Obama spokesman to Hannity: Hey, why do you hate Jews?

If nothing else, the next month should at least make for entertaining viewing on FNC. Here’s Hannity, fresh off signing a new deal with Fox, wrangling with … the next White House press secretary, maybe? Make that four years of entertaining viewing.
He tries to make the point VDH makes here but got sidetracked, alas. Next time he needs to look Gibbs in the eye and say: Tanning bed.

Then again looking at Gibbs he reminds me of one of Hitler’s Youth

As Rev Wright says, we’ve got to watch out for the jooooos.

In response to a smattering of previous comments, the idiot wasn’t actually accusing Hannity of anti-semitism, he was trying to make the point that he could make Hannity look guilty by association, the way Hannity was making Obama look…of course the guy failed miserably, and is a stupid fool.
And Obama IS guilty OF association/alliance.

*a quote
The Race Card on October 8, 2008 at 4:54 PM
I hope anybody who still thinks it’s only politics and thinks they are “just good Americans who think things should be done differently” enjoyed watching what the future holds for America. These fascists may very well have total control of the government after January. The garbageman parked his truck on my street last Thursday and walked up and down pulling mccain/palin signs up and throwing them in the garbage truck. He’d be in a very different place today if I had witnessed it, instead my lifelong elderly democrat neighbors watched and were shocked. The demofascists get control of both houses and the White House they know they will have less then two years to act. Things will happen very quickly and we can all kiss our civil rights good bye.

Sitting alone in the Fox News lunchroom.
Jim Treacher on October 8, 2008 at 4:56 PM
Once again, the left shows the total disregard for the truth. Trying to paint Hannity as a anti-semite should show everyone what level of evil they are operating from. Knowing full well that what he was saying was a lie and trying to deflect the onus of Obama’s association with a terrorist who attempted to kill innocent Americans show just how much this line of attack in working. If they think it’s such a no issue, then why are they stooping to the levels they are to try and deflect the criticism?
flytier on October 8, 2008 at 4:58 PM
Calling Sean Hannity anti-Semetic is like calling Jessica Alba or Megan Fox ugly.
What a tool.
nickj116 on October 8, 2008 at 4:58 PM
What’s with these idiotic moral equivalence defense attempts by Obama and his campaign?
First, Obama with his Grandmother being equivalent to Wright and now his campaign surrogate comparing a journalist interviewing somebody to Obama’s personal, political, and professional relationship with an unrepentant terrorist who set off bombs in America.
gumble on October 8, 2008 at 5:05 PM
I laugh every time I see this douche Gibbs giving an interview because he inevitably accuses anybody even remotely criticizing “the One” of either lying, conducting a dishonorable smear campaign or both (He dose it in every interview).
He sort of reminds me of the Obama campaigns version of Saddam Hussein’s minister of information Muhammad Saeed al-Sahhaf aka Baghdad bob (He is the dude who got on TV and said that “there are no American troops in Baghdad only to have a Abrams tank go rumbling past a few hundred meters away while he was making the comment).
Dreadnought223 on October 8, 2008 at 5:08 PM
Hannity should have cold-cocked the bastard.
rplat on October 8, 2008 at 5:13 PM
How come all of Obama’s spokespeople are white men?
rockmom on October 8, 2008 at 5:16 PM
Yeah, he hates Joooos, that is why he has been carrying Colmes for all these years…
wait a minute—Colmes comes off as a fool, maybe Hannity keeps him around to remind people that the Jooooos have their fools.
right2bright on October 8, 2008 at 5:17 PM
You wish. People like you sure are awful concerned about something you keep telling us is meaningless. I wonder why that is…..
You should be a spokesperson for Obama, because that argument is about as dumb as the one this thread is about.
xblade on October 8, 2008 at 5:23 PM
Hannity may not be anti-semitic but he has Pat Pukeanan on his show a lot. Nevertheless, Gibbs is a slimeball.
mram on October 8, 2008 at 5:34 PM
Here is why I hate Jews………there aren’t enough of them to slap some sense into the rest of us.
Limerick on October 8, 2008 at 5:38 PM
That’s some really terrible logic from Gibbs. Team Obama really doesn’t know how to spin this one.
BadgerHawk on October 8, 2008 at 5:39 PM
Four years of this BS oh, my. When you have no answer attack..Did that guy have on a brown shirt, or blue shirt?
d1carter on October 8, 2008 at 5:41 PM
More rediculous logic from a Dem.
Gibbs is a pennis
Jamson64 on October 8, 2008 at 5:42 PM
Why didn’t Sean sock him in the mouth? OK, that’s not very nice, but he deserved it. What a jerk! Some people should never be on tv and he is one.
Bambi on October 8, 2008 at 5:49 PM
The whole point was a non-sequitur. Hannity interviews all kinds of people all the time, its part of his job. Any viewer would have seen that. The spokesman wouldn’t have won anyone over with that argument.
cyclosarin on October 8, 2008 at 5:50 PM
It isn’t just that Hannity is a major-league scum, it’s that Alan Colmes is perhaps the lamest human being on any major TV network. He is a window in Roger Ailes’ carnival barker soul: this is what the wingnuts who watch this putrid swill want a liberal to look and act like. I’ve had my differences with Eric Alterman and Glenn Greenwald–still do, in fact–but I’d pay good money to see one of them go up against Hannity for a week while Colmes is off getting a backbone operation.
J.Klein, proud Jew
sashal on October 8, 2008 at 5:59 PM
The whole incident just exposed the depths to which the Obama campaign will stoop in order to win. Smear and burn. To accuse Sean Hannity of such a despicable ideology is beyond reason. He knew it too. I think he was grouchy because Obama had a poor showing and the Ayers thing is getting to him! And with this possibility of Hannity debating Ayers; whooaaa Nelly!
Brown shirts need to go ASAP! Start with Axelrod and then Gibbs!
freeus on October 8, 2008 at 6:09 PM
Those people sure are desperate considering they can’t lose.
SouthernGent on October 8, 2008 at 6:11 PM
J.Klein isn’t a Jew. He’s a dick.
Andy in Agoura Hills on October 8, 2008 at 6:27 PM
I’ve noticed that the Obama spokespeople have really been getting testy. What’s that other guys name, Megyn has ripped him a new one, they have an attitude when they come on Fox.
reshas1 on October 8, 2008 at 6:34 PM
Legend (and your little “pwned” cheerleader), you can’t be that big a tool can you? Do I have to start listing the many untalented idiots who have become rich and famous by playing their schtick to buffoons like you? You were probably a Milli Vanilli fan as well.
dakine on October 8, 2008 at 6:47 PM
I’m sure that the boys over at DU pretend that THEY like you and think you are smart, even if you are mostly just ignored here.
Maybe you and sashal can get together and do a show on Air America or something.
That’ll show them. That’ll show EVERYONE, huh?
You might even get paid to do it …if they can find another Boys & Girls Club to embezzle from.
LegendHasIt on October 8, 2008 at 7:08 PM
Have to agree, of all the talking heads he is the weakest when confronted by the other side. The few times I have listed he just stammers, talks louder, calls the person stupid and hang up on them. “You’re a great Merican Sean”, so f’n cheezy. No wonder conservatives are the universal butt of political jokes in popular culture.
I hate to say it, but I think Savage is winning me over although when is he wrong he is WAY wrong.
ClassicCon on October 8, 2008 at 7:10 PM
That’s because the interviewers on Fox (unlike the rest of the MSM) aren’t willing buy the crap that these guys are shoveling.
They’re so used to going on CNN and MSNBC and having their butts kissed that its a shock to their ego’s when someone actually asks them a serious question and actually expects them to give an answer that goes beyond mere talking points.
Hence the reason why they get all defensive and start calling people liars, smear mongers and racists.
Dreadnought223 on October 8, 2008 at 7:16 PM
Got to love how the discussion went from Obama’s affiliation with Ayers the terrorist to Sean being anti-Semite. In my eyes, Sean can do no wrong.
mindhacker on October 8, 2008 at 7:19 PM
I wouldn’t argue too much with that. (Other than I don’t like Savage either).
For that matter, I don’t listen to Rush Limbaugh for more than maybe fifteen minutes a month.
I don’t much care for any of them for various reasons, but I thank God that they are out there and have an audience, so that at least a little bit of truth gets told to people who can reason if led in the right direction.
But what I find hard to ignore is when a whiny little liberal nobody comes in and spews insults at everyone.
I wonder if there is a Connection
LegendHasIt on October 8, 2008 at 7:25 PM
I think the Jews had better wake up before obama and odingo (sp) take over. If they think this man who is supported by most of the middle east will take care of the Jews in Israel they are surely mistaken.
Are there emails going back and forth from Kenya to obama?
Maybe we will find out.
Bambi on October 8, 2008 at 7:25 PM
Oh Yeah! I Love Tammy, funky! Every Saturday, KABC, 4PM.
Try not to miss her, but I’ll catch the replay on KERN if I do. ;-)

