Do you know everything being done by your business partners, or co-workers?
You think that his partner, knowing the value of deniability, WOULDn’T set up this site without telling him, precisely to keep that deniability?
As soon as they were told about it, Romney acted to have the site taken down. Most people who know about the site ONLY know about it because of Fred Thompson supporters posting about it.
He acted quickly and decisively. He denounced the tactic.
Actually, it was the Washington Post that found and wrote about the smear site. And for it being not associated with the campaign, it somehow disappeared real fast once the Post contacted Romney's folks.
I guess that puts Tompkins in the ‘inept businessman’ category.
Yes, I knew what my business partners/co-workers were doing when it came to something affecting the business I was in. I worked with people of integrity I trusted. It’s not hard to find them if one looks close enough. Or, hard enough.
He was pretty dumb to do so using the firm's resources, that's for sure. (In the initial stories, someone posted info that the "phonyfred" site was hosted as a sub-domain to the consulting firm.)
There are anti sites out there on every candidate. In this day and age, it seems a little naive (and thin-skinned) not to expect it.
It is nothing compared to what the Clinton machine will dish out. If you can't stand the heat....
Wonder where all the articles are about Brownback's anti-Fred website?
Just like usual, anything Romney is treated with a double-standard by Fredheads.
He acted quickly and decisively. He denounced the tactic.
Brilliant, I conspire with someone to do something unethical and then I speak up and denounce it. Nobody would be smart enough to see right through this
No he didn't. He just claimed he wasn't responsible.
