The greatest words I have heard in a long time. Helen went out
with a long awaited bang. One thing, Don’t let them come this way.
The US of America has their overly fair share. Great Britain would
be a good passage.

Good luck and God Bless, Helen Thomas.

Who cares??? She should have retired many moons ago. Give someone else a chance to have a Job. I guess she wasn’t PC in her comment. But like I said WHO CARES???

i always laugh when a Christian Zionist frets that we will lose the “blessings of Israel”. Since helping them in 1948 we have never won a war,No longer allow prayer or Bibles in schools, Have worthless paper and pot metal coins for currancy.No longer lead the world in any of the ten areas of production that we once did, became the world’s biggest debter nation. Have the worlds biggest trade deficit.Have out sourced all our industries and high tech firms, went from a Christian nation to a secular sodomite one, Have run up an insurmountable 14 trillion dollar national debt, have 11 million illegal aliens living tax free and bankrupting government services. Pornography and abortion once illegal are now multi billion dollar industries. Since 1948 Drug adiction, divorce,and venareal diseases have become epidemic. I think that what we actually have is the “Curse of the Khazars”.Descibed in Rev 1:9 and 2:9.

Attention ALL IDIOTS!! King Solomon built a temple in Jerusalem and the ONE TRUE GOD Gave Israel that land whether you darn like it or not thousands of years ago! Standby for war as Israel is getting tired of all those terrorist rockets aimed at their kids. Good riddance, Helen~

America is cursed when we go against Israel and blessed when we support Israel. Ref: “Eye to Eye: Facing the consequences of Dividing Israel” by William Koenig. Pgs. 138-139 It’s historical fact. Can’t argue.

Helen’s face is the face of an evil and bitter face, ugly as it is too. When they took that closeup of her it made me cringe because I could see the look of evil in her eyes that were so cold. Now that she’s gone if we could just get rid of the rest of the cold and evil people from the president down the list then we would be alright. Evil seems to always stick and is so hard to get rid of unfortunately. Look how long old Helen stayed in the white house. I just keep on praying for a miracle to dislodge the evil there.
Linda Lee

Anti-Israel is not the same as anti-Jewish. Helen Thomas had every right to say what she said and I happen to agree with her. One honest comment should not be allowed to destroy a long, distinguished career but after all this is FASCISM and we do not tolerate outspoken people who do not agree with the corrupt media. Do we now?

Remember Howard Dean’s scream and Bill Clinton’s sperm and all the other utter nonsense the media pushes while our beloved country is being stolen right from under our feet? It gives them CRAP to push into sheeple’s heads while they facilitate tyranny against the American people.

By the same token, If the US (like Israel) minded its own business, we would not be hated all over the world either! Wake up people! Think what you want but meet your neighbor and find out that we all have a right to our opinion. Good, bad or indifferent, this is our right as Americans. Period. If we would stop the ridiculious bickering about nothing and pay attention to our criminal government, maybe something would change!

libertytrain

Linda Lee – I understand what your train of thought is with regards to Israel, however, I don’t agree with that train of thought. Helen Thomas, unfortunately, said the wrong thing to the wrong person, at the wrong time and was forced to exit in an undignified manner. What she says/said in private doesn’t concern me, what she says as a supposed unbiased “distinguished” reporter does.

DaveH

What’s funny is that the Liberal Media have thrown her under the bus for her opinion. Some have even gone so far as to suggest she’s senile. Does she sound senile to you? They will walk over whomever they need to in an effort to force their agenda.

BLUEEYESOL

Or to hide their agenda!!!!!!!!!!

Emma

All I say is that everybody has a right to their opinion. Helen Thomas has every right to say what’s on her mind and in her heart. If that’s how she really feels, I’m not going to deny her the privilege of saying it. I certainly would not want to clamp my hand over anyone’s mouth and I would not want anybody to do that to me. I hate the politically-correct people in the world today. They’re hypocrits. People should stand up for what they believe and say what’s on their mind. It’s a personal freedom that no one has the right to take away from us, didn’t you know?

