A lot of people are atwitter over this addition to the Thompson advisory team of former Senator Spencer Abraham. But, it is starting to look to me like a story incorrectly reported by the MSM and rolling off track from there. It just seems that there are too many conflicting reports on Abraham's role with the AP reporting that he is a new "campaign manager" but others saying Randy Enwright is.
The website IsraelToday, for instance, has posted a story full of alarm over the addition of Spence to the team. Their reaction is similar to many Israel supporters here in the states, too. "Fred Thompson names anti-Israel ex-senator as campaign manager" their headline screams. They are very worried over Spence's past slights to Israel and for being "soft on Islamic terrorism."

The whole thing was a media plant story by the Rooty campaign. Wouldn’t surprise me if it doesn’t turn out to be what was “reported”.

Well, you know some of the 2nd- and 3rd-tier supporters love to use dirt—even if it’s wrong.

He should not have Spencer Abraham affiliated with his campaign in any capacity, even unofficial or unpaid.
Abraham is bad news.

If it is incorrect, then I guess Debbie and Michelle can take off their hysterical hissy fit suits.

Tell me what his title is and what he does. ..Nobody knows.. Let me ask you, is Thompson the laziest serious Presidential candidate, ever? Just wondering.
To: Theresawithanh
If it is incorrect, it will be interesting to see how they react publicly since they went public with reactions.

Why doesn’t the candidate come forward and clear all of this up?
This is part of the problem with Fred not officially being in the race yet.

If it is true it demonstrates Fred’s complete disregard for solid conservative principles, and if it is not, it shows the complete disarray that he and his team are in and proves that they are not ready for a national campaign. Add to that the footage I saw from his days as the Captain of an aircraft carrier where he basically panicked after the crash of a single aircraft, well it is obvious, this man is no where capable of being our CIC.
He will continue to poll in low numbers and fade into oblivion as time goes on.

Thanks.
LOL. You could have scripted some of these replies before you posted it. Backpedaling? Check. Not announced yet? Check. Lazy? Check.

It's because this is the media (and some Freeper's) rule of thumb.
