You really dont get it?I didn't read it as a hit piece, and I have been a Fred supporter since he ran for the Senate in 1994, but you are entitled to your opinion. I just wasn't sure about your point.
I gather the writer doesn't have much of a resume, looking at the things he has reported on... on line. None of them seem particularly deep.
"Thompson seemed to squander the summer"
"raised fewer campaign dollars"
"he was forced to acknowledge ignorance"
"an unconventional fundraiser crowd: Some seemed to be bar patrons dropping by for an early nip."
May as well have repeated the mantra, "lazy, failure, stupid." Oh, and his supporters are alcholics.
Yep, a hit piece, especially when you go look at the fawning over democrats he produces. If you think you smell smoke, dig a little. With libs, the proof is usually pretty
"shallow."
