Helen Thomas Should Go Back to Mordor or the Star Wars Cantina and Get Out of Reporting
**Written by guest-blogger Doug Powers
And yet, there she’ll be in the front row of the next White House press conference:
White House press corps dean Helen Thomas — on the day that the White House hosted a Jewish Heritage Celebration, no less — said that Jews who live in Israel should “get the hell out of Palestine” and go “home.”
When asked where home was for Israeli Jews, Thomas offered “Poland, Germany… and America and everywhere else” that the founding generation of the State of Israel originally hailed.
Just think what she’d say if she wasn’t clinging to her unbiased journalistic instincts.
Click play if you dare — just looking at the still can haunt your dreams:
Update: Thomas issues a statement of regret for what she said.
From Allahpundit:
I’m satisfied. Who among us hasn’t innocently stumbled into a statement of support for ethnic cleansing when we didn’t really mean it?
Helen Thomas has become one of those octogenarian dinner guests soiling themselves at the table in ever increasing amounts who nobody has the guts to lock in the bathroom.

I think there is a misconception, the indigenous people of Lebanon are not Arab. The Arabs are from further east and are relatively recent arrivals in Lebanon, the only Christian country left in the land where Christianity began.
Lebanese, especially Christians, think of themselves as descendants of ancient Phoenicians. I guess that means their godfather is Hiram and their godmother is Jezebel, who by all accounts was considerably more attractive than the hag.
That’s the only reason the Jews are tolerated here. If the Mexican’s voted toward the Right, there would be snipers on the border to keep them out.
What the hell do you have against Mordor?
Being a mere hag wasn’t enough. Helen is shooting for dumbf*ck anti-Semite — dare I say NAZI — hag.
I won’t attempt an answer, but on the whole the jewish community in America as abandoned Israel to the extent they have embraced Obama. That fact gives him all the latitude he needs to do whatever he wants in the Middle-East. America will no longer do anything to aid Israel. Repeat: if Iran calls down nuclear weaponry upon that country, the Obama Administration will do nothing to stop it. To the Left, the annihilation of Israel is the key to world harmony and achieving their millenarian mission. It will solve almost every problem.
Almost, I say. Finishing off America, a process well underway, will then complete the dream and the triumph of the Left, which views itself as being utterly immune to the charge of anti-semitism, will be achieved forever. Calling it the “Final Solution” for the Left is not a grim play on words.
Which do you think she really meant: The posted rant, or this statement on further consideration?
She meant what she said. She’s not sorry she said it. She only regrets having her dark heart exposed.
This might explain the destruction of Beirut – the “Paris of the Middle East.” Once a beautiful city – and more importantly – chock full of stunningly beautiful women…
I think Mordor fits. she’s on the dark side and fits in nicely with the orc’s.
In one single life, this lady has made remarkable journey: From being a well known and well regarded journalist to an openly biased bigot.
From a young and charming reporter to the Lady Tremaine – Cinderella’s step-mom!
We all think the Holocaust could NEVER happen again.
People like Helen Thomas create the antisemitic atmosphere that feeds hate.
I was raised to accept an apology…when I hear a REAL APOLOGY I’ll consider accepting it.
The Jewish community MUST wake up and stop voting for democrats.
The majority are progressive and loath their very existence!

