NEWS: Fuck Fred Thompson

Please indentify what policies specifically Hillary has implemented or proposed that would categorically switch America's economic system from capitalist to socialist-based if you are going to use this qualifier. kthxbye.

Kinda like all those overly-liberal actors? I'm pretty sure there are more well-known liberal actors than conservative ones.

Another brilliant and insightful response by FTR.

Ok, I really don't like Hillary, and it kinda sounds like you don't either, but beyond that, I have no clue what you just said.

I tend to think he gets drunk *then* writes them.

You kind of just made the point for him, Corky.

I'll give you some pretty damn socialist-sounding quotes by her:

"Many of you are well enough off that ... the tax cuts may have helped you," Clinton said, according to the Associated Press. "We're saying that for America to get back on track, we're probably going to cut that short and not give it to you.
"We're going to take things away from you on behalf of the common good."

"...because an uninsured person who goes to the hospital is more likely to die than an insured person. I mean, that is a fact. So what do we do? We have to build a political consensus. and that requires people giving up a little bit of their own turf in order to create this common ground. The same with energy. You know, we can't keep talking about our dependence on foreign oil and the need to deal with global warming and the challenge that it poses to our climate and to God's creation and just let business as usual go on, and that means something has to be taken away from some people."

She also worked as a law clerk for a lawyer for the US Communist Party. That doesn't necessarily tell you her position, but I doubt she would have done that if she were opposed to communism.

This is all just from a few minutes on Google. I'm sure there's much more evidence that she at the very least leans toward the socialist/communist side of things.

No one is going to try to pass legislation turning the US into a socialist country all at once. That doesn't mean there aren't socialists in government trying to move the government in that direction.

See my comment were rooted in slightly disturbing facts. Kthxbye

Um.

No.

It is good that Mcain will not happen:

So a concern for the common good = socialism/Marxism? I mean, "the common good" is a pretty common political tradition. In fact, it's one of the central tenets of republicanism too - the idea of sacrifice, of being bonded to the collective whole. I dunno. I'm not convinced. But I'm a lefty schmuck.

Jesus, Hillary is SUCH a socialist:

This is the new Republican collective attack on Hillary. It is quite simply, a load of shit. Lemmings like Thrash242 buy right into it.

Unless you think "free markets" refers to socialism.

Ok maybe socialist was harsh, but the woman is rife with controversy and childishly refuses to admit she voted for the war in Iraq. It would be so much better if we had the saner and less contradictory democrat candidate like Obama.

Not just harsh, but pretty damn stupid.

Of course Hillar is controversial. Go look up FTR's "Fuck Hillary Clinton" thread, part of this very series. He dumped on her from a great height.

But your current president is a big-spending socialist, if we're judging by government as a share of total spending, or by public debt accumulation.

Necessary Roughness was great! Thompson was all, You're fired," at the end, talking to the Dean guy, after he'd gotten plowed by the players just after they won the game. Man, man I wish I could get me some of the Bakula-Sinbad grid-iron glory right now. If I could any amendment I wanted to, it'd be that anyone who was in Necessary Roughness would automatically get to be president.

Oh, and Kathy Ireland was my dream girl for oh so many youthful years.

Great movie. Great Movie.

Socialism FOREVER! I wanna move to Sweden.

Yeah I know Dubyah has wracked up a huge debt. When will we get a president that tackles that issue, the debt, in my opinion the single thing that will make or break our country in the next twenty to fifty years. All be I think the war was a necessary if distasteful evil and I would prefer if we could get the closest thing to a resolution there. Of course it is costing us way to much to fund this war, I do not see how we can keep it up with out completely crippling our nation in the next twenty years, just like after Vietnam our country took a leap into the economic shitter. Honestly I feel that the heart of any government and its successes are based on its economic policies, and the US just isn't doing so well.

Fuck you, not Ronald Reagan the man gave amnesty a chance, prevented the cold war and was a strong leader when our nation was in desperate need of one. Who would you rather have had at that time? Ted Kennedy? Dukakis? Jesse Jackson? Jimmy Carter he was the right man for the job. I agree about Thompson, but you are way out of line dissing Reagan the way you did.

That's Republican Socialism for you.

Reagan did it before him.

I predict that will happen in 1993.

(with flying cars and lightsabers by 2000!)

Reagan bottlefed G.W. They're both idiots.

SPOILERS! (Click to view)

That is so fucking wrong but is so damned funny as well. You my friend are one sick bastard, how dare you exploit Bonzo like this.

Not likely, Monte. Fred is just as much a warhawk as the rest of the GOP cabal. I dont trust Fred for one minute. Thats why its so important to take away the Republican Party from the neocons. Ron Paul is the only one who is not a neocon and offers something different.

Well, we could always repeal the 22nd Amendment, then reelect Clinton, or possibly Carter - the only two living ex-presidents to have actually reduced the National Debt.

Or, at least don't elect a Republican. They haven't done so well lately.

Good synopsis, FTR. But I've heard all of this for weeks from Thom Hartman and Stephanie Miller on their radio shows.

You might want to expound on what Haitian President Jean-Bertrand Aristide was like. This guy advocated "necklacing" political opponents by filling a tire with gasoline, putting it around a victims head and lighting it on fire. He called it a "beautiful thing". Not to mention that he was also a communist, America-hating dictator. What on Earth was Fred Thompson having to do anything with this guy?!

Neocon conservatives are burying their heads in the sand for this Fred guy. For example, every right-wing talk-host from Rush to Hannity condemns the McCain-Feingold bill (and imo, rightly so) as unconstitutional abridgement of first-amendment protected speech. Fred Thompson supported it.

Fred Thompson also supports CFR which is the spearhead for the NAU. Bush has been getting flak from both conservatives and progressives over this NAU business. Fred is following in Bush's footsteps. Its hard to really find ANY difference between Fred and Bush, besides that Fred can act like a strong leader on TV.

Fred must be exposed. We must take away the GOP from neocons!
