Speaking of sharks...they don't always have to smell blood. The "Main Stream Media", in concert with the Dems, have been working on how to destroy a Thompson candidacy for about the last month. It is clear that both groups are quite afraid of FDT. This is probably the best evidence to date confirming that FDT is "electable". The main attackers right now seem to be the LA Times, Boston Globe and the AP--at least those are the ones that I am finding.
The most recent stuff has to do with the LA Times story regarding the possibility that FDT did some lobbying for a group supporting abortion rights (and therefore, FDT must be for abortion--logic isn't their strong suit). There was a bit of a dust-up regarding the accuracy of the reporting on the web side of the report. They changed their online version of the story, etc. Hot Air has a good explanation of what happened with links to, more or less, original sources on the subject.
But let's cut through the clutter. Let's assume that it is true--that FDT took on a lobbying gig for an outfit that wanted relaxed rules on the discussion of abortion at clinics that received federal money. Does this mean that FDT supports, or even supported at the time, abortion rights? Does this mean that FDT did not consistently vote for pro life positions when he was a Senator? Of course the answer is "no".
The good news for Fred Heads is that the MSM and the Dems deem FDT worthy of attack and are willing to go to the edge of integrity to make those attacks. It will not be an easy fight, but we have a candidate that can do it.
