Hag Gagged: Helen Thomas' half-century career ends in scandal
The Washington Times ^ | June 8, 2010 | Editorial

Posted on 06/07/2010 4:18:24 PM PDT by Abakumov

Play the end of the movie "Schindler's List" backward - the compelling scene in which refugees emerge from the hell of the Holocaust to freedom in Israel - and you will get a glimpse into the tortured mind of Helen Thomas....

Ms. Thomas expressed mild regret for her remarks, saying they do not reflect her "heartfelt belief that peace will come to the Middle East only when all parties recognize the need for mutual respect and tolerance." She should have heeded her own counsel. Ms. Thomas' comments embodied contempt and intolerance. They were a stark message of hatred from the dean of the White House Press corps, the kind of toxic speech that disqualifies someone from a position of public trust. She now enters her long-overdue retirement, tainting a half-century of White House reporting with the memory of a vile 30-second rant.

Ms Thomas, peace will only come in the Mideast when Arab muslims love their children more than they hate Jews.

You misspelled a word.

She was with George at Valley Forge.

No she wasn't. She was servicing Hessian privates in barns at that time.

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

Normally I would feel pity for a person this homely, but Helen, I don’t. She has hurt so many people in her so called career.

How could anyone forget the way she treated President Bush. Yet he treated her with kindness. (Mark of a real man)

She should go back to Lebanon where she belongs.

Interesting how when one of the totalitarian usurpers lets out how they really feel, their brethren in the media are “shocked! shocked!”. I think it’s more like they’re shocked that she slipped up and let out some truth, thus it’s not surprising the calls for rtirement for “the grand old, albeit a bit senile, babe”. In due time will come the necessary rehabilitation of the “historical record”.

Rahm is Jewish, but is an American citizen by birth. His father is Israeli, though, and I think Rahm has some major daddy issues.

Doesn`t this open the door up to a re look at Rev Wright and Obama`s Church?? I mean Obama probably shares Helen Thomas views on Israel. We know that Rev Wright would get along just fine with Helen, So I imagine Barry would fit right in as well. After all this is the same Non Christian Church that honored Louis Farrakhan (sp)

I say lets re open the whole Rev Wright file. I believe Obama went to that same Church for 20 years, his wife possibly longer?

Couldn’t happen to a nicer, more fitting person. That’s Dan Rather and now Helen Thomas, both retiring in disgrace. How many more MSM whores remain to be shown the door?

I'd be surprised if she didn't have a case of dementia building. She may have always had some pepper for Jewish people but she didn't make a habit of making idiotic public statements.

I don't like her or her politics but I hope her family takes her to get checked out.

He says that she should enjoy her freedom of speech.

No one is interfering with her freedom of speech. Her employer was simply going to refrain from publishing her. She resigned to avoid being fired. Disappointed in Dr Krauthammer.

What this puke simply does not understand is that God dispursed the Jews from their homeland and then started allowing them to return as the Bible says. The Jews are now back in their homeland, and the Bible’s predictions of the end of days is coming right along with that. So, to the stupid liberal puke, that Jews should leave, are totally in the face of what God is doing, and what is going to happen regardless of her or Obama’s wishes. The Jews are not going anywhere. The idiot in Iran is not going to push them into the sea. When the end time comes, the remnant will flee to the mountains to be protected by God, until the end. Then that remnant will repopulate Israel with Believers. Only about 1/3d of the Jews will survive and the remnant will provide the re-population. Stupid liberals and nonbelievers such as ugly Helen simply do not believe.
