No doubt, which is why he will be nominated, elected and then re-elected by the whole country, like the current village idiot, while the Naderites, Netroots, and far-left of the Dem party are still looking for their idealogically-pure candidate (with Feingold and Wellstone) before they can vote for a Democrat!

What kind of soldier were you, Fred?
Oh, never mind.
Maybe he thinks the dittoheads will send him money now.

He went on to say, "I mean, the real troops. Not the phony ones that are against the war."

Who cares about "phony soldiers"? Here's the recipe: "Rush is a dirty, whoring, third-world sex tourist. Why else would he bring along contraband Viagra when he goes on a weekend fling to the Dominican Republic?"

Repeat ad nauseam, until the Family Values crowd understands.

It's nap time for Grandpa Fred. He lost me at a hello with that comment about Rush.

Well, having spent more time as a phony lawyer than an actual legislator, Fred would be an expert on all this, wouldn't he?

I wonder if Fred was disqualified from military service because he, too, had a cyst on his ass, just like Rush.

Does he know that he is supposed to be "out of character" now and not acting, or is he getting senile like Reagan. Maybe his girlfriend should help him out how Nancy did with Ronald or he can get some cue cards.

Pnadering is one thing, but illiterate pandering I will not take. Can someone please get this clown a script writer?

If Rush is one of "strongest" supporters of our troops, I am guessing that means he can lift a car clean over his head, or maybe tear a telephone book in half?

Or maybe it means Rush has not one, but two of those yellow "stickers" on his imported car. You know, the magnetic kind he can remove and not damage the paint on his very expensive car, hat only added to our trade imbalance. Some support there, jackass.

I think this is important to deal with because this government has created a permanent divisiveness, a permanent state of war between people in our own society. Thompsen is a tool of that, as is Limbaugh. It is a right wing movement tactic taken to it's utmost extreme in a society that once extolled commonality and fair play. To change our world we must relegate people like Limbaugh to the dustbin of history. He is a hateful, divisive, uninformed and unintelligent pawn in the political game. He has no business addressing our troops on the radio.

Let's open up the channels between all Americans. Work to unite people for common good.

end the divisiveness, change our world

oh man ... well another one bites the dust.

that makes at least two that have crashed and burned right out of the hanger.

what was that that that man...er I mean Barbara Bush, said? Pretty sorry bunch. of course being a Republican means never having to say you're sorry.

billyjoe wrote on October 3, 2007 3:44 PM:

Sad fact is, Fred Thompson has to make statements like this. He can't afford to get on Rush's bad side and remain a viable candidate for the Republican nomination.

He'll be back on the farm in a few months. What a toad.

Peter Formaini wrote on October 3, 2007 3:47 PM:

" I wonder who General Petraeus and his troops think is most supportive."

I wonder when Mr. Thompson is going to complete a remedial course in grammar?

It's 'more', Tommiekins, not 'most'. The choice is between 2 entities (though I can understand the urge to count Mr. Blimpaugh as more than one.)

bob wrote on October 3, 2007 3:58 PM:

It's so dumb to release a statement like that. It just makes him look like a giant idiot. Is Rush really going to talk him up on the radio show now?

Everyone knows that Rush supports the troops only in the sense that he supports more of them dying in the middle of a civil war in Iraq.

Broken Bottle wrote on October 3, 2007 4:12 PM:

Thompson is sounding more and more douchey every day. THIS GUY is supposed to be the great Republican hope for the 2008 elections? I hope it was worth the wait for them...

OxyCon wrote on October 3, 2007 4:13 PM:

It's always a good thing when Grandpa Freddie reveals his true right wing extremist behavior, rather than conceal it the way Bush did.
America overwhelmingly rejects Rush Limpbaugh and Freddie just hitched his wagon to the drag addicted nut case.

Marc wrote on October 3, 2007 4:14 PM:

Fred Thompson is a total loser, has always been a total loser and, by looking at his fundraising and the general sense of apathy he inspires, will continue to be a total loser.

