Updated: Is Fred Thompson A Neo-Nazi?

See Ace and also Patterico for more on the LA Times silliness on Fred Thompson.

Unfortunately, I've found another role of Thompson's from as recently as 2005 which clearly paints him as a racist, bad parent and possibly weak on terror, as well.

In Frederik Du Chau's Racing Stripes (official site) Thompson was the, and I quote, "real bad guy in the film".

The "star" of the film, Stripes (Frankie Muniz) sought to rise above his roots as an abandoned zebra adopted into a farm setting. He possessed the crazy idea that he could one day run in the Kentucky Derby just like a white male Thoroughbred.

Tag-line: His stripes made him an outcast. His heart made him a hero.

True to his conservative (read racist and class-based) agenda that sought to promote Thoroughbred hegemony within the animal community, Thompson as Sir Trenton oppressed Stripes while displaying parenting skills on a par with those of Alec Baldwin and proved ineffective in fighting terrorism.

Sir Trenton was unsuccessful in his bid to suppress the biting violence of cartoon horseflies Buzz (Steve Harvey) and Scuzz (David Spade) throughout the film, which, pundits suggest, may cast doubt on Thompson's terror fighting cred in the eyes of some conservatives.

Sir Trenton is the real bad guy of the movie. He is an arrogant Thoroughbred horse. Trenton sees his son, Pride, as having no purpose other than to carry on the Trenton legacy. He was trained by Nolan Walsh and Tucker, but shows no gratitude.

Thompson is also obviously incapable of delivering the kind of parenting skills Global Warming activist Laurie David expressed when she said she wanted to be adopted by Al Gore after working with him on An Inconvenient Spoof.

I hate to say it, but maybe it is time we give Thompson a good hard look of reconsideration. The horse fly issue really concerns me. How is this guy going to fight Islamo-fascists as President, if he can't swat a couple of flies from Hollywood?

Remember to see Ace and also Patterico for more on the LA Times silliness on Fred Thompson.

Good grief, they don't realize conservatives can distinguish between a role and a man, and that we laugh at the agenda politics behind their pathetic films and we're the rubes?

Morons!

I find this highly ironic coming from one of the top Jim Webb-is-a pedophile pimps on all of the internets.

[emiaj]

Well jaime, using LA Times measure of the situation, wouldn't J Webb BE a pedophile? Snicker.

[jaime]

The LA times didnt say he was a Nazi. This is navel gazing at its worst. Did you even read the original LA Times Story? Does Riehl even link to it?

This is from the LA Time Article none of you care to read:

http://www.latimes.com/entertainment/news/celebrity/la-et-cause4may04,0,7619805.story?track=mostviewed-homepage

But in the age of YouTube, this performance could raise an intriguing political question: How does a performer eyeing a presidential run deal with a video history that can be downloaded, taken out of context, chopped into embarrassing pieces and then distributed endlessly though cyberspace? Some conservative political blogs are already considering the problem.

\\\"Not only do politicians have to worry about getting comfortable with a crowd and saying something that might be caught on tape,\\\" said USC professor Leo Braudy, a pop culture expert, who has written extensively about film. \\\"Now actors who have political aspirations will have to go through every single line of every part they played to make sure there\\\'s nothing they need to explain or apologize for.\\\"

So, to actually use my Webb example correctly the LA Times would write \\\"does every NOVELIST who writes about something controversial or foreign to some readers have to worry about actually being considered a pedophile because political hacks like Dan Riehl take the segments out of context and purposefully misrepresent them?\\\"

[jaime]

Now don\'t get me wrong, I think the articles political analysis is just plain dumb. But when Dan Riehl writes...

\"conservatives can distinguish between a role and a man\"

And he himself wrote for two straight weeks that an eastern sign of affection (however odd it may seem) was actually a depicition of homosexual pedophilia and that Jim Webb was a boy touching perv seems the height of hypocrisy.

[Cindi]

Sign of affection? lmfao. You jaime with a lower case j, are only trying to justify your very own homosexual pedophilia ways. For Jim Webb to even have written of such things is...oh forget it jaime, you are only concerned with getting the rest of America to accept your perversions.

[Buzzy]

The LA Almost No Subcribers is just trying it on for size to see if the BushHitler thing has feet. It doesn't and only because unlike Bush, Fred will actually stand up for himself and if the left pushes this type of issue the Hollywierd crowd's socialist support will vanish. Their ideas about their "art" doesn't include being tarred by the very brush they are holding.

So is there a difference between Webb writing a sicko part in a book and Fred acting the part of a Nazi on a show? Yeah, quite a bit.

[urthshu]

I think theres a chance that even the LAT sees the lame-factor in the non-story and that was never the point of the article to begin with.

Instead, I think the point was to try to show how lame *rightwing blogs* are to an unknowing public.

Now /jamie/ aren't you going to be Dennis from Iceland today. I would love to know how this sockie decides which "author" to be on any given day. Tom a Bedlam under any other name.

[TomB]

jamie, it would be a story if some liberal bloggers HAD taken the clips of Thompson out of context, but that never happened. To the best of my knowledge, the clips were only mention on Patterico's blog once, two months ago, in passing.

What could possibly be the reason for this story?

"...And he himself wrote for two straight weeks that an eastern sign of affection (however odd it may seem) was actually a depicition of homosexual pedophilia..."

Call me crazy, but as far as I have studied Asian cultures... I have *_NEVER_* heard of such as "eastern sign off affection" as picking up a young boy, flipping him upseide down, and proceeding to fellate him.

Link to excerpted passage: http://sweetness-light.com/archive/media-ignore-webbs-incest-homoerotic-pedophile-writings

It may well have been a "sign of affection" commited in an east Asian nation... but I dunno... by every indication, that thar is what most people today would call pedophilic homosexual behaviour... which is a very far cry from a professional actor playing the role of a CGI horse with an elitist attitude.

So tell me, Jamie:

Where on earth, or what demon told you that fellating toddlers is an acceptable practice in Asia?

[Raging_Dave]

You know, in all the time I spent in Korea, never ONCE did I see a guy giving a little boy a blowjob. Ever. In fact, doing so would have gotten you a good long term stay in a Korean jail. I don't think the Koreans see paedophilia as an "eastern sign of affection" at all.
