Romney Campaign Tied to Anti-Thompson Site
Got any proof of that? I didn't think so
Sheesh. You "didn't think so."
You were correct with your words "I didn't think" and should have stopped there.
Novak: Fred Thompson drop-out rumors traced to Romney campaign
But you sound like the kind of person that wouldn't admit being caught red handed if it was on videotape. Here is a FR thread discussing it:

Here is yet another:

Even more telling, Thompson stated "another campaign" planted that false story. The reporter tried to make him say on the air which campaign it was, and Thompson said the famous "I owe you nothing" line.
Everyone knows it was Romney. But his handling of the question just shows how much more class and integrity Thompson has than Mitty.
Fred to MSM: 'I Owe You Nothing'
With regards to the rest of the Romney sleaze machine, they have been busy:
>>But this being the high political season, full of dirty tricksters of every political stripe, there was no word on who exactly traced the whispers about Thompson to the Romney campaign.
Your Proof. Lets see we have rumors that were supposedly traced "in part" to Romney. Well where did the other "parts" trace to? Why are we not told. Then we are told that there is no source for the rumors.
What next for us proof of the 9/11 Government coverup from someone who heard something from soemone but can't remember who that someone was.
On your other link Fred himself does not name Romney but blames the media.
>>>"Fred Thompson today blasted the media for propagating a false rumor about his impending withdrawal"
The phony Fred site was from September and was taken down the same day it was put up. I went to the site back in September and it wasn't much of a hit site. It did have jokes about Fred and showed him dressed up as one of our Faounding Fathers. Not much of a "hit" pic.
Now your proof of the push calls comes from the "Huffington Post." Any other Ariani Huffington crap you want to perpetuate on FR? Sam Stein is a flaming lib as well who supports Ted Kennedy.
>>>of the prominence and access of its contributors, the HuffPost regularly publishes scoops of current news stories, otherwise providing links to selected prominent news stories, providing a left-of-center counterpoint to the link-heavy style of The Drudge Report.
The real question here is why a supposedly conservative FReeper believes the lies of the Huffington post and is trying to make a conspiracy case by going beyond what Novak and Thompson have both said on the matter.
It was Romney that planted that false story to "The Politico" on the day of the Iowa Caucus that Thompson was quitting the race.
In the mean time, your meritless condescension is duly noted.
Bob Novak has no experience or credibility! What - 50 years? Sheesh - what a newbie.
You wanted "proof." I guess you wanted pictures and FBI surveillance tape.
I posted, what - seven links? You posted in your reply your own personal opinion.
Gotcha.
We have a "Big Talker" who asks for "proof" - and when presented with evidence, you impugn, ridicule, and marginalize.
Everyone knows Romney's campaign is dirty - and plays dirty. I, like you, believe in everything Mitt Romney says - including Gun Control and being "pro-choice." I like that word - "choice" - so nonjudgmental.
Yup - those Romney folks are just the pillar of the campaign.
Dirty tricks by the Romney campaign?
Romney Adviser Linked to Anti-Thompson Internet Site
By the way - WATCH THIS VIDEO.
In the mean time, your meritless condescension is duly noted.
Duly noted.
It was Romney that planted that false story to "The Politico" on the day of the Iowa Caucus that Thompson was quitting the race.
As for the other allegations you posted, none have anything to do with your claim. Care to try again?
What I am asking is why you are going beyond what he said? He said some rumors say it was Romney. And there is no source for those rumors. IOW, Novak himself admits there is no proof.
At least you are learning, I see you haven't linked Arianna Huffington again. The rest of the new links you provide are much ado about nothing. Some Romney supporter holding a sign did something worng. Whoo hoo. Is it going to keep you up at night? Someone in our town is stealing my neighbors Ron Paul signs. Sure its wrong and theft. But he isn't losing any sleep over the matter, he just puts up another one. If one Romney supporter can get you in such a lurch, life must be tough.
Interesting advice from someone who defends the conspiracy theories of Ariana Huffington. What next Dick Cheney is going to take over the world with Haliburton?
Oh give me a break!
I posted seven links - and yes - one was from the Huffington post.
I noticed you didn't want to comment on the other six.
What about those? .......................

OK - I see.
But since you are so inclined, let's do so.
Just because you don't agree with everything from any site you and I don't find Conservative does not make everything automatically false.
If this were the case, then CNN's coverage of 911 would be "false" because it came from CNN.
If you want to twist yourself into this infinite loop - be my guest.
The truth is - Romney's campaign acted like thugs - and you are reaching for any straw branch you can at this point.
