I did not realize she was a liberal.

Does that mean that it is acceptable once again to tell Helen Keller jokes?

---

How did Helen Keller burn her face?

She answered the iron.

[wideawake]

Helen Keller embraced pure evil as an adult.

She was born and lived to a great age despite her disabilities because her parents were good Christian people who believed she was a gift to them from the Lord.

Yet she threw her support behind Margaret Sanger, who believed that women like Helen keller should never have been born.

helen Keller deserves all the recognition and respect that we would give to a Jew who supported Hitler.

[Dallas59]

How did Helen Kellers mother punisher her?

Her mother moved the furniture around.

[caver]

I didn't know she was such a leftist. Now I understand why we spent so much time in school learning about her.

[SIDENET]

who was a pacifist and didn’t want to go to war

I wouldn't want her to go to war, either. She probably couldn't shoot worth a damn.

;-)

[SIDENET]

How did Helen Keller go crazy?

She tried to read a stucco wall.

[KevinDavis]

I wonder if they are going to do a musical about Helen Keller..

[KidGlock]

Question:

What did Helen Keller say when she was falling down the stairs?

Answer:

(imagine me gyrating back and forth frantically doing sign language)

[RetiredArmy]

A white-haired Helen is framed with her favorite scripture, the 23rd Psalm.

I seriously doubt that any leftists and liberals today even know what Chapter of the Bible to find this verse in!! They certainly do not know it or can even recite the first words of it.

[Paleo Conservative]

What did Helen Keller ever really know about the real world?

[Dallas59]

"I wonder if they are going to do a musical about Helen Keller.."

[Alouette]

[Borges]

Her moral vision was commensurate with her physical vision.

[hoppity]

Why was her leg yellow?

Her dog was blind, too.

[Mr. Jazzy]

If Ms. Keller were alive today and informed of the untold millions upon millions of deaths that socialism and the despots of socialism would inflict on the world, I am certain that she would repent of her foolish eailier views of her life.

[Dallas59]

At least the State didn't starve her to death.

[Monterrosa-24]

Some of her writings were anything but liberal. Perhaps her most famous quotation is "There is no slave without a king among his ancestors and there is no king without a slave among his ancestors." Makes reparations sorta difficult following that line.

[Monterrosa-24]

When you were in Tuscumbia did you see Helen Keller's home? Neither did she.

[wideawake]

If Ms. Keller were alive today and informed of the untold millions upon millions of deaths that socialism and the despots of socialism would inflict on the world, I am certain that she would repent of her foolish eailier views of her life.

Helen Keller died in 1968, and she was still lucid up to that point.

She was able to address the public on civil rights issues, her love of the wacky system known as Swedenborgianism, and was quite up on current events.

Yet she never saw the need to publicly disavow her avid support of Soviet Communism.
