Helen Thomas Retires

Helen Thomas

Ciao.

Helen Thomas’s comments that Jews should leave Israel and go back to Poland and Germany were especially weighty for me, as I’ve spent the last couple of weeks reading and watching documentaries about WWII and the Holocaust. I guess she forgot that Jews fled Poland and Germany to escape Nazi death camps, and suggesting they “go back” invoked Holocaust images.

I was sad and enraged when I saw a photo of naked Jewish women walking to a mass grave to be shot, and one carried a newborn. I’ve seen lots of Holocaust photos, but that one in particular brought the tragedy into focus. According to a book on the subject, Nazi’s sometimes buried the babies alive with their dead mothers, instead of shooting them.

    According to the AP report, Cleburne Tx. is a rural area 30 SW of Fort Worth.

    Rural my @ss. It has 2 McDonalds, 2 Taco Bells, 2 Starbucks, 2 What-a-burgers, and a Braums.

    These schmucks think anything outside D.C., New York City, Chicago, L.A., or S.F. is Rural.

    anyone know anything about a gas well explosion in Texas? I can’t get any update about it…

    I heard that 3 people have died and it is just outside Dallas. I’m sorry to bring up conspiracy theories again but…aren’t there an awful lot of these kinds of accidents lately? Will the WH allow these crises to go to waste. Just askin…

    I live in a suburb of Minneapolis. Some Hollywood elite said a few months ago when asked what he thought of Minneapolis…”It is a good stopping place when I am on my way from Hollywood to Washington, DC. Yes, Minneapolis is a nice little stopping off point…but God help you if you live here! I mean, we have absolutely NOTHING here! Four major league sports teams, the Mall of America, Guthrie Theater, a major metropolitan airport, etc. etc. I am glad these morons have this attitude because it guarantees they won’t move here! Oh Lord, I would hate it if they lived here. It is bad enough we have Al Freaky Franken!

    She is duly punished. For the rest of her life, she will live with the indignity of having been forced out. Instead of a birthday party at the White House, she gets scorn. Appropriate.

    Now that Helen Thomas has decided to end her long occupation of the front row at White House press conferences, is the “occupier” going to get the hell out of America and return home to Lebanon?

    Does she practice what she preaches, or is she going to stay here and continue her campaign of oppressing, repressing, and depressing innocent Americans?

    Rural!?!?!?
    I’ve driven through Cleburne many times and a few of my distant relatives live there (fourth cousins or something).

    If Cleburne (pop 29,050) is rural, then they should see Floydada (3,676), Mason (2,134), Notrees (338), Flomot (181), and Art (18). I’ve been to all these Texas towns. They haven’t seen rural.

    Then again, I’ve heard some big city (hyper-urban) people describe San Angelo, TX (91,880) as a small town.

    I guess she decided to reture before someone dropped a house on her.

    Shenzhen, China is 12 million people, all of them either building iPads or jumping out of the iPad factory windows. I think San Angelo qualifies as “small town.”

    I think she broke up the Gore marriage and will be living in Santa Barbara. Could be wrong though…

    She should have been fired years ago just for being a radical leftist. The bigotry and antisemitism is just a natural extension of the leftist mentality.

    As long as it isn’t William F. Buckley, I’m okay with it.

    Sounds good to me.

    Perhaps she can hang with her parents for a while.

    Helen represents the most vile of so-called WH Journalists. She derided every conservative Republican in horrible ways during the Bush administration and she was often disrespectful to Pres Bush. Even if she had’t made these disgusting remarks (which is the typical way she always does), she should have retired and left DC with the Nixons.

    Helen, who’s face sank a thousand ships.

    But she did tell us what she really thinks – she just didn’t get to the part about killing all the Jews. Perhaps she’s just senile, but she was increasingly rude, antisemitic, and just plain ugly. Glad to see her go. Bet ya her dog tries to drag her into her back yard and bury her.
