The liberal media attack machine shoots itself in the foot -- again.

Does the National Family Planning and Reproductive Health Association have a cancelled check or not?

I now am having some suspicions that this is true. FT gave an all-out denial at first, but then backed off later with some weird off-handed comment that didn't add anything and confused us all.

As we all know, getting a cancelled check from 1991, 16 years ago, might be a wee bit more difficult than getting one from last year. However, they are on microfiche and will be found (if they exist) eventually.

Until then, it's going to have to be a matter of some time until FT is either exonerated, or humiliated.

Why ask Sununu? Why not ask the "original" source? The pathetic shell of the LATimes prints unsourced rumors and ABC asks Sununu?? Both are not news sources, they are just the democrat party attacking Republican candidates.

Don't call yourself news.

What's the point? The libs shoot themselves (or republican adversaries) in the foot trying to accuse Thompson of doing the dirty work of abortion. Well let me suggest that you wait till you get the facts together before you start distorting them. Works better that way. Not all conservatives are as concerned about the abortion issue as many democrats think. In fact republicans are pretty diverse on social issues.

I don't care that Fred Thompson lobbied for abortions and is a flip-floppin' all over the place. He was great on Law and Order and would make a great president like John Wayne was.

And how is this newsworthy? Which Democratic candidate has stated that he/she will fight tooth and nail to overturn Roe v Wade? So why are we even paying attention? Probably using Dan Rather’s sources anyway. When we get through pointing fingers maybe we can get to real issues.

Thompson is just an empty suit upon whom some desperate Repubs are projecting their futile hope that Ronnie Reagan will be raised from the tomb. The truth is that Thompson is far more like the ineffectual frat boy currently occupying the WH than RR. However, since many of these delusional Repubs can buy Romney's complete flip-flops without blinking, they may have no trouble voting for a "pro-life" guy who most likely took money to lobby for an abortion rights group. After all, there's nothing Repubs respect more than making money, even if it's tainted money.

Thompson should ban LA Times reporters from his campaign. So far they've written stories that he will be hurt because he played a racist in an unpopular movie, the uncredible, straining story, emphasis on story, about abortion lobbying, and today a non-story about how some other Republican senators once disagreed with him. What is the Times problem? They need to chill out.
Same goes for the NY Times calling Mrs. Thompson, professional and happily married mother of two of Fred's children a trophy wife. Conservatives take these cheap shots as a good sign for the general election.

Thompson is a Washington insider/former lobbyist who could care less about anyone but those who pay him. Go for it conservatives...he's all yours...

I am a liberal and I have no problem with FT lobbying for pro-abortion groups. It is pretty typical for the hypocrites in the GOP, they would do anything for money. It is not big news, business as usual.

Sununu doth protest too much.

It's a reasonable point that he may not know about every time a lobbyist lobbied his staff. But note that for all his vituperation he doesn't deny knowing that Thompson lobbied his staff on behalf of federal funding for abortions. He only denies recalling Thompson coming to see himself specifically. I've got to wonder if that narrow denial is calculated and the rage a way of trying to obscure the issue.

Hey RealityCheck, LibSlayer is right. Not all Republicans are anti-abortion; many think it should not be a political issue, along with same-sex marriage. I hope it's true, I have respect for any politician who doesn't just tow the party line--and I don't really care which party.

Oh yes those greedy Republicans take money wherever they can get it. How big is Martin Sheen's house again?

Yo Chaos..Martin Sheen earned his money acting so like any professional actor or sports star they can live anywhere they want!

Hey doe, How about Johnny "slimy ambulance chaser" Edwards? He earned his money bankrupting doctors and vaccine makers. Guess that is ok too. Everything is bad for Republicans, but its ok doe Dems. typical

I saw that HRC used the words "God's Creation" recently. Does this mean she's become an Intelligent Designer?

I love how conservatives are crying and whining, "Witch hunt! Witch hunt!" as news sources look into a story that could reflect on the integrity of a Republican candidate. However, when it comes to them using similar tactics, well, then it's totally ok.

Does the expression "Swift Boating" ring any bells?
