Say hello to Bill Hobbs

That video last month "welcoming" Michelle Obama to Tennessee that got her husband so angry he went on national TV to warn Republicans to lay off his wife? Hobbs.

That February press release with the repeated references to "Barack Hussein Obama" and the picture of the Democratic presidential candidate dressed in a turban and tribal dress? Hobbs.

Certain people really ought to just slink away.

2. Who fed it to Hobbs? Unlikely he plucked it out of the family album. nt

[NashVegas]

3. Sad

That some people still find it necessary to paint Hillary Clinton as an evildoing racist to prop their candidate.

[Vinca]

5. Who's doing that? I just asked who gave it to Hobbs.

Someone must have - it didn't materialize out of thin air.

[rodeodance]

10. THIS incident was one of many where many Obama fans painted Hillary as racist.

[rodeodance]

4. that photo had been flying around the Internet prior to Obama accusing Hillary camp

of circulating it.and this fact had been posted for your Obama supporters

many times. But you chose to believe the worst of Hillary!!

[JoFerret]

7. I think this kind of behavior

is a pattern with many campaigns. Bush-Rove made it a specialty. I am sure they are (now) not alone.
Someone on DU last week had a list of Obama moves like that.

[rodeodance]

8. i WOULD

LIKE TO SEE THAT LIST. MISSED IT.

[ElsewheresDaughter]

11. you're going to choke to death on your toxic Hillary hatred!

[rodeodance]

15. surprized that....

many have not done so already

[Lerkfish]

19. c'mon, can you just give it a rest? I mean, really.

[ElsewheresDaughter]

22. oh yeah..let's just "get over it" like we did Gore

[Lerkfish]

50. I'm speaking of the term "toxic hillary-hatred". perpetual self-victimhood is tiring to watch

[rodeodance]

25. Why?--you all viciouslly SMEARED Hillary for months!! It never ended!!

[Lerkfish]

48. I'm an individual

as are you. We individually make our decisions on how we behave.

perpetual self-victimhood seems to be yours.

[rodeodance]

51. The OP incident led to the severe reprouch of all Hillary supporters and you

know that.


It was constant piling on of this false information week after week!!


We are not victims. But I and others will now correct the lie.

[Lerkfish]

53. then stop acting like victims....mkay?

thanks.

[rodeodance]

55. 'victims' are silent while lies are spread about them. Hillary fans are NOT victims and will

will not let this lie be perpetuated.

[Lerkfish]

57. so I'll take that as a "no" you will not stop acting like victims.

btw: I'm not referring to the OP, but to the "toxic hillaryhaters" meme, in case you're confused (and you seem to be)

[rodeodance]

59. in case you are confused that was not my comment.

[Lerkfish]

61. I was responding to YOUR response. you are confused.

but that's per normal

[rodeodance]

62. then you have a reading comprehension problem -as i said it is NOT mine. You are boring

me.

bye bye

[Lerkfish]

67. I understood that. you did not understand me, however.

if by "bye bye" that means I'm on ignore now, that's okeydokey with me.

the screen name of a DU member is against DU rules---and you engaging in immature name-calling.



" So, rodeodrudge gets all bent out of shape about something you commented..."

[Vinca]

34. I assume you're referring to me, although

there are lots of "Ignoreds" to my last response. Hillary hatred has absolutely nothing to do with what I asked. I would like to know who gave Hobbs the photo. That's all. It could have come from Rove, it could have come from Clinton. The photo was reportedly leaked to Drudge, initially, by someone feeding him stuff from the Clinton campaign. By the way, I don't hate Hillary. I dislike her, to be sure, but that evolved over this primary. I used to be a fan of hers.

[Marrah_G]

47. The photo came from a tabloid article

The RW wants you to think Hillary is a Racist and Obama is a Muslim and every other stupid thing we have all been falling for. The voters took the bait, the campaigns took the bait and the GOP may just LOL it's way right into the WH.

[rodeodance]

6. REC

[Marrah_G]

9. And they fell for it over and over.

I've watched this entire primary unfold and have to sit back and laugh. If I don't, then I will cry.

The GOP has been playing our party big time and we have wiling played along.

Dividing the party is there only shot at winning and they have accomplished that.

Even this post will be met with " its her fault/ it's his fault" still shooting ourselves, still doing exactly what they want.

[rodeodance]

12. many Obama fans got duped by Obama himself and now are curiously silent**

[NashVegas]

23. They Still Do

Some of the responses here indicate just how badly some people want, need, to hate Hillary Clinton.

