On July 25, a Texas woman was forcibly removed by handlers of Fred Thompson who is being groomed by Bush administration insiders to replace the president for asking Thompson to explain his membership in the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) during a question and answer session at Houston's Hobby Airport.
The woman pressed Thompson to justify the CFR's backing of the controversial North American Union plan set in motion by President Bush and the leaders of Mexico and Canada in March 2005. The CFR has been instrumental in laying the groundwork for the NAU and related initiatives such as the Security and Prosperity Partnership.
Thompson responded, "I didn't know they were up to that . . . . There's several conservatives over the years that have been members of the Council on Foreign Relations. I try to learn as much as I can from all viewpoints."
The woman asked no further questions and remained silent as she resumed video-recording the public interview. A few moments later the video reveals she can be heard to say, "Do not touch me," as someone apparently grabbed her arm and attempted to pull her back.
Three minutes later, she can be heard to say in surprise, "Do not touch me, sir. I've not done anything wrong." She then appears to be pulled from behind, and upon breaking free, turns toward Thompson and indignantly exclaims, "Sir, they're asking me to leave. You were a lobbyist for 18 years. You're not a real conservative, sir. What do you think about World Trade Center 7 it was an inside job. What do you think about . . . ." At that moment, she says to someone, "Don't grab me! Why are you touching me?"
A man can be heard responding, "They want you to leave." The woman is then forced out of the building by police officers called in to assist, while she protests the aggressive behavior of those dragging her forcibly out. At least three times, she yells, "Get off of me," and then says, "Get your hands off of me," as she is escorted to the sidewalk.
All of this is posted at YouTube and directly contradicts the misleading accounts reported by CNN and NBC.
“glad to hear hear he tossed the bitch”
A person using her first amendment protected right,that’s who you are calling a bitch and saying that you are glad he tossed her.
He skates around so slick,doesn’t he? He hasn’t declared yet,but he’s stumping.
Why would a freedom loving person want to silence the woman who questioned him?
Guess inherent rights don’t mean much to him.
Seems like he’s another of the elite who don’t answer to the people. He didn’t care about her distress at being touched and bullied physically. That’s what I got out of the video.
There’s no question that the Bush administration is grooming Fred for president, and has been from the beginning. Please examine the links attached to the article.

You have to start reading the marching orders sent out every day by Rush... Don't you know we've been grooming candidates forever? Clearly you're not doing Your Part™ of the VRWC® movement!

If I suspect “more of the same”, I won’t have any part of it.
Hillary’s handlers ARE the MSM.
The CFR has been instrumental in laying the groundwork for the NAU and related initiatives such as the Security and Prosperity Partnership.
Thompson responded, “I didn’t know they were up to that . . . 88888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888
Uh.....sorry freddie......I don’t believe you.
The woman is then forced out of the building by police officers...
So the police are now Fred Thompson handlers? She wasn't ejected when she asked her question in the question and answer session (as I recall from an earlier recitation of this "event")...it was only when she accosted Thompson in the hall. She any relation to Michael Moore, she is as kooky?
What is wrong with Fred Thompson and his handlers?
Nothing. It’s good to see an authoritarian with some backbone.
decided. Thanks for encouraging me to watch it.
Your time here is going to be very short little troll, but you know that already.
No. People in the Bush administration are looking for their next gig.
You know, there are Republicans who supported Bush and some of these Republicans now support Thompson, therefore Thompson is Bush, or something to that effect. Guilt by association once removed.
Is that what the original title was?
RenewAmerica is as credible as any other “news source.” On what basis would you suggest that other sources are more credible, and what sources would you have in mind that American conservatives should trust more than RenewAmerica?
Certainly, not CNN or NBC, whose reports of this incident the article debunks with demonstrable facts.
That’s the issue. The value of the article is not that RenewAmerica wants anybody to believe what RenewAmerica says, regarding this incident or its claim that Bush insiders are behind the “Fred phenomenom.” The article merely cites (and draws from) other sources—and leaves the reader to decide for himself. That’s not a credible thing for a news source to do?
>I object to having the heading changed unfairly
you might be surprised at how little I care.
>What is wrong with Fred Thompson and his handlers? Thats the issue.
Nothing. That is the answer.
Ummm, Fred is a Republican like Bush. In fact Bush is the President of the United States. There of course will be people who worked for Bush who are gonna work for other candidates, they are Republicans. They aren't Bush goons. And the CFR crap is non-sense, if you really understand what CFR is and what it isn't.
“You know, there are Republicans who supported Bush and some of these Republicans now support Thompson, therefore Thompson is Bush, or something to that effect. Guilt by association once removed.”
I bought bread last week at Krogers. Today I bought bread at Walmart. Therefore I am grooming Walmart to be Krogers.
I know it makes no sense...but the logic is identical.
I watched the video,there was no trouble until she started acting up.
>RenewAmerica is as credible as any other news source.
LOL! Hahahahahehehe, oh, I’m going to bed now. Bawhahahaha.. heheh hah.