No one that is except the White House – what a bunch of crap

Peter Neufeld

America is presently going through the “winepress” of the of the “wrath of God.” America is in big trouble as they are turning against God’s chosen people, the Jews. America will bankrupt in a few short years. See 2Chronicles 7:14 – God says, “If my people which are called by my name shall humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from Heaven and forgive their sins and heal their land.”

clay

Correction – they are not God’s Chosen – they are the self-chosen. Insofar as Judeo-Christian materials were written by Jewish men, the Jewish people have simply blessed themselves and declared themselves holy.

In case you think we’d be sinning by turning against Israel or the Jewish people in general, keep in mind that most of the modern movements which have eroded the fabric of traditional American society have been headed by Jews. The NAACP was co-founded by a Jew; the ACLU is heavily Jewish, as are the anti-2nd Amendment crowd and those who push for legalization of gay marriage.

Go ahead and support “God’s Chosen People” – but remember that they don’t support you.

HELEN THOMAS IS 100 PERCENT RIGHT!THE JEWS IN ISREAL TODAY ARE ASHKANAZI JEWS. PROSYLITES FROM RUSSIA,POLAND AND GERMANY.THE ROTHCHILD FAMILY ARE ASHKANAZIS.THERE ARE VERY FEW SEMITES IN ISRAEL TODAY.THEY ARE AN ILLEGAL TERRORIST COUNTRY!SET UP BY THE INTERNATIONAL BANKERS!

You are a complete idiot.

FREDERIC TESTA

SHE SHOULD GO HOME HOME BEING HELL ALL SHE NEEDS IS A APPLE IN HER MOUTH LIKE ANY OTHER PIG WOULD HAVE
Gyatri

The birds and the bees, the bulls and the bears, EVERYONE does it … protects what they perceive as their territory, however “correct” or “incorrect” that perception may be. However, man, the species supposedly endowed with a little more intellectual capacity than the above, has hardly used that capacity to learn the art of getting along with one another. What a waste!
Leonard

If we apply her logic to America then we should ALL GO HOME wherever that is and give the land back to the Indians… Have a happy retirement! Ignorance wears many hats

Gyatri

Interestingly, the Indians were fighting over territory BEFORE the Europeans arrived…

Chloe

I admire Helen as she has been able to hide her anti-semitism, low these many years. If she had died before her personal opinions about Jews were revealed she would have recieved so many, many acculades from her bias press. The truth will out!
http://www.entertainmedaily.com EM!!

You know, it’s just a shame that there’s no such thing as journalism subjectivity anymore. So the only thing left to do is to find a reliable, balanced source.

I liked this guy’s commentary, funny as hell but also smart and witty:

http://www.entertainmedaily.com/2010/06/helen-thomas-deserves-a-punch-in-the-face-but-rabbi-david-nesenoff-should-be-kicked-in-the-balls/

What do you guys think?

s c

EM, most of America’s journalists have no problems with subjectivity. Subjectivity is the diametric opposite of objectivity. It’s objectivity that they fear.
They try to control word definitions, and they have the gall to demand to be seen as ‘protectors’ of the !st Amendment. They are liars and worthless, useful idiots.
Obummer is a first-rate example of the flaws of subjectivity and controlled information. That makes Obummer (and all of his flunky pals) wannabe dictators and enslavers.

If people would read their Bible. In the Bible it tells of the promise land Israel. If the United States ever turns against Israel I honestly believe that God will punish us. I am a christian and I my beleif is the Jews are the chosen people of God and the gentiles are adopted into the family of God.
http://www.willofthepeopleproject.net Ricardo Johansson

There is no doubt that we are all caught up in derision, multitudes of distractions and divisions.

