Protester removed from Fred Thompson event

Perhaps “nut” is not the right word, but she is certainly rude, classless, and an embarrassment to anyone she claims to represent.

And I’d say that about anyone who acts like she did at any event, regardless of candidate or party.

"She asked him why he was a member of the Council on Foreign Relations, and noted that the organization supported the North American Union with Canada and Mexico.

Whether or not you agree with her tactics, is this not a fair question to ask of a man running for the Republican nomination? I for one would be very interested in his answer and even more interested in why he would choose to not answer. Fred, if you want to run with the big dogs get your ass off the fence and let the people know where you stand.

Why does everyone assume it’s a Ron Paul-ite? It could be a supporter of any of the candidates, Dem or Repub, or even a lone nutcase?

My first thought was that it was a Hunter supporter, myself.

[Blue Turtle]

They are afraid....very afraid.

Why does everyone assume it’s a Ron Paul-ite?

Because of the 9/11Truth (sic) and CFR boogie-man.

Nuts come in every flavor

There are left nuts & right nuts... :)

[Brandie]

LOL that picture gets me every time.

[ejonesie22]

Ooh, maybe I can be poster 2000 as well...

[Theresawithanh]

I don’t have your crystal ball. Let’s wait and see how Mr. and Mrs. and Ms. and Miss voting public feel about him once he gets in, huh?

[ejonesie22]

Too confusing...

[Jokelahoma]

Well, the Ron Paul quote at the top of her FrontPage designed web site does lend a fairly large tilt to that direction. Add to that Paul's association with the Truthers, and it's a logical conclusion.

“I thought pissant was a guy....?”

I like pissant but still, ROFLMAO!

[mnehring]

100 old people in Florida found a way to select Pat Buchanan in that survey.

[GSWarrior]

My instinct tells me it’s an overzealous pro-life person acting on his/her own accord.

[Sybeck1]

That’s the real story here, and if Fred will ever get that question in a debate.

[Jedidah]

“. . . is this not a fair question to ask of a man running for the Republican nomination?”

Certainly it is.

If you’ll read the rest of the article at the link:

“After the woman interrupted Thompson by questioning his conservative credentials, the likely candidate said, “Don’t fuss at me. You asked me a question. Let me answer it.” He told the woman, “I try to learn as much as I can from all viewpoints.”

Later, she shouted at Thompson as the news conference ended. Police officers took her outside a fenced area near the hangar, and stood with her until the former Tennessee senator departed.”

Sure, it was a fair question. Nothing wrong with the question, just the woman’s behavior. Fred was polite to her and tried to answer her question, but she continued to act like up and was eventually escorted out.

Someone will be by shortly to explain that this was a false-flag operation, and in fact is evidence of the plan to create the NAU.

I heard the Amero will be backed by gold. Ron Paul is suddenly in favor of the NAU.

You know, sometimes the facts themselves leave no room for added humor...
