Fred Thompson -- Greedy. Lobbyist. Sellout

[buddybleau]

I'll mention a candidate that has never been bought by special interest groups,...Dr. Ron Pau! If you have info to the contrary, please tell us about iT!!!!

[elperropatron]

When will Hollywood Fred put a a video describing why he's dropping out after running one of the most lackluster campaigns in recent history?

[newyorknaked]

Go Fred!!!! Fred Thompson for President!!!

[DARIVSARCHITECTVS]

Thompson's Senate voting record may not be perfect, but it's closest to my way of thinking than any other candidate. I'd rather see Thompson spending campaign money in a rented pickup than Hillary touring in a Learjet. Thompson will be de facto "presidential material" if he's voted in as President. Show me a candidate who has NOT worked in the interests of "big business" and I'll sell you a bridge in NYC. Vote on issues, not how a candidate looks on TV.

[jerbear420]

Duh what ever you all say if Tompson did this he deservs to ahve fake videos made about him..

Tompson IS NOT PRESIDENT MATERIAL

[leftysergeant]

Don't let the whining of the neocons stop you from doing what you're doing, my man. It kind of reminds me of a remark by Harry Truman: "I don't give people hell. I tell the truth and they think it's hell."

[marklincoln]

all of bravenewfilms vids are hatchet jobs.you

should see the one he did on OReilly promoting

pornography. What a sad pathetic dope head!

[spidermonkies00]

Very nice video. Republicans say they are running for the common man, while they are actually rich, greedy lobbyist. They say they stand for moral values, but incidents like the larry craig scandal show they are not.

[GOLLIN626]

Its sad that you steal his vid and turn it like that, have some respect.And if your tring to say anyone running is only taking money from "great people" then you kidding yourself and anyone that takes any of your vid seriously. I dont know the facts of this are even true,I would guess they arent but so far the vids from this channel are a joke.

[DonkeyofHeaven]

Great satire. Short and sweet.

[dellitoso]

Great video!

[JEUGENEN]

Fred Thompson -- Greedy. Lobbyist. Sellout

Thompson is second only to Ron Paul; and all of his followers are welcomed with open arms, by the Ron Paul Rebels.

By posters and donations, the Neocon Rep Giuliani, and the Leftist Dem Hillary, will be defeated. This is the beginning of end of the Era of Ugly American.

[DASHDOT2]

who the hell is paying fred thompson to run for office and why?

[ZombieSupermodel]

Didn't need to see a video to get this one confirmed lol

[BlueBe7a]

lol

[o3mandotcom]

Red Fred the Libyan Lobbyist who worked on behalf of two Libyan intelligence agents charged with (and one of them later convicted of) the bombing of Pan Am 103 over Lockerbie, Scotland.

[Backpackr3]

o3mandotcom...nice try with your intentionally misleading post. Here are the facts: The 2 Libyans had a Libyan lawyer. Their Libyan lawyer sought advice from John Culver, a partner at Arent Fox. Thompson had no authority to decide which clients the firm represented. Arent Fox was hired to provide guidance on questions regarding where the two men should be tried. John Culver sought advice from colleague Fred Thompson about these jurisdictional issues. Thompson billed 3.3 hours on the matter.

[leftysergeant]

Fred is still a mercenary piece of dirt and a total sell-out. He seems to have some absurd idea that it is the investor class who need the services of government (except those nasty taxes and safety and consumer protection agencies, and can't we do without unions for a change.) Respect that corporate whore lawyer? No way. We've had one brain-dead actor too many in the White House already.

[governator86]

Lay off the "hicks" yankee, Fred Thompson isn't exactly a hero down here in the south either, hes a lazy fat bastard that pads his campaign on the misery of others.

[lrrvegas]

Yea, Fred Thompson is nothing more than a hick from Tennessee. One of them "good ol boys". Probably a Mason and Skull & Bones member, as well. I can see a crook when I see one. This ass needs to drop dead!!

[overmind25]

Do I sense satire?

[overmind25]

Only an idiot would fall for Fred Thompson.

[MAVWOLF]

Only a fagot would not vote for Fred Thompson.

Hey, new slogan for 'bravenewfilms'.

-"We're Gay Liars, And That's It."

[overmind25]

That goes for Hillary as well and most of the leading Presidential candidates. Thompson is the worst though. He is a total fraud.

[lgrf4evr]

so people are going to fight for fred thompson because they like his character on law and order instead of focusing on his laziness? if people are going to do that, than we are serious f up, and i mean we are seriously f up.

