Yuck.

...made it their mission to see President Barack Obama fail”

How is that different from what the Dems did for years...even politicizing the war for the plain and simple purpose of increasing Republican negatives?

Thomas knows this cuz it's what the Dems practiced for 8 years, and she was probably in on it, doing what she could to make Bush look bad.
Dems always accuse others of doing exactly what they do, knowing the media will back them up.

But on health care reform -- the jewel in the crown -- the president has made too many compromises that ended up weakening the proposals. Perhaps the president’s biggest mistake was to let Sen. Max Baucus, D-Mont., chairman of the Senate Finance Committee, carry the ball on health reform. Baucus and his committee produced wimpy legislation that can hardly be called a "reform" bill.

Yes, of course, because Obama's decades of crafting legislation would have gone into this if he'd done the job himself, right?

Have you ever encountered such mean spiritedness and political conniving as are now on display on Capitol Hill?

Mean spirited and conniving are the democrat way. Not to mention corrupt and dishonest.

More revisionist history crap out of Helen Thomas. At least she admits to being biased, now if she’d only admit to being a habitual liar.

Which is funnier, the idea that it's the REPUBLICANS responsible for the mean spiritedness and political conniving (Ben Nelson? mary Landreu???), or that she's sorry to say it's "Republicans"?

Off to the death panel with you, old man!

I knew that I was going to have to look at that picture to pay for the benefits of reading the thread, but does the photo have to be so LARGE?

I read her entire column, and it was the most disjointed piece of Old Leftist whimsy that I’ve ever bothered with. I would feel some pity for her and attribute it to her age, but all elitist leftists think like that.

All Americans have a duty to fight for our way of life and that means fighting Socialism.

Real nice, I had to go and wash my eyes out with soap after looking at that. The soap helped the burning to slow down but now a headache has come on. It feels like radiation poison...

Correct, Brytani!

Early on she mentions that Southern legislators opposed LBJ on the Civil Rights thing. She purposely didn’t bother to mention that they were DEMOCRATS and that it was the Republican legislators who actually pressured LBJ to sign the bill. LBJ was a huge racist and anti-black, but as a politician he realized that CR bill could be his “legacy”.

She repeats that lie in the last paragraph when she implied that Republicans opposed LBJ on his liberal social issues.

It's different because Helen Thomas is a Democratic operative and most of the public has the attention span of a hyperactive Labrador Retriever puppy. Remember, Oceania has always been at war with...

Helen Thomas is one of the endless communist/socialist malicious liars and historical revisionists that hold power in the USA.

She lies boldly and aggressively because she has what Thomas Sowell calls The Vision of the Annointed.

98% of what Sen. Joe McCarthy said or predicted has turned out to be true.

“but thousands of workers elsewhere lost their jobs”
Thousands? Try millions, Helen.
There are so many koolaid moments in this article I don’t know where to go.
I’ll just use this one shining example of her stupidity.
