A protester questioned Thompson’s conservatism Wednesday.
HOUSTON, Texas (CNN) – A woman screaming “you’re not a real conservative, sir” was removed by police from a welcoming reception for likely GOP presidential candidate Fred Thompson Wednesday morning. A second protester was also taken from the room.
Houston police officers escorted the woman — as well as a man — from the hangar at Hobby Airport, where Thompson was shaking hands with a crowd of supporters. They were not arrested.
The woman questioned Thompson as he talked to reporters. She asked him why he was a member of the Council on Foreign Relations, and noted that the organization supported the North American Union with Canada and Mexico.
After the woman interrupted Thompson by questioning his conservative credentials, the likely candidate said, “Don’t fuss at me. You asked me a question. Let me answer it.” He told the woman, “I try to learn as much as I can from all viewpoints.”
Later, she shouted at Thompson as the news conference ended. Police officers took her outside a fenced area near the hangar, and stood with her until the former Tennessee senator departed.

Yes,I suppose he also needs to learn his new campaign managers views,that he just hired.Ex-Senator Spencer Abrams.One of the all time biggest open borders Senators ever to serve,and pro-illegal advocate.Im sure there is a good explamation though.
Goofy protestor indeed. Another shining example of a neokook's neokookery. Such a well behaved, thoughtful, polished, refined, respectful, and courteous defender of "conservatism" and the core values it embraces.
It's going to be an interesting 16 months. Is is at all possible that the "protestor" is the forum's RP08? After all, there seems to have been a real absence of RP08 posts on 07/25/07.
Conspicuous by absence?

Goofy protester must be off her meds. Here is what Fred said:
An activist asked Thompson about his membership in the group, (CFR) linking it with plans for a "North American Union."
"I didn't know they were up to that," said Thompson".
Well maybe Fred should pay more attention while attending his CFR meetings.
The "Amero" is the name of the new currency proposed by Robert Pastor, a vice chairman of the CFR task force that produced the report "Building a North American Union" It will replace the U. S dollar, the Canadian dollar and the Mexican Peso.
I say "good for her". A lot of people have those same questions and would like to have real answers. Surely the former Senator can do better than:
"I didn't know they were up to that," said Thompson".
GET CONGRESS ATTENTION! CHANGE YOUR W-4 AT WORK AND CLAIM 10 DEPENDENTS SO NO TAXES WILL BE TAKEN FROM YOUR PAYCHECK. WHEN THE MONEY STOPS COMING IN MAYBE THEY WILL REMEMBER THEY ARE SERVANTS TO WE THE PEOPLE.
And the voters deserve better than opinions like this:

Good point Bobbie. I thought FDT was in the CFR in order to provide balance and keep up with what they were doing.... to provide an opposing POV, if you will. Sounds like he is slacking.

Guess he has not had his ear to the ground and his handlers maybe have been keeping things from him.

The Thompson comment I heard is actually in the second You Tube video when you scroll down; on this post that marijam has here. Thanks SovereignMan and marijam.

CFR has an agenda. Members have to be nominated, sponsored and voted into the 'club'. You do not become a member of CFR like walking up and buying a movie ticket. FTD and everyone else in that club is there to help promote the agenda.

Too be expected. Criticized for holding membership. Criticized for not keeping up his attendance record. Ridiculous. I think some folks are just envious that they aren't and can't be members.
