reporters, and I should have taken more time to research Senator Obama's positions. My 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. My statement that Senator Obama "may be terrorist-connected" was incorrect, and I apologize for making it. As a lifelong Democrat, I believe in the values and ideals of the Democratic Party. I am honored to represent the 13th Senatorial District, and I look forward to working with Senator Obama, each of you, and every Democrat in the 13th District to elect Democrats this November. Posted by: Sam Hobbs at June 17, 2008 1:26 PMUNBELEVEABLE! Where does the Democratic Party find these people who are representing us? Fred Hobbs is an embarassment to all of us that call ourselves Democrats. SHAME ON YOU MR. FRED HOBBS! Posted by: FRED at June 19, 2008 3:25 AMPost a comment
