Her legacy was tainted long before this latest rant.

[YankeeReb]

Was it only 1/2 a century? I thought she was covering the Lincoln assassination as a cub-reporter.

[org.whodat]

She now enters her long-overdue retirement, tainting a half-century of half-ass White House reporting with the memory of a vile 30-second rant.

[onona]

Really.....way to go out on top, with class. Course it woulda helped if it was there to begin with.......

[MIchaelTArchangel]

Most American “progressives” of her era think national socialism was the way to go ... and they never outgrew their anti-Semitism. She deserves what she brought upon herself ... she should have gotten it about 48 years ago though.

[Pavegunner72]

And rightfully so- this is how history will remember her.

A legacy of hatred and vile.

[rightwingjew]

She is as ugly on the inside as she is on the outside.

[Ann Archy]

She did it to HERSELF!! LOL!!!

[Viking2002]

She was with George at Valley Forge.

"But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: for men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away, for his name is Obama."

[EQAndyBuzz]

Day 4 of Obama not commenting. Where the heck is Rahm Emanuel? I could have sworn he was Jewish and from Israel.

[MaxMax]

Reminds me of my grandmother who became very spiteful and hateful at the end.

[LibLieSlayer]

krauthammer... in another self hating liberal tantrum, stated tonight on the All Stars that helen should have been allowed to stay on and that she should have been asked to explain her remarks. He says that she should enjoy her freedom of speech. I always thought Charles was smart... but he truly is not... not to believe this crap and to support abortion and fetal stem cell research.

Headline says she’s gagged. Turn about is fair play. She’s been making me gag for years.

[tennmountainman]

May she go directly to a nursing home where employee’s will spit in her food.

[pepsionice]

Her peak came in the 1970s. Somewhere in the Regan-era...she became highly judgmental. She’d take one basic fact, and then fluff three hundred words of judgement around that one fact. I think she was coasting through the 80’s...and heading downward for the past two decades. The funny thing is that the AP paid her probably around $100k a year....for a 2-star wannabe journalist ability.

[Ramius]

She’s really gone? Did somebody throw a bucket of water on her just to be sure?

Ding, dong the witch is dead!

[YankeeReb]

LOL ... Helen Thomas is such an old hag that when she graduated journalism school the Dead Sea was just getting sick and her opinions were literally written in stone.

Hag Gagged: Helen Thomas' half-century career ends in scandal

I think her career has been a half-century scandal.

[bobby.223]

yes it was. Brit Hume discussed this a few hours ago also. I am glad to see her forced out in disgrace. she still might get some sort of retirement gala thrown for her by a bunch of her elitist scum DC pals spoogin’ all over her with accolades, but it will not be the same.
