If true, the statement by Colter is racist and dispicable.
From what I know of Colter, I wouldn't doubt it.
Her and Mike Savage are our version of Michael Moore, and should be shunned.
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.
Besides, The Rules Call For A Pic
You spell and use grammar like Arabic is your first language!
Considering these things:
1. The outrageous things Thomas has said about the President and Admin.
2. The fact that she is both old and of Lebanese descent.---
I don't think calling her an old Arab is so very bad. Compare that with calling Bush Hitler, Rumsfeld a facist, etc.-which are NON-factual.When have any of the media besides Rush et al EVER called Thomas on some of her lying remarks.
It was, however, not good politics on Ann's part; but Ann does not play the PC game.
I don't care how venerable the press thinks Thomas is, she cut her own throat when she said MANY of the things she has said about this Admin. I think her press pass should have been revoked. That
the President usurped her closing of the press conferences limelight is great. You do not reward and venerate people for spitting in your face and on the office of the President.

Second, I find her statement both amusing and justified.
Coulter is brilliant and a member of the conservative team. While Savage occasionally goes off the deep end, he means well and his loyalties are with us.
"Her and Mike Savage...should be shunned." Hate to disappoint you, but it ain't gonna happen. Perhaps you can persuade DoJ that this "slur" amounts to a hate crime...
Whats dispicable is letting that old hag deplete the oxygen in the pressroom. In so far as her race is concerned, she acts more like an arab that an American.
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.
Knock yourself out, dude.
Boy are you brave! I was just lurking this thread, thinking the same to myself. I don't agree with Ann on every issue, and she, like Michelle Malkin, do have a tendency annoy me. If I want to hear a hysterical women rant about how bad things are, I'll listen to myself. However, in Ann's defense, she does have a great sense of humor, so perhaps she was, in her way, making a funny.
