HELEN THOMAS, AMERICAN LIBERAL.
Disagree.
There is nothing liberal about Helen Thomas.
She is an old school lefty, anti Semite and a strong Marxist-Leninist sympathizer.
Nothing Helen Thomas has said over the years has indicated her support for individual liberty from the government.
She lives and breathes collectivism.
Well written.
She is a “liberal” as the word has come to mean today - racist, fascist, collectivist, authoritarian. We have to accept the “knowledge” that has been accrued to words in our society today.
“Liberals” used to be “progressives” until the word came to be understood as meaning the above.
Now that “progressive” doesn’t have that meaning anymore (everyone has died that understood that), they’re going to start calling themselves “progressives” again.
Now, as to Helen’s representation of the American Left - she is the epitome of their beliefs. She just committed the “crime” of letting it slip.
To defeat the left, DEFINE the left. Make them define themselves, make them expose their beliefs.
That was a very moving piece, thank you. It is a good thing that this bag of bones old liberal will be dust. May God give her enough of a heart to realize how horrible of a person she has been.
She is just noteworthy because her particularly demonic thrill at the prospect of dispersing millions of Jews from their homes was caught at close range on video.
I thought myself when viewing the video, that when looking so closely into her eyes, we're looking into the soul of deranged liberalism. The hate is palpable.
“HELEN THOMAS, AMERICAN LIBERAL”
Scratch a liberal, find a Stalinist.
Joyce Behar, Wanda Sykes, Goldi whatshername, Jane Fonda, etc., etc., etc.
There is nothing "liberal" about today's liberals. They have co-opted the word, and it no longer means what their followers think it means. It is inconceivable that any true liberal from previous generations would even tolerate today's liberals. Helen Thomas, Barack Obama, and Nancy Pelosi have far more in common with the socialists of 1933-1945 Germany and 1922-1953 than with any group that actually approves of freedom and individual liberty. FDR devoted his life to stopping people like today's "liberals", as did JFK.
My experiences (with a handful of Nazi camp survivors) have been quite different. They welcome the questions. They want you to know.
Perhaps they realize that books can be censored, schools can serve a political ideology, and history can be redacted -- and repeated.
Yes, America’s liberal left loves Helen and shares her views on Israel and the jewish people.

This is an important article, but I believe Bob Lonsberry makes one mistake: instead of “American Liberal” he should have written “American Progressive”, since that is what they like to call themselves nowadays.
And that label is fitting, since the great-grandfather of American Progressivism, Woodrow Wilson, was a racist, anti-semitic bigot, and the original Progressives, like George Bernard Shaw, admired Mussolini (Fascist), Hitler (Nazi), Marx-Engels (Communist), Margaret Sanger (Mother of Eugenics): all philosophies that were and still are comfortable with the extermination of “undesirables”.
As proof of Lonsberry’s thesis, consider that modern Liberals (Progressives) today build on their rich philosophical tradition with their unquenchable admiration of such modern butchers as Chairman Mao, Che Guevara, Fidel Castro.
If you haven’t read it, get Jonah Goldberg’s “Liberal Fascism.” This book is required reading for each one of you and for your children, especially those who are impressionable students.
Over the last 15 years or so, there’s been a calculated, intentional campaign, in this country and in the World, to delegitimize the Israeli nation. It is an organized campaign of leftists and Islamic terrorists. The goal is, and has always been, the dismantling of the Israeli nation, and putting the Jewish population in exile or servitude. Such is the nature of the people who take the side of Hamas and Fatah.
Our President is noticeably absent from the conversation about Helen Thomas’ views. Wouldn’t it be leadership if he said that prejudice and stereotypes are wrong?
Don’t know if you heard, but before this flap, the WH was planing a birthday party for her 90th...now it’s been scrapped. That would have been the apex for her..now...she won’t have it....
Just as Satan hates the special creation of God in general - humans, he hates the Jews with a special hatred as God’s chosen people.
The left works for Satan, Islamists work for Satan - ever wonder why the libertine left has no problem with the “intolerance” of Islam? They have a bigger common goal.
They only demonstrate indignation when their Liberal views are not respected.
I AM dreaming.
Hate is what they say they despise.
Yet, it seems, that they hate more intensely and more broadly across the social spectrum than those they criticize.
They are contradictions to their own definitions.
They are happiest when they have others to point at and criticize.
To (criticize) is really not a good term because for the lefty their hate is worse than any adjective I can think of.
I could go on about the left but I would only have to resort to redundancy at some point - so I won’t go there.
