Your damn right Helen Thomas should be fired for making this kind of remark:
Telling the Jews to get the hell out of palestine? Any other reporter would have been let go 5 minutes after the news hit but not this worthless lady.
Ari Fleischer said she should be fired:
But even as she was trying to walk back the remarks, calls for her firing mounted. Among the more vocal was former Bush Press Secretary Ari Fleischer, who claimed to have a close relationship with Thomas when he was manning the daily briefings.
“She should lose her job over this,” Fleischer said in an email. “As someone who is Jewish, and as someone who worked with her and used to like her, I find this appalling.”
“She is advocating religious cleansing. How can Hearst stand by her? If a journalist, or a columnist, said the same thing about blacks or Hispanics, they would already have lost their jobs.”
Lets ask a hypothetical. If she said that all blacks should just go back to Africa….would she get a pass?
I’m thinking not.
So why should she here?
Helen Thomas has been a national joke for years, at least since Tony Snow thanked her once for providing the “Hezbollah view” in the daily briefings, but people rolled their eyes at her cranky, off-topic commentary for years before that. Stein says that her more “filtered” questions — really just rants about Israel dressed up as Jeopardy-style answers in question form — were popular with some of the “political and foreign policy observers” (presumably, Stein means in the press corps). Yeah, I’ll bet.
National joke is right but this also gives me an excuse to dust off my Helen Thomas vs. Tony Snow videos for you to enjoy.
In this one you will hear her chime in and Tony Snow basically tell her to be quiet:
This one needs no introduction:
Here is Dana Perino having to explain the world to a woman:
And one of my favorites and the one in which he thanks her for her Hezbollah view:
All these are funny and show her for the ignorant fool she is but this latest one should be last nail in the coffin.
This old hag should be thrown out of the country. She is nothing but a mouthpiece for liberals. They are getting desparate and want Nobama out of the news. Clinton(Hillary) made a major gaffe recently. Not in the news. Where was Helen and her ugly assed commentary then?
DISENCHANTED: hi, I wonder if the MAYOR and the jewish community in NEWYORK regret their approval to RAUF and friends on building their MOSQUE: today, best thought goes to
PAMELA GELLER,and all who will participated in the rally for support of the ones who lost their love one,and the NEWYORKERS who disagree with that. bye
@ Cuss
Married? Really? I didn’t know Quasimodo’s last name was Thomas.
The agency that represents her, just dropped her sorry ass:

Just read that, Patvann. But then, she has pretty much reached the end of her “productive” contribution, eh? i.e. on O’healthcare, she’d be triaged down to the bottom of the list. LOL
I never thought I’d see such a good argument for rationing of health care.
Good news!
Helen Thomas has officially retired!

Without the voice of Helen Thomas there will be a 100% unanimity on all Israeli questions.
America–do as you are ordered by Zion!!!!!
DR CHARLES G HABERI: hi, we can trust ISRAEL, more than many. bye
Helen now suffers the fate worse than death. Once a figurehead setting in the front row. Left there to ask the question of the hour . . . to make the nerve tingling comment . . . to create the shadenfreude moment . . . now a sacrifice to the obmanation.
Do I express my sympathy for Helen? Yes I do. For in her sacrifice comes nothing gained. A lady who has sat in the presence of so many of our presidents . . . is now sacrificed to the Political Correct media. Given no chance to explain . . . for no explanation would be accepted. Ah, the justice of the word mispoken.
So say goodbye to Helen
a historian of times
for in these times of panic
truth is only lies
Goodbye Helen . . . May Blessings be with you.
TALLGRASS: hi, LONG time no read your comment: IS it true that human are always responsible for what they say: THE “WORDS”, are so important to the success or the shame of human been:
we choose between love and hate as we growing older. AND we pay the price at the end, always. I hope all is well for you. bye
This is going to be bad… The media is already trying to turn Israel into villains. Lets face it, for some reason or another most of the world seems to dislike Jewish ppl. No one really messed with Israel for 2 reasons, 1) There take no shit attitude and yet have willingness to talk. 2) America was always standing right behind her keeping the wolves at bay. This is bad cause as you can see the world is practically descending on Israel. Suddenly ppl are speaking up for the rights of Palestine. You have got to be kidding me. All i know (and all i need to know here) is that if Palestine put there guns down, Israel would too.. But, if Israel put them down the Palestinians would kill them all. Thats all i need to know. They couldnt even keep the hold fire for a day. This is gonna get bad.
Obama, Helen Thomas, the American ppl… who next…
CUSS: hi, CANADA has their back and they wont change either, the trouble makers have been uncovered, if any want to support them they will eventualy learn a bad lesson, and pay the price. bye
Ignorant goes a long way with fools…REPARATION FOR ALL JEWS.
