Helen Thomas: "We Have an Imperial Presidency!"

[realroadrunner69]

its jubba the racist

[elfgirl3]

The old hag needs to be sent back to Lebanon where she belongs

[tjfgermany58123]

How is it that the President can just go against the checks and balances ands American citizens and elected officials say nothing.

[jamessawy]

USA BELIEVE THAT BY ADDING NEW LAWS ITS BECOMES MORE FREE BY PROTECTING ITS CITIZENS. WELL OK , SO IF I SPEAK ABOUT THE GOVERENMNT AND SAY BAD THINGS I GET INVESTIGATED BECAUSE AMERICA MUST BE FREE FROM EVIL . AMERICA IF U WANT TO BE FREE U NEED TO NOT MAKE LAWS . JUST KEEP THE GOLDEN LAW ( I SHALL NOT HARM ANYONE,

[assyrio78]

You should be so lucky this women ever existed in this Corporatocracy!

[tweeetme]

Helen hates the US so much. She should go live with the Taliban. She's such an idiot.

How can she not know about the touture of women in Iraq.

[adarkblond]

@tweeetme

Hey tweetie brain! Helen has seen the REAL world from the inside vantage pint and know EXACTLY what she's talking about. You will be a slave throughout your life because you and your dumbed down generation have NO IDEA and NO ABILITIES TO ACT. You sit on your asses while your country is falling down.

So you American idiot since you can add the conversation at least show respect... well earned respect that Helen deserves.

[tweeetme]

@adarkblond Did you know Helen was one of the first men to have thier gender changed? She had her penis cut off almost 30 years ago. Uggghhh ! She's real grose

[2qewl4u]

@tweeetme That's real mature. What are you 12?

[2qewl4u]

@tweeetme Torture of women in Iraq? Lmao this is new. Give me proof.

[realroadrunner69]

@2qewl4u there a movie aboout this so do ur homework..

[Tygra81]

Now we have Obama showing how to really run an "imperial presidency"

[hoplite46]

shes old to care about insulting anyone good for her

[c0deMunkey]

What a vile disgusting individual this woman is. Good riddance.

[zarhoon]

i love helene god bless you

[newworld708]

she has a lot of wisdom that could only be gained through 50years of experience (46 or 47 at the time of this vid). we all could learn a great deal from her

also i dont think she would ever realize that her open words would come back to haunt her.."In my business, your only as good as your last story"

now her last story wasnt exactly her own but it was definitly about her

a shame that our govt lost one of its finest (maybe last?) mainstream media critic, not just a parrot

[adarkblond]

@newworld708 Really a shame. She said the tabou J word. The Rothschilds don't like that you know and their ears are every where. So she only needed to say something that could be used as politically incorrect and her entire career is over.

Bush & Cheney blew up 3 buildings full of people in the heart of New York but apparently that sin is less offensive. Trust me when I tell you they are just beginning their greatest work.

[platefullofbacon]

The most Biased Troll in Media!!

[CORPARANOID]

She should know that elite Gov &sustainable Corp Consumerism in play 4over 70+ years. It's hard 2 chg a Corrupt system from within. Bills: 1) set Campaign$pendings 4all political candidates &we the people pay, 2) have proper representation based on current population 3) Voter's get $100 rebate, those that don't, PAY. 4) Limit Corp Lifespans 75-100 yrs, then DIVEST! Tax by age, industry, profit, size. 6.) 600 Auditors & Prosecutors 2SEC: WALLSTREET, 200 4GAO >Gov|Corp $pending.

[WhiteRepublicanAHole]

Helen is a woman with BALLS. Her employer is BLIND. 50 years of experience and she is LYNCHED by fox news .THEY pick on an 89 year old woman for a comment she has made and entitled to as an American with rights. If you Hang everybody that opens their mouth then were no better then Communist China.

[crapdedoodah]

sexy! I love a woman who speaks the truth. SexYYY^!

[SGTRVN1]

On three lets all give Helen a salute, 1) Ok ,arm extended, 2) fingers rigid and held together, 3) OK ready, Seig Heil, again, Seig heil!!!

