Anti-Thompson Website Linked To Romney Campaign
Via The Washington Post:
A top adviser to former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney appears to be behind today's launch of a new Web site attacking GOP presidential rival Fred Thompson.
The site, www.phoneyfred.org, paints an unflattering picture of Thompson, dubbing him: Fancy Fred, Five O'clock Fred, Flip-Flop Fred, McCain Fred, Moron Fred, Playboy Fred, Pro-Choice Fred, Son-of-a-Fred and Trial Lawyer Fred. [View an image of the Web site]
Shortly after a Washington Post reporter made inquiries about the site to the Romney campaign, the site was taken down.
Before it vanished, the front page of the website featured a picture of a regal Thompson dressed in a frilly outfit more befitting a Gilbert and Sullivan production than a presidential campaign. Under the heading, "Playboy Fred," the site asks the question: "Once a Pro-Choice Skirt Chaser, Now Standard Bearer of the Religious Right?"
Nowhere on the site does it indicate who is responsible for it. But a series of inquiries leads directly to the website of Under the Power Lines, the political consulting firm of Warren Tompkins, Romney's lead consultant in South Carolina. Read more...
The longer the campaign drags out, the more the GOP candidates look like a bunch of inept, Keystone Cops. They can't even figure out how to properly attack each other anonymously on teh tubes. Be sure to click on the above link to see the image of the now-defunct website -- they actually refer to Thompson as "Pimp Fred." Hat tip and more on this story from Howie...
bunch of losers
Should we reset our 'dirty tricks' counter back to zero for the '08 campaign?

The funny thing is, they don't even need the lame photoshop garbage, the facts of his life are damaging enough. Being based in South Carolina, I'm surprised they didn't give him an illegitimate black child.
Well I certainly hope he "distances" himself from this outrage...
After Rove's maestroing of the idiot to two terms, it's really hard to believe every single GOP Pres campaign is so inept and amatuerish. They've always lied, cheated, broke every law possible, win at all costs, but they also used to always manage to not get caught at least not until after they had won and there was no longer enough public interest in the fact that they cheated to win that they would get away with it.
Now they can't even manage the simplest of smaers for more than a few hours before the jig is up. lol!
sort of ot, to too sweet to not pass alog:
"Coulter and Rudy" sittin' in a tree ...

Jesus, republicans really are technically challenged. Did they actually believe no one would track this back to Romney? God Bless America.
"Pro-choice skirtchaser"?
I might use that as my own campaign slogan.
So will the MSM jump all over this, just like the allegation that Clinton attacked Obama's campaign?
* crickets *
It seems all it took was a few minutes. A few clicks to who.is and voilà! What an idiot.
And it was "specifically the work of Romney consultant Warren Tompkins, who you may remember as the guy President Bush hired to axe John McCain back in the South Carolina primary back in 2000."
EMPY @ 3:
Mitt's saving that one for the week before the primary.

What's a "MOMA"?
Um, if Mitt loses to Fred, I'll be happy to maintain the site for them. I'm all about volunteering.

A sic product of a red state public education.
JoeyJohnnyDeeDee&Marky @ 12:
What do you expect? It's from the same group of people with poor punctuation who spell morons as "morans".
A MOMA is what a moran calls its mother.
Even TDS couldn't make stuff up that's this funny. I can't wait for a repug debate that includes Fred.
I still won't be able to watch it but it will be entertaining anyway.

PNAAC Minister @ 17:
So far, Fred will only debate on late night talk shows where he's the only guest.
Blue Buddha @ 15:
Excellent link! Thanks!
Blue Buddha @ 19:
You might say he debates with the public en masse, or in other words . .
Nasty,naughty,bad future god flunky.
JoeyJohnnyDeeDee&Marky @ 20:
Yes, it sort of reminds me of Middle English writing, when most of the people were illiterate because only the wealthy could afford scribed books due to a lack of printing presses. Punctuation was non-existent (an invention of the printing press, BTW), and often times words were spelled differently, even within the same text. They really do want us to return to the Dark Ages.
Haha, Mitmo calling someone a phony !! who woulda thunk it.
Mitt's a looser because he can only buy people's support.
Really honourable, those Republicans. Nothing like stabbing fellow party members in the back, and breaking rule #1 of "dear leader" Ronald Ray-gun: "Never attack a fellow Republican." They love him, but don't remember a thing about him.
I have to admit-Fred looks lovely in lipstick.
Here's a link to several of the shenanigans pulled on behalf of Romney:

No worries, though, Mitt has "distanced" himself from every one of his loyal minions. No dirt on his magic undies.
Edwin @ 25:
Hell, with their short-term memories (Gonzo, Bush... and even Ray-gun himself) it's a miracle they remembered what happened last week.
Romney is such a sleazy character. He has to have a lock on the nomination. He's every thing the right loves. A weird, plastic, brainless, stab-in-the-dark sociopath. I was thinking the appalling stupidity, cowardice, and pure fakery of Thompson would cinch it but this guy is so perfectly Republican, how can they pass him up?
Yeah, Old Mitt believes in the time tested Republic way to win
elections...
Slime the opponent!
Personally, Can't wait till this crew heads down south, and they all
start knifing each other in the back.....
IMO, Thompson and his pack of FREDnecks are the most dangerous of the bunch! He appeals to the most brainless, knuckledragging snake-handler elements of the GOP voters. Fred Thompson in the Oval Office will make us MISS the good old days of Dubya!
He actually thinks the reason why Bush lost the battle to ruin Social Security was because he wasn't BRUTAL AND RUTHLESS enough. He even wants to slash the benefits of those CURRENTLY on Social Security (even Dubya isn't that heartless and insane). Just great! Millions of elderly and disabled people struggling to make ends meet with the meager amount they get to survive on each month, and this arrogant thug wants to deprive them of even MORE.
Do we really want this Hillbilly Mussolini to win in '08?
Ozguy @ 7:
I might use it for the name of my next band.
L O L
Romney's people calling Fred a flip/flopper?
The only question is who will pander more? Romney or Thompson?
[Edwards' bloggers] Don't worry, Romney doesn't have anything to worry about. He's not John Edwards. [/Edwards' bloggers]
But then again, Romney is the Republican with the least chance of winning, so they may go after him.
Blue Buddha @ 23:
She must be the moma of this moran http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lj3iNxZ8Dww
I briefly followed a hillbilly's pick-up truck today in Los Angeles with a "Thompson/Romney 2008" bumper sticker on the tailgate. How funny!
It is fun when rattlesnakes turn on each other.
What is this some kind of new sitcom? Are these guys really this lame? Pathetic...
Edwin @ 25:
But they aren't attacking republicans. They are attacking neo-cons masquerading as republicans.
mouth-breather on mouth-breather crime
[...] Thompson. At least I am not the only one that doesn’t like him. Evidently the Romney campaign put up an anti-Thompson website that has since been taken down, but [...]
I love it when the sharks start eating their own. There's something particularly funny to me about these thugs playing dirty tricks upon each other. It kinda places everything in its true perspective: the only thing that matters to these dirtbags is personal power. Everything else is secondary. They'll go feeding frenzy cannibal on each other on order to get power.
jr.@ 40 nailed it.
Why do all the republicant's candidates wear make-up and lace now?
Down south they'd hear cries of ain't they purty!
Look out for the dueling banjo music.
