(singing) The wheels on the bus go round and round...
The Obama campaign referred to several major liberal bloggers as the “tinfoil hat crowd†in a statement to Fox News Wednesday. The campaign was responding to the cable channel’s request for a comment on an Internet conspiracy theory many of them had promoted.
Shortly after the presidential debate last week, a number of liberal bloggers including ones at Daily Kos, FireDogLake, Democratic Underground, and the Daily Beast’s Andrew Sullivan, among others, began posting items suggesting that Mitt Romney had cheated during the debate.
The theory was that, as some video of the event appeared to suggest, Romney slipped a folded piece of paper out of his pocket and onto his podium just before the debate started. The bloggers suggested this was a “cheat sheet.†The theory was prettyclearly debunked. The paper was in fact a handkerchief … that Romney was shown later in the debate mopping his brow with.
Fox’s Special Report with Bret Baier somewhat belatedly weighed in on the issue during its Wednesday broadcast. Baier noted a Washington Times story that suggested the Obama campaign planted the “cheat sheet†story in the blogs. Fox asked the Obama campaign for its reaction. Spokesman Ben LaBolt provided them with the following statement:
No — We’ve never casted our lot with the tinfoil hat crowd.

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

They were pushing/shoving/ramming this talking point into the post-debate clean-up but it's ridiculous for Fox news to make a question of it.
How...
...typical.

If FOX hadn't pushed it, I doubt the DUmmies would know about it!

Dear DUmmies, for being the smartest people on all the Innerwebtubez, you never figured out not to ask a question if you knew you weren't gonna like the answer?
