Hm.

On June 2, some anonymous critic of Fred Thompson sets up “Fred Thompson’s Private Journal,” writing faux journal entries that portray the former senator as a vile manipulator bragging of his ability to “sell a comb to a bald man” and consistent references to “my hot wife.”

On June 8, Kansans for Life set up “Conservatives Against Fred Thompson.” (In 2002, Kansans for Life’s Political Action Committee gave $5000 to Sam Brownback’s Restore America PAC. This does not indicate that Brownback or his campaign is behind the site, but it might give us a sense of the preferred candidate of Kansans for Life.)

June 16, some anonymous critic of Fred Thompson sets up “The Anti-Fred” at knoxpooley.blogspot.com. (Knox Pooley was the name of the white supremacist villain who FDT played on Wiseguy a long while back; I thought only Los Angeles Times writers were dumb enough to mix up fiction and non-fiction.) On June 22, some critic of Fred Thompson named “Mike” creates http://i-am-with-fred.blogspot.com. This site oddly simultaneously argues, “John McCain is a better candidate than Fred Thompson” and “The only thing that distinguishes Fred from Mccain is his drawl.”

Boy, funny how all these anonymous sites crop up within a few weeks, huh?
