Tennessee Democratic Party Official Sticks Foot In Mouth About Obama

[slinkerwink]

The Nashville City Paper reported on why it was taking Lincoln Davis so long to endorse Senator Obama, and reached Fred Hobbs, this official within the Tennessee Democratic Party for comment:

"Maybe the same reason I don’t want to — I don’t exactly approve of a lot of the things he stands for and I’m not sure we know enough about him," Hobbs said when asked why he thought Davis wasn’t endorsing Obama. "He’s got some bad connections, and he may be terrorist connected for all I can tell. It sounds kind of like he may be."

:wtf:

Fred Hobb's e-mail address is below:

And the phone number of the Rutherford County Democratic Party, where he works as a state party official, is [phone].

It's time to enforce some party discipline, DUers! :kick:

Oh, and Beecher Frasier, Lincon Davis's chief of staff, also stuck his foot in his mouth in the same article:

His chief of staff, Beecher Frasier, said he doesn’t know for sure if Obama is “terrorist connected” but he assumes he’s not.

Beecher's e-mail is [e-mail]

One word to Beecher: You're supposed to slap that down and say NO when asked a question like that!

UPDATE: Apparently, Hobbs has sent out a retraction, which will appear shortly on the Nashville City Paper web site.
