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

The Washington Times ^ | June 8, 2010 | Editorial

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.

My guess is that she will pass on within the next 12 months.
She is left with nothing...she will forever be remembered as the anti Semite she is.

[Darksheare]

Ari Fleischer caught her ‘out there’ expressing sympathy for terrorists, but he left her an out.
(Ari is far more magnanimous than I. Helen hated him with a passion, he rolled a birthday cake in for her one day.)

[TMA62]

She leaves in a scandal.....just like Dan Rather. She, like Rather, will be more remembered in how she left than her career.

*Ding Dong the witch is dead

Helen Thomas is more than equal to the three witch hags in MacBeth. “Double, double, toil and trouble”.

Now that she is retired, she is avaible for house hauntings at Halloween, and for rolls in a Rob Zombie movie. I would suggest that she star in the 100th remake of “Night of the Living Dead”.

She can also wall the streets of DC, scaring to death the rats that overrun this city (two-legged and four-legged kinds).

Or, she call host a new edition of “Tales from the Crypt”.

This is one anti-semitic old hag whom the MSM has tolerated and/or promoted for years. I understand that Rev. Les Kinsolving, a syndicated columnist, might be the new senior White House correspondent.

Woe to the White House and the mealy-mouthed Robert Gibbs.

Kinsolving is the modern day version of Martin Luther, and you know what happened when Luther nailed his letter on the church’s door.

Well, I hope that Les nails his questions on the asses of the White House spokesmen. It’s gonna be fun if he is Numero Uno.

helen just told it like she sees it... the rest of the media is just like her... they hate Jews and Christians alike. They adore islam... I mean like a cobra dancing to a flute. They all try to hide the evil in their hearts... I can see it... maybe you and charles can't. They should be shunned from society and driven back into the darkness.

Beauty may be only skin deep; but ugly goes right down to the bone.

Good to know there are still some lines libtards cannot cross. The way things are going right now, I honestly wasn’t sure. Wonder who will get her place of disgrace in the front row. They should leave that seat empty as a warning to the rest of them.

[ridesthemiles]

The ‘first olive out of the bottle” is sometimes the hardest.

The rest come out easy.

Hope Reid-Boxer-Pelosi-NObama follow her post-haste.

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

There was a great deal of taint, and not much reporting.

[Don Corleone]

Believe it...this is how “Progressives” talk when they are among themselves at their Brie and Chablis fun feasts on L.I.

[Max in Utah]

Did she get the sack?

Yep, the old bag got the ol' sack-- over her head, hopefully.

[Typical_Whitey]

90 percent of the Progressive Liberals are anti-semites. All she did was speak the words that Obama himself dare not. They should all be exposed as the bigots that they are.

[PA-RIVER]

Imagine Helen, waking up every morning and going to the bathroom. Looking in the mirror. Dear God, the woman was cursed.

[Theodore R.]

Some of the spite at the end of life is seeing that all those government social programs fail or never deliver funds to the ones in “need.”

[Theodore R.]

Walter Judd once wrote that a tyrant seems invincible until the last thirty seconds, and then all of a sudden he fall apart. Reminds me of the popular Helen Thomas, not so popular any more. Of course, that has NOT happened with Helen’s friends in high places.

[Theodore R.]

To Helen, Ari was one of Stalin’s “useful idiots.” Ari is probably too decent to learn the truth.

[Awgie]

Racism, bigotry, prejudice, stereotyping, hated...they are all characteristics of the so-called enlightened elite leftist progressives. As Helen Thomas so clearly illustrates, they are all vile creatures.

One of a billion positives to come out of Helen Thomas finally exposing true herself for public record is that there won’t be anymore threads about her as her career is over.
Her face gives me nightmares and I will feel much better never having to see it ever again.

[Blood of Tyrants]

Personally, I am looking forward to reading her obit.
