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."

I think the boots are mandatory, the BVDs optional.

Well we agree on Fred... but Free Speech is not unlimited... look into that.

you need to read up on some caselaw and familiarize yourself with the limits placed on speech.
The camerqaman was practicing for when the UFOs/bigfoot show up (again).
So what’s my agenda? Trying to find out if a poster is for Hunter? I’ve had more beefs with HunterHeads than with what Hunter apparently stands for. In other words, some of his people posting here have done nothing but piss me off.
He mentioned it one time in passing. How much he is involved with it I have no clue. I’m not going to draw any inferences from it. You may be right.
The inferences you are drawing are not mine but yours.
Some caller mentioned the CFR and Rush responded by saying he was a member or whatever.
But Katie Couric is. Actually, this list isn't published by CFR so I have no idea how accurate it is. It appears on a website that's in opposition to NAU/SPP (so am I). I'll take the list with a grain of salt.
Is it necessary to insult people? Really? Is it?
I don’t see his name on any list. I can’t see how it wouldn’t be if he was a member.
As compared to this comment you made to Wildwood: "Now, go study for your GED." Is that your idea of intellectual value and reasoning?
...I think Fred Thompson is a really good man, but, I certainly do not want to be identified with the likes of you.
Well, as a Fred supporter, I frankly don't want to be associated with the likes of you. So. Please leave. And don't let the door hit you in the a$$ on the way out. Fred deserves better than you.
Well, she does have videos all over YouTube with her confronting different politicians over the same "truther" ideas. So, yes, I would say it was probably staged.
They also asked her to leave, you can even hear her say, "they are asking me to leave", after she keeps trying to blather on. "You call yourself a conservative..." Apparently she won't leave. The camera starts jiggling, and she starts screaming, "Get your hands off me!" (to be fair, she does say "sir" once) she keeps repeating the charge, and you can hear people say, "Calm down." and what sounds like "Nobody is touching you."
She does not go to jail. Apparently there is another version of the video with her and her companion (a guy) getting into a car with a Ron Paul bumper sticker. I haven't seen it, myself, but I read about it on different blogs yesterday. Someone even claimed to have been at the event and talked about some hysterical woman yelling at Thompson. There must be video that SHE did not post on YOuTube as well.
I did see in the video that Fred Thompson had moved on to someone else and was answering other questions when she was asked to leave. So, I am guessing she was causing a disturbance and staged a little melodrama.
That is my opinion based on the other videos she has posted on YouTube doing the same thing at different events.
You’re the one making a constitutional freedom of speech argument over something that clearly isn’t anything of the kind and and then accuse ME of arguing nonsense? Didn’t we discuss that you should refrain from posting while drinking?
LOLOL! Ad hominem attacks with nothing to add to a debate.
So, while you’re up there on that high horse, how on earth is this a ‘freedom of speech’ issue? Or did you drop out of school before they taught you anything about what the constitution actually says?
You told me that if someone had done this to Hillary Clinton that I’d be cheering. I think not. I don’t cheer for people that think 9/11 was an inside job. I don’t care who they heckle.
And just because I don’t cheer for them doesn’t mean their constitutional rights were violated. This combined with that rather strange line in your profile about ‘morality over money’ really makes you sound like you’d be more at home over at DU.
You wanna join the truthers, you go right ahead. But don’t tell me that because some kooky weirdo is thrown out of a public gathering for behaving like the kook that she is that someone’s rights have been violated.
He’s got nothing else. His argument is full of holes and he knows it. Either that or he’s just drunk and belligerent. I hope it’s the latter.
I believe this was about 2 or 3 years ago, maybe longer.
a reasonable answer...better than the Abraham appointment
I think it's pretty safe to say he's not.
