REPORTER VOWS TO 'KILL SELF' IF CHENEY RUNS FOR PRESIDENTThu Jul 28 2005 15:32:13 ET
Veteran wire reporter Helen Thomas is vowing to 'kill herself' if Dick Cheney announces he is running for president.
The newspaper HILL first reported the startling claim on Thursday.
"The day Dick Cheney is going to run for president, I'll kill myself," she told the HILL. "All we need is one more liar."
Thomas added, "I think he'd like to run, but it would be a sad day for the country if he does."
Now that would be a real loss!

European don't think everyone else in the world is just like them. This is more an American problem. Europeans have better knowledge and understanding of this big world (after all only 30 % of Americans have a passport and, more worrying is the fact that almost 40 % of them believe that Canada is the 51st state. Every knows that Britain is the 51st state !). We have learned our geography lessons the hard way.
The way you reacted after 9/11 makes us think that you are indeed a bunch of "frail emotionally insecure women" as you put it (quite derogatory to women, by the way).
As for approval and admiration, you need both like any clown needs a cheering audience.

Yes, we should have reacted to 911 the way the Europeons did when Hitler marched into the Sudetenland and said "golly lets talk it over".

We are not appeasing cowards like the Europeons. Unfortunatly we will have to come to your aid once again to defeat the muslims. This will happen after one or more of your cities are nuked and millions of Europeons die. History repeats itself. Why? Because human nature does not change. The Europeons are destined to be cowards and wimps as they have been in the past. America is destined for greatness as it has been in the past. BTW, any new mosques in your area?

This is grossly irresponsible on the part of Helen Thomas. She's been around long enough to know better than to say things like this. If she was my employee, I would have fired her already.
For years the liberals have been denying the bias in the press and then Helen steps up and exposes it. Suppose Cheney does run? Now we can be certain that Helen Thomas and any news organization she works for is slanting the news to discredit Cheney. We can also be certain she is doing it now after expressing such bias by calling Cheney and Bush liars. Did she ever make such comments about Clinton - a proven liar that was found guilty of perjury? Not that I was able to find.
If anyone ever doubted the liberal bias of the press, here it is - blatant and impossible to ignore.

HELEN THOMAS ANGRY AFTER 'KILL SELF' OVER CHENEY COMMENTS PUBLISHED
White House press doyenne Helen Thomas is plenty peeved at her longtime friend Albert Eisele, editor of THE HILL newspaper in Washington, D.C.
In a column this week headlined "Reporter: Cheney's Not Presidential Material," Eisele quoted Thomas as saying "The day Dick Cheney is going to run for president, I'll kill myself. All we need is one more liar."
Thomas also said: "I think he'd like to run, but it would be a sad day for the country if he does," according to Eisele's column.
But Thomas said yesterday at the White House that her comments to Eisele were for his ears only. "I'll never talk to a reporter again!" Thomas was overheard saying.
"We were just talking -- I was ranting -- and he wrote about it. That isn't right. We all say stuff we don't want printed," Thomas said.
But Eisele said that when he called Thomas, "I assume she knew that we were on the record."
"She's obviously very upset about it, but it was a small item -- until Drudge picked it up and broadcast it across the universe," Eisele said.
Still, he noted that reporters aren't that happy when the tables are turned. "Nobody has thinner skin than reporters," Eisele said with a laugh.

Your argument boiled down to "Expelling or executign all of Cuba's most economically succesfull citizens and implementing a series of economic reforms that never worked in the history of the world WOULD have worked in Cuba, but the United States was a meanie pants!"
Cuba isn't magic land, communism gutted the Cuban economy just like it gutted the economy of every other nation in which communism was implemented.
As for the U.S' "terrorism" of the Cuban government. When Castro took power in Cuba he had several American citizens who refused to have their property "nationalized" (Read: Stolen.) executed. American citizens were killed by the Cuban government. The ONLY just response to this act of war was a full scale military invasion by the United States. That this did not happen is a mark of the total negligence of the US governnment at the time.
That Fidel Castro and his followers are alive today is an act of negligence by the U.S government in and of itself.

You can laugh, John, but Cheney has been the de facto leader of this country since day one, IMO. If Bush is really running things, why can't he do normal press conferences? Why can't he actually defend his own policies in a spontaneous setting? Why does he only speak in carefully scripted settings? Furthermore, you should read the book "The Education of Paul O'Neill". That says enough about the 'praetorian' setup that Cheney has going in the White House - that is to say, the president is protected by a small clique who keep him isolated from opinions they disagree with, and more or less tell him what to do.

This is why you lefties are still in the dark. it is Bush who is running things, and your(third person) attempt to make him come off as an "amicable dunce" is actually hurting your own attempt to regain power. If you guys would just (first) realize that Collectivist leftism does not work, and (second) look at things rationally, you would have a better chance of making the necessary corrections and become comeptitive again as a major political party.
However, the greatest mistake one can make is to underestimate ones opponent. It has been the ruination of more potential chanpions than anything else in history. You guys are simply repeating the past mistakes.
And note: being a smooth and savy public speaker is NOT THE prerequisite to being a smart leader. it is a rare gift, often accompanied by other major faults, as demonstrated by his adopted brother, Bubba.

Again, you are dilluding yourself, just as you are dilluding yourself about being a Liberal. You are not a liberal, but most likely a Friendly Fascist instead. Real Liberalism is not what you perceive it to be. I suggest you dig deeper into facts, or ask some here of what I am talking about.
And too, Bush is more than a "front man". He is the force behind what is happening in Washington. He simply has some very smart and savy people working for him. A good leader ALWAYS knows how to pick efficient, smart, and loyal subordinants. He has an MBA from Harvard, in case you are unaware. To think that he is simply the "amicable dunce" is putting yourself down, not him. He is doing a magnificant job of allowing you(third person) to underestimate him. It makes his job of defeating his opponents far easier than it should. Do you not have the intelligence AND wisdom to see this?