ACF wrote on October 3, 2007 4:15 PM:

I think Thompson thinks he's still fighting for the Red October. He reminds me of the actor, Gerald McRaney (sp?), the former 'Major Dad' Marine, who was hopping up and down in Florida, bashing Bill Clinton's lack of military service, when it was let out that, oops, he had never been in the service, either, he only play acted that he was. He was never heard from again after that. As for Thompson, try as I might, I can't get into the head of anyone who would think highly of what he said, support him, or believe in it. What's the matter with these people?

chimp wrote on October 3, 2007 4:17 PM:

Poor Fred. He probably had such high hopes for elevating his campaign without having to get in the pigpen. Now he's slinging up mud as if it were hash. Dead-head Fred must be looking forward to his appearance on the Rush show where the two of them can rehash their collective military experiences - oh, wait - that wouldn't be very good radio. Programmers tend to frown on dead air.

Ebenezer wrote on October 3, 2007 4:20 PM:

Supposedly, Thompson got a deferment from Vietnam because he had children. That excuse doesn't work well today, at least not for those parents obligated to serve in the Iraq occupation. So he, Rush, George II, Cheney, and many other chicken hawks pushing this war are in the same boat.

I'd be interested in what Thompson would say about Obey's Iraq war tax proposal. Would Thompson be offended because he was being asked to share the sacrifice in Iraq? Perhaps he'll say that sharing the sacrifice is an insult to our military and General Petraeus.

Redshift wrote on October 3, 2007 4:22 PM:

Freddie once again demonstrates why "Fred Thompson Knows Nothing" is the all-purpose headline for stories about his campaign.

Legalize wrote on October 3, 2007 4:26 PM:

You can always count on the manifest stupidity of GOPers to appear when they feel like they have to defend one of their own gasbag mouthpieces.

McCoy wrote on October 3, 2007 4:35 PM:

"He [Rush] is one of the strongest supporters of our troops, yet Democrats claim he is not being strong enough. I wonder who General Petraeus and his troops think is most supportive."

Well since you only broadcast Rush to our troops - why not let them hear both sides and let THEM decide?

Rush does not support the troops - he supports Bush....a man who wants to turn America into a polic state so he can bring Democracy to Oil-soaked Iraq.

Throw the bums out.

dkm wrote on October 3, 2007 4:37 PM:

I have to call Kelly Burnett on her comment about the attractiveness of mud fences. Comparing them with Mr. Thompson is a low-down slam on mud fences. Adobe looks better than Mr. Thompson ever thought of being, even with corrective surgery.

dkm wrote on October 3, 2007 4:41 PM:

"I wonder who General Petraeus and his troops think is most supportive."

When you remember that it is the Democrats who are pushing to fully fund the VA, to reverse Bush's pay cuts for the military, to bring the troops home before more are killed and wounded (well, some Democrats are, just not enough and not the right ones), while Limbaugh can't understand why keeping the troops alive is important, I think the answer to that question is obvious.

boonsorama wrote on October 3, 2007 7:32 PM:

Rush is just the best; I love how he stuck it to that shrapnel head soldier, who got injured by a suicide bomber, by calling HIM a suicide bomber. LMGAO. Then he implies the guy is stupid and can't read. He implies he not only has to have Rush's words read to him, but he has to be told what to think about it afterwards. Now that's how you deal with a libtard! Good show, Rush. You are number one.

anna missed wrote on October 3, 2007 7:44 PM:

I'm pretty sure that the first utterance of the phrase General Betray-us came from the troops in Iraq themselves - after Petraeus started putting them on small bases in Baghdad.

heh wrote on October 3, 2007 10:15 PM:

Grampa Fred, geez he always looks grumpy.

Give him a rocker on the porch, let the sad man live his last days in peace, waiting for another script on the set.

He's just past his moment as president material, even John McCain has more spunk at the Straight Talk Express, or what is it called now?

Jackson wrote on October 3, 2007 10:41 PM:

I'm afraid this old geezer will not live much longer as it looks like his cancer is coming back and he's in the first stages of dementia. We already went through that with Reagan. Please--not again--NEVER AGAIN!
