Democrat Lawyer Tries to Smear Thompson

Filed under: Scum — Patterico @ 12:00 pm



This is a couple of days old, but I’ve been behind on my blog reading and just saw it. It’s Ed Morrissey catching a Santa Monica attorney (and contributor to Democrats) trying to smear Fred Thompson by starting a phony site trying to tie him to the KKK.

Very amateurish.

  1. Very amateurish.

    That’s an understatement.

    It continually amazes me how people can be so ignorant about the web. This amused me as much as the flaming e-mails that Charles Johnson gets sent from the flamer’s workplace or school account.

  2. Even better is the description that Middle Earth Journal (which the good Captain linked to) gave the imwithfred2008 site:

    As I noted in Ed’s comments section, there is more information to be gathered before anyone can be absolutely sure of what’s going on here. I mean, it’s certainly possible that Henry is actually a gay member of the KKK with a life partner named Fred who will celebrate their anniversary in 2008, but somehow it seems to lack the ring of truth.

    HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

  3. In my jurisdiction our Law Society code of ethics requires proper personal conduct in ordinary life.

    This Santa Monica attorney is an immoral and dishonest person unfit to practice law.

    Anyone going to do anything about it?

  4. His office address is a P.O. Box. He sounds like a nebbish who got a job with Social Security through affirmative action (I know, one more chance for Christoph to call me a racist bigot), couldn’t hold it and is trying to eke out a living working out of his home. Illinois’s ARDC has a web-site where you can check out all Illinois-licensed lawyers. Does California have one? I can Google it. Who licenses and disciplines lawyers in California?

  5. patterico, “democrat” is a noun. the adjective you’re looking for is “democratic”.

    nk, the site you’re looking for is http://www.calbar.ca.gov.

  6. His undergrad school: Univ of California Santa Cruz.

    Paul (f54101)

  7. Paul, don’t go bad-mouthing UC Santa Cruz now. I don’t want my alma mater associated with this jabroni.

  8. I’m hoping that of all the California residents who have read this (here and at the Captain’s Quarters) who are passionate about the law — including lawyers — someone makes a complaint.

    If he were in my jurisdiction, I would.

    Christoph (92b8f7)

  9. H2U: you’re the exception that proves the rule.

    Paul (f54101)

  10. ADA, you are wrong on your correction of grammar. This man contributes to Democrats (unless you want me to start calling John Edwards a “democratic” instead of a democrat)and not the Democratic party (organization/noun).

    Of course, if you wish to stick to the pedantic point, that’s fine. After all the real story here is Patterico’s description, not this jerks defamation of Fred Thompson.

  11. Man, I keep on hearing that jackass braying in the distance.

  12. This amused me as much as the flaming e-mails that Charles Johnson gets sent from the flamer’s workplace or school account.

    Two years ago, during Cindy Sheehan’s the month-long Texas campout, Michelle Malkin received several vile emails, one of them from a legal secretary with the message: “YOU STINK you nasty XXXX! Eat XXXX and DIE bitch!!” Unfortunately for him, the dimwit used his law firm’s office email address. Two hours after Malkin had posted the email on her website, he was terminated.

  13. NK,

    I’ve always had a PO Box on my Bar registration, even when I practiced in a 100+ lawyer firm.

    DRJ (bfe07e)

  14. NK,

    If the bar listing you linked to is correct, this may be Mr. Reynold’s website. The telephone numbers match.

    DRJ (bfe07e)

  15. I emphatically disagree with any identification of Fred Thompson as KKK. It should be obvious to anybody that he was rightly typecast as a neo-nazi. 🙂

  16. Two hours after Malkin had posted the email on her website, he was terminated.

    I remember that one, too!

    I doubt Patterico is seeking the adjective, nouns modify nouns all the time.

    PC14 (f74534)

  18. Patterico, have you ever heard of this attorney? I was curious about his reputation apart from this.

    Captain Ed (67d602)

  19. Ed, I’m trying to do some searching in some of my haunts. I have the feeling I’ve run across this guy on the ‘net before. Maybe at our Debunker’s website. If my recollection is correct, and I’ve not found the confirmation I’m looking for yet, he’s a real nutbag in another realm.

    SPQR (6c18fd)

  20. I don’t think anyone has heard of this attorney. Can you spell small time?

    At any rate, he has no state bar disciplinary actions against him… something that desperately needs to change.

    California residents. Hint, hint.

    Christoph (92b8f7)

  21. On the other hand, SPQR may know what he’s talking about, whereas I am, in fact, getting the data out of my ass.

    You must have enormous storage space then.

  23. Two funny points:

    1. Redirecting to goaattseee is pretty… extreme considering who may have been following the link from the “Captain”, such as schoolkids.

    2. Whoever runs the site only did a partial redirect involving a frame: you’re seeing the other site displayed inside the original site. The meta information – including the “racial purity” meta tag – remains.