[BufordStone]

Thank you for kicking ass for so many years Helen.

[vicrattlehead07]

I find it hilarious that this dimwit bashes Bush, but gives chairman maobama a pass! hypocrisy at its worst!! she did try to hammer Gibbs at some issues about the current status of obama foreign policy (exactly the same as the bush policy!!) so she quickly fell out of favor and they caught her with the setup video of what most leftys opinions on Israel is to begin with and forced her out with it. obama drills in the Atlantic, continues the endless war cuts programs in education, 20% unemployment

[Fuctmentality]

@vicrattlehead07 She's bashed Obama, & what war cuts are you referring to?

[Tychicus1769]

Go home to Poland you anti-semite

[hasan2222]

@Tychicus1769

she is more semite than the jews, she is an arab

[GOTTACUTLOOSE]

Go Helen! you are always questioning the motives of actions your knowledge of the middle east inspires me. I would love to read some of your books, PS: your comments on Israel were rather bold and far from being discreet but what you said is the truth what you said is correct.

[TheDuckseason]

Helen retire you are a Disgrace , ugly old Krypt Keeper .... doesnt get America

[winglessblog]

Helen uses her seat at the White House Press Corp to disseminate her absurd leftist views... She is EVERYTHING THAT IS WRONG WITH THE NEW-LEFT, which believes they are "anti-war" while everyone else is "pro-war"...

NOBODY IS "PRO-WAR". It's just that some of us realize there are things worth fighting for - and we realize that in this world, weakness is never respected but always taken advantage of. ANTI-WAR?! Really? So I guess we should have let Hitler take the World and sat idly by?!

[MuslimPigFuckers]

Helen is stupid and an extreme left winger biased witch. As a journalist, you are supposed to keep your opinions to yourself and report the news. She is an epic failure. If she wants to report her opinions, go write a fuckin book. We want news, not her biased opinions. Die already you old witch.

[JezzieLS]

This journalist is a legend...plain and simple

[prayandr]

What has Obama done to that would be put on the level of the Bush administration's actions, i.e. starting a war that's left thousands of Americans and hundreds of thousands of Iraqis dead, has been a drain on our economy, etc. based on false pretences. What has Obama done? Overspent? You may disagree with his methods, but can you really question his motives? There's no reason, based on facts, to do this.

[yakyakyak69]

Where is Helen Thomas now and WHY is she NOT condeming the Obama Imperial Presidency?

Right, Progressive-Socialists stick together...

[DarthMai]

Die already!! You can't even ask tough questions just because this present administration is a Democrat. What about the present war on Afghanistan? SHe didn't say anything now,..she is a moron and will always be.

[TheMercilessEye]

@DarthMai

Correction: the only moron I see in this particular post, is yourself. Idiot.

[TheS10shorty]

I give it to this lady! She sure does her job not just with Bush but she sure told off Gibbs the other day. Obama needs to be asked tough questions without them being pre slected. I really enjoied watching that. It lets me know SOMEONE out tehre wants the TRUTHS and not a presugar coated bunch of BS!

[Kabaraz]

She is the first person I have ever seen in such a position of "power" who seeks the truth, and just doesn't buy into bullshit. The same cannot be said for the commenter below me - an obvious tool of idiot propaganda.

[ytupa0]

Thank goodness our Gov't isn't at the whim of this ol bat. If defense was at her deposal...we'd be Canada. America has always and will always keep the world safe. You dope smoking college idiots...

[CrunkChipmunk]

If defense was at her disposal 911 never would've happened and we'd be loved around the world. You fascist neocon idiots...

[ytupa0]

Why did 911 happen?

[CrunkChipmunk]

The US government needed a convenient excuse to go to war with the middle east. 911= total inside job.

[TheMercilessEye]

@CrunkChipmunk = Just Another Crank

[TheMercilessEye]

@ytupa0 9-11 happened because of Corporate America's continued foreign policy of supporting the essentially-illegal state of Israel and their suppression of the Palestinians, our penchant for exploiting and pillaging the resources of non-superpower states and for the installation of Dictators (i.e. the Shah of Iran) who are friendly to the agendas of the corporations. This is why the WORLD TRADE CENTER was the target, NOT the White House...and we STILL don't seem to 'GET IT"...

