C-SPAN seems to be the outlet of choice for callers who want to share their extreme opinions with the rest of the world. This morning, a caller stated he agreed with Helen Thomas, whose controversial remarks about Jews and Palestine last week caused her to announce her retirement today.The caller said Thomas comments were spot on. Thomas has been under fire since she suggested Jews should leave Israel and go home to Germany and Poland.
The caller also said the Jews were immigrants coming from Europe who were kicked out mainly because of diseases and homosexuality that were spreading. He went on to say that the Holocaust occurred because Germany wanted Jews out of their country, but nobody would take them because they were spreading disease through prostitution and homosexuality.
While this seems ridiculous, it is not the first time viewers have aired such grievances on C-SPAN, with host Bill Scanlan fielding the calls each time.

Time to get out the spot remover.
CSPAN is a bit Nazi themselves.

He will still get better than 70% of the Jewish vote. Just wait and see.
Wow! I am amazed that Helen allowed the mask of a liberal to slip to see the ugly inside but now it looks like many others will only confirm their black hearts.
I used to like Cspan when they had “open lines”. They were getting too many libertarians and conservatives, so they started having segregated lines. It used to be watchable.
Just cruise on over to HuffPo or DU. Helen’s statements are mainstream there.
Actually, I think that it's more likely that the election of obama has the nut-jobs coming out of the woodwork, thinking "hey, here's a guy who thinks like me, elected by the majority (plurality) of the country." They figure that it's safe for them to finally come out and express their true feelings.

Indeed!

No surprise. Scratch a liberal hard enough and you’ll uncover anti Semitism. They eventually go to that weird Noam Chomsky Jewish conspiracy terrain.
I guess the caller thought that if Helen Thomas started it, her could spew his own filth on the air.
make no mistake about it—she said what she said for a purpose. she knew she would get fired. she simply said it because she could.
but she opened the floodgates— it is now not “unheard” of or “outrageuos” to publicly call for the expulsion of Jews from Israel. To say anything less than that is now considered “mainstream”
whats after expulsion? heck, even Hitler started “labeling” Jews before he started expulsions. helen thomas just skipped that step!
again, whats after explusion?
violence.....
murders....
