Op-Ed: Helen Thomas - The Ugly Truth

.....

But upon Helen Thomas’ death, TV show host Mika Brzezinski announced on MSNBC that Helen Thomas was her “role model.” CBS News decided to just change history and say that Helen Thomas said that the Jews should go back to “Europe.” CBS erased the word “Germany.”

President Obama lauded Helen Thomas as a “true pioneer,” ignoring her vile anti-Jewish words that had her thrown out of his house. Newspaper obituaries trivialized her bigotry, characterizing it as a small controversy stemming from her feistiness, and newscasters’ dimples’ grinned, “Oh that Helen, ha-ha.”

While every news source and the U.S. Justice Department scour the inforamto beg, steal and borrow to find a nuance of a glimpse of evidence that George Zimmerman is a racist, Helen Thomas is on video blaring and blazing words that threw her out of polite society.

Yet upon her passing, the truth, facts, videos, quotes, and evidence of Helen Thomas being a blatant proud anti-Semite are all buried even before Helen is. Her original apology is sometimes included, but without mention of her continued post apology anti-Jewish words that have been documented. All the media are very quick to throw stones at Rolling Stone magazine’s cover of bombing suspect Tsarnaev, while they themselves air brush and glorify the life of a banished, video proven, anti-Semite Helen Thomas.

Whatever Helen Thomas may have accomplished for females in journalism and women’s rights....

The world is a scary place and those informing us need to pay attention and report with truth. They can start by telling the truth about one of their own. Being a proven banished video documented anti-Semite should not be a small footnote in someone’s obituary. It is ultimately part and parcel of one’s legacy and it infected the world.

I always wonder, whenever some horrible person dies, why we have to pretend they were so “good”. Not saying anything bad about the dead is one thing, but pretending helen thomas was anything but an anti-semitic leftist hag is a lie.

When it comes to the likes of her, I don’t observe that rule. Ted Kennedy, neither. Jimmuh, when his time comes, will get the same.

Will have to ask him when I get there, trodupon.

I suspect Jesus did it because He could and to show his Lordship, but it changed nothing for most people. Very few people have the perception it takes to be a believer and less to live like one...takes a rare human being. In my life, I’ve known about a half dozen or so. But it is a really neat experience that takes place during a true conversion...and I am glad that God allows us to be a part of it.