[piontro]

People like Helen Thomas are the great Americans that can make a difference for the world.

[surinder5000]

america was still dealing with vietnam vets now they will have fresh new vets from iraq to deal with go go bush what a great president you were shame on you bush what was it all for do you ever ask yourself or do you even have a soul??

[piontro]

Don forget the ones from Mogadishu and Afghanistan.

[alSation81]

Bush ... a day old turd in a broken toilet.

soon as the plumber comes you can flush that stale old piece of shit away

[hudspud]

Old Hag!

[rachelabombdotcom]

brilliant! She's awesome and you're dumb

[hoganfader]

The crypt keeper here jumped the shark about time of the Lincoln Admin. Tell her to hide her adam's apple.

[rebelliontotyrants]

I say, Helen Thomas for president!!!!! Most everything she says is refreshing and truly an American Patriot. She is an intelligent Constitutionalist and I admire and adore her!!!

[TSquared2001]

You and many others. I would hope to see more Helen Thomas's in the world.

[robitrest]

Emperor Bush.

[saadasim]

How come Helen Thomas is more smarter than Bush, the most powerful person in the planet? And the neocons want another dunce - McCain to be president!

[ROOKTABULA]

Can you go sit somewhere quietly and expire please? To ensure your genes and fabulous mind aren't passed down another generation?

Thanx, you fukking mouthbreather.

[dakotajoman]

You are an ugly cruel person to attack this patriot. You are whats wrong with the U.S.

[mrkemrk]

People like you, sadly, breed like rabbits. You are Darwinism gone wrong, where the slow, stupid, and uninspired are navigating this American experience into the Rocks of Idiocracy.

[ROOKTABULA]

Quit posting about your mom and quit having sex with quadrupeds.

[Pedroskini]

I love this lady. She says things like they are, without any hypocrisy. Thumbs up, Helen, never change the way you are. America needs more people with brains like you.

[diecrewdeluks]

''dumbing down our country'' !!

[aviomaster]

Bush and his gang of JEWS and criminals ...

[macflyfilm]

Enjoy your flowers Helen - they're coming!!

[aviomaster]

VERY SMART  woman ...

[JacksonWesleyRice]

"You can't shoot people in their own county to liberate them". Well said Helen. I honor those who have gone to Iraq to help them. They are not to be blamed but the one who gives the order. I hope that their sacrifice will not be in vain even with injustice that started this dishonorable war.

[tuzmor]

I give your comment a "thumbs up" - BUT:

You gotta admit - there are a lot of dumb ass motherfuckers doing a lot of senseless killing in Iraq. Especially those private security assholes.

[christalonkade]

Moreover,Your "god"

and the gods of others is a huge reason for all of the senseless killing and suicide bombings today and throughout history. These bronze age belief systems plus modern technology/weaponry pose a serious threat to the world societies, the US included. It may be only a matter of time before some other religious nuts get a nuke and kill millions in the name of a supernatural creature. The rest of us can be thankful for someone like Helen who has the courage to speak out.

[jpvaldez]

Shame on you Helen Thomas and all those who with an awful disrespect for God, neglect the need of our brothers and sisters on Iraq as well the needs of America.Respect is a word so much needed in our days.Selfishness and ignorance is to delay the work that must be done and criticize the good work that men and women of honor are doing.If you don't do this work let them do it so that you can wake up tomorrow and see the sun from your window as you are used to do.God bless America.

[christalonkade]

Shame on you jpvaldez. She DOES respect our brothers and sisters and this is why she is exposing this bogus war [as if it isnt blindingly obvious]for what it is.

[jpvaldez]

she DOESN'T and YOU DON'T respect the effort of those who are giving their lives so that you CAN live in freedom. people talk easily because et they tremble in face of death and of course they didn't pass what the Iraqi people passed.its easy to give up and choose an imaginary peaceful way. its one of the most disgusting things upon earth today. people don't learn what is good and noble but watch to the lies the mass media teaches them and adopt it as a truth. God Bless America

[truegrass]

The marines have washed your brain boy

[t4705mb6]

You drank the Kool-Aid! What a fool. Sorry for you.

