Hooray, Helen! It’s about time someone in the Press Corps spoke up. At 89, Helen Thomas is a veteran White House reporter who has covered every administration since John F. Kennedy. When a self-proclaimed liberal reporter such as Thomas compares Obama unfavorably to Nixon, I take note. She’s a reporter, calling it the way she sees it:
“Nixon didn’t try to do that,” Thomas said. “They couldn’t control (the media). They didn’t try.
“What the hell do they think we are, puppets?” Thomas said. “They’re supposed to stay out of our business. They are our public servants. We pay them.”
Thomas said she was especially concerned about the arrangement between the Obama Administration and a writer from the liberal Huffington Post Web site. The writer was invited by the White House to President Obama’s press conference last week on the understanding that he would ask Obama a question about Iran from among questions that had been sent to him by people in Iran.
“When you call the reporter the night before you know damn well what they are going to ask to control you,” Thomas said.
“I’m not saying there has never been managed news before, but this is carried to fare-thee-well–for the town halls, for the press conferences,” she said. “It’s blatant. They don’t give a damn if you know it or not. They ought to be hanging their heads in shame.”
Dov Charney, sleazy Canadian-born founder of the clothing line American Apparel, is finally being investigated for undermining American workers.
Last year, American Apparel ran ads about illegal immigration in major newspapers. The “newspaper spots all but said that American Apparel, like many other U.S. employers, makes use of illegal-immigrant labor.”
The Dame Truth and I are pleased to welcome Joseph Farah, editor of World Net Daily, as a guest this evening on Constitutional Radio, beginning at 9 pm EST. Tonight’s show will focus on whether the combined efforts of many, and the education of the general public have resulted in “critical mass” awareness of Obama as a usurper of the office of the Presidency. We will also discuss Obama’s responses to Iran and to Honduras as revealing of his own strategy regarding the United States and the moral quandry the military faces. Finally, we will discuss the growing spine of Congress in correcting Obama regarding his statements as to the origin of our country:
Please join us for an interesting and lively discussion!
Rally for the Republic!
Constitutional Radioand The Dame Truth will be hosting a Rally for the Republic on July 4th at Independence Hall in Philadelphia. The rally begins at 12 noon with a reading of our Declaration of Independence and then moves to join several other tea parties being held that day in Philadelphia. At 3 pm, the Rally for the Republic will return to Independence Hall to read our Constitution. Constitutional Radio will broadcast live from the event with numerous interviews scheduled as well. A recap of the day will be broadcast at 11 pm EST on blog talk radio’s “Kicking Back with Central Park“.
If you can join us physically or on blog talk radio, please do so. There will be numerous strategy sessions, too, to plan for the September 12th Million Patriot March on Washington D.C. The calls for the restoration of our Constitutional Republic are getting louder and louder. We, the people, are finding our voices!
The far-Left’s War Against White Men was handed a major defeat today. The Supreme Court, in a 5-4 decision, has declared that governments can no longer throw out test results after the fact so that they can then discriminate on the basis of race. Justice Kennedy, writing for the majority:
I LOVE this woman. Here’s Sarah, entertaining the Alaska troupes by recounting her reaction to John Kerry’s “joke” that he’d wish Palin would go missing like Sanford did. Of course we know that Kerry really meant it, because Sanford would never have been a serious 2012 threat. Palin, on the other hand….well, she is a Natural Born Leader.
ACORN, the socialist shakedown organization and Obama voter fraud shock troops, will not be investigated by Congress. In a rare case of honesty on the Hill, Rep. John Conyers said that: “The powers that be decided against it.”
The news of South Carolina Governor Mark Sanford’s cheating has me thinking about public morality and private failings.
The known list is long:
FDR, Eisenhower, JFK, LBJ, George H.W. Bush, Bill Clinton, James McGreevey, Larry Craig, Senator David Vitter, Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa, San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom, New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani, Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick, Gary Condit, John Edwards, Gary Hart, Newt Gingrich (twice), Eliot Spitzer, Senator Ensign, Henry Hyde, Rep. Bob Livingston, and Mark Sanford.
I have been doing my best to keep up with the events in Iran, work my full-time job, and report what’s going on out there. It is a complex, in flux beast so I will give you the highlights as best I can. Firstly, it is vital to understand that what is going on in Iran in terms of the election totals, etc., is a reflection of a behind the scenes power struggle, largely between Akbar Rafsanjani and Khamenei. Igogettajob and Mousavi are essentially the same guy, the only real difference is tone, and which mullahs are backing them. When Khomeni died he left Iran in basically the same state that Alexander the Great left the Macedonian empire upon his death: a great big mess where the principle powers struggled for dominance. One could almost envision the mullahs gathered around the dying Khomeni and asking who would succeed him. Accounts say Alexander said the empire would go to, “the strongest.” There are signs and signals all over, and even the satellites in the Iranian sphere of influence seem to be nervous (forgive me for linking to my blog, but things are constantly moving and I don’t have time to break it all down).
But what is really important is not what is happening behind the scenes with the mullahs. It is on the street where things are happening. Anyone who tells you this movement is about Mousavi is not properly reading the tea leaves. The people in the street have one goal: bringing down the theocracy. As Bibi Netanyahu, the first world leader to say so, this is a freedom movement. For the doubters who think they just want to replace one extremist with another I present two pieces of evidence:
TD NOTE: Tune in now! It’s my fault this announcement is going up late. Sorry, Kate!
Every Tuesday 9 pm eastern.
On the right hand side of your screen, you will notice the Puma in the Patriot’s cap logo for Constitutional Radio…and this post is a friendly reminder to listen this evening if you’ve got the time.
Tonight’s show, hosted by The Dame & DrKate, will feature highlights from Iran and our own country’s efforts in the episode Resisting Tyranny. We open the program to honor Neda’s life and sacrifice by discussing Iran, protest, and the long view from a variety of perspectives.
As we acknowledge the role of women in protest and revolution in Iran as shown in the very confident and beautiful photograph below:
Rich Lowry, editor of National Review, imagines the mistakes an ultra-Leftist administration could make which would sink socialized medicine. There are no Republican “evil geniuses” to head up this fight; Karl Rove is busy writing his book, Republicans are demoralized, and Democrats are united. What to do?
