Well, it was bound to happen. The Democrats have unleashed their goons against Fred Thompson. And guess what they are highlighting?!
Yes, Fred Thompson played a racist on television back in the 1980's and . . . wait for it . . . Fred dated a lot when he was single -- during the Clinton administration. Ooohhhhhhh! How dare he. I mean, during that time, anybody who was anybody was putting cigars in places cigars aren't suppose to go while with White House interns!
Of course the most telling one is that the Democrats take serious issue with this statement by Fred:
"Mexican leaders apparently have an economic policy based on exporting their own citizens, while complaining about US immigration policies that are far less exclusionary than their own. The French jail perfectly nice people for politically incorrect comments, but scold us for holding terrorists at Guantanamo. Russia, though, takes the cake. Here is a government apparently run by ex-KGB agents who have no problem blackmailing whole countries by turning the crank on their oil pipelines. They're not doing anything shady, they say. They cant help it if their opponents are so notoriously accident-prone. Criticize these guys and you might accidentally drink a cup of tea laced with a few million dollars worth of deadly, and extremely rare, radioactive poison. Oppose the Russian leadership, and you could trip and fall off a tall building or stumble into the path of a bullet."
That the Democrats don't like that should tell you everything you wanted to know about why they shouldn't be in the White House.
TV Producer Stephen Cannel told the LA Times if the racism attack "is all they can find to say about him, then they've hit a new low." I guess it's official then -- the Dems have hit a new low.
I wish fred would declare so we could get the show on the road.
Democrats would hit anything that moves. Just ask Bill Clinton, Ted Kennedy and Barney Frank.
Did he play the title role in the Robert Byrd Story?
And they should take serious issue with it. It was brilliant and makes the Democrats look stupid.

Please FReepmail jellybean if you want on/off this list. WARNING: This ping list is EXTREMELY active. .
Good news. Fred now qualifies for the Sheets Byrd Lifetime Achievement Award in Acting.
And Giuliani and Gingrich.
What was your point again? :/
I guess they figured there no sense focusing on Rudy. Someone else is doing that for them.
If Jesus Christ Himself were running, the dems would villify Him. Probably complain that He was weak on a woman's right to choose. And then there was that whole "turning water into wine" thing.
***GASP!!!*** Can you imagine that? Engaging in perfectly normal behavior for a human being. What's wrong with him?
I guess that's just beyond the comprehension of liberals.
If that's the worst they can dig up on him, we have a winner.
The slimey Dems are afraid of Fred — that is why that are attacking him.
Even if he did, the MSM would peg Thompson as the racist. LOL
This is almost comical.........
Is it true what I heard today? Fred won’t announce until July?
I long ago gave up trying to calculate whether Democrats have or haven't hit new lows.
My calculator always barfs when I tell it to compare negative infinity to negative infinity.
Exactly! A republican who plays a racist on television is a bad guy, but a racist who is a high-ranking democrat official—that’s just honky dory. I know—let’s name a few hundred buildings in West Virginia after the guy.
"Tell me my love, what else can you tell me of the plans of Israel and the US? But first, go put on your rag like a nice girl."
Washington, in general, is a “hitting” kinda town. The Republicans do it to, but they tend to resign when caught. Democrats, on the other hand, have come to see marital infidelity and promiscuity as resume enhancers.
BIG Deal I saw Ronald Reagan smack around Pepper Andrerson in B Movie once
Do I think Ronnie was Ike TURNER HELL NO