I think that the antidote includes more reading and sharing of Bob Livingston articles and possibly a read of a short memoir entitled “Emergence from Illusion” wouldn’t hurt (free pdf download at http://www.willofthepeopleproject.net).
amelia whitman

It is no wonder our nation is in such dire straits, as demonstrated by the nasty, uninformed comments made by idiots with a terrible bias against Jews and Against America…the hand that feeds these slackers-morons. I understand the Bible is irrelevant in your lives, but if you can read at all, try reading it. …before it’s too late for you. The hag is understandably biased against Jews and Israel [I am NOT a Jew myself], she describes herself as ‘an ARAB’, however as a REPORTER ethics proscribe any bias in reporting “NEWS”…as for her OPINION…who the hell cares what she thinks?? aside from the fact her opinions color her reporting which was not, in years gone by…when ‘news people’ did their job, and should not be the case now. Having lived through the second world war when I was a child, having seen the changes brought about by the dregs in society, I mourn the loss of so much that AMERICA has stood for. You degenerates turn my stomach….you have caused this nation to degenerate to the point where we have been mongrolized…a sea of ugliness and squalor. Have you even read history, the CONSTITUTION, THE DECLARATION, ANY BOOK???
Chris

I cant believe that a news reporter in Washington DC, would actually tell the truth!!!
RR

So it’s anti-Semite to criticize Israel?? Is it anti- Irish-ite to criticize Ireland or Irish folks? It’s amazing how people have been hypnotized to not think for themselves anymore. All countries for the record is a story of genocide on some level. Take the history of uSA. It’s the same story of the indigenous peoples being routed out by a overwhelming power. NO ONE is above honest commentary- especially Israel as of late and since in 67′ war. ….and when someone disagrees with someone or something it does mean that I hate them….. no, I disagree with them. See how stupid this discussion is? Please don’t rail against me for speaking the truth and have the balls to stand for what right. ANY country that is behaving unjustly should be call out on it…and we haven’t even spoke of the US yet…not enough space on the page…..
stay in love, speak your truth- but have the courage and the will to see the truth

FXP

Thank you! I fully agree. I find Helen Thomas irritating to say the least; but in this issue she is fully within her rights to freely express herself. Through the ages no group has been exempt from committing atrocities. None of us is saints or have our ancestors been untarnished. Many horrors have been committed for so-called “good reasons”. Ms Thomas is of Arabic heritage. She has her personal viewpoint and is entitled to it. Furthermore we all have prejudice of some kind toward something. Being of Arab ancestry Ms Thomas has sympathy toward their plight.Why not? It’s bigotry that we should be against! When our group such as ethnicity or religion is treated in a way we consider to be unfair, to keep silent is irresponsible and hypocrisy.

s c

Helen Thomas should never bring up the topic of ‘oppressed’ Palestinians. Someone with fifty cents worth of integrity needs to ask her how Palestine ALWAYS has a constant supply of in-house terrorists. People from surrounding countries flock to Palestine to foment misery and commit terrorist acts (in the name of “god,’ of course).
If she has a bad case of twisted panties, it’s HER problem. She, like most politicians in Washington, has “been there too long.” Her prejudices have finally begun to bear bad fruit, and she can’t understand why people don’t cater to blatant hypocrisy.
Probably, Obummer will give her a cushy job and a padded retirement. They deserve each other. We deserve neither.
FXP

Ms Thomas did not “bring up the topic”. She was being interviewed and the questions asked enabled her to answer truthfully and not in “politically correct” speech. You say she has a “problem”? Perhaps it may be you that has the problem. You are disrespectful to our president for one thing. Your comments appear hateful and perhaps you are the hypocrite! I don’t think Ms Thomas is an anti-Semite just because she has a disagreement with something that Israel has done.
s c

FXP, if you heard/saw the film, you didn’t understand it. Helen Thomas SUGGESTED a SOLUTION. She said the Israelis need to ‘get the hell out of Palestine.’ Assuming that you UNDERSTAND what she said, your comments MAKE NO SENSE.
Check your progressive credentials at the door next time, chum. We already have more than enough flakes who can’t understand what’s going on around them.
Helen Thomas is just another progressive mouth for sale. Media journalism is a modern form of prostitution, and that’s where most of her ‘talents’ are. Get it?

