With Helen Thomas, Ugliness Is Not Just Skin-Deep!�

What rock did this one climb out from under. This one acts like she a character out of the V series on TV, unfortunately I don't think she has a spaceship for her to return to her home planet.

It sounds like her idea of peace is the same as Iran's Amandiejad wanting Israel wiped off the map. In the face of what she said her apology sounds like empty words.

I'm glad she isn't a member of the government or Congress, it is embarrassing that she is an American. I think you would need to do some medical testing to see if she can be classified as a human being.

This individual needs to be moved far away from Washington and locked up in a mental hospital in say Wake Island Perhaps.

What a stupid comment. She is turning 90? Good grief, retire already.

[Wada]

I agree that it was a stupid thing to say but let's not forget that there were lots of folks her age on this side of the Atlantic who felt this way and of course those well known American families who supported the Nazis. Sometimes a leopard can't change it's spots. Perhaps in her next life.

damn, the old hag is really off her meds.

Time to put her down before she bites someone.

[PostFactum]

Agree, ot was not very polite saying.

[GreenTiger]

She has decided to retire. One less idiot in Washington.

[EyeBrock]

And it just shows the anti-semitism that lurks beneath the surface.

Why do so many people hate the Jews? I don't get it.

[Guy_Fawkes]

She really should have retired years ago.

Please do note that Thomas is a scion of the liberal media establishment and while the US liberal media is saying what she said is wrong, they're simultaneously lionizing her. And, frankly, her anti-Israel sentiment is typical of the US liberal media so this comes as no surprise to me.

Well, here in Canuckistan, our print media was dominated by a chain owned by Jews, and they had a large part of the TV business too. They made no bones that their editorial policy was to favor Israel. They lost a lot of good people over that (ie people with some professional ethics) and fired some as well. Unfortunately the papers have now been bought out by a group headed by the editor of the most neocon of those papers, so a policy change is unlikely. The TV network might become more neutral, since it's now being run by a good ole boy from Alberta. (I just hope he's not a fundy who thinks Israel has to regain all of Israel/Judea Jeebus to return.)
