Will Fred Thompson's racist role have political repercussions?

That’s right. He was acting when he was Archie Bunker. That came up when The Feminazis were protesting Andrew “Dice “Clay.

We live in a time when many young people get their “news” from Colbert and Daly. Yes, the dems seem to be knocking their knees in fear over Fred, (good!) but many people are too dumb to figure out fact from fiction.

There are some freepers I know who think Mr. Thompson’s a liberal based on his character on Law & Order. I don’t think his L& O character is liberal, but even if it were, it’s still not him.

This is just too funny.

So how many Black Men were lynched by those he recruited?

Wouldn't you love to have that question asked of him?

Propagandists exposed.

Now you know Tina Daunt is a corrupt left wing activist.

The interesting thing about this article is it doesn’t name — explicitly or anonymously — a single person criticizing Thompson. Thus, the story is a pure fabrication by the LA Times — a non-story in which the reporters aren’t “reporting” on anything other than whatever passes through their heads.

‘We live in a time when many young people get their “news” from Colbert and Daly.’

You do know it’s not a person named Daly, but a show called the Daily Show, hosted by Jon Stewart, right? Just checking.

The television screen is the retina of the mind’s eye.

If I am not mistaken Bobby Byrd played a Col. in the Confederate Army in the film, Gods and Generals.

Imus was an Act.

Look at him now.

It will be said that actors do have responsibility for the roles they play.

However, if Fred would have had a role as a NAMBLA Child Molester the Dems would have no problem with it.

You mean like the Hillary Ghandi joke? I hope that comes out too.

[Politicalmom]

If that is a serious question you haven’t been paying ANY attention.

[Theresawithanh]

Yep, meant to type in “show”.

Just answering...

[Tribune7]

If they find he was involved in a wagon train attack in 1857, he’s toast.

"...this performance could raise an intriguing political question:.."

Why do we let these leftwing lunatics set the rules for debate let alone tell us how to think? I reject the whole premise that there is any valid question.

[antiRepublicrat]

And who in a billion years would ever equate playing a role 20 YEARS AGO with a man’s character today?

Democrats? They'll chop the scene and present it as something he personally said as a lawyer back then, and the MSM will publicize it. Free Republic and other sites will show the truth, but it won't matter because the MSM won't publicize the retraction.

Luckily, I think Thompson can handle this stuff in the same way that Reagan did...

Indeed. Reagan portrayed the villain in one movie.

I have always said that "Modern Liberalism" is a mental disorder. This proves it. Sufferers of this disorder are unable to separate fact from fantasy.
