Fred Thompson's handlers have tough [kook heckler] questioner ejected
RenewAmerica.us ^ | July 27, 2007 | RenewAmerica staff

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.

I know. "As credible as any other 'news source'" is setting the bar remarkably low.

“RenewAmerica.us” - not really a credible news source, is it?

Nope. They're a bunch of psychos.

I found it very interestng how trained some of these protestors are. Certainly Code Pink has the finest boot camp around for this type of thing...Don't touch me, sir...death scream..don't touch me!

So she yells '9-11 was an "inside job"? BUt she also yells "You're not a REAL Conservative" too?!?

So she basically gives up the Liberal playbook, where the goal will be to discredit his conservativism. So the LA Times story two weeks ago was just the first in a series of this crap..much of it yet to come..from Leftie/MSM. Anyhooo, Grassy knoll liberals...gotta love 'em

March of the Rats has begun.

RenewAmerica is Alan Keye’s Web site. It is at most, a blog and possible campaign site.

You are the Site Admin for the discussion board there, and apparently, you are a 9/11 Truther, too, since you recommend that people watch “Loose Change”:

[Nan48] Have you seen the Loose Change video? If you watch it, you might change your mind: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=7866929448192753501&q=loose+change+recut

I ran across their latest release just two days ago.

What can you expect from a Paulista or a Renew America article about it? Neither are worth the powder it would take to blow them to hell.

Remember what I said the other day... about the lady escorted out of an event for asking Hillary a tough question?

I object to having the heading changed unfairly and inaccurately [”kook heckler”]. The woman was not a heckler. She did not begin “protesting” until AFTER she was being forcibly removed for doing nothing wrong.

Fred was answering the question and she kept rudely interupting with her comments.

Sounds like a "kook heckler" to me.

I would characterize that as, at the very least, a remarkable coincidence.

Anyone who thinks 9/11 was an inside job is by definition a "kook" and shouldn't be allowed anywhere near any presidential contender - Republican or Democrat.

I dunno, she rattled off the kook stuff pretty quickly. She definitely didn't think about it for too long. And, we only have Her point of view video..we don't know what else was going on there from a different perspective, or before she the tape started rolling, or elsewhere in the building...

I say "Kook Heckler". Sorry.

No, my time here will probably not be short,because honest freedom of speech is welcome here,I believe that.

How dare you try to intimidate me and impugn what I say. Obviously freedom of speech means nothing to you,thus,you impugn yourself.

She wasn't a 'tough questioner'. She was a Ron Paul plant. Ronnie really ought to pull the plug on this nonsense since everyone knows his campaign is doing it. Kinda loses its effectiveness once the cat it out of the bag.
It's so obvious. So boring. So predictable.

RP, you can't get the nomination, but you might try getting a life.

He didn’t care about her distress at being touched and bullied physically. That’s what I got out of the video.

Yeah, we're sure that "distress and physical bullying" could get her an Oscar. Quick, somebody call Al Gore!

Don't touch me sir! SCREEEAAAAAM...Sir, stop grabbing me EEEEKKK AAAAAHH.

Spike1, was nice knowin you buddy. Buh BYE.
