Another "Macaca" moment? Not for Helen Thomas.
The Virginian ^ | 6/8/2010 | Moneyrunner

Another "Oh, that biased media" moment:

Another "Macaca" moment, but infinitely worse, and actually bigoted? Not a chance, if the Post can help it.

Remember "Macaca?" The racial slur that no had ever heard of, that no one ever knew? The one that the Washington Post used to brand George Allen a racist and sink his election? The remark that appeared on the Washington Post over 131 times.

Following the Macaca video, the Post ran no fewer than 131 articles on Allen’s slur. Thirteen of the articles slammed Allen on the front page, and 34 were in the national section or on the main editorial page.

If you read the Washington Post today there would be scant mention of a remark that, compared to Macaca, is a nuclear bomb compared to a 4th of July sparkler.

From Pajamas Media:

It is day four of the Helen Thomas saga. The 89-year-old White House doyen, adored by Washington’s liberal mainstream media, told a Jewish rabbi in a video that Jews must “get the hell out of Palestine” and must “go home” to Germany and Poland.

The issue has been raging since Thomas’ ugly comments were released on Friday by RabbiLive.com. Ironically, Thomas made her remarks at a White House Jewish Heritage Month observance.

Meanwhile, over at the Washington Post, there is near silence.

The Washington Post; didn't that used to be a newspaper? I think I have heard of it.

It really hasn’t been a newspaper in years. It’s more like a branch of the DNC cheering section. I think they only take on employee with an IQ under room temperature and they must inheritly be bigots who hate Jews and Americans.

What really pissed me off was that they left her chair empty - kind of like a honor.

This can’t be true. I just heard the new publisher on NPR yesterday (on the odious Diane Riehm show) ... the niece of the old publisher. She said the paper was probably better than its ever been, and that as always, they are in pursuit of the truth.

I thought it was because nobody wanted to sit in a place where she was known to have sat for so long.

She is not running for anything. If she was running for office, perhaps this would cause her problems. I think most liberals just humor her.

I thought Al Gore was the Washington Post.