AndyA

Old people are always noted for their natural wisdom. They have been around longer and know how things should be.
Tim

I find it interesting that once again the ugly side of liberalism is exposed by inexperienced youth. I remember how the media reacted when Acorn was partially exposed as the terrible people they are by a couple of youths. Now this womans anti-semetism is caught on tape by a couple of kids. Where is the “real” press? Shining President Hussiens boots? The function of the press stops being a function when the vast majority of its members are unabashedly biased towards progressive ideology.
One anti-semite in the press corpe being run out does not correct the real problems within the news media industry, but it could be the first step in the right direction.

For one of the first times in history, honest words are spoken in Washington and the reward for honesty is forced retirement. Lesson learned: Honesty is not allowed in Washington!

http://publius-publius2008.blogspot.com Publius

There was not one thing honest about what she said, except her expression of her own prejudice. Since when do we reward prejudice?
OFFSHORE COOK

honesty was rewarded RETIREMENT!

now if NOBAMA BIN LADEN would tell the truth we could retire him!!!!

she is an idiot anyway,the ISREALIS were given the land by GOD!!!!!!!!

MIKE

God did not give the Israelis’ the land; they stole it from the Philistines, who were the ancestors of the Palestinians. It is time to give the land back to the Palestinians!!
Cathie

Give the land back? Let ‘em try to take it!

http://personalliberty.com Frances Greenfield

I totally agree with you. Politicians are too terrified to speak the truth about the Middle East and Israels stealth of Palestinian land and the destruction of homes. I agree….they should go ‘home’ to where ever they came from to colonize an already colonized country. Helen Thomas has nothing to apologize for as far as I’m concerned. The rest of you can go ‘cringe in a corner’.

DaveH

Sure, and the Mexicans should go back to Mexico, and the English should go back to England, and the Germans should go back to Germany, and the Indians should go back to Asia, and the …………
http://don'thaveanywebsite John

There is a different between Mexicans to go back home leaving US and Israelis to leave Palestine to go back home. Mexicans haven’t occupied land and haven’t created a state with own flag in the US.
-
I heard a jew on TV saying for Israelis to go back home is like asking Afro-Americans to leave US and go back to Africa. But Afro-Americans haven’t created a separated own country with flag in the US. There is the different.
Steve

Not yet. But watch out. If the Black Panthers and other hate mongers get their way, they would sure as hell like to try. After all, “The Man’ has been keeping them down for ever.
DaveH

Oh, puhlease. The Jews have been in that region off and on since Biblical times:

They were granted the land which is now Irael by the League of Nations in 1917.

Oh no!! You want to reward for honesty Mike? … then let’s do it!! Let’s reward those who worked for years, who saved to retire, who brought up their own children without the help of others (meaning school breakfasts, lunches, academics, colleges …etc) …. they worked and paid their own way and their children have become … honest, law abiding, and hard working now adults. this is success!!

People looking for handouts, pushing their views on others and expecting the “community” to raise their families is crazy …. lazy … and completely dishonest.

Keep your beliefs inside your family, using your values to do what is best with your family, instead of spouting your beliefs … (as Ms. Thomas has), to hurt others. It is time we go back to our honesty levels and treat each other with respect.
DaveH

Honesty not allowed? No, I think it is allowed. It just isn’t practiced much.
http://www.SaveLakeAtitlan.org Duende

Well put Mike.. real honesty is punishable by death.. either by character assault or a bullet in the head (or a plane crash ). There is more open discussion in Israel concerning Palestinian rights than there is in this country. If you dare challenge and ISraeli polocy you’re either being called an Anti Semite or a self hating jew if you’re lucky enough to be Jewish. ONe real case in point that keeps honest discussion on the left is that the Rothchilds are Jewish (the average Jew benefits not one bit from this ) but the screams of “Jewish Bankers”on behalf of some more of the verbal whites keeps some reasonably intelligent liberals from looking further. It should be just “Bankers” . So now we have a veil of political correctness backed by legal sanctions against “hate speech” that keeps people from getting to the truth. Never mind the fundamentalist christian right that believes the stories in the bible that the jews were always the vistims and we do so lone the underdog. Even if manufactured from history written by the so called victims them selves. When the jes were in power they were killing any one who didn’t worship as they did… that’s why once they were out of power they were run out.

