Beecher Frasier Is a Stupid Hack

Somehow, I missed this from John Rodgers' much-blogged-about story today: Lincoln Davis' chief of staff and doofus-in-chief, Beecher Frasier, said he doesn't know for sure whether Obama is 'terrorist connected or not,' but he assumes he's not. Well, that's nice. Looks like Frasier is the liberal of the office. Update: The Tennessee GOP is, of course, having a field day with this admittedly staggering story. From flack Bill Hobbs, who notes in a press release that he is "no relation to TDP pary leader Fred Hobbs":
"The Tennessee Democrat Party has a long history of making unfounded accusations calling political rivals racists and smear artists. Perhaps before they fire the "racism" charge at others or claim their own party is unified behind Barack Obama, they might want to explain to the Obama campaign why one of the leaders of the Tennessee DemocratParty is accusing Obama of having terrorist connections, and why a Democrat Tennessee congressman and superdelegate is refusing to endorse the party's presidential nominee."
Update II: Well, yesterday Beecher Frasier was pretty sure that Obama is not connected to terrorism. Today, he's confident of that. Here's his statement: "No one in their right mind, including me, believes Senator Obama has ties to terrorism. It is truly ridiculous for anyone to try to make hay out of these comments."

Wow. Someone so odious that Bill Hobbs would disclaim kinship.

At the risk of being called racist, BHO does have, let's say, some unique friends, and I'm sure they have friends. Susan Estrich has an op-ed piece in this morning's Tennessean that should be read; what the racism thing may be all about.
As for calling one out as racist, the SCENE has no peer.

I don't think anyone would call you a racist. Seems to me your just another run of the mill uninformed Repug.

Maggie, why not call me a racist? You know nothing about me so why post nonsense like that?
Why is it you think my post uninformed? It raised reasonable questions. No need for your rather crappy response.

John,
Other than Bill Ayers (this "connection" has been done to death a nd there's nothing there), please identify Obama's "unique friends" and explain their links to terrorism. If you cannot, please shut up.

Beecher frazier worked diligently for Harold Fords senate bid. I personally have sought his help when trying to get healthcare benefits for minorities in my community and he has always given no less than 100% to that goal.
The incident regarding Sen. Obama was simply a poor choice of words, similarly to Michelle Obamas ,"for the first time.....proud American" statement.To take his statement and use it to calculate it into some racist/obama slam is malicious and does harm to the battle against real racism that is alive and well.
Beecher Frazier is quite simply a champion who represents the least among us. He is more than one sentence the right-wing takes and twist out of context.