Character didn’t matter with Clinton post-Monica, it won’t matter with Obama either. Media says so. Yes we can!

I’m not saying it’s all going to be wine and roses, just that it’s not going to go down like that.

Any of their economic ideas will blow up in their faces with the way the economy is right now. They know it. Their first moves will all be political. barry has gone around promising to use executive power agressively. The fairness doctrine may be implemented in days after the inaugaration. They will go after the internet in ways the chinese haven’t even imagined. They will find a way to get rid of the electoral college without a constitutional convention. They control all branches then don’t even bother worrying about a candidate for 2012. There will not be an election.
peacenprosperity on October 8, 2008 at 9:06 PM
Sean Hannity, Robert Gibbs and anti-Semitism
Chimpy on October 8, 2008 at 9:51 PM
You could have been a little less conspicuous….Greenwald?….oh Please…{yawn.}
jerrytbg on October 8, 2008 at 10:24 PM
Wow, what a dickeater Gibbs is. What a lying poseur pos.
Jaibones on October 8, 2008 at 10:33 PM
That is the dumbest, most sophomoric debate tactic of all time. Whyinhell did Hannity let him….
nevermind.
Claire on October 8, 2008 at 11:11 PM
That was a remarkable and compelling rebuttal. You magnificent bastard.
Grow some cajones and prove GG wrong over in his comments section. Unlike here new commenter’s registration is always open. I’ll be waiting for you to provide a timestamp so I can find it.
Chimpy on October 9, 2008 at 2:16 AM
How can this bastard compare interviewing someone with working with them for FIVE FRIGGIN YEARS? This guy is running with a point that is so friggin sophomoric and I can’t believe he was allowed to talk this long. If you tell a lie and deny long enough, the event never happened. I would like to sucker punk this pink tie wearing slimeball.
THIS is what we will get if Obama is elected. How do we contact Mr. Gibbs?
cannonball on October 9, 2008 at 4:07 AM
Gibbs is another ‘BLATHERING’ shill. They will talk over anyone that confront them with the truth so they cannot or more accurately will not have to hear it.
Any conversations with the likes of Gibbs is not true communication, but a monologue of a person that has a limited understanding of the ‘Big Picture’ and an inflated opinion of themselves.