[gobigorange99]

Helen Rocks!!!

[ladalang]

She is awesome to stand up to the powers that be. Ron Paul 2008

[Amy31415]

She's seriously pretty awesome.

Love of freedom is indeed contagious.

[DemeterMuse]

I'm now a former Liberal Democrat, turned Republican; because I believe there is only one current candidate with the resolve to end this Unconstitutional War.

Vote for and Support Ron Paul!

* teaparty07 (dot) com

* RonPaul2008 (dot) com

[chgoyette]

"Aided and abetted by Chicken Democrats"... yes, let us not forget that the Bush Administration's plans to invade Iraq could have been foiled had it not been for our invertebrate Congress allowing it to happen. They didn't have the balls to due their Constitutional duty!

Remember, there is little difference between the Dems and the Repubs - just two factions of a one-party state!

[VegasRage]

Helen we need more people like you.

[soupsdone]

Who taught that bulldog to speak? That's pretty amazing.

[manhunter79]

Well, considering someone somehow managed to teach YOU, I don't see the mystery.

[lilyrou678]

ummm...she's 85 and i think that u will look like this wen you become in this age!!so don't try to be funny!!!she's not 20!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Naej27]

If Iraq didn't do it, was it a conspiracy by our Government? Many Americans believe that!

[ToddonCapeCod]

Many Americans are insane!!

[Naej27]

Helen is right on the mark! Why did we go to war on Iraq? Bush won't answer this simple question and puts it off on United Nations..and blah blah blah. If Iraq didn't do it, was it a conspiracy done by our Gov't? Many people think so!

[ToddonCapeCod]

Many people are insane!!

[lrlbox21]

she looks like a toad fish

[manhunter79]

Even if what she looks like was relevant, I'd say you'll look as bad, if not worse at 87 years of age. I'm not sure you'll be 1/10th as sharp as she is though.

[lrlbox21]

shes a washed up old liberal hag. She needs to go somewhere and die

[HnstlyShdy7]

You are a piece of shit. You'd think a 46 year old man would have more respect for people from her great generation. Do the world a favor and go drink yourself to death you miserable scumbag.

[ParapaDrifter]

lol I figured there would be no retort from Irlbox.... He is somewhat of an example of an American Nationalist. Be weary of people like that.. they are not Americans.

[madisonhack]

If she were a man, you wouldn't make that comment. You are bigoted, and at 46 years old, you have lived long enough to have learned enough to get past your fear of women.

[Largo64]

Helen Thomas is a journalist, not a finalist in the Mrs. America contest. Who cares about her looks. It's her words that count. She is a national treasure, and obviously a better person than you are. I doubt that, even if she saw you, she would make snide and irrelevant remarks about your appearance.

[softearth]

Vote Ron Paul 2008

[TarotFate]

Vote Ron Paul 2008!

[file83]

Once again, Helen breaks it down to brass tacks. Bush's legacy is doomed, the war in Iraq is wrong all the way around, and the Democrats are floundering with there regained power.

[greatbroad]

2X Medal of Honor, Gen. Semedley D. Butler wrote: "I was a gangster of Capitalism," and if you Google and read his words, all will be explained...

[WNanette]

Which wire or newspaper does she write for, anyone know?

[hamsterpoop]

Hearst Newspapers...

[OhTheBill]

Helen Thomas should win the Presidential Medal of Freedom from the next President.

[JizzonTheDark]

Truth is contagious.

[flowerpunkchip]

fantastic woman, why can't there be more people like her?

[iggy27707]

People are too afraid. Helen knows her time has come and gone and has nothing to lose, so she leaves it all out in the public domain. Brave woman. Everyone else is busy worrying about their careers and access.

[hamsterpoop]

very true. i think Mike Gravel is in a similar situation.

[lynx410]

I agree- Helen Thomas is journalist a of exceptional integrity and an eloquent chronicler of the corrupt and incompetent government we are living under .

[Unpromoted]

This lady is brilliant. No wonder Bush, Cheney Rove and their ilk hate and fear her.
