Have you visited www.phoneyfred.org yet? That's the anti-Fred Thompson website that spends a lot of time name-calling good ole boy Fred. Those damn moveon.org commie liberals are at it again!
Well, actually not. It appears that Republican Presidential candidate Mitt Romney is behind it. Unfortunately, the website has now been taken down since ole Mitt has been exposed, but I'm sure it will be found in the memory hole somewhere. Mitt decided it would be a good idea to hire consultant Warren Tompkins. That's the same guy Bush used to smear John McCain in South Carolina back in 2000.
UPDATE: Mitt says his campaign had nothing to do with Phoney Fred, but they took down the website. Here is the link to the google cache of Phoney Fred. The funniest thing about the Phoney Fred website is that the Romney campaign made a big deal out of Thompson being a flip-flopper.
Since I mentioned the evil moveon.org above I need to say that I did not completely support the NYT moveon.org sponsored ad which refered to Gen. Petraeus as Gen. Betray us (although you can argue the actual text of the ad was accurate). Progressives really should leave tactics of smearing veterans to Republicans. They have already shown what a good job they can do smearing such veterans as John McCain, John Murtha, John Kerry and Max Cleland.
I also thought the disruption of the committee hearings yesterday by members of code pink was counterproductive and that it was right to remove them from the room. But prosecuting protesters for exercising their right of free speech is a bit over the top.
