Hoft headlines his latest post "Whoops! This Changes Things- Loughner's Hero Was Barack Obama," then proceeds to breathlessly exclaim that "Killer Jared Loughner idolized Barack Obama."
He sources this scoop to "The Examiner" "via Free Republic" and links to a blog post by Anthony Martin at Examiner.com. In the portion of his post excerpted by Hoft, Martin writes:
Even more curious are Loughner's 'heroes.' He mentions by name Venezuelan Communist Hugo Chavez, Latin American Communist mass-murderer Che Guevara, American Socialist revolutionary Saul Alinsky, and even Barack Obama.The link takes you to the Free Republic message board, where a commenter by the name of "Scanian" writes:
From facebook for a Jared Laughner from Tuscon, Arizona, the man named as the shooter. People who inspire him include Barack Obama, Saul Alinsky, Fidel Castro, Che Guevara, Huo Chavez, Noam Chomsky, Mao Tse-tung, Joseph Stalin, and Yassir Arafat. He writes "Fight the Right! Obama and the Progressives will overcome the tyrrany of big business and the racist Tea Party.BY ANY MEANS NECESSARY!You'll notice a glaring problem with this assertion: namely, that the shooter's name was Jared LOughner, not "Laughner." (The spelling of his name was originally misreported by several media outlets.)
Which leads to....a fake Facebook profile.
You want to talk about a fact-check problem. Hoft has already indicted the President on fake evidence.
Despicable bastard.
[UPDATE] Jim Hoft will post anything, won't he.

You've already convicted every conservative in America on no evidence.
I fear for Bon The Geek, I fear for your co-workers, I fear for everyone who knows you in real life, because you are showing the same signs of paranoia that Jared Lee Loughner has.
Any objective reader of your blog would come to the same diagnosis.
I implore you to seek professional help for your intense hatred of conservatives before you become a danger to yourself and others.
Not that you'll pay attention, oh anonymous troll posting under ZCP, but the shooter was a registered Republican.
Oh, and I'm actually posting under my real user name, you poisonous half-wit.
So let's see, we're batting fake Jared Loughner evidence with...fake Jared Loughner evidence!
He was a registered independent you dolt.
That is photoshopped and been debunked already.
Get the fuck out of here, you moron.
Free Republic?
...Okay...
Kerners! Are! GO!!
Using Jim Hoft as a source of information is like giving a dehydrated man in the desert an extra salty margarita.
Your concern is noted, ICP, please take it to hell with you when you go back.
