TNGOP anti-Semite Obama hit

Submitted by R. Neal on Wed, 02/27/2008 - 14:49.

This is pretty low, even for Bill Hobbs:

The state GOP on Monday issued a press release under the headline "Anti-Semites for Obama" that begins:

"The Tennessee Republican Party today joins a growing chorus of Americans concerned about the future of the nation of Israel, the only stable democracy in the Middle East, if Sen. Barack Hussein Obama is elected president of the United States."

The release cites Obama's support from Nation of Islam Minister Louis Farrakhan and other controversial figures.

So when will the TNGOP denounce and reject support from white supremacist groups and abortion clinic bombers?

UPDATE: The Donkey's Mouth has more.

UPDATE: Where do they get this stuff?

UPDATE: Sen. John McCain denounces the TNGOP press release.

UPDATE: Sen. Lamar Alexander demands the press release be taken down.

UPDATE: Even KARL ROVE tried to warn them.

UPDATE: The Politico reports that the RNC Threatens TN GOP

UPDATE: Some Tennessee liberal bloggers react:

• Archcrone: The Bigotry of the TNGOP

• Joe Powell: TN GOP Spokesman Bill Hobbs Implodes

• Newscoma: Dear TN GOP Party (and you, Bill Hobbs)

• Progressive Nashville: Sleezy politics by TNGOP

• Russ McBee: A note to Bill Hobbs

And now it's the headline

And now it's the headline story on TPM.

GOP Leadership

Will Lamar Alexander, Ron Ramsey, and Jason Mumpower denounce these bigoted tactics like McCain did? That's what I want to know.

Tote it up

So far, Obama is a Muslim, an anti-Semite, a communist, a socialist, a foreigner, hates the U.S., and what else? I'm sure we haven't seen the last desperate, scurrilous attack.

Our answer needs to be the same in every case: The people spreading these lies are paid Republican bullshitters, and you can never believe a single word they say.

Liberty and justice for all.

Don't Hussein me, dude

This is just the kind of thing that CBT warned us not to do. Oh wait. They're doing it. Just like they did last election and every election.

Didnt Hobbs learn that

Didn't Hobbs learn that putting things on the 'internets' can work against him? (Link to Hobbs clever picture he drew during the cartoon controversy and the story/fallout that occurred)

Hobbs and his whole cadre of fools at the state GOP are dumb asses. They keep using the term "anti-Semite." Maybe they need to get a dictionary, since Arabs are Semites too. The Ku Klux Klan is anti-Semitic. The Nazis were anti-Semitic.

Calling a Muslim an anti-Semite just shows a tremendous level of ignorance.

So all Muslims are Arab?

So all Muslims are Arab?
