According to Romney he didn’t know anything about the site:

Republican Mitt Romney denounced a Web site that was bitingly critical of GOP rival Fred Thompson’s personal life and political career, calling it “juvenile and offensive.”
“There’s no place in politics for those kind of hijinks,” the former Massachusetts governor told The Associated Press in a telephone interview as he campaigned in Midland, Texas.
Now off-line, PhoneyFred.org was the creation of Wesley Donehue, a business associate of Romney’s top political operative in early voting South Carolina, Warren Tompkins. Romney’s campaign insists that neither Romney nor Tompkins knew about the site or approved of its creation.
Said Romney: “The Web site is obviously juvenile and offensive. It was not done by anyone employed by my campaign, and Mr. Tompkins indicates it was not done by his firm, that the person who put it up was acting on his own. I’ve said I do not want to have that person in any way associated with my campaign.”
