Things are never so bad that can’t get worse and Obama is living proof that as bad as Clinton, Carter, and even the Bushes were we could and are doing worse.

For the life of me I can’t understand why American Jews support the Democratice Party. John Stewart railed against Israel for the blockade. I just don’t get it. Helen Thomas has spoken for the Left - this is how they feel. Obama has marginalized Israel and insulted its leader and yet the American Jewish electorate support the Dems. Somebody explain this to me?

Next Obama should step down..He hasn’t said anything about the Jews so anyone can hear him that matters, but he sure has given them the cold shoulder..Lets ask the Muslim what he thinks of Jews..He will lie as usual..It is strange to me BO went to a racist church that hated Jews for 20 yrs but none of the so called reporter cared at all..His best friends hate Jews, but no one is doing a thing about it..Get his dirty self out of my country..and take Helen the toad with you..

Jon Stewart is really confused. He’s drunk from smelling Obama’s ass. He must think it smells like ambrosia. Ditto, most of the MSM.

The average age of a nursing home resident is younger than Helen Thomas who will be 90 in August.

She's the "Press Corpse" Obama was talkin about.

“These comments by Helen Thomas do not reflect the views of the President, or his teleprompter.”

Here is my theory. For centuries Jews have been persecuted while working hard and being successful members of society. Good at business, doing well in professional fields they made great contributions to the nations in which they lived. All this time out of jealousy, or some other psychological derangement, the gentiles in these nations persecuted the hell out of them, eventually coming close to exterminating them altogether.

Cut to the 2nd half of the 20th century and continuing through to today we see a new group of people who are intelligent, hard working, generally successful, living in faith, committed to their families and the betterment of society and also maligned by the other members of our fair land. Who are these people? Why conservative Christians of course - like some new type of Jew to be persecuted.

Well the real Jews have had enough. They look around and say: "Hey, somebody else is catching all the heat. I'll jump on the bandwagon for a while and let somebody else take all the grief."

Hence Jews against all things conservative and pro all things liberal.

Showing the soles of one’s shoes is the Arab way of showing utter contempt to the viewer.

Don’t believe me? Ask anyone who has spent time in the ME.

"The fact they let this ride for several days - so that the level of shock and outrage over typical leftist hatred can set in - just worsens the demo-crap positions."

Liberals/Democrats still think the various news outlets will be effective in suppressing news of their bad behavior. They keep forgetting about the internet. These people were hoping Thomas' statements would just disappear in the mass of meaningless "news" from the media outlets. They were wrong.
