ABC's Christine Byun reports: Republican candidate Fred Thompson’s campaign is accusing rival Mike Huckabee’s campaign of more "dirty tricks" in South Carolina.
They say fliers with misleading information about the former Tennessee senator’s abortion record were placed on parked cars at their event venue last night (http://blogs.abcnews.com/politicalradar/2008/01/thompson-lets-g.html). The fliers insinuate Thompson voted for funding for abortions through a bill that supported Planned Parenthood. Thompson –- who has received the endorsement of national anti-abortion organization National Right to Life –- did vote for the bill in question, H.R. 3061. However, the bill specifically states that it does not include federal funding for abortions and does not mention Planned Parenthood. The flier quotes Scripture –- Proverbs 31:8 –- and includes a picture of the former Senator.
"Sen. Thompson worked in the Senate to ensure that federal funds did not go to abortion," a Thompson campaign spokesman, who provided a copy of a flier, said.
Earlier this week, the Thompson campaign accused Huckabee supporters of push-polling calls.
“These deceptive tactics are yet another sad sign that Gov. Huckabee cannot engage in a substantive discussion of the important public policy issues facing our country,” Dean Rice, the South Carolina campaign manager, said in a written statement.
You skeered. HA HA HA HA HA HA
I am wondering how the Fred-heads will react when Fred drops out, and if he endorses McCain...?
What a stupid question.
But I’ll believe Fox News before I’ll believe ABC news.
I don’t believe either, and yours was stoopider than mine....
Surely YOU jest. Thompson’s campaign is not the blame America first campaign.
I bellieve the Huckster is the one that is a total clown and ignorant to foreign policy. He is the one who is into blaming America first.
Don’t make stuff up. It isn’t becoming and most FReepers know better.
For the record, HR 3061 is the MedicAid funding bill, and it does allow for funding abortions performed at Planned Parenthood.
So the author of the flyers was spinning.
That's Thompson's attack routine against Huckabee. Sounds just like something the Clintons would have dreamed up, don't you think?
bellieve=believe Sorry
Should be interesting to watch :)
As far as Huckabee hitting Fred..... I'd say it's live by the hatchet, die by the hatchet.
How could my question be stupider than your’s — I didn’t ask a question! Ha-Ha!
The “Blame America first” thing is Thompson’s tactic against Huckabee.
Why did Fred and not Huck get the Ntl Right to Life endorsement? Hm?
BUT...BUT...BUT... He’s a Christian!!!!
Don’t worry, Fred will be out of the race tomorrow, and they will be out of their pain that he is losing.
And into their pain that he lost!! ;-)
Not gonna happen. I got the answer last night from one of the Romney people. Fred wasn’t nice to Romney post Michigan so all bets are off. Nice, huh.
OK, you didn’t have a question mark. You made a proposition.
I laugh at your proposition! Ha!
Please, quit your lying. Huck was the one that apologized to Pakistan for Bhutto’s death, He then had to retract it because he showed what an idiot he is.
Thompson has said nothing about blaming the US first.
Since you keep pressing that fact, produce a link where Thompson has blamed America first.
It looks like Thompson is trying to spin disappointing exit polls results.
If the exit polls showed a Thompson surge, the headline would have read, "Dirty tricks can't keep Thompson down".
“Thompson campaign spokesman, who provided a copy of a flier,”
So, Fred Thompson’s campaign is spinning it, and that is why they supplied a copy of the flier to the reporters.
You have no proof and enjoy lying. The evidence is in the post. You can’t spin it when you provide the reporters a COPY OF THE FLIER. They can see for themselves.
Yep, he’s a cheese nose. Typical Huck supporter. Make the facts up as they go along because Huck’s a “Christian”.
Bible warned about following false people.
