WASHINGTON – Former Sen. Fred Thompson, a Republican presidential candidate in waiting, candidly answered a question at a campaign stop in Texas yesterday regarding his membership in the Council on Foreign Relations, sometimes referred to as a "shadow government" organization of elites with a global agenda.

In an exchange caught on YouTube that later deteriorated into a police encounter, an activist asked Thompson about his membership in the group, linking it with plans for a "North American Union."

It seems a little staged.

I am pro-Hunter. I do not consider myself anti-Fred, although others here might.

That being said, I think it was staged. IMHO, she was a zealot from either the far right or far left.

“Another case of much to do about very little”

Your not dealing with the TTC in your backyard.

Your not dealing with rampant illegal immigration in your backyard are you?

You don’t live next to a 3rd world country where all manner of crime is so prevalent.

This is very serious.......to those who live near the Mexican border of coarse.

“There’s more but these alone should give you chills and should quiet those who think that any reference to the CFR planning a NAU is nothing but conspiracy nut-job talk.”

You can demonize all you wish, but the facts are there.

Years ago, you may have been able to convince others that this was a conspiracy....not now.

Nice try.

Exactly.

I was reading the comments of article (from drgudge link) and the woman posted a comment with a link to her site. If not her site, I think she at least calls it home, so put on a fresh piece of tin foil and take a look....

of course, if i were to be truthful and too open, i would say that conservatives tend to not like anyone because everyone has to meet some glorified and ridiculously impossible standard. they pick at everything, which only gives liberals openings to drive the knife in deeper. but right now i can't bring myself to support anyone right now.

i agree with you about the plant situation, btw.

[cpanter]

I’m very much pro-Fred and pro-Hunter. I like them both. There’s plenty of room for that IMO.

That woman is now showing this video on 911truth websites. It had to have been staged. I just don’t get the Fred bashing for it. That’s just where she went to get attention.

[MeanWestTexan]

I was quoting someone else. Reading is fundamental.

[GingisK]

So, only the press can query candidates? It is my understanding that this was an open forum.

[MeanWestTexan]

Actually, that’s not even my statement at all.

[GingisK]

what do you think she was kicked out for?

She was the one holding the camera. Difficult to act up and keep a camera pointed correctly. It appears that she was thrown out merely for asking a question that strays from the mundane.

[GingisK]

She then tried to monopolize the conversation.

She did no such thing.

[MeanWestTexan]

You have seen that phrase because I posted it, and that is what the CFR is.

Here I have some questions for you.

1. You do know the each CFR task for is independant and any report they write is the authors’ opinions alone, right?

2. You do know that the CFR then solicits comments on a reports. For example, the CFR interviewed Tom Tancredo, who tore that worthless “North American Union” report to shreds?

3. Don’t you think conservative ideas are intellectually superior and will win in a fair debate? Are you afraid that conservative ideas will lose in a debate?

So, good try. Move on to hating Jewish people or Freemasons or Baptists or maybe actual enemies that DO conspire against the USA, like, for example, Move On and George Soros.

>>>So, only the press can query candidates? It is my understanding that this was an open forum.<<

I’d have change my opinion if she was entitled under the rules to ask this question and they asked her leave because they didn’t like the question.

That said when you are an arm’s length from a Presidential Candidate and security asks you to leave the room, you need to do it and continue your case elsewhere.

[uglybiker]

And if you’ve got a link that shows none of them are members of the NAU task force ...

I am very secure in saying that none of these individuals has ver attended Northern ArizonaUniversity.

:-P

private people removing a person who is clearly causing a disturbance

C'mon, you know she was not causing a disturbance until, as you yourself said, AFTER she was asked to leave. I'd have caused a disturbance myself if I was treated the way she was. AND, SHE WAS NOT REMOVED BY "PRIVATE PEOPLE"; she was removed by the police, at the request of whom, I don't know. What's wrong with you people? If she had done this to Hillary Clinton, you'd be cheering her.

And, you, p_r_s should know from my prior posts that I am truly a Fred supporter. I just believe in Free Speech. Listen, Fred will get worse treatment than this from David Gregory and the White House Press Corp. Time to "man up".

[no dems]

She did NOT become disruptive until she was being removed. I might have become a little disruptive myself.

I love Fred but he hasn’t seen “disruptive” until he encounters David Gregory of NBC and the rest of the White House Press Corp.

This is still The United States of America where free speech is protected. Get tough or get out of the race. Oh, that’s right, my man Fred isn’t in the race yet.

[no dems]

what i SAID was she is a PLANT

If her attorney asks you to prove that in court will you be able to do so?
