Are Hobbits capable of evil?

That is, regardless of the influence of the ring itself, which might possibly make them do things against their nature...

Or put another way: if we do not find any evil deeds perpetrated by Hobbits (aside from minor faults), is it because they are able to stand by a higher moral code (unlike for instance humans) or because they are one dimensionally good? (just like there are lots of one dimensionally bad characters)
