It is a shame that people are getting flamed for asking questions..
It is a shame so many Rudybots are acting as if obtuseness and stupidity were virtues!
"It is a shame that people are getting flamed for asking questions."
You have to understand that some of us have been on these other threads were the rudyphiles have been trying to drag fred thompson through the mud because they see him as the biggest threat to rudy's popularity. Facts don't matter to them - merely that they can spread FUD (fear uncertainty and doubt) about Thompson.
There have been many "fred is pro choice/ he's a flip flopper" threads where I have posted the information about his pro life group endorsement from the start, his pro life voting record, and the pro life voting record of his allegedly "pro choice" opponent.
You know what happens when you bring out that information? The people trying to paint Fred Thompson as a pro-choice flip flopper don't respond. Indeed, one person in particular was shown this information then abandoned that thread, only to post a nearly identical "fred is pro choice" thread less than an hour later. I posted that information on the new thread, and guess what- not one acknowledgement from him / her of that information.
Sorry if you're getting a tough time on all this, but just about everything you posted at the top has been used many times in the past couple weeks in an attempt to smear Thompson.

It's not that you asked questions, it's the percieved tone (by some) of the questions added to the fact that about 10 thompson threads have been posted daily since his Fox News appearance. There is a plethora of information available by simply looking at the current posts or a simple one word search here on FR for old threads. It may be a misread but one could read your questioning as leading, pointed and agenda driven because of this.
Believe me, compared to the flaming going on from Rudy supporters on the Fred Threads this is like a match flame.
