Jim Hoft Falls for Obviously Fake Facebook Page to Link Loughner to Obama

Today, the world’s dumbest blogger, Jim “Dim” Hoft, in his crazed attempt to cast the shooter of Gabrielle Giffords as a “typical leftist nut,” actually found a Facebook page that proved he was right all along! He rushed to his computer and feverishly typed this title: “Whoops! This Changes Things- Loughner’s Hero Was Barack Obama!”

Just one problem. The Facebook page was an obvious fake, with the shooter’s name misspelled. And when he finally figured it out (because one of his commenters pointed it out), Hoft simply deleted his post. Media Matters has the screenshot: Shameless: Jim Hoft Falls For Fake Facebook Profile In Attempt To Link Loughner To Obama.

Ben Dimiero’s comment is undeniable:

This morning, Hoft posted what he seems to think is bulletproof evidence supporting this thesis, but, as is usually the case with him, it is merely evidence that someone as hackishly irresponsible as Hoft should have no role in our national political discourse.

Hoft, of course, is one of the star writers at race-baiting smear artist Andrew Breitbart’s “Big Government” site, along with the completely deranged Pamela “Shrieking Harpy” Geller, who is also frantically trying to paint Loughner as a “leftist.”
