Thompson Owns Mike Huckabee During Debate



Go, Fred! This was my favorite segment from the last debate.

This video highlights a recurrent element in this year's election cycle: double standards.

Fred accurately but ferociously attacks Huckabee's record. However, since the debate Thompson hasn't suffered (to my knowledge) for going "negative" or "attacking" a fellow Republican.

Instead, Fred's stock goes up, since he's finally at least doing something.

Lesson: Fred and others can attack. Mitt can't--even if it's entirely factual and based on another's record not personality--or he gets criticized.
