(Unconfirmed Vanity) Fox News Reports: Romney Campaign blamed for planting false story on Thompson D

Vanity Shepard Smith's Biography ^ | Jan 03,2008 | Fox News

[Maelstorm]

I was just watching FoxNews Shepard Smith. The Romney campaign is being fingered as the source for the phony story about the drop out.

One of the Romney jerks is on making snide remarks.

As I was listening to him I thought- glad this guy isn’t representing my choice;)

[Miss Didi]

Thanks...I thought I had it right. I believe one of Kristol’s daughters works on the McCain campaign.

Mary’s denial doesn’t absolve the Romney campaign.

"Guilty until proven innocent" seems to be your position. Do you live in Durham County?

[Red_Devil 232]

You are right, her husband was a McCain media advisor but has switched sides and is with Romney now!

I noticed that Political has not taken the story down, and they very explicitly quote “a Thompson source.”

Yep. Erma Lou Thompson, 45 yr old unmarried daughter of Elmer T. Thompson, (R.R. 1, just past the turn-off to the Feed and Tackle Shop), otherwise known by her nickname, Thompson's Horse.

No big surprise. Flip wants the nomination bad enough to lie about it when it comes to policy, so why not to take down a rival? It's telling that he's aiming at Fred. I guess he sees Thompson as his most dangerous opponent down the road.

Fox News busy running this last minute hit piece on Thompson all day. Smells like Romney’s $$$ at play.

If Romney is the nominee, Hillary destroys him (in election and debates ... Romney was horrible in the republican debates).

See post #124

A liar and a snarky, sarcastic one at that.

[VegasBaby]

So, is Romney responsible for this one, too?

After all, any underhanded attack against any candidate (including Romney), is Romney’s doing, right?

[rintense]

I’m shocked. /s

[ejonesie22]

Good to see you are back, missed ya...

Afterall the party is just about to begin...

[Domandred]

That’s funny thought this thread was pulled. Tried to post to it earlier and it wouldn’t let me.

[xzins]

It makes sense for it to be Romney. He has the most to gain, especially in S. Carolina.

Besides, that he’s a snake in the grass.

As far as this being an unconfirmed vanity - it is absolutely true that Shepard Smith said that off camera the Thompson campaign said the Romney campaign did it.

[ConservativeDude]

...Thompson’s Horse.”

Good one!

[Petronski]

Amazing that this thread has been retitled, since others saw the same report. How does one link a live television broadcast?

[RGSpincich]

What’s surprising is how much Shep looks like a young Leona Helmsly in that picture.

Shep in drag
