Fred Thompson knocked up his girlfriend and married her so that she could put him through college. Then, in 1985 he divorced her. Then, around 1987, he was filmed participating in white supremacist rallies and receiving a prized possession — a first edition of “Mein Kampf” autographed by Adolph Hitler.
Later he married the very white, very blonde, and very Aryan, Jeri Kehn, who is 25 years younger than Thompson.
Knocking up his girlfriend, marrying her, letting her put him through school, dumping her, marrying his trophy wife are real. The Nazi business is from a role Thompson played in the TV series, “Wiseguy.”
But, wasn’t Thompson just a little too convincing in the role for a mediocre actor?
After the L. A. Times asked whether his portrayal of a white supremacist could hurt his presidential chances, right-wingers went into outrage overdrive. The popular consensus is that this should not hurt Thompson. But, they forget the swift boating of John Kerry, and attacking John McCain for his non-white, illegitimate child and because being a prisoner of war made him nuttier than a fruitcake – attacks used by Republicans to smear political candidates.
Here’s how to destroy Fred Thompson with his own words in the role of a white supremacist preacher
Run commercials showing Thompson making the nastiest of the anti-Semitic and white supremacist dialog – over and over and over again. In the commercials, say “Fred Thompson — convincing as a white supremacist. Is he acting or expressing his own views? If he’s this convincing when he’s acting, how can we trust anything Thompson says. We don’t need a white supremacist or another Republican liar in the White House. Either way, Thompson is wrong for America.”
Here are some quotes from Fred Thompson, the Great White Hope of the Republican Party:
Standing on a stage with a white supremacist Christian church banner as a backdrop, former Republican Senator Fred Thompson says "You've asked yourself that same question, haven't you? … When you've lost that job on the construction site or the loading dock, a job you've had for 20 years to someone who can't speak the language but who is willing to work for $2.50 an hour?”
Thompson
gets the crowd chanting and then says, "Who are these enemies? Some
folks say it's the Jews. In fact, if I had a quarter for every time I
heard that, I would be 10 bucks shy of being Jewish myself."
There’s
even more. Thompson says, "The fact remains that it would be easy to
point our finger at the bankers and the financiers, Jewish or not, for
the fact that our great nation can't compete in the market place with
the Asiatics. And it would be easy to blame the liberal leftist, Jewish
or not, for sacrificing our working people on the altar of economic
Bolshevism. We have been complacent, because we have been gullible, and
we have been naive, we have allowed them to exercise their genetic need
to dominate a Christian world. So don't blame the Jews for doing it.
Blame it on yourselves for letting them."
Thompson says in the
same video footage, "Open your mind and open up your hearts and open up
your wallets and accept your birthright to a land of pure blood, pure
spirit, pure belief and our divinely ordered superiority as a people."
And worse yet, Thompson fondles a first edition of "Mein Kampf" autographed by Adolph Hitler just given to him as a gift as he tells the person who gave him the book, "Only you would have the sensitivity to know what this means to me."
At least Thompson’s not wearing a Nazi uniform.
