Captain Ed explains the difference between imwithfred.com and imwithfred2008.com. Apparently, someone who is on record as a supporter of move on and John Kerry registered the domain name imwithfred2008.com and promptly filled it with links to racist organizations.
Note, just because you can do something, doesn't mean you should. and dirty tricks of this order can be found out easily and just look amateurish. More here and here.
Is the fact that dirty tricks are targeting, not John McCain, not Mitt Romney, not Rudy Giuliani, but a guy who hasn't even announced yet of any significance? I hesitate to read too much into this as it's a datapoint of just one guy, but I do find it interesting that he passed up many more significant targets to zero in on ol' Fred Thompson.
Fred Thompson is in the consciousness of the Democrats, and he scared at least one of them enough to do something stupid and ugly.

17. Fred Thompson, who never introduced a bill during his single term in the Senate was one of the leading pushers to impeach Bill Clinton for supposedly lying about having had sex. Yet this same enforcer of the nation's ethics and morality has yet to express a single concern about the current president who used lies to get us into a war against the wrong enemy, found ways to violate the constitutional rights of all Americans, carried out only the parts of passed laws that he agreed with, used torture in Iraq, did a miserable job during the still-present Katrina crisis, invoked executive privelege to prevent the truth from coming out about the political firings of US attorneys, and so much more. Where's the moral outrage, Mr. Thompson?

18. Fred is the only politician ready and willing to deal with Washington. Kind of reminds me of Ronald Reagan. We need a strong orator who can re-position this Country back to where RR took us. We have become whipping posts within our own Country and around the globe. Protect us first and the heck with the rest. Ask them where they would want to live.

24. Looking at the opinion polls on congressional democratic leadership, if the dems get the white house and manage it as well as they have done with congress they will be gone by 2011.
Just because a democratic CIA leader may have screwed up intelligence (what was in those trucks going to Syria anyway?) doesn't mean that stopping a mass murderer was a bad idea. We should use the same exit strategy as we used after Clinton stopped Milosovich. Oh yea, were still there. Why don't the Dems whine about that? Oh yea, politics.

25. PATRICK, I DON'T KNOW WHERE YOU LIVE ( IN YOUR MIND) BUT IT MUST BE A WONDERFUL PLACE.

26. I think Fred Thompson is the only one who can beat Hillary Rotten Clinton. She and Obama CANNOT be voted in! If they do we are sunk. He is the most conservative in the group. I like Rudy but he is more liberal. We are in a mess in this country with the democrats in control of congress. They can't get long among themselves so how can they make wise decisions. I am a Christian and believe we should vote for Christians. PRAY.

27. As this country drifts more and more toward socialism the Democrats will gain more and more power. We will see candidates who are true beleivers in God loose their positions in this government. Then, as the country drifts more toward socialism and away form God, Christians will see a United States they will not recognize. How sad for our great country. I have lived long enough to see how our country has deteriated over the past years. Things are already going on that I would not have imagined just a few years ago. Many people are more passionate in this country about taking God's Name out of everything possible, than they are about loving their neighbors. I beleive we are at the last cross-road, and what we do in the next year or so could change America forever if we make the wrong choices. God will not always bless a country that has turned its back on Him. Judgement will come on America just has it came on all nations before us who turned away from God.

29. I like Mitt. I like Fred and I don't like liberals.
Liberals want more tax money, more government programs and more control. I want conservative people running this country. Wise and prudent. Patriots. I don't want those with left wing agendas. If you want a left wing country - go to a left wing country and leave my country alone! Is Fred Thompson strong enough to stick to his principals? Is anyone in politics? God Bless America

30. It appears AOL News is contributing to Hillarys campaign. When I go to AOL News Election 'o8, Fred Thompson link, meet Fred Thompsons full profile link, I get a full page blast of Hillary.
Should'nt this be classified as an illegal campaign contribution?
