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.

You’re right, she’s been spewing her vile crap for years. She should have been gone a long time ago. That being said, didn’t she just start, in the last few weeks, to go after Obama? Please don’t get me wrong but like I said she’s been saying this forever and NOW she gets thrown under the bus? O agrees with everything she said but as soon as she went after him, she was gone. (Good riddance, but is she gone because of what she said or because O wanted her gone, and he is just wielding his power over the press?)

I envision a White House version of the beginning of the TV show “Branded”.

With a drum roll, Robert Gibbs pulls the White House Press Pass from Helen's neck. He then proceeds to cut the pass into small pieces, dropping them to the floor at her feet while the rest of the Press Corps stand at attention with tears running down their faces.

Gibbs then takes Helen's little notebook, tearing out each page slowly and deliberately, staring Helen in the face and repeating with each torn page, Obama hates you, Obama hates you, over and over again.

Only Helen knows that the reason her King hates her is because she has exposed him and his Sycophant supporters for the Anti Semites they are.

After the ceremony, two husky Secret Service Agents grab the Lebanese Goddess, Helen of Jew Hater, and toss her out the the front gate on Pennsylvania Avenue.

I was going to come down like a ton of bricks on somebody for using ‘poetic licenxe’ with the title.

Guess I was wrong, huh?

No, she is gone ‘cause she is stupid.

Hussein is “using this crisis” to denounce her rhetoric, but THINKING people will realize Hussein hates Israel like Helen hates Israel...he just won’t say it out loud. Yet.

Believe me, Bibi Netanyahu ain’t fooled. :)

She only said out loud and in public what is usually reserved for quiet, dinner party conversation by the left.

I’m absolutely confident that much, much worse has come out of her mouth over the decades but we never heard about it because it was said in the company of fellow travelers.
