The drive-by media just doesn't get Fred.

[donnab]

Elitest just don’t get real folk.

[commonguymd]

True. But, we need more of this though, so his message starts to get out. The general public will “get it”.

I see Dana Milbank on anything, I just drive on by.

[AnAmericanMother]

Boy, Milbank is just dripping with contempt for flyover country!

My husband amuses himself baiting people like that, seeing how many impossibilities he can get them to believe.

[cquiggy]

“I’m a Tennessee boy. I consider this my neck of the woods and I hope South Carolinians think this is my neck of the woods, too.” The last part he pronounces “mah neck-uh-da woods.”

I assume they are trying to imply that Fred is some sort of fake.

Fred is as real as it gets. Its about time someone has the guts to speak his mind with the American people.

Fred has not yet said. I ain’t no ways tired. Hillary’s honest dialouge.

“The drive-by media just doesn’t get Fred.”

Or maybe they do, but it irritates them that his folksy style is appealing when he gets to show it.

[Cicero]

And how does Dana Milbank pronounce it?

[JustaDumbBlonde]

I’m really liking Fred more and more everyday. Elites just can’t comprehend the country way. Simple fact is that country folk can be much wiser to the world than they will ever be given credit for, but the elites are so convinced that you must be stupid if you’re country that they will never even take the time to listen. Anyone who doesn’t try to impress me with their ability to mealy-mouth a subject gets my attention every time.

Fred has some good enemies. Wadaya say we keep-um?

[Fred]

A southerner talking with a southerner accent?...Duh..

[stockstrader]

The first question on national security was answered almost exactly the same way that Ronald Reagan answered it-—when he said, “We win, they lose” (to that same question posed by Richard Allen).

[Uriah_lost]

They are so very affraid of him....why won’t they engage him on substance? He has written plans and statements on most all of the major issues but they play these games...why do you think that’s true?

[SuziQ]

The Washington Post will never like Fred. He just talks too unsophisticated for them. Never mind what he’s saying, they just don’t like the way he says it.

[jellybean]

Hey, Dana, did you write your snarkly little drivel when John Kerry went hunting in 2004 and asked, “Can I get me a huntin’ license here?”

Ping

[ImpBill]

They, the MSM, don't have to "get" Fred. It is refreshing, even in their attempt to "hay seed" him they are reporting it. The readers, the "real folk" will get Fred.

Fred Dalton Thompson is more than likely the "last great hope" for this Republic of "the folk" and "by the folk".

[wardaddy]

I hope they get him soon....though this could go to the convention

[Yaelle]

Holy heck, is this what they are resorting to now? What about the accents on Edwards and Bill Clinton? And what about the twangy lisp of Algore? I guess no one twalks funny in New Yawk.

[wardaddy]

btw....none of the media really get conservatism.....Fox’s news team doesn’t...they’ve proved it over immigration and now Fred.

The rest of the media doesn’t even care.

WSJ is milquetoast conservatism.

Really only Liddy, Rush, Savage is his way over the top way, Michael Reagan and a handful of others really understand where conservatism should be...I mean listen to George Will these days....he sounds like a Democrat

[maine-iac7]

[Liberty Valance]

Don't know about you folks, but Fred is looking better and better as this schlockfest continues!

Thompson/Poe'08!
