Reich wing smears Helen Thomas, for trying to get to the truth

[killerbush]

The loonies that infestate the reich wing, attacked Helen Thomas for simply trying to get Bush to tell the truth about Iraq. Time after time, Bush couldn't answer, or didn't want to answer Thomas' questions. Just look at some of the quotes from the neo-con wingnuts recently.

Bill O'Reilly; She hates Bush, and will do anything to undermine his policies. He also said if he were Bush, he would have "laid her out".

Don Imus; Called her disrespectful. "The old bag should shut up and get out. I'm sick of her".

Jonah Goldberg; Called her a "Thespian carbuncle of bile".

Glenn Beck; played goat noises in the background while Thomas was asking her questions, just to mock Thomas. (And CNN wants to hire this buffoon??!!)

Tucker Carlson; Thomas is a "reporter turned propagandist". He also questioned her skills as a reporter, and also accused her of "bloveating on the air".

Republican Karen Hanratty; "Thomas is the embodiment of Howard Dean, George Soros and Cindy Sheehan. They're all vitriolic and assertive". (This is a bad thing??)


Just more of the same from the insane reich wing.

4. Helen Thomas intimidates them because she isn't afraid to ask

the hard questions regardless the position of the person she is covering. If these people had half the grit that Helen has, they would be applauding her instead of reviling her. She makes them look inept in comparison.

5. well it's praise of course!

All of the people you've mentioned think that the more powerful your enemy the more important it makes you.

So they've chosen to "take on" liberals, and the liberal media and Powerful Secret Agenda Gays and Black Ops Hillary, and here is a frail little old lady who took on the second most powerful entity in their universe after god (or possibly even Clinton's Penis) and didn't blink.

Jealous little pissypants -

6. That's why I'm so happy we're sending her those roses.

They're all swine.

7. Thanks for the info

I knew she was being scorned for it, but I hadn't realized it was such a mass vituperation. I need to check Media Matters more often.

They have all the dirt. What a page.

Why didn't anyone else follow up her question?

8. Please note .... note one questioned her question to the President

attack the messenger

bush awol make it about Dan Rather

bush spying make it about fighting terrorists

Cheney shot a man after drinking make it about the delivery
of the message to a small town paper .... not the shooting.

distract and attack distract and attack

out a CIA agent ..... Joe Wilson supported Kerry

millions protest the Iraq war .... Cindy Sheenan is under leftist control

massive voting fraud ..... talk about democratic party vote frauds.

9. She's often alone

She said on Bill Maher that in the old days other reporters would follow-up her questions, help her press issues but these days that doesn't happen. Perhaps if the press got as excited every day as they did when Cheney shot his best friend she wouldn't be a lone loony but, once again, one of many diligent reports.

10. What would they do without a boogey man to assail?

the poor, poor persecuted right, the poor sad little victim bush - a river of blood flowing at his insistence, and he's the one deserving pity.

what a sick, vile little group

honesty, justice, the truth which is clear for all to see, are as expendable and irrelevant to these cowards as the bodies of the young and poor they and their bullshit leaders send to murder and kill and die for lies

and anyone that says anything about it is the problem

bozo's like oreilly and imus slandering a real journalist for seeking the truth - what a wretched little gang of self-important gas bags

12. And not a journalist among them.

Therefore, they are not fit to judge.

13. I'm sure Helen considers it a compliment

to be insulted by these ignorant fools. It means she's doing her job right! As another poster stated, They're not journalists, so they have no right to criticize her.
