Arab Bashing Reaches Low With Thomas Slur

Arab News ^ | March 2, 2005 | Barbara Ferguson

Ha! Were Helen's feelings hurt, or just an excuse for more whining by those not involved? I sure am tired of the whining.

[Askel5]

The use of the word "Arab" does NOT refer to race. There is no such thing as an Arab race. Arab ethnicity, yes, but not race. The constant use of "race-hate" as a bashing term is far MORE despicable than Coulter's reference to Thomas's ethnicity.

Hear hear.

Coulter should have said: "That old Semite, Helen Thomas"

[teenyelliott]

Savage is an embarassment

Okay.

Good for you.

You have an opinion, and I don't care.

I am embarrassed for you because you can't spell.

[Askel5]

Ms. Coulter's venom may be what it takes to expose the left. She has a big mouth and knows how to use it.

Instead of taking cheap shots at the likes of Helen Thomas (whose own don't even defend her), perhaps Coulter could apply her "constitutional scholar" acumen to current events and actions by our government. Or not.

[Jorge]

Now calling an Arab an "Arab" is a mean-spirited slur.

Talk about paranoid.

[Askel5]

=== Bush would be insane if he acknowledged Helen Thomas.


No more so than he would be to acknowledge the "friendly questions" from a poseur conservative whose cyber "smoking guns" are a walk in the park for liberal bloggers to plot.

This is the guy we trust to appoint an Intel Czar?

Ann is not like Moore. Moore is an out and out manipulator of the facts. Ann backs up everything see says.

The left does not have a Coulter. Like Rush says, they lie about everything and haven't told the truth in 40 years.

[WyCoKsRepublican]

She reminds of Oswald Cobblepot in Batman II. No wait.........It is he!

[Wormwood]

Usually when I see something resembling Helen Thomas, it's in tightly coiled piles on my lawn.

[WyCoKsRepublican]

That's a big 10 - 4

[WindOracle]

Wireless keyboard, does not always register the keys, and especially misses a lot of caps. So bite me. Be embarrassed for yourself that you are mindless enough to find such drivel, as Savage spews, amusing. Bet your a Jerry Springer fan too, huh?

[teenyelliott]

I don't want to bite you.

I don't know why everything has to be so serious. Savage is over the top. I don't get my politics or opinions from his information, but I think he is funny.

And as a conservative, why would I think a show about white trash fighting, stripping and interbreeding would be entertaining?

[WindOracle]

I find Savage offensive to the point that I almost suspect him of being a closet liberal whose mission is to be some sick caricature of a conservative. Sorta like how Carrol O'Conner, a liberal pinko, caricatured conservatives as a bunch of narrow-minded bigots with his Archie Bunker character.

[teenyelliott]

Maybe so. But I find some offensive comedians to be funny, as well. I just don't take it seriously.

And I thought Archie Bunker was funny, too.

Ding ding ding ... we have a winner!!

(I figure that's the modus operandi of more than few posters on this site ... the only sad thing being that they're not sick to their stomachs about it but, instead, probably find it such a gas to gig FReepers into a frenzy they continue on and on ... become Favorites, even.)

[WindOracle]

i.e. an agent provocateur.

[texasbluebell]

Why would anyone defend Helen Thomas, a comtemptible old bat who has done nothing but bash this President since he took office, and this country since forever?

Her allegiance is elsewhere.

She does not deserve any respect.

It's about time someone points it out.

[Wonder Warthog]

"What about "Jew" ... is it a race thing or a religious thing?"

Well, since there is no "Jewish race", it cannot be a "race thing". Since there is both Jewish ethnicity, and Jewish religion, it would depend on context. Kind of like Arab and Muslim.

[JoethePirate]

First of all, the leftists routinely use smear labeling against our punditry and political figures, attacking everything from their physical appearance to their religion, even on to their families.

Many Freepers routinely mock the physical appearance of liberals.
