From Real Time with Bill Maher last night:
DAN SENOR: For three decades weve been told by the foreign policy establishment that people in the Arab world dont want the right to vote, they dont want to live in a free society
HELEN THOMAS: Theyve never been told that.
SENOR:and, and weve been consistently told that, just like we were told about the Russians, just like we were told about the Chinese and the fact is, when weve given the Afghanis the vote
THOMAS: They dont want to be invaded; they dont want to be killed.
[applause]
SENOR: Ok. But when we give
THOMAS: And they dont want to be forced, they can be The Grateful Dead.
SENOR: When we give Afghanis and Iraqis the right to vote, they turned out in the millions and millions, in the last election 11 million Iraqis
THOMAS: You have no right to give these people whatever. They are a sovereign nation, you invaded them without any cause, they did nothing to us.
[applause]
THOMAS: I think its terrible to invade a country that did nothing to us and did not attack us.
SENOR: Did you think that it was a good thing or a bad thing that millions, and millions, and millions of people who lived in tyranny now can go to the ballot box.
THOMAS: I think that it would be a good thing if would say how many thousands of people you killed.

If WJ Clinton had freed the Iraqis, Helen would be glorifying him.

THOMAS: You have no right to give these people whatever. They are a sovereign nation Helen thinks that there is an unalienable right for a dictator to rule his country. Helen doesn't think that there is an unalienable right to freedom.
Helen is a dope.

Helen Thomas thinks that the Aghan based Taliban supported Al Qaeda did not attack the US on 9/11?

Are the MSM/dems stuck on "abosulutely stupid"?
I can't believe how out of touch they have become. Not just with the people, but the idea of America.
The hate and disdain they display because they have lost control on the information people receive now, because people can finally see the truth and facts without distortion is abominable.

"THOMAS: I think its terrible to invade a country that did nothing to us and did not attack us." Then she would be in agreement with the opinion of Adolf Hitler. Germany didn't attack us first in WW2.
Poor Helen... she was born with a silver stake in her heart. She should just get back in her box before the sun rises.

Helen Thomas does wonders for the Republican Party. This fact goes totally unnoticed by her and most far-left Democrats.

Well, I believe they did declare first. US declared on Japan on 12/8, I think, followed by Germany’s declaration on the US since they had a pact with Japan, then ours against them.
