Instead of relying on innuendo about a guy who will be a minor part of Thompson’s campaign, why not listen to what Thompson actually has to say about terrorism?

Unfortunately, Rob, actions sometime speak louder than words.  I would be interested to hear why Thompson selected this man.  I don’t think that the selection of a man who is an Islamic sympathizer will help his campaign.

You don’t have to be a moron to be a liberal Democrat but it sure helps.

Spencer Abraham isn’t even Thompson’s campaign manager.  He’s a campaign adviser.  Which isn’t exactly like appointing the guy Sec. of Defense.

Further, this is coming from Debbie Schlussel, who isn’t exactly the most dispassionate of commentators.  Read this run-in she’s had with the blogosphere in the past.

This is much ado about nothing.  What reason do we have to disbelieve Thompson’s statements about the war on terror?  His picking of Abraham as a campaign adviser?

Please.

Seems fairly straight forward. Abraham has a well documented history of support for Islam over America and western society. Fred has certainly laid his dick on the table to be smacked. Not too smart.

Rob, here is what has to say about Spencer Abraham.

In my 2002 book Invasion (p. 71, 76), I noted the open-borders obstructionism of former Sen. Spencer Abraham (R-Michigan), who fought to block the implementation of two different tracking databases–one for foreign student visa holders and the other for all temporary visitors (which was mandated by Section 110 of the 1996 Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act). Abraham led efforts to starve the first database of funding and crusaded several times to kill Section 110 altogether. On September 11, 2001, neither of those databases was in place. To this day, they remain incomplete.

Bad, bad move. If the Fred campaign is trying to win over grass-roots conservatives, this is a dumb way to do it.

Abraham was a consistent advocate of large-scale immigration and worked relentlessly to lessen immigration controls and regulations. In 1997 he received the “Defender of the Melting Pot” award from the National Council of La Raza

Fred Thompson has been my favorite for President in the 2008 election, until now. If what I’m hearing about Spencer Abraham, Thompson’s new campaign manager, then Fred’s campaign is dead in the water. Spencer Abraham, according to reports, is a supporter of open borders. That by itself is enough to turn most conservative voters off. On top of the border security question, I’m hearing that Spencer Abraham is an apologist for the Islamists. No way Fred can get elected if this is true. No way in hell.

There is no doubt in my mind that this action of Thompson to enlist Abraham raises a red flag which will affect his chances of being the Republican nominee.

You don’t have to be a moron to be a liberal Democrat but it sure helps.

I think it raises a red flag, sure, but to write off his candidacy because a campaign adviser, who is there for election strategy not to inform Thompson’s policies, takes some positions you don’t like?

C’mon.  Be reasonable.

I think picking Abraham was a mistake too, but I’m not going to judge Thompson’s positions based on Abraham’s.

Because of one campaign adviser. On the other hand, think of the cadres of campaign advisers to Obama, Hillary and the rest of the asylum who might provide your alternative!

I’ll wait and see.

Trolls. It’s what’s for breakfast!
And then I eat their lunch.

Geez, Rob, I can’t see anywhere in my postings that I said that I was writing off his candidacy.  I only posted this because I sort of like the guy and I hated to see him do something that could negatively affect his campaign.

Geez, Rob, I can’t see anywhere in my postings that I said that I was writing off his candidacy.

Fair enough, but people like DS and Malkin (I don’t like DS, I like Malkin) tend to get a little carried away with this stuff.

I’m sorry I implied that you were writing Thompson off.  I just don’t want anyone to write him off, because he’s the best candidate in the race.  Abraham or no Abraham.

Rob, Abraham has been in bed with CAIR since it hit the big time. He has repeatedly obstructed US efforts to destroy Islamic terror groups. His publicly stated positions are for compromise and appeasement with terrorists. Has he altered those positions? Not that I have heard.

Don’t know how you feel about numbersUSA, here, is a quick rundown on his Senate time.

It was a major blunder to associate his campaign with this individual, and I hope Thompson does not get burned to badly from it.

I agree that it was a mistake, but again Abraham wasn’t brought on to inform policy.  He was brought on for political strategy advice.

That bringing him on in the first place was bad politics is just plain ironic.