I like what you said. May I add that not all Jews vote democrat. Some are conservative.
I don’t know if there are Jews reading this, but my late first wife lost half her family (all but her father who emigrated to the US) to the holocaust. The holocaust did not start out with the ‘camps’ and ‘Arbeit Macht Frei’, it started with ‘reasonable accommodation’ progressed to speech such as Ms. Thomas’ and acts such as Mr. Barack Obama’s and went on from there to what we now call the holocaust. Jews in Europe went along to get along as they are now.
Never Forget!, Never Again!
It is as if people are trying to make a monster out of her. Oh wait a minute, she already is! She’s an ugly, nasty, dirty troll.
I can’t see the difference between how she looks in that video and here:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jo93t08OwqM
Her “apology” should be spat upon.
If she is not removed from her seat in the WH corps (pronounced “core”!) immediately, Republicans must take the opportunity to tie Obama to her remarks…and burn it in.
Hey, have y’all noticed the total absence of comments from our resident libtards?
I read her apology today and I took it this way: The people who sign her paychecks regret her statement so she was forced to take back what she said.
All she did was finally be honest. She has been exposing what a racist, bigotted, uber-Liberal, biased, Left-Wing, anti-Semetic stooge she has always been since her first reporting job covering the execution of Jesus Christ.
The Crypt Keeper has bullied her fellow media cronies for years, and now that Old Scratch has been reminding her that his contract is about to come due and he will be collecting her shriveled up, crusty soul any day, she feels she has nothing left to lose, so she is not just exposing herself, but has been exposing the Liberal game plan for a few years now.
Therefore, this really should not come as a surprise to anyone. There have been no calls for an apology, no calls for an explaination, and as it is playing out, she has done and said nothing that isn’t becoming apparent to everyone that it is the Obama Administration’s policy.
She should have been booted out, unceremoniously, years ago, but she has far too much dirt on anyone of any consequence in either Washington or the media. Thus she sits there, resembling Salacious Krum’s fat grandmother, believing she is far more qualified to be President than anyone else who has stood at that podium since she first oozed her way into the White House.
No tears will be shed once that contract finally comes due.
Frankly I plan on giving up my sobriety chip that day and drink copious amounts of Mountain Dew spiked with Jack Daniels. I will then sober up and then buy another gun to defend myself against the final solution that I fear is coming down the pike.

That putrid, disgusting woman should be interned in a home for the criminally stupid. Only Obama and his merry band of Marxist fools could pander to such a disgraceful dolt
She’s still alive?
Her WH press credentials should be removed immediately. One can only imagine if a conservative said something remotely simuliar, they would be fired immediately without notice except to hear “You’re Fired!” from their boss.
Just my 2cents worth this weekend.

I want Helen to stay right where she is. She’s in good company, and it provides a spot-light on the dark underbelly of the collective and their Jihadist buds.
The Vile Face Of Race Hatred
AlohaGuy: I lived in Beirut when I was a kid, and yes, it was the most awesome country back then (and has recently made a good comeback once again). My father decided to bring us to the US because he was sick and tired of the street beggars (Palestinians) and foresaw the civil war that lay ahead.
Unfortunately, the Palestinians and the rest of the lowlifes are still there and no one knows how to get rid of them. No other country wants them – not Jordan, not Syria. They are the true cancer of the region.
Just who is her employer?
I for one would have no problem contacting them, asking friends to write them…
…just to “share.”
OH HELL NO, don’t do anything to ruin my daily morning laugh-o-gansas. The Obama Big Top. . . a never-ending mad-hatter’s ride.
Far too few fellow citizens see these exposed crapweasels, and those few that do witness the events don’t realize what’s actually behind it nor do they understand the threat and danger being exposed. The Ole’Crone simply said what she and others believe and say amoungst themselves.
As a matter of fact, she could do a great Emily Litella on Saturday Night Live, covering the “Presidential Erections”, the preservation of our “Natural Racehorses”, and “making Puerto Rico a steak. The next thing you know they’ll be wanting a baked potato and sour cream”.
Well ain’t she special! Keep her there in the midst of all her close minded bigots who hate conservatives as well as jews, blacks, and southerners. She is absolutely no different than Mathews Olberdork and that clown Donaldson.
That picture of helen reminds me of a male elephant seal. I know, tacky of me!

Which part…???
It seems a Ms. Bagley at
LBagley@Hearst.com
would be the appropriate person to address any concerns…respectfully.
Which part…???
Oh dear hadn’t thought of that. I will be nice and say the head part. She does deserve another part, IMO.

Allow me to place this quote into the Michelle Malkin Hall of Fame.
I almost spit my coffee onto my computer monitor. Perfectly captures the insanity-induced audaciousness of this bizarre mealy-mouthed WH press troll.
ssnark: I am so sorry for your late wife’s loss. You are correct. Helen Thomas’ “opinion” is the beginning of the end. We canNOT allow such antisemitic bigotry to go unchallenged!
FIRE HER NOW! STOP PROGRESSIVE BIGOTRY AND HATRED!
No. No. I will not click that. It’s bad enough to just look at a picture of that . . . that . . .
ugly beyotchunattractive antedeluvian, if I click that thing I’d see it in motion and have to hear it. No.I want Helen around with the caveat that Robert Gibbs must answer her every day with a Jewish quote. Either that, or Helen must ask every question with a Jewish quote of some kind. Her words can be forgiven but not with consequences.
Perhaps Helen Thomas should stop occupying this country and go back to Lebanon?
If the rest of the WH press corpse had any principles whatsoever, every one of them would refuse to occupy the same room as long as she were still allowed in.
Never happen, I know.
She knows. She was there.
How is it possible to have gone from NEVER AGAIN to “meah…”

