As I have read down through these comments my heart is breaking at the absolute cruelty in all of your remarks over something this woman has no control over, and that is her appearance. It is frightening to me to think that you are all thinking these kinds of remarks are worthy of posting and worse -- that your posts are funny. They aren't funny. They are treacherous. It would be one thing to criticize Helen Thomas for things she has said or done -- things she had control over, things that were a matter of personal choice on her part. But to slay this woman for her appearance seems to me cruel beyond belief. She can't HELP how she was born.

Oh please.
Nobody has tied you to this thread.
If you're offended, move on.

As for her looks... she's been under the surgeon's knife, so knock it off with the sanctimony.

Your "heart is breaking" over a few snarky comments you read on the Internet? Heaven forfend you should actually suffer real tragedy in your life or somebody else's life.

Our troops are in harm's way every day in the Middle East, and unfortunately a few are murdered too often to suit me. We lost over 3000 of our friends and neighbors in New York on 9/11 due to the actions of evil misguided men. Where is your fricking outrage about THAT?

It is frightening to me to think that you are all thinking these kinds of remarks are worthy of posting and worse -- that your posts are funny.

Actually, they are hilarious. Helen Thomas is a public figure and has thrust herself into the political debate willingly. She's a dried-up, poisonous old battleaxe who should have been put on mandatory Thorazine suppositories 15 years ago.

It would be one thing to criticize Helen Thomas for things she has said or done -- things she had control over, things that were a matter of personal choice on her part.

Uh, didn't this thread (and every other Helen Thomas thread for that matter) start off with exactly that? She has the choice whether or not to write the journalistic equivalent of raw sewage, and she gets paid very well to do it. She is fair game for the response she receives as a result.

But to slay this woman for her appearance seems to me cruel beyond belief. She can't HELP how she was born.

Nobody is being "slain" in this thread, and your nonsensical hyperbole betrays you. Take your finger-wagging and your bleeding heart elsewhere and get off my FreeRepublic.
