This is so amazing. Our future president, Fred Dalton Thompson, has already got the liberals on the run. How convenient, this article comes out right after the Liberal Suckup Fest GOP Debates. Looks like Fred did win the debates after all.

[sofaman]

this is pretty disgusting....the writer is doing the groundwork for the Looney Left.

Oh brother, you gotta be kidding me. He played a role, so that’s who he is?

I guess by this logic, most actors are heterosexual, since that’s the role they usually play? Right.

Hey LA Times Tina,

Have you ever heard of the dems Robert Byrd? He played one in real life.

[SolidWood]

Too funny! The LA Pravda uses FILM ACTING as poltical arguments. What a bunch of total losers.

[TLI]

three episodes of CBS' hit show "Wiseguy" in 1988.

they have got to be kidding, 1988?

The dems are very afraid of Fred.









yesssssss!

These are the people who can’t distinguish fact from fiction: democrats as represented in the press. Bah. Reminds me of their highly-touted show about a woman president (I can’t even remember the name)with Geena Davis which tanked and was cancelled after one season. Another fictional fact that didn’t work out for them.

[Red Badger]

Stupidity personified.........But then, for them, that’s what passes for intellectual discourse......

[MarkT]

Can Sally Fields ever be trusted by non-blievers or liberals, if she played the role of the Flying Nun. Grow up, as**ole.

Phone conversations I would love to have the NSA tap:

"Hello, this is Tina Daunt."
"Tina! This is Senator Clinton! I just wanted to congratulate you on the fine job you did in the LA Times' article! Good work!"
"Well, thank you, Senator! Anything I can do to help the Party!"
"Excellent, excellent! Now in your next piece, I'd like you to focus on..."

[Mr. Mojo]

His colleagues say that he was just an actor putting everything he had into playing the role of a charismatic racist

The author writes this as if another possibility exists.

[Joann37]

Unbelievable. The headline and the author assume this to be the case before any such discussion ever occurs.

And who in a billion years would ever equate playing a role 20 YEARS AGO with a man’s character today? What idiots are these people in the MSM!!!

[prairiebreeze]

digging deep for Fred paranoia, ping

[SirLinksalot]

The more interesting question is this — IS FRED THOMPSON EVEN INTERESTED IN RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT ?

[Redcloak]

More from the Fredophobes at the LAT.

[TeenagedConservative]

I love how journalists give Democrats talking points by asking questions. Next story: “Are All Republicans Idiots? Questions Linger”

[tiredoflaundry]

I guess this is an a$$ backward attempt to “Macaca (sp)” Fred.

[Badeye]

Funny, they didn’t mind Martin Sheen playing President on television for six seasons, even though he portrayed Robert E Lee in ‘Gettysburg’...

[infidel29]

But in the age of YouTube, this performance could raise an intriguing political question: How does a performer eyeing a presidential run deal with a video history that can be downloaded, taken out of context, chopped into embarrassing pieces and then distributed endlessly though cyberspace?

...and we at the LASlimes would certainly never play any part in any political shennanigans or dirty tricks like to post any web links that may or may not arise or come to light in any way to damage the political career or interfere with the political process even if someone, anyone out there were to even e-mail the links or video clips to our editor's desk at the address shown on our website at www.latimes.com...

[fatnotlazy]

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.

This was already posted once, but the thread must have got pulled, because I can’t find it now.
