Obama’s Gibbs Calls Hannity An Anti Semite

Sean antisemitic? Robert Gibbs hoped to make a point and instead sounded like a desperate man. Gibbs went after Sean for an expose he did on Sunday on Obama that featured Connecticut native, Chicago columnist, frequent candidate and more than just a little controversial, Andy Martin.

Not a fan, but the charge by Gibbs was bogus and uncalled for. Don’t answer the charge, defect and attack the journalist. It made Obama sound more guilty. The Republicans have struck a nerve and Gibbs little exchange here is proof.

    What else do they have — their lie that Ayers and Obama children "went to the same school" just oozed its flop-sweat and died the obvious death from folks looking at the difference in the spawns ages. What else do they have — even other Dems are getting out of the way of this story.

    Jim, hate to say this, but Hannity according to conservative blogger Debbie Schlussel HAS TIES supposedly to Hal Turner. Debbie cites the Anti-Defamation league.

    This is a link to the ADL's site from Debbie's own one. And WTIC carries him?!

    @ Bob

    Hannity also has black radicals on his show on a fairly regular basis — does that make him anti-white as well?

    A talk show needs controversy. Whack-jobs provide controversy.

    Jim, You are missing his point which is that the association with someone that you sit on a board with does not make you bed fellows, they may be fellows but sitting a board with them does not make them so. I have sat on boards with people that I do no agree with and do not like. That does not make us deb fellows. Stop concentrating on these trite issues and focus on real issues. How about focusing on how we get OUT of war, and how we fix our economy. All off this crap is a distraction.

    "Stop concentrating on these trite issues and focus on real issues. How about focusing on how we get OUT of war, and how we fix our economy. All off this crap is a distraction."

    Funny how someone's sketchy ties to less-than-desirable individuals is not important to an election (things like this show the TYPE of person we are electing). Let's focus purely on the issues, right? Yeah… we know how presidents do a good job of sticking to what they say while campaigning, Erik.

    What they say and what they do are always two different things — who you have ties to, and how you've acted in the past are far better judges of a president than what they spew at a debate.
