Leftist attorney registers domain for anti-Thompson smear site.

A common theme on this blog in recent weeks has been the obviously concerted effort by Leftists in the mainstream media to smear Fred Thompson through repeated hit pieces on non-issues: the sexist attacks on his wife, the shocking news that he did his job as Minority Counsel to the Senate Watergate Committee by sharing information with a president of his own party; the silliness about his having done a professional courtesy for a partner doing a lobbying job on behalf of a pro-choice group somehow constituting pro-choice lobbying in itself; and others.

But if there is any doubt how much the Left fears Fred Thompson, the newest dirty trick should dispel it. It seems that a lawyer named Henry Reynolds registered a domain site with an interesting ISP- http://www.imwithfred2008.com/ . The site currently links, for some reason, to a Wikipedia article on a Marxist writer. Hmm.

Originally it led to a web-page extolling the Ku Klux Klan and white racism.

Attorney Reynolds is a contributer to MoveOn.org and the DNC- and, in 2004, to the John Kerry campaign. According to Captain Ed Morrisey, who broke the story, Reynolds is apparently a current supporter of Sen. John Edwards.

The official Thompson website is found at http://www.imwithfred.com/ .
