Swampland: Top 10 Dirty Political Tricks
Team Romney knows a thing or two about playing dirty. In 2007, Romney’s political consultant, Wesley Donehue, was discovered as the “anonymous” culprit behind the website “Phony Fred.” The site attacked GOP candidate and former TV star Fred Thompson with unflattering photos and taunting names like Flip-Flop Fred, Moron Fred and Fancy Fred. Under one heading that read “Playboy Fred,” the site posted the question: “Once a pro-choice skirt chaser, now standard bearer of the religious right?” PhonyFred.org was quickly removed once reporters from The Washington Post began investigating the site. Thompson’s spokesman, Todd Harris, condemned the trickery saying, “There is no room in our party for this kind of smut.”
Anyone else notice how Romney’s advisors from Mass and NY only go nuclear on conservatives while playing nice with liberals and their lackeys in the media?
