[O.C. - Old Cracker]

It's as if the construction of each line was preceded by a drag on a Virginia Slim and a shot of tequila. The article picks up speed like a drunk driver and gets progressively erratic. I half expected there to be a scrawled scream at the end.

i really like the babyback side ribs.

but there was no question he was their unchallenged spiritual and political leader.

That is precisely the problem, and that is one of several reasons the Palestinians must never be granted sovereignty.

There also were reports of corruption and nepotism.

No kidding. A guy with no personal income died a billionaire. A guy whose primary source of funding was international aid intended to help his people managed to become one of the wealthiest men in the world while the people the money was intended for starved, and still he gets a statesman's sendoff.

The president strongly denounced the Palestinian suicide bombers who took the lives of so many innocent Israelis, but he gave the Israelis a pass when they went into Palestinian refugee camps in Gaza with American-supplied tanks, helicopters and planes to put down the revolt against occupation.

This passes for news in some quarters, that someone should denounce the slaughter of innocents, and that others should visit retribution on their murderers.

The U.S. government ignored his plight

The US government is the main reason he died in bed, rather than lit up like a roman candle as he ought to have been.

Yuck!!!! Can't think...must puke...better now. How about if the Arab countries start treating the Palestinians nicely, then, we might pay more attention to their self imposed plight?

There's good old Helen out campaigning for Republicans again. This woman, Molly Ivans, and Maureen Dowd have swayed more votes to the conservative side than Carl Rove has.

This has nothing to do with Helen Thomas or her nutburger rantings. I just like it.

Hellin is just p!$$#d because she was runner-up in the Miss Ugly Universe pageant to the Israeli contestant:

Arafat: A Man Of His People

His people are ugly, diseased, corrupt little sodomite terrorist scumbags? All of them?

[rdb3]

Deal fairly? You mean like the so-called Palestinians dealt fairly with innocent, non-combatants?

[onedoug]

There is no "Palestine".

Yet, by all means, give them Gaza and get them the hell off the West Bank.

[Reactionary]

I see the liberal socialist troll has spoken. Arafat was a hero! He was no terrorist!

Such garbage infects the idiot liberal brain.

[Cinnamon Girl]

Remember these guys, Helen? Was the 1972 Olympics somehow trampling on Arafat's rights?

[monkeyshine]

She lives in her own fantasy world, not in the obective reality as the rest of us.

[libwacker]

Can we really expect anything profound from this disconnected wind-bag?

[Radix]

There are so many incredibly stupid comments in this article.

Helen Thomas is clearly demented.

I'd rightfully be banned from FR.com if I posted what I really think of this ugly skanks incredibly ignorant and biased opinions.

There's an upside.... Thank God she never procreated

[HardStarboard]

>>>Arafat shared the Nobel peace prize in 1994....<<<

To the eternal devaluation of any and every Nobel prize since and to follow.

[Viking2002]

Die, you hideous old bitch. Do it in public so we may savor the moment.......

The title needs a disclaimer such as "Disturbing Images."

Abba Eban once noted that the Palestinians never miss a chance to miss a chance, and he is right.

Euthanasia has its place.
