As other media outlets have given Helen Thomas the kid glove treatment in light of her "trailblazing" career, media consumers may be forgiven for assuming that Helen Thomas's anti-Israel, arguably anti-Semitic comments were an aberration in an otherwise unblemished career of assertive but fair journalism. To his credit, Washington Post's media reporter Howard Kurtz made note of other incidents, such as the time Thomas blamed Israel for inspiring "99 percent" of terrorism and the time in 2002 when she exclaimed "Thank God for Hezbollah," the Iran-backed terror group that murdered 241 U.S. servicement in 1983

This shows the black heart of liberalism, that they winked at this evil witch.

Good riddance to the nasty bitch.

Hellen.........get on your broom and be gone.

Helen was dumb enough to think that the majority of Americans agreed with her point of view. This is what happens when you don't have contact with people outside the liberal bubble she travels in. She didn't hesitate to spew her hateful words because she's use to getting nods of approval and pats on the back from the people she usually hangs around with.

Rules is rules....we need pictures.

Unfortunately, I will be unable to return to this thread due to a sudden computer virus.

But I rejoice in knowing you all will be enjoying some great pictures.

I'll say good riddance to this nasty bitch when I have the opportunity to void my bladder on whatever pile of dirt she's mouldering under.

"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."

This is what happens when you let marxist antisemite journalists run amok.

She should have been stood up against a wall and put out of her misery years ago.

Funny how Castro, Putin, and Chavez know what to do with the enemy within and are admired for it by the American left, but the American right can't take a lesson from them.

stood up against a wall

They tried but the wall kept running away.
