Here's what the jackass said about Ted Kennedy:

And that’s one reason he became not only one of the greatest senators of our time, but one of the most accomplished Americans ever to serve our democracy.

His extraordinary life on this earth has come to an end. And the extraordinary good that he did lives on. For his family, he was a guardian. For America, he was the defender of a dream.

Being a drunkard and killing an innocent woman was "extraordinary good"?

Helen’s comments were “offensive” because Omoslem expects his Jew haters to keep their mouths shut in public.

If anyone’s not sure Omoslem hates Jews, listen to his Cairo speech. Then observe his treatment of Netanyahu. Then note his new “Nuclear Posture” for the USA (aka for Israel) of “You can hit us with Chem/Bio, but starting today, we won’t NUKE you. So, gas us! What are you waiting for?”

What a dirty moslem.

Hitler was a nasty guy, but he sure knew what he was doing when he had the Autobahns built. Maybe, because of this, we should change our minds about him, huh?

Nah! He was still pure evil.....and so is Helen Thomas.

He didn’t throw the real bigot Helen under the bus like he did his typical white granny. I guess he thought there was no points to be made.

Well, gosh, Adolph Hitler had an amazing career, except for that “offensive” stuff....Obama is a mental illness.