  24. Hee Haw:

    True story: it is a warm evening in the summer of 1995. A crowd has gathered in the auditorium of a suburban high school in Knoxville, Tennessee. Seated in the audience is a childhood friend of mine who now teaches at the school. On stage is Republican Sen. Fred Dalton Thompson, the lawyer/actor elected in 1994 to serve out the remainder of Vice President Al Gore’s Senate term (when Gore’s appointed successor retired after just two years). The local TV stations are on hand as Thompson wraps up his presentation on tax reform, in the plain-spoken, down-to-earth style so familiar to those who have seen him in any of his numerous film and television performances.

    Finishing his talk, Thompson shakes a few hands, then walks out with the rest of the crowd to the red pickup truck he made famous during his 1994 Senate campaign. My friend stands talking with her colleagues as the senator is driven away by a blond, all-American staffer. A few minutes later, my friend gets into her car to head home. As she pulls up to the stop sign at the parking lot exit, rolling up to the intersection is Senator Thompson, now behind the wheel of a sweet silver luxury sedan. He gives my friend a slight nod as he drives past. Turning onto the main road, my friend passes the school’s small, side parking area. Lo and behold: There sits the abandoned red pickup, along with the all-American staff

  25. AF – And your point would be?

    JD (815fda)

  26. Fred Thompson’s a sensible man. I’ve gone from Chevy sedan to sports car to muscle car to SUV and back to four-door sedan (with three motorcycles interspersed). The American four-door sedan is one of the modern wonders of the world. GO FRED.

    nk (119c34)

  27. We should call him and comend him for his work on behalf of the klan. Tell him you will stop by with some friends to his California street address and take him out for a beer and to discuss other options to get republicans out of the white house and get a proud southern democrat back in to bring the country back to whiteness. Ask if he has any white pride hats or bumper stickers fo sale.

  28. AF – And your point would be?

    Lost amongst the Micheal Moore’s of the world firing their limo drivers, the Harry Reid’s taking Suburbans to go to a hearing that is litterally across the street, The Gore’s that live in houses 4 times the needed size and power consumption, and the Global Warming celebrities that take private jets to eco-rallies…

    Scott Jacobs (c0db90)

  29. I think that AF’s point is that AF is not above hijacking a thread about dirty tricks to rehash an old story about Thompson.

    SPQR (6c18fd)

  30. Oh.

    Well, we already knew that…

    Scott Jacobs (c0db90)

  31. …and of course AF needs us to be aware of teh Hypocrasy(TM)!!!!111!!!one!

    I'm Geekier (9efea5)

  32. Well, Scott, I didn’t say it was a subtle point.

    SPQR (6c18fd)

  33. The lawyers are the biggist suporters of the DEMACROOK party

  34. RE: #22

    “I don’t think anyone has heard of this attorney. Can you spell small time?

    At any rate, he has no state bar disciplinary actions against him… something that desperately needs to change.

    California residents. Hint, hint.”

    The only way an attorney in CA gets disciplined by the state bar is if he/she comes out as a Republican.

    Carlos (5334ac)

  35. Looks like this Reynolds is not the person I suspected.

    SPQR (6c18fd)

  36. So how was this guy claiming Thompson was a klansman? Was he posting clips of his appearance on Wiseguy like a certain poster on this website speculated might happen?

    Sean P (e57269)

  37. “I think that AF’s point is that AF is not above hijacking a thread about dirty tricks to rehash an old story about Thompson.”

    No dear, the post was about someone bullshitting about Thompson, so I just thought I’d remind people that he’s done it himself.
    Thompson’s a putz, and he’s going nowhere.

    AF (57ec94)

  38. How is that bullshitting, AF?

    JD (815fda)

  39. Thompson’s a putz, and he’s going nowhere.

    This is the type of high-minded intellectual thought that makes me keep coming back here, AF. You should charge money for that level of brilliance.

    JD (815fda)

  40. Thompson’s a putz, and he’s going nowhere.

    Must be why he and his wife have been smeared by the Left, before he’s even joined the race.

    The depth of your intellect bowls me over, AF.

    Paul (f54101)

  41. I don’t think that Thompson is a putz, but I’ve had it up to here with Southern Presidents. And I’m not ready for anybody with an ethnic name, either. Especially one whose name starts with “G” and ends in “iulliani”. Romney seems staid and boring enough to be a decent Republican candidate.

    nk (119c34)

  42. 1. This guy’s actions are despicable. Especially when one considers that there are plenty of legitimate beefs to be had with Thompson, we certainly don’t need to fabricate anything.

    2. Don’t see why you (Patterico) feel the need to engage in the subtle, low-brow use of the term “Democrat” as an adjective instead of “Democratic.” Aside from being as grammatically incorrect as referring to the Republican Party as the “Republic Party,” it’s also a partisan, cheap shot. Please amend.
