Helen Thomas Whacks Obama for Being Heartless as Israelis Starve the Children of Gaza

There is one famous journalist who’s unafraid to denounce Barack Obama’s agenda. Legendary left-wing journalist Helen Thomas appeared on Tuesday’s Democracy Now on radical Pacifica Radio, and denounced Obama’s acceptance of pro-Israel U.S. foreign policy: "I think that Obama, during the campaign, made many promises, as every president, potential president does to Israel, that they seem somehow bounded by their promises, promises to uphold all Israeli goals. I don't see how the U.S. can provide F-16s, gunships, Apache gunships, phosphorus, possibly phosphorus, and cluster bombs and so forth to kill helpless people, children who are starving to death."

Thomas also denounced the White House press corps for bowing to Bush yesterday at his final press conference, offering a "platform of self-defense and self-delusion," and then compared the Israelis to the Nazis: "I remember the rabbi who spoke at the Martin Luther King march on Washington. [Rabbi Abraham] Heschel had a cameo appearance, and he said, ‘The greatest sin of all in the Nazi era was silence.’ When you remain silent to the suffering and the incredible aggression against a people, then you are culpable."

Not even in office yet and he’s already catching the heat. If Helen wants to give him the same kind of treatment she gave Dubya, I’ll get a kick out of it. Although this interview is pretty much all about Dubya.

Perhaps Ms Thonmas can explain to us why it is the Israelis duty to feed the Gazan Children and not the Gazans obligation themselves? Or maybe the rest of the Arab world that put the Gazan into the position that they are in?

No, Helen. The greatest sin of all is not silence. It is opening your mouth and removing all doubt as to your stupidity, bias and outright disdain for the facts. As such, you are one of the world’s most prolific sinners. And as people who look like you should studiously avoid publicity, please take this opportunity to become a suicide bomber. Nasty letter to follow.

Hey

Jimmah’s partner lets off another dosser of condemnation. Of course, the years of the rocketing of Jews is not mentioned.

Another anti Semite leftist. Hell must not have any vacancies since they , Carter and her, are still around!

They add credence to the saying; “Only the good die young?”

Helen Thomas is probably somewhere in a veterinary textbook as an example of hemorrhoids in camels.

Bambi is already getting heat? Who knew? And from Helen Thomas!?!?!?! Why this just proves how ‘Centrist’ the Bamster is. Nothing to worry about folks...he is not a lefty...(Mr. Limbaugh would be proud that his theories are applied by his listeners).

And did I ever miss hearing him today...

“Phosphourus”? You got a source on that Helen or do you just fling war crimes at Jews? Why won’t this rotten corpse stay dead?