At the Cleveland debate on national television.

"SEN. OBAMA: Well, first of all, I take Senator Clinton at her word that she knew nothing about the photo. So I think that's something that we can set aside."

“When in the midst of a campaign you decide to throw the kitchen sink at your opponent because you’re behind,” he said, “and your campaign starts leaking photographs of me when I’m traveling overseas wearing the native clothes of those folks to make people afraid"

Which is it, Barack?

[Cass]

17. Thanks for this, Crisco.

Happy to give you your 5th rec.

[berni_mccoy]

26. You've been Used. See response #25 below.

[rodeodance]

36. MORE SPAM

[beachmom]

18. From the pusher of the smear against Obama's great uncle, you have no leg to stand on

judging others.

[NashVegas]

20. Wow, Way to Dispute a FACT This GOP Player Cops To

While pushing your own misrepresentation of another.

[rodeodance]

28. No Obama fan said Sorry ---they just ignore or change the subject

[berni_mccoy]

21. By the same standards, this blog post offers no evidence of who

circulated the email. Hobbs does not admit to it and this blogger you linked to offers no evidence. When Clinton staffers came out and admitted sending the email (and then fired) you can not accuse Obama supporers for falling for this. If anyone is naive, it is you who are falling for an attack meant to anger Clinton supporters and keep us divided. Now that would be something Hobbs is good at.

[NashVegas]

31. What You Call a Blog Is the #2 Story in the Gov / Politics Section of a Metropolitan Daily

What you call a "blogger" is a salaried newspaper staff writer.

Why the need to downplay and dismiss?

"It was a very interesting time," said Hobbs, who was pilloried by the news media and by national representatives of his own party — including McCain — for his "Husseining" of Obama. "We got a lot of attention. Some of that attention was good, and some wasn't. The story morphed in a way that drew attention to the press release, not the issues we were trying to raise."

The guy is the GOP's Tennessee spokesperson. And you want to call him a blogger?

Why the need to downplay and dismiss?

39. kick & rec!

[Hola]

42. GOP scum

Obviously this was the GOP. Why would Clinton do it, stuff like this doesn't resonate with the Dem electorate.

It's the same when the Cons published that story about the Madrassa and then said it was leaked by the Clinton campaign. That was BS too, and so is this.

[MethuenProgressive]

92. I recomment this Hola post!

:yourock:

[npincus]

44. it doesn't say he was the one who forwarded to Drudge

He may have issued a press release, but a Clinton staffer is allegedly the one who sent it to Drudge with a note.

[rodeodance]

49. That claim came from Drudge and he NEVER produced any evidence to

verify his story. NEVER (yet obama believed him).

And that photo was circulating on the net PRIOR to the drudge story!!

And it was published in NAT Inquirer prior to that story (or one those talbloids). All this infor has been posted on DU again and again.

[MethuenProgressive]

52. BO backers are saying Drudge -the guy who broke the Monica story- is pro-Clinton now??

:rofl:

[berni_mccoy]

80. Bill Clinton went on Rush. Hillary's old palsies now with Scaiffe. And Hillbots profess Fox as Fair

and balanced.

[MethuenProgressive]

88. BO went on FOX. BO's pals with Rezko, Wright, and McClurkin. BO followers love Novak and Drudge.

And the OP is still not what you claim.

[berni_mccoy]

89. Crying and whining won't change the fact that Hillary is working with RW media.

74. See OP. The GOP goon is behind the 'muslim' emails that many BO supporters posted to DU.

[berni_mccoy]

75. I read it. It says nothing of the sort. It says he made a press release.

[MethuenProgressive]

77. "It says nothing of the sort."? You know "OP" is DU slang for that post way up there on top?

The one that says the GOP is behind it.

[40ozDonkey]

103. Have you apologized yet for blaming an O supporter for asking Chelsea rude questions?

Even when you found out that day, from replies in your OP from local media interviews that the person who asked that stupid question was a Clinton supporter, you refused to believe it. You called him an Obama plant.

So it's funny that you have righteous indignation in this thread.

[berni_mccoy]

87. So, you are blaming the GOP for something the HRC Staffers did? GENIUS (in a LIV sort of way)

[rodeodance]

94. you have a reading comprehension problem. READ the OP--all of the article

70. HEADLINE: "Clinton Campaign Admits To Sending E-Mail Claiming Obama Is Muslim"

There are like, words and stuff, under the big words on top, berni.

[berni_mccoy]

76. As Far As You Know. There are many many more articles covering Clinton's labeling Obama as a Muslim
