FRED THOMPSON

Your Guide to the Anonymous Fred Attack Sites

Hm.

On June 2, some anonymous critic of Fred Thompson sets up "Fred Thompson's Private Journal," writing faux journal entries that portray the former senator as a vile manipulator bragging of his ability to "sell a comb to a bald man" and consistent references to "my hot wife."

On June 8, Kansans for Life set up "Conservatives Against Fred Thompson." (In 2002, Kansans for Life's Political Action Committee gave $5000 to Sam Brownback's Restore America PAC. This does not indicate that Brownback or his campaign is behind the site, but it might give us a sense of the preferred candidate of Kansans for Life.)

June 16, some anonymous critic of Fred Thompson sets up "The Anti-Fred" at knoxpooley.blogspot.com. (Knox Pooley was the name of the white supremacist villain who FDT played on Wiseguy a long while back; I thought only Los Angeles Times writers were dumb enough to mix up fiction and non-fiction.)

On June 22, some critic of Fred Thompson named "Mike" creates http://i-am-with-fred.blogspot.com. This site oddly simultaneously argues, "John McCain is a better candidate than Fred Thompson" and "The only thing that distinguishes Fred from Mccain is his drawl."

Boy, funny how all these anonymous sites crop up within a few weeks, huh?
