Beecher Frasier’s Tullahoma Terrorist Fistjab Makes Huffington Post
Posted on June 13, 2008 at 2:53 pmDawn Teo on the continuing controversy:
When I called Davis’s congressional office this morning, his staff said that he had not yet spoken with them regarding the matter. They were unable to make any statement or comment. According to the congressman’s McMinnville office in Warren County, Davis is presently on the road doing “county visits.”
Davis Chief of Staff Beecher Frasier attempted to clear up the matter but only added fuel to the fire. City Paper’s Rodgers asked point blank whether he, Beecher Frasier, believed Obama had ties to terrorists. Frasier responded saying that he “didn’t know for sure” whether Obama was “terrorist connected” but that he assumed not.
Tennessee Democratic Party Communications Director Wade Munday issued an official response, blaming the statements and the sentiments behind them on Republican efforts “to turn internet smears and highly offensive gossip into the [Republican] message against Senator Barack Obama.” Munday’s release assures readers that the Democratic Party of Tennessee is united behind the party nominee. The Democratic Party office told me that Fred Hobbs had apologized and would be voting for Obama.
Clint Brewer, the editor of City Paper, was nevertheless clearly vexed that Davis would not issue a formal response on the comments made by Chief of Staff Frasier. After all, three ranking figures in local Democratic politics had given voice to concerns widespread in the area.
