Check out the TN GOP. Shameless! I don’t know why I continue to be surprised by the lows those yahoos will sink to, but I am aghast at every turn. Even all these years later.
You stay classy, Hobbs.
OTHERS:
- “I used to think a little better of Hobbs than this… I guess being a party apparatchnik has changed him some.”
- “I really believe it is time to take the Repub party back from the 10 year olds that hijacked it.”
- “Bill Hobbs, you can keep talking all you want about how Jews should vote for the Republicans because they’re “better on Israel” (even though what they are is better on the Likud vision for Israel, not Israel as a whole), but I’ll vote for Obama because he’s better on ALL issues of importance to Jews. He proved that with his answer on the civil rights movement.”
- “I don’t think this will play well with a lot of Republicans either. When even Karl Rove is concerned about the reputation of the party, you know its a problem.”
- “Whoever is responsible for this should be fired. Publicly and immediately. Period.”
- “Courtesy of the Tennessee Republican Party, long-time friends of religious tolerance.”

Brittney, your lack of understanding is one of the reasons I’m always so shocked you last as long as you do in the mainstream liberal media… oh, wait, I’m not shocked at all. You’re probably up every night dreaming of his big, black platform
Oh my Allah.
I don’t feel surprise so much as despair and disgust.
There’s only one reason why the GOP would beat this meme to death. There’s really no ‘no-no’ on saying what Barack Obama’s middle name is, but using it so much, driving it into the ground is a clear signal that you are trying to paint Obama as un-American and un-patriotic without having the courage to say that straight out.
Like I said, I feel despair more than anything else. That the GOP is willing to do it generates the disgust, and the despair comes from the fact that so many people see it for what it is, don’t care, and identify as conservatives and GOP anyway.
There’s nothing they can do that they are not ashamed of. And there is so much that they should be ashamed of.
[…] Everyone has been all over this. See Mack, NiT, Tiny Pasture, and Brittney. […]
Is there anyone on the fence who would be swayed by this? Anyone who would hear this and think “wow, I’ve been lied to by Obama all this time”? Anyone at all? This really feels like a bunch of people laughing at an inside joke and telling themselves how smart they are while no one outside the group cares. The Tennessee Republican party has devolved into two guys sitting in the corner looking at Star Trek trading cards because they think they’re too superior to ask a pretty girl to dance. High five each other, fellas, but try not to hurt your jerkin’ hand.