[travisalger]

Fred gets called out:

/watch?v=Y0IBQCw0aEg

[signsbyrusty]

I hate lobbyist...hired guns that bribe officials.

[dradley1]

Yep, just another liberal hypocrite. DemocRATS have the dirtiest hands in the world 10 times over Republicans but they always get a free pass. Hillary got over $100,000.00 serving as an honorary member of Wal-Mart's executive board. gasp! The big evil Wal-Mart! hmmm..no mention of that. Probably didn't even know that did you? That wouldn't be because 99% of the media is LIBERAL would it?!!!

[WhyDidYouDeleteME]

it's not about the left or right.

it's about how we should come together to stop evil, fascist assholes and provocateur sandpeople,

AGENT SMITH.

i'm fucking on to you buddy.

[cowan0311]

GO FRED GO FRED!!!!!! im with fred this is a bunch of bull

[SkipperJonasGumby]

This is so obviously a voice over. As much as I'd be hard pressed to blam the Dems', I'm more likely to put the blame on Ron Paul supporters! not RP but his supporters!

[allbymyself27]

So what that Fred was a lobbyist! At least he wasn't involved with Jack Abrahamoff like some members of the GOP and a lot of Dems were. And if you want to talk about lobbyists, just look no further than Hillary Clinton. She's by no means innocent as she's taken PLENTY of money from lobbyists. Not to mention the ChiCom that has been her biggest fundraiser that is now in jail. The simple fact is that Fred Thompson scares all of you libs because he's the only one that can beat Hitlery.

[dradley1]

Hitlery! Oh, that's good. And very accruate. Good job, American.

[mpost81]

great piece keep up the good work

[Backpackr3]

You can really smell the fear that Fred puts into these Libs. I love it! I'm with Fred.

[wakeboard77]

You want to go tap Fred's foot underneath a bathroom stall Larry Craig style. You stay with a washed up actor why the rest of halfway intelligent American public finds a candidate with some political experience other than acting in a movie.

[Backpackr3]

Are you too stupid of a Lib to know that Thompson was a US senator for 8+ years? Gee, thats more experience than Hillary Clinton (ugly wife of B.J.Clinton) has....or Barak Hussein Yomamma, or John Edwards. Thompson also served as Special Counsel to the Senate Foreign Relations Committee (1980--1981), and as Special Counsel to the Senate Intelligence Committee. So, why dont you take your wide-stanced self back to your favorite rest area or restroom....you are coming off as a real idiotic Lib.

[wakeboard77]

Yeah considering I live in TN I am fully aware that Thompson was a Senator. Are you aware that he had no major achievements that greatly benefited the state while a Senator? Did you see me back any candidate? You are a stupid Con. that actually believes Bush is doing a good job and that we need another good ole' boy in the White House. Thompson won't win so there is no need in arguing with a fuckhead like you.

[Backpackr3]

wakeboard77...Hey, you are the imbecile that brought up experience and forced me to have to school your stupid Lib arse. You made yourself look like a moron so effortlessly...congratulations­.

[wakeboard77]

What did you school me on? You made yourself look like a moron. Riding around in a red pickup truck will not win an election. America doesn't need another washed up actor to be president. We already have one retard as prez. we don't want to relive the experience. And you can't name one accomplishment that he contributed to TN. So who really got schooled?

[Backpackr3]

I see...you want to change the subject now. First you talk about lack of experience...I demonstrate you to be a moron by pointing out that he has more experience than either of the top 3 Demrats...now you want to change it around to "What did he do for Tenn." Let me tell you something dopey...I'm voting for Fred based on his conservative policies...not what he did or didn't do for Tenn.

[wakeboard77]

What's his experience? He was a senator for 8 years (a shitty one at that), big deal. Conservative policies? You religious kooks are all the same. Face it, abortion will always be legal, there will never be prayer in school again, you will be able to keep your guns. Now what other policies do you truly care about? Like I said earlier, Thompson won't win so it's a mute argument. Go pray or something.

[Backpackr3]

LOL....once again you turn out to be a demonstrable imbecile. I am an atheist...so what exactly should I go pray to? You look like a fool.

[wakeboard77]

Go pray to the big red pickup truck. Trust me, Thompson doesn't want an atheist backing him.