s c

So, Helen Thomas finally dared to put her dirty laundry out in the open for America and the world to see. And, it’s a most interesting type of dirty laundry, too.
I won’t speculate on her politics, but she said in one public performance what she should have said years ago. I suppose if Herr Obummer is looking for another press secretary or a communications czar, this woman would fit right in just fine.
She could even go on tour with Hillary – as long as she stays out of Israel. The strange part of this circus is in what will happen to Helen Thomas. Obummer will get a free pass, regardless of how much HE insults the Israelis. This woman is a mere reporter, so she will be judged by a different standard. It does seem extremely hypocritical, though. How can Obummer get away with it, but she can’t?
I forgot. Obummer packs a teleprompter. Helen Thomas packs a notebook.
So who’s the Hollywood makeup artist who gave her that ‘special’ face? Was it the son of Frankenstein, perhaps? Or did we see her TRUE face?

OFFSHORE COOK

cool needed to be seen and said of this woman. it shows how deep the islamic hatred is embeded.
NOBAMA BIN LADEN should be proud of her and want to ‘kick the ass’ of the interviewer

Gavin Smith

I am constantly amazed by the wrath that is incurred by anyone who criticizes Israel. I understand that in America people are allowed to express their opinion. There is no need for anyone to be particularly upset by the opinion of any private citizen.
If America has a weakness as a society it seems to be that opinions lately tend to be too polar and way to partisan. I would be intrigued to see how Americans would react to anyone who invaded their country in the fashion that America has invaded other countries. Right or wrong its still an invasion to the vast majority of the people involved. Ron Paul is one of the few with the fortitude to say that America doesn’t need to police the world. Unfortunately those behind the scenes who make the decisions about who is to be in power can’t take a chance on someone with principles and a peace agenda. It doesn’t matter who is the president. You can despise Obama but there isn’t much a case to be made for his predecessors. They have all been to some degree puppets.
Israel has constantly been provoking the people of Palestine since they arrived and especially since the 1967 war. Palestinians have retaliated with violence and so the saga continues. No wonder there are strong opinions on both sides. I had a Palestinian neighbor who put it succinctly. He said “How would you like to be kicked off the land your family has had for hundreds of years by a piece of paper issued by the UN.
He emigrated. He wants nothing to do with the conflict over there. Those who feel the need to be involved should move there and get involved, otherwise stay out. There is no need for this foolishness to go on outside the Middle East. He told me that on a one to one basis, Palestinians and Jews have gotten along for years. Its just like any other group of differing ethnic backgrounds. They find a way to get along. None of the politicians and pundits can get along, but they have a vested interest in not getting along.
Helen Thomas spoke honestly. She did not try to be unnecessarily politically correct. She expressed her viewpoint eloquently and succinctly. She lives in America where she should be allowed to have an opinion. I commend her on her candor. I don’t even have to agree with her. She had no issues with those young men who interviewed her, she was expressing an opinion about the behavior of a country. Very different although I doubt they got it. That’s a shame.
libertytrain

Gavin I agree that we are entitled to our opinions, but she isn’t just any person – she was supposed to be a class act journalist, actually she came from the time when journalists actually behaved as a journalist is supposed to behave. I could care less what she says in her living room, but what she says out in public just destroyed about 70 years of a journalist’s career. So sad she couldn’t control her mouth a little longer.
libertytrain

And Gavin – now she can speak all she wants – she’s finally a private citizen.
JoJo

Well Gavin I’ve heard some screwed up remarks I think yours takes the cake, There’s no hope for this world with comments that are made by you people. Jesus Christ is returning and then the show is on. I’m ready are you ???????

What Hellen Thomas Said is True ,And if You Suport What IsrailHas Done Since The Deal they used Murder with England That Got them to give them a Part of Palistine At the Expense of Every Wounded and Killed America and Let to the Second World WAR and all Our wars Since By THE Anti Christ Anti American Anti Constitution Low Life
