September 5, 2007 -- A top adviser to Rudy Giuliani yesterday trashed rival Fred Thompson as an actor whose experience fighting crime is busting make-believe criminals on television. "Rudy is a real crime fighter," said Rep. Peter King (R-L.I.). "Fred Thompson has primarily done it on television." King, former chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee, is an adviser to Giuliani on national-security issues.

As you can see I favor Tancredo, but this would appear that Rudy and team are nervous regarding Fred.

I don't believe, in the long run, there's a dime's worth of difference between the two. Both are globalists and both belong to the elitist CFR along with the Clinton Duo and a host of leftists and RINOs.

[fweingart]

Actually you can’t see the tagline.

Call off your dogs, Rudy.

[mnehring]

I see Rudy is starting to worry..

[traderrob6]

You haven’t been paying attention. There’s a world of difference between Fred and Rooty. Would you consider Guiliana a Federalist?

[pissant]

There’s alot more than a dime’s worth of difference. I’m not a Fred guy, but Fred is not a liberal. Rudy is a gun-grabbing, open borders, abortion promoting, gay rights agenda guy.

...both belong to the elitist CFR along with the Clinton Duo and a host of leftists and RINOs.

As well as a lot of strong, died in the wool Conservatives including William F Buckley. BTW, Even your beloved Tom Tancredo has even done interviews, speeches and advisory for the CFR. Here are some examples of interviews or papers Tancredo has contributed to for the CFR:
http://www.cfr.org/publication/11141/
http://www.cfr.org/publication/11740/making_immigration_work.html
http://www.cfr.org/publication/11557/

Pretty much everyone in DC is a member of the CFR, they aren't the boogeyman that people make them out to be. They are a think tank that is hired to research and help draft policy papers on all sides of issues.

[TLI]

Rudy is a gun-grabbing, open borders, abortion promoting, gay rights agenda guy.

YEP! The G-man is a no-go.

[eastsider]

I like Peter King a lot, but I’m disappointed to hear that he’s taken to trash talking Fred. It a losing tactic to be using against a southern gentleman, and it only reinforces the perception that Rudy and the people he surrounds himself with are a gang of common thugs.

[HuntsvilleTxVeteran]

Rudy sure fits a democrat profile!

IT is for the murder of unborn babies!
IT is a big gun control nut!
IT covered for the invaders in ITS city!
IT surrounded ITself with thugs!

Why does IT have an R by ITS name instead of a D?

[FormerLib]

Rudy has to talk tough becuase he knows Fred’s going to kick his pro-abortion, gun-banning butt in the primaries

[NavyCanDo]

“I see Rudy is starting to worry..”

With Fred Thompson showing a commercial right before tonights debate -he’s afraid no one will even notice him.

[trisham]

I don't believe, in the long run, there's a dime's worth of difference between the two.

*************

What a bizarre statement.

[eastsider]

The conceit that trash talking is going to persuade conservatives that Rudy is one of them is laughable.

[Vaquero]

and when Rudy does show biz he shows this little bit of thespian kinkiness.

(Fred Thompson as Admiral Joshua Painter - Hunt for Red October)
Adm. Painter: What’s his plan?
Jack Ryan: His plan?
Adm. Painter: Russians don’t take a dump, son, without a plan.

What’s YOUR plan, Rudy?

"Fred Thompson has primarily done it on television."

Uhh... Thompson is a former Assistant US Attorney with an excellent track record. He also brought down a sitting governor as a private-practice lawyer as a result of a civil suit.

[Pistolshot]

Shhhhhh........don’t confuse him with facts. He has enough trouble supporting Tancredo. Must be frustrating looking up from the bottom.

[TLI]

"Fred Thompson has primarily done it on television." King,... is an adviser to Giuliani"

"Rudy got crime in New York City under control - not by acting, but by getting results. Rudy Giuliani has the real credentials," King added.

trashed rival Fred Thompson as an actor whose experience fighting crime is "busting make-believe criminals on television."

former Staten Island Borough President Guy Molinari, ripped Thompson for planning to skip the debate, saying, "Run or keep your mouth shut!"

Yep. They are scared of Fred. Fred does not do what the political machine dictates. Fred makes his own moves. Like the debate. He's not going, he is running a 30 second statement on TV that states what HE wants to say, not what MSM is trying to get him to say.

Pretty smart.

If NY’ers gain control of the party it’s over.