[DonkeyofHeaven]

"Experience" means almost nothing in an election. Why? Because, since a president has all the experience needed by being surrounded by advisors, it is judgement that is needed. Cheney had more "experience" than anyone & he shows that experience can be used to lie and cheat and exercise poor judgement. Experience is the smokescreen for bad judgememnt.

[spidermonkies00]

So backpackr3, we obviously know you're a republican who stoops down to the 4th grade level and makes dumb insults on presidential candidates like "barak hussein yomamma." Don't call other ppl idiotic, when you need to first stop being an idiot yourself.

[Backpackr3]

spidermonkies00...ooooh so sensitive. I'll tell ya what...I learned it from Libs and have decided to give them a taste of their own medicine...find it bitter do you? I bet you had no problem with Libs calling an actual sitting president (not just a candidate) a fool or stupid...or a murderer...or equating him with Hitler, did you? The disingenuousness of your feigned outrage in your post shines right through like a beacon. Go grow some thicker skin.

[spidermonkies00]

Haha, the "disingenuousness" of my comment? So you assume I'm a liberal? Not everyone who isn't a Republican is a liberal - I'm not a liberal. I do, in fact, have problems with both parties mudslinging, but it seems Republicans are better at it(evident from your comment). The worst part is, people like you (with very little intelligence) stick with attacks like "barak hussein yomamma" instead of pointing out flawed policies or experiences of candidates.

[UTBESUX]

Fred the fraud was a lobiest for over twenty years. For those of you who don't know what they do they get paid huge amounts of money to screw the American people for corporate profits. He worked on behalf of the saving and loan b.s that cost Americans BILLIONS! We don't need another Bush!

[SynthetikGretyl]

Wait...did he actually say what i think he said?

[Jadedbylife]

Freddy Krugger Thompson is one corrupt, but ugly jackass!

[jsprev]

Awesome!  Thanks!

[westphalianprinz]

This guy reminds me of Foghorn Leghorn!

[jsprev]

He reminds me of Joe Don Baker's evil twin.

[UnhealthySalad]

Fred Lobbyist you are unfit to be President

/watch?v=LqtF7ISAsBo

[rijderunner]

Fred! What about the Libyan terrorists? Did lobbying for them pay good?

[slimpickens63]

fred are you a con too.

[asdffd]

On Oct 1 Homeland Security opens a new office called the National Applications Office charged with domestic intelligence gathering.

NAO will approve law enforcement requests to access spy satellite data (which can see within INCHES of the ground). That approval will be granted through inhouse review, WITH NO JUDICIAL OVERSIGHT.

This is a clear violation of the Posse Comitatus Act.

POLICE WILL BE ALLOWED TO LOOK INTO YOUR BACKYARD WITH NO WARRANT, NO COURT ORDER, NO JUDICIAL OVERSIGHT, NO JOKE!

[pickedaname]

Thats like saying the phone company should be closed up because one of it's customers does something that most dont approve of, without looking into the details.

[JiveDadson]

Hey! Go easy on Freddy. We need him to split the war-monger vote. Seriously.

[bt071971]

Once again the Neocons are trying to find a puppet. They started first by backing Giulliani, then switched to Romney, then Huckabee, now they're throwing in Thompson. keep trying... but like Ron Paul said it only adds to the diluted pot of pro war neocons.

[HandsOnVermont]

Well this is interesting tid bit of information. If it is true. Thank you Fred you supported companies that helped kill my dad. The new asbestos was danderous and yet did nothing to warn people as soon as they knew about it. My father died at 43 because of the amount of asbestos that was in his longs. We need more guys like Fred in Jail not in office. thanx for sharing this

[rijderunner]

According to the NYT, de minimis lobbyied for the Pan Am 103 terrorists. His backroom deals stink.

[kong19hong]

That was bloody hilarious !

[midwestcharm]

No offense, but I just can't stand to look at the guy.....

[Jacknast76]

Just as Reagan was simply a good looking talking head that new how to "ACT" he was a front man. So too in Thompson.  A font man with for those behind the curtain.

[rijderunner]

Every true, this guy stinks of insiders and 501s concerned that they will lose access to the executive branch. Thompson left the Senate to run the Federal City Council.

[puresmoke1]

Hey,Now that you guys added the walking dead to your crew of misfits.You assholes look more pathetic than ever.Dems roll!

[PatriotFact]

i hope bravenewfilms doesn't criticize Hillary's corrupt ties to lobbyists next.

