Hey DU! Ben Labolt thinks you are part of the "tin foil hat crowd"..

[boston bean]

Regarding the hanky/paper/alleged cheat sheet.

When the campaign was asked if they were pushing the story, Ben Labolt, National Press Secretary for OFA, said..

“We’ve never casted our lot with the tinfoil hat crowd.”

Sure it was Fox News who prompted the comment from Labolt, by asking a ridiculous question. But there you go, more bashing from people whose side we are on.

How about just saying, no we did not push the story??

1. If the hat fits...

3. +1

2. Because they need to distance themselves from it. And that was definitely distancing themselves.

Now the R's have 'Birthers', "Truthers' etc - which they embrace.

It's a double standard. But the cheating thing was pretty silly.

10. Right, because everyone knows the GOP has never engaged in dirty tricks of any kind...

...oh, wait....

[democrat_patriot]

14. It's a toughie. R's are just expected to be crazy now.

So they get away with birther crap, jobless numbers wrong, polls wrong type of talk.

Dem's don't.

So LaBolt played it safe on Fox News. Can't scare the Fox News crowd, they may not vote for Obama.

4. That story IS tinfoil hat shit and anyone who pushes it should be ashamed.

5. DU's tinfoil brigade is not DU. This is a forum, not an organization.

[Iggo]

6. Who?

[Lex]

7. "casted"

Okay.

[Spider Jerusalem]

8. Someone needs to tell Ben Labolt, whoever he is, that the past tense of "cast" is "cast".

[CJCRANE]

9. Sometimes today's tinfoil is tomorrow's fishwrap...

like the Shrub earpiece story which NYT didn't publish at the time but admitted later.

11. it's like when he called Kanye a jackass

it' was something Kanye needed to hear.

[jsmirman]

12. Hey, that's exciting

I've never been part of a tinfoil hat crowd before



I still think there's something to the story, but the time has passed and I don't care.

But hey, free tinfoil hat.

13. I wear mine with anxious pride!
