Are the Media Misreporting Thompson Addition of Spencer Abraham to Campaign?

The lamination keeps it from getting windblown.

[Politicalmom]

Wow, you’re all over the place with this crap.

Have you explained how you weren’t supporting anyone, and then suddenly became a Fred supporter with your wallet open just long enough to desert the ship like a rat over this hiring?

[SuziQ]

You like the Red October refrence, its a personal favorite...

The movie also produced my favorite Fred line. "Russians don't take a dump, son, without a plan."

[SuziQ]

Well, that kinda ‘splains the diatribe against Spencer Abraham, don’t it?

[Jim Robinson]

Yup.

[SuziQ]

If I got the reaction from the grassroots that hiring Abraham did...

That reaction wasn't from the Fred grassroots. That was a manufactured 'outrage' by a Giuliani supporter, and it was gleefully picked up by other media outlets, and pushed hard here by Freepers who support other candidates.

It is only the latest in a list of 'problems' that Fred's nascent candidacy is having, don't you know. Just ask them, they'll tell you!

[SuziQ]

So sharing one board member (out of many) makes anything they say inherently wrong. You learned your politics at the knee of Uncle Joe Stalin, didn’t you?

Kinda sounds like what some folks who are so outraged about Spencer Abraham are doing to Fred, doesn't it?

[Jim Robinson]

Yup. They’re trying to knock a fine conservative candidate out of the race to make way for a gun grabbing liberal abortionist. Rudy has a hundred times the baggage of any other Republican in the race. For starters, he’s not even a conservative. Not even a Republican. He is the very definition of the term RINO. No thanks.

[PGalt]

Thanks for that link, Jim. Interesting.

The head of NumbersUSA is Roy Beck, a conservative (formerly Yellow Dog Democrat I suspect) minister and former journalist from Missouri.

The man you refer to created a non-profit, U.S., Inc. to allow other non-profits to share administrative resources, while maintaining seperate revenue streams and boards of directors. He was in the 1970s on the boards of Sierra Club and the Population Connection (then called Zero Population Growth). U.S., Inc. no longer has any formal relationship with NumbersUSA, since NumbersUSA is large enough it needs to hire its own administrative staff.

Impugning motives of entire movements based on a former association is straight out of the communist playbook, and your misinformation echoes leftwing sources playing on paranoia of a “Vast Right-Wing Conspiracy.”

>> Kinda sounds like what some folks who are so outraged about Spencer Abraham are doing to Fred, doesn’t it? <<

I probably will vote for Fred Thompson in the primary, unless Duncan Hunter miraculously moves into the 1st or 2nd tiers. Not everyone relates information purely to promote their own candidate; I was only stating why some people dislike Abraham. But I certainly would never discount everything Thompson says anything just because he associates with Abraham.

[Lexinom]

How Duncan Hunter can win.

[SuziQ]

But I certainly would never discount everything Thompson says anything just because he associates with Abraham.

YOU may not, but there have been at least four threads about Spencer Abraham where folks are doing just that.

Ah, the classics...

And yet keeps it fresh for days...

Since you guys are happy to search a mere 10 days of my posts, but too lazy to search more, I guess it's necessary for me to do so. Here goes (6 months' worth)...

Fred and Reagan
Pro-Life for Fred
Tort Reform
More for Fred

Photoshop User for Fred
Photoshop User for Fred #2

Rudy vs Fred

Not a Rudy guy
Not a Rudy guy #2

Not a Paulestinian

Not a Hunter man

Nor Others

Now will the Bots permit this humble supplicant to dare to criticize the hiring--for ANY job--of the open-borders, Hizbollah-supporting RINO creep Spencer Abraham?

Only YOU could be interested enough in yourself to waste time going back through six months of posts.

[ejonesie22]

I will grant you any amount of time or effort you want to take for spouting your drivel. We then will execute our rights to dispute the ignorant and racist crap for what it is.

BTW, Abraham is a Christian, not a Shiite, however I can understand your mistake, things get noisy and confusing down in the bunker...

[montag813]

Only you could be so disinterested in the truth as to lie about my record, based only on your false assumptions.

[montag813]

racist crap for what it is. BTW, Abraham is a Christian, not a Shiite, however I can understand your mistake, things get noisy and confusing down in the bunker...

Oh please. I use "shiite" as a censored version of sh*t, which is quite common jargon on this forum. I know Abraham is Christian. I don't care if he is a Scientologist. He has supported CAIR and Hizbollah, and that is enough for me to know he should not have any role in a serious campaign.
