Winner Of 2010 Sarah Brady Visionary Award Resigns In Disgrace
 
Friday, June 11, 2010
 

On May 18, the Brady Campaign held a big shindig in Washington, D.C., to give this year’s “Sarah Brady Visionary Award” to now-former Hearst News Service White House reporter Helen Thomas.

In accepting the award, Thomas vilified the U.S. Supreme Court for declaring the Second Amendment to protect an individual right to arms, and vilified the Armed Forces for fighting the war on terrorism.

“The inept Supreme Court has found a way for all individuals to have a right to have a gun,” Thomas griped. “No Guns! What planet does the Supreme Court live on? . . . We’re living in an era when we send robots halfway around the world to kill people in their own country, and no one asks why. Let’s never give up hope that we can control deadly guns in this country.”

Before Thomas accepted the award, Brady Campaign president Paul Helmke read a statement from President Obama, who said, “Helen Thomas will always hold special place in my heart.” Sarah Brady called Thomas “the finest journalist of our generation.”

Mrs. Brady may wish to revise and extend her remarks, however. Thomas’s moment of adulation was brought to an abrupt halt on June 7, when Thomas resigned in disgrace for having said that Jews in Israel should go back to Germany or Poland, where, as the world knows, millions of unarmed Jews were imprisoned in concentration camps and, ultimately, murdered by the Nazis.

Yes, only Arabs should have guns for getting the Jooos out of ‘Palestine’.

Here’s some bitter irony for you.

Back in April, I received the Helen Thomas Spirit of Diversity award. Yes, diversity. And yes, Helen Thomas, the legendary White House correspondent who recently nuked her career — and legacy — by telling a rabbi, following a Jewish heritage ceremony at the White House, no less, that the Jews of Israel should, in effect, go back where they came from.

Does this mean we won’t have Helen to kick around anymore.

Helen Thomas is nothing but a political septic tank and the toxic waste within her finally overflowed. If she doesn’t get right with Jesus, she’s going to meet some other notable anti-Semites, like Arafat, Hitler, Khomeini, just to name three of the more notable scumbags now sizzling over Satan’s 24/7 BBQ Pit & Spit.

Of course we need to kick Paul Helmke around ! If I remember right, he ran against Evan Bayh but he was a poor excuse for what the Republican ticket put forward to run ! Someone much better should have run !

Be fair now, Helen does believe in diversity, even for Joooos. Some Joooos can go to Russia and get killed, other Jooos can go to Germany and get killed, and some can even go to Spain and Italy and get killed like during the inquisition. See, diversity all over the place!

The bigger scandal is that the Brady Campaign has scrubbed their entire website, plus Google’s cache, of any mention of Helen Thomas being honored by them.