[jolcom]

He's affable, intellectually lazy, and in the pocket of big business. He is truly the heir of Ronald Reagan.

[ctweathers]

I don't think this country is stupid enough to elect a boorish phony like Fred Thomopson.

[fishhead06]

...or Ronald Reagan?

[JiveDadson]

... or George Bush? Twice?

Face it. The American electorate has not made a good call in at least 48 years.

[THEDECIDER525]

I like Ike

[Rackuzius]

Clinton wasn't OK? Ah, shit...here I go starting this one...

[dexxjones]

a rented pickup truck. this takes the cake.

[DennyMclain2008]

this guy is about as conservative as hillary and almost as ugly. he loves illegal wars and killing innocent civilians.... he is a former lobbyist for GE and Westinghouse. he is 65 yrs old with a newborn and he is suffering with cancer... this guy has more negatives than jeffrey dahmer. oh.. and did i mention he is CFR?!!!

[ffirb]

Thats all this country needs is a former lobbyist president.

[Rackuzius]

wow, pure propaganda.

[velation]

Do you dispute the claim made in the video?

[Rackuzius]

No, just in awe of how it was presented. Giuliani would be proud.

[velation]

How it was presented? If the claim made in the video was that he donated that amount of money to those suffering asbestos poisoning instead of taking it from lobbyists paying him to shut them up then it would be your average campaign ad. It's satire, not propaganda, and you'd do well to learn the difference.

[Rackuzius]

It's sleazy and it's presented to make Thompson look bad. All the power to it. Yes, it is satire, but it also has a direct purpose.

It's a pretty good suckerpunch.

[velation]

Well, this far exceeds any "satire" that propagandists are capable of. Satire needs an element of truth to be effective. Compare the Daily Show to Fox's "Half Hour News Hour." I wouldn't call it sleazy. Do you think the daily show is sleazy for its satire?

[Rackuzius]

Your confrontational responding about a video I watched briefly (one time) while half-awake makes me extremely uncomfortable. I left a three word comment and forgot about it. What a curse this shit is.

We can end this needless discussion like civilized people. Yes, this is satire. Fred Thompson, baaaaaad. Ron Paul, gooooood. Cool?

[velation]

Don't be so melodramatic. If it's such a curse then don't respond, but don't try to make me out to be uncivilized just to save face on the internet. What a curse this shit is. It's the inteeeerneeeet. Cool?

[Rackuzius]

No problemo. Cool.

[jmegill]

I do not support Thompson. However, I would like to point out that this video crosses ethical lines with its use of Fred impersonation and/or re-editing Fred's voice. If you are going to do this, then there needs to be a disclaimer that it is an impersonator speaks and not the real Fred Thompson.

[velation]

It's a blatantly obvious parody. You'd have to be mentally retarded not know know it's been dubbed. There's nothing unethical about it.

[eebruce]

I agree. Paperlilies is right, there is no place for sarcasm on YouTube. Its stupid, and there's just no place for it. I'm not stupid if I don't understand that Fred Thompson would never admit that he was a Washington lobbyist before he became a Senator. Its BraveNewFilms that is stupid for trying to make me feel stupid.

[sdjnet]

Thompson is a horrible campaigner. Didn't even wave to the crowd as he was walking off the Tonight Show stage. No grace, no talent.

[CaptainCocaine]

Dude, I liked his exit. He was like, "I'm about to head to Iowa(or wherever it was) to campaign right now actually" then he was gone. I thought it showed he meant business. That's just me though, and I'm biased.

[leepakim]

another boring wannabe president! BTW: where is ROSS PERO??? *ROFL*

[brittlebrit187]

This guy's voice is even more grating to my ears than John Edwards'.

[UnhealthySalad]

He was a former abortion-rights lobbyist! Look it up. And people say he's the savior of the Republican Party? Give me a break. Also, research his record on gun control and the 2nd amendment. Lastly, go to the website called conservativesagainstfred [dot] wordpress [dot] com

He's same ol' same ol'. Politics as usual.

[fmm3]

He probably spent months collecting money of corporate big shots thats why he entered "late". You don't have to declare your funding if your not an offical candidate

[bigsid920]

Awesome. Fred is a corporate whore. It's scary that he would ever try to run for President.

[fagan411]

5 stars

[KIDiotequeA]

Really appreciate these videos, but I wish youd make a couple exposing the dangers of the top tier dems aswell. Ron Paul, Dennis Kucinich, and Mike Gravel are the only candidates of the people.
