MARION, Ohio (AP) - In a radio interview, former White House correspondent Helen Thomas acknowledges she touched a nerve with remarks about Israel that led to her retirement. But she says the comments were "exactly what I thought," even though she realized soon afterward that it was the end of her job.
"I hit the third rail. You cannot criticize Israel in this country and survive," Thomas told Ohio station WMRN-AM in a sometimes emotional 35-minute interview that aired Tuesday...

Jewish people can’t eat Baloney, Helen.
Egad: 35 minutes listening to that crazed old shrew? What kind of a radio station is that?
No pictures please!!!!
Pissant to post in 5...4...3...2..1...
No! But you can spend decades on the front row of the White house press room and be a antisemitic moron!!
No Helen. The national tragedy is that you and your tripe is still being published after you were exposed for the nasty Israel hating scum you are.
Asked about tea party-backed Republican Delaware Senate candidate Christine O'Donnell, Thomas responded with one word: "Frightening."
With Helen's endorsement, I like them both even more now than five minutes ago.
“But she says the comments were “exactly what I thought,” even though she realized soon afterward that it was the end of her job.”
Well join the club, you old rag. Because of your ilk, a lot of decent people said reasonable things and also lost their job.
And not only that, a lot of people somehow have the freedom to say some pretty rotten (and untrue) things over and over, and somehow get to keep their jobs.
This is the world you helped create.
They used to pipe that same radio station in to every cell at Gitmo; but the CIA director was visiting and overheard the Helen Thomas interview. He decided it amounted to torture, and ordered that the station be changed to one which plays all-Barry Manilow, all-the-time.
Nonsense. Heck, *I* criticize Israel sometimes. American criticism of Israel policy is to be found all over the place, and some of it is even legitimate!
What Helen Thomas did was display overt racism by slandering Jews in general, and insensitively telling them to "go back" to countries like Germany, where murderous genocide was perpetrated upon Jews by any reasonable standard.
A more perfect example of blind hatred cannot be presented. No nuance or subtlety did Helen Thomas exhibit: just raw, open Malice...
Don’t worry Thomas, most of the Semites you apparently despise, wouldn’t even think of voting for Sarah Palin.
Ditto. btw, love your tagline. :)
Just the thought is bad enough, no pictures please.
The ‘President’ we have NOW is a national tragedy
Stunning. I guess insanity, delusion and irrational venom make for very strange bedfellows, indeed. The salivating PDS pack are still stuck on another Palin thread from yesterday, feverishly rolling the ball-bearings in their shaking fists.
LMAO!!!
8^D
Looking at Helen Thomas’s face is a national tragedy..I won’t be able to eat for hours
“You can’t criticize Israel in this country and survive?” Oh please!! Leftists have been ATTACKING Israel for years, Helen. Can’t you be honest even in RETIREMENT??