Almost a thousand years of learning to ‘go along to get along’ whether it was persecution by Islam driving Jews to Spain, the Spanish Inquisition driving Jews to Turkey, Turkish persecution driving Jews to Russia, Russian Pogroms. French and English persecution driving Jews back and forth across the English Channel. Forbidden arms in most of these lands and with most of those who resisted dead in wars with Egypt, the Assyrians, the Babylonians and the Romans. Scattered like chaff in the wind. The Jewish people learned to go along with the masters of the lands they were allowed to live in at whatever price was asked. Too many have forgotten the lessons that were learned and that places like Yad Vashem and the Simon Weisenthal center try to remind and educate us about.
Still some perhaps more than you know hold to the ideal, NEVER AGAIN!
I have feared for many years that Israel will be the target of massive, world wide indignation, and violent assault.
In the past decade that has been as true as it ever has.
Currently the world has once again demonstrated that it is ripe for another anti-Jewish, anti-Israel holocaust, as the overwhelming response and comments and stances taken by the world’s nations, the UN, and so forth, were anti-Israel, and in unision with their condemnation of Israel.
Not a one of them considered that Israel has been attacked and attacked and attacked and that they are justified in a non violent form of passive defense, that of blockading the seas so that materials with malevolent purposes cannot be delivered to the self proclaimed Enemies of Israel.
Our own nation is doing this as well, with Obama and his henchment treating Arizona like Pariah, and US citizens as evil, racist, xenophobic, law violating demons, while treating illegal invaders as if they are good, loving, caring, angelic creatures, thus allowing abuses and violations and violence to be perpetrated against US citizens, their states, cities, economies, health, etc., at the hands of illegal invaders.
This is ENOUGH.
Everyone, that means all the posters here, and everyone on their contact lists, and anyone who can use a keyboard should inundate Hearst and demand the firing of this vile, hate-filled, bitter old woman.
If this isn’t hate speech, I don’t know what is. She should be prosecuted as well.
I notice commenter no. 140 had an email address to Hearst.
comment No. 140
Regret that we are all making such a big deal out of a harmless statement. /sarc off
CC. I agree with you and will make it a point to email Hearst and demand her immediate firing. Thanks for the link to Hearst.
Filthy anti semite. Her words convict her. Her non apology is not accepted. G-d has turned His back on her kind.
Lake of Fire, baby.
What is sad is even Fox News is painting this with a “surprised” kinda context. Like these comments are out of character for her. Nothing about this is a surpise. The only surprise is she was stupid enough to say something on camera.
I have one question for this hateful woman:
Speaking of Jews going “home” as she advocates, what country does she believe ought Jesus Christ have gone back to?
Likewise; as the son of a Kenyan national, ought President Obama go back to Kenya in her opinion?
___‹^›__‹(•¿•)›__‹^›___
Two words: Senile. Dementia.
It makes me more sad than angry. Some have said she’s The Wicked Witch Of The East. Seems more like The Man Behind The Curtain pretending to be The Wizzard to me. No grande dame here, just an ordinary old bigot.

This story has legs primarily in conservative blogs and very few MSM outlets. The liberal media has largely ignored and not spoken up about these heinous words she uttered.

There is no truth to the rumor that Helen was Muhammad’s eight-year-old wife.
This morning Bob Beckel said this was a “freedom of speech” issue and she should be allowed to speak her mind without being fired. I am so sick and disgusted by the hypocrisy and double-standards of people like that pig, Beckel. So, Mr. Beckel…what about Rush Limbaugh…made an innocent comment about a black quarterback…he was fired. Trent Lott…wished a happy birthday to a 100-year-old man…he was fired. Don Imus makes an off the cuff remark (granted that was pretty racist)…fired. If what Helen Thomas said about the Jews was said about blacks…that they should all go home to Africa, what would have been the reaction by the moronic left? Need I even ask?

..good one…
Wash Post reporting, Helen Thomas announces retirement.
Good! Now, maybe she will be allowed to just fade away. May I never have to lay eyes on that hideous person again or listen to her vitriolic garbage. She is nearing the end of her life and will have to answer to a higher power for her hate.
Wonder if she’ll go back home…to Lebanon.
