Fred Thompson Gets Mad

By Joel Achenbach PROSPERITY, S.C. -- You rarely see Fred Thompson get too riled about anything, but steam was near about shooting from his ears today when he heard at a campaign stop that some of his supporters had received "push poll" calls from a group supporting Arkansas governor Mike Huckabee.

I guess the Romeny events were cancled. Sad to say the media was at the bigger events.

Was there a big media presence at the event you attended?

I think it is great Fred is doing what he can ... but you know how it is when you get home after attending one of thes events and watch it on the Local News ... it is not the same as switching to FNC and seeing the same event being broadcast or covered nationaly. And as you can tell the Nation is watching all this very closely. No see Fred = No talk about Fred = Fred not doing well and maybe I should be thinking about someone other than Fred.

He's like the John Goodman character in "O Brother, Where Are Thou?". Great movie, even though it did have George Clooney.

A friend of mine told me last night that he couldn’t figure out why I don’t like Huckabee. Well I told him he was about as liberal as Rudy, if not more so. My friend told me I was nuts! Then I told him to look at Huckabee’s record. He didn’t say much more after that.

I submitted this to Drudge. Hopefully South Carolinians can see through this garbage before it’s too late.

There is no denying Fred’s 100% pro-life record and his many endorsements by pro-life organizations. He is on record as having voted to BAN partial birth abortions. These calls are so sleazy.

He’d better start getting mad at his buddy John McCain if he wants any shot at winning.

On a similar subject, the candidates who have annoyed me the most by filling up my voice mail are Huckabee and McCain. The others have called but not enough to royally get me Po’d. It’s been so bad that if I was slightly leaning toward Huckabee or McCain, the constant hammering by their campaign would put me off.

Yup, here is Fred’s 100% pro-life voting record from the National Right to Life website. They dinged him for CFR only.

Huckster, and ANY of his supporters who are aware of his unethical behaviour, are slime.

I think there’s video of one Thompson supporter receiving a pro-Huckabee push poll call.

Speaking with reporters, Thompson looked like he was ready to strip the bark off Huckabee.

A great analogy, and this would be a good pay-per-veiw ......

Huck is a con-man, and I hope people start to realize it.

Huckabee is the sleazy wimp that even the nice guys in school wanted to beat up. I have no doubt that Fred wants to ring the little creeps neck. But I guess that Huckensh*t would just get Chuck Norris to defend him.

Huck reminds me of the creepy little runt in the “Mummy” movie series, the one that Brendon Frazier use to slap around. I think the runt got eaten by scarab beetles in the end.

I’d up the rhetoric and keep on it. The group making these calls is already known, it’s not hard to call them out on the carpet. Scream it to all the SC media.

But you forget Fred said, in the last debate, that if the Duke were standing in the wings Norris would have a big problem!
