“Make no mistake, Helen Thomas wasn’t forced out because her remarks were offensive to the media elite. Thomas said on camera what most in the msm really believe. The only reason to drum her out is simply to distance themselves from her remarks, not because they disagree with a word she said. Her mistake was revealing out loud the common beliefs held by the vast majority of those in the msm. I wish she would actually be allowed to stay on so that she could be held up as representative of the true nature of the msm. By forcing her to quit only makes it appear she is an abberation and allows the media to continue to hide their true agenda. You can read the reaction of liberal anti-Semites in the comments.”

From Wikipedia, posted without comment:

“Ratner attended Goddard College and, for a Masters in Education, Harvard University.[2] She has been dating Cholene Espinoza, a former Air Force U-2 spy plane pilot and currently a commercial pilot for United, since at least 2004. In the gay community they are known as a “super couple.”[1]”

For some reason I thought Ratner was straight. I was wondering what male could stand THAT every day

Helen Thomas has apologized and resigned. What more do people want?

Personally I want her driven from her job in disgrace, as her comments warrant. When people think of her in the future I don't want them to remember her lifetime of liberal reporting or to think of her as a distinguished journalist, but instead remember the hate-filled comments that reflect the real Helen Thomas and which caused her downfall. When someone looks up the word 'anti-semite' in the dictionary I want her picture there next to it. That's what I want.

I'm shocked. Thomas asserts that the Jews in Israel should go back to Poland and Germany, where millions of Jews were murdered in an attempt at annihilation, and we are somehow at fault?

What is wrong with these people?
